Had a few beers at Crows Nest Hotel during happy hour, and it was exactly what I needed. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, with plenty of space to sit and chat. The beer was perfectly chilled, and the prices during happy hour made it even better. The staff were quick and cheerful, and the crowd had that friendly local feel. It’s one of those reliable pubs you can always count on for a relaxed evening and good drinks.

Staff were awesome, food was not very good. We ordered the wings, lamb and hummus and chicken skewers. Chicken skewers were ok and the best of the 3. The “crispy wings with hot honey and something else were… dry, unseasoned and wasn’t sure what I was eating at times. The lamb and hummus what a let down. Barely cooked lamb mince… that’s right, lamb mince served on a giant pile of hummus. Shocker. Come one guys even if you have to use mince get some colour and nice charred bits on that mince. It’s not rocket science. Still have heartburn from one of the dishes. Stoned Crow just down the road and miles ahead in food.

An absolutely fantastic pub! Gets really lively on the weekends and has a great atmosphere. They allways choose great bands and dj's, the service is fast and the food is pretty good too. It was the first time I had been here in a while and I was happy to see that they're still doing great! Will be back here soon!

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!

Recently visited with my colleagues for our Christmas party- space and atmosphere was good, food was good too, I ordered Fairytale Eggplant, couldn't figure out why it was named as Fairytale and we had a good discussion on that 😄 anyway it was good taste, raw vegetables plate was unexpected, it was healthy option, could include better options..The most unsatisfactory thing was the drinking glasses, very unpleasant to get a glass that was not clean enough, I would never serve on that glass to my guests or use that at home. It is expected to follow cleaning standard at least to the minimum.😒
