| - Real classic neighborhood pub that feels a bit out of place in the cozy residential area it sits in, but can't be beat when it comes to replicating what a pub should be: good food, good drink list, and no TV.
The Crow's Nest is a place to circle around little tables and pass the time talking to friends over a pint or two, maybe stay a bit long and order some dinner while you're there (bangers'n mash or a meat pie?), maybe grab another drink and just enjoy time spent in good company while the world outside dashes along without you.
Yes, the parking isn't great; it has a small lot and relies on your legs to take you there from the local street parking. Yes, the close early; it's smack in the middle of a residential area and keeps more traditional British pub hours of operation.
But they have painting and axes on the walls, not jerseys and TVs; they serve food with actual care and flavour, not deep fried stuff out of a box, covered in sauce; and they have a loyal and welcoming community of customers, not an endless stream of transient drinkers and territorial regulars.
They're not a bar, they're a pub; and there's a lot to be said for that.
