Crows Nest Hotel reviews

4 Star Review by Misspiggyexplores

Nice vibe, great night for locals! If you love drinking, dancing then you will love this spot! The music is ok! But I havent tried the cocktails, next time.

2 Star Review by James M

The pub itself is great... Good location and some really nice areas upstairs. Have had many a good trivia night here. The food quality has plumetted... I've eaten here half a dozen times and been a bit disappointed but tonight reminded me why I shouldn't order food here. Such a great pub but the food is so far below par. Needs a refresh.

2 Star Review by Melanie Sauer

Absolutely shocking food. Barramundi was definitely frozen, not fresh. Mash tasted like it was a packet mix and my friends chicken burger was raw. Reminded me of the dorm meals at uni. Not cheap either.

4 Star Review by Kambiz Shojaee

I really do like this place. It is our go to. Sometimes, the music is extremely loud (not vert loud, but extremely loud) which makes no sense for Sunday nights. Overall, it is a great place. Great food and drinks

5 Star Review by Graeme Mullarkey

I am so lucky to be a part of the crow nest community with such a great place like the Crows nest hotel to hang out at. Ming and Chi are the most incredible gaming attendants and are the reason I come again and again!
