According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, humans cannot attain self-actualization without first tending to such basic physiological needs as water, sleep, and hot wings. Achieve overall fulfillment with today’s Groupon to Nick’s Pub. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get $20 worth of casual American fare and drinks.
• For $30, you get a ticket to the New Year’s Eve party, which includes an open bar, champagne toast, live music, and festive eats (a $60 value).<p>

At Nick’s Pub, the staff piles plates with classic comfort fare and fills glasses with more than 65 draft beers. Eaters kick off meals with a platter of 12 wings ($5.99), cooked in a choice of styles, including traditionally fried, beer battered, from the pit, or telekinetically roasted. Once tongues’ interests have been piqued, they dive into a mushroom and swiss burger ($3) or a Big Island half-pound burger topped with breaded and fried mozzarella, ham, and pineapple slices ($7.50). Hearty entrees, including Dublin-style shepherd’s pie ($9.95) and Newcastle-style fish and ‘n’ chips ($9.50), pair well with glasses of 36 draft beers ($4.25+) from local breweries such as Ferguson and Crown Valley, making for a more delicious union than mixing pints of ale while licking the bar stools.

On New Year’s Eve, guests can engage in friendly competition at dartboards and pool tables as they ring in 2012. Revelers drink from an open bar 9 p.m.–1 a.m. and munch on pizza and wings, polishing off 2011 with a champagne toast and loving obituary about the month of December.
