year agoWhat a fun bar. Made you feel welcome right at the door. Met some great locals, talked about the old days when fishing was good. Yup, it's a fun bar. Oh, the movie, Perfect Storm, pictures all over the bar. Ask to see the book.

11 months agoOn our Ladies Day July 8, 2025. We decided to drop in the Crows Nest for a cocktail before dinner. The bartender was great, she was also around duing the actual perfect storm in 1991, and there for the filming of the movie with George Clooney. She gave us an album and book to look tbrough. There are memoribilia pictures on the walls. Locals are very friendly, again, happy Birthday Day. Amber!! Its not fancy, its a local watering hole. We did not sleep there.

11 months agoWe stayed 2 nights upstairs in the Hotel. The room was super clean and just what we needed. 2 beds. Clean towels and sheets. Mini fridge. Microwave (we didn’t use it) Comfy beds. Clean bathroom. TV Perfect for us. We could not hear the bar from our room at all. We could walk to Main St. We ate at The Burn (excellent) the Lebanese restaurant next door (excellent) and Destino’s (excellent) We drank at the Crows Nest and everyone was super nice. In the rooms upstairs, you can’t control the temp in the room (they gave us a fan) and the street noise is kinda loud but we didn’t mind. Dogs were welcome :) We look forward to returning one day!

month agoStopped in to have a drink at the famous Crows nest. Great bar ! It was nice to talk with Mary Anne Shatford owner who was bartending. She shared stories of the filming of the movie and was so sweet! It's a great place to hang out and throw some back!

6 months agoSuch a great atmosphere and the locals that hang out there were very welcoming. I almost felt like maybe we shouldn't be there since it's a locals bar. Yet here comes my wife and I, two complete tourist, strolling in. It only took a minute to break the ice and start taking with people at the bar. They were super nice, high-larious, laughing and having a great time. We also got a great history lesson on the real story behind "The Perfect Storm" We met the sister of one of the crew members and got to look through the famous family album of the bar and the crew members. It was a great experience. Thanks to everyone!
