I recently visited Crows nest hotel, and it exceeded all expectations. From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a great evening. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. The drink selection was impressive. Plenty of local ales, craft beers, and a solid range of spirits and cocktails. The food was equally fantastic: hearty, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you’re in for a quick pint or a full meal, this place delivers. Live music on the weekend added to the lively vibe without overwhelming conversation. It’s the perfect balance of cozy and lively, making it ideal for everything from casual nights out to special occasions. Highly recommend giving Crows nest hotel a visit. You won’t be disappointed!

Dropped by the pub today and it looks fantastic after the renovation modern, lively, and welcoming. The food was delicious and matched perfectly with the atmosphere. Spent some time in the gaming room. Kitty was super friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable.

Great venue for watching sports or just having a drink. The Crow's Nest Hotel bar is quite homey and pleasant. I understand that they also have life music on certain nights. We very much enjoyed our time there.

Update January 2025: The first time I went there, it didn’t really have that local vibe. Recently, they changed the lighting from blue to a warm tone, and I’ve found myself visiting more often. I decided to stop comparing it to places in the Inner West since I live in Crows Nest now. The staff are super friendly, the food is surprisingly good, and the daily deals on the Pub+ app are excellent. I highly recommend it, especially the upstairs area on sunny, breezy days. Update: I have ordered some food and they were surprisingly delicious. Their daily special on beers is also great. I was expecting more of a local feel, given that the venue carries the suburb's name. However, on Friday evening, the crowd was mostly quite young, almost as if it were in the city centre. The staff were very attentive, and the bar area upstairs was neat and lively. It doesn’t have a particularly unique character, but the happy hour is excellent.

We had our son's 21st in one of the private rooms and it worked really well for a medium sized group (around 60 people). This was the second time we had a party in the private rooms. We have found the service from the events team to be very good, the wait staff were accomodating, friendly and helpful, the food was very good and it the atmosphere was perfect for a casual event.
