Not the best first experience. I've been wanting to come here for years (I am 36 and went to Hillsboro High School) and I guess I picked the worst day to come in. Not a single staff member was seen for the first 15 min I sat at the bar. When I was finally greeted, I told him I was about to leave and he said, "oh sorry didn't see ya" even though I made direct eye contact with him twice. I have worked in the industry for 15 years and never have I ever felt the need to write a such a review like this, but I'm hoping the owners see this and find a more competent staff. Especially a manager to help when needed because they definitely could have used one that paid better attention to the floor. Sorry to be harsh, but I have manager eyes and I was more aware what was going on in your restaurant than anybody else. I asked if he was the only one working, trying to be sympathetic and he said he was but some other guy came out when he could tell I was a little annoyed to help him out. I ordered a chicken scratch and it was $6.50! I've never paid more than $5 for one and I used to work for the brewery. The tenders and fries are what I ordered because I didn't have time to waste. They we're ok, the honey mustard was more of a salad dressing than a dipping sauce which is fine, I will try a new sauce next time. It was 90 degree weather and they had the windows open. Flies wouldn't stop bothering me and I couldn't feel any sort of ac, I thought about going upstairs but it was closed. I will come back to give it another chance, maybe it was just not the best place to grab lunch on a Monday. read more

A hometown hero and a Nashville delicacy. Order the Cali Club. the best service in Greenhills.

The new menu at Crow's Nest is great! We went for dinner last night and tried the new catfish po boy sandwich and the new banana pudding recipe! DELICIOUS! We can't wait to go back and try other new items! We also had some old favorites like the cheese curds and wings which are always great. Good food, drinks, atmosphere, and management! Love going to Crows Nest with friends and family! read more

Great place to stop and have a beer or watch a game! The staff is amazing and they have plenty of room for you and the family!

JD needs a 1000% raise cause these espresso tinis are something else. Absolutely the best service I've ever had at any bar... JD is the best manager of any bar all time and she runs this shit like a badass motherfucker. 100000000/5 stars, best bartender of all time. I will be back a million more times. Thanks again JD for running such an amazing establishment. read more

Great atmosphere and food. Fun place to watch a game or grab a beer. Ask for Emily, she's the best!

I love this place. Feels like home. My go to for sports games. Love it so much. See them again soon. Nathan, Shayna, John, Jules are the best! read more

Open late-- bar food, and plenty of tv's. What you see is what you get, I recommend sticking to beer as far as drinks are concerned. I ordered a craft cocktail that was alright, but I should have known better. This is a primarily a sports bar. HOWEVER, I should mention their pizza rolls / southwest egg rolls. They are made in house & very tasty! read more

Crow's Nest has the best quesadilla in town. Dare I say it's better than a Mexican restaurant's. Not to mention how great the service was!

The seating is odd, I'm not sure what was intended. The food was so-so. The bartender seemed over tasked and unattentive

Crow's nest is a local hole in the wall. I frequent here due to proximity. It's great for a quick bite when you can't figure out where you want to go, it's on the list of "there's always crows nest!". Good food with a "bigger on the inside" building. It has downstairs seating, upstairs seating, and an outdoor patio. I got the blackened chicken wrap, others got a burger and the chicken tender basket. Everyone was happy - good tots and fries but onion rings were "so-so". I'll be back, because there's "always crows nest". read more

Crow's Nest - Crows nest patio. - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Were fans of an out-of-market football team so watching a game is a challenge. Crows Nest put one of their numerous TVs on our game. The place was raucous. There were a million Bills fans there as well as Titans fans and the cheering never let up. The food was above average and the beers were ice cold. Staff was super friendly, too. read more

I am actually sitting at the bar as I post this. Came to watch the Alabama football game because this is listed as an Alabama game bar. The food was mediocre, at best. I ordered wings and a side Salad. I asked for the wings to be well done, they were not. My husband ordered the fish tacos, they were strictly average. The bar was NOT busy after the Tennessee game and it took, an average of 15 minutes each time we needed anything. The bartender spent most of her time hanging out at the far end of the talking to a friend. Believe me, we will NOT come here again. read more

A friend and I went here because it was suggested to me as a dog friendly patio. I didn't ask about the food, I just wanted somewhere low key that I could wear leggings and a hat and not feel under dressed, and that my dogs could hang out! Most of Nashville tries very hard to be "upscale" so I often skip bringing the dogs. Our server was so friendly, fast, and efficient. Very welcoming to the humans and the pups. Their limited menu still had a wide variety of entrees (meat and three), appetizers, and burgers/sandwiches. I had the smoked salmon with sides, and it was delicious! The atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for as well. This will definitely become a repeat spot for me while in Nashville! read more

dingy and terrible service. parking is an issue. there are much better options all over green hills.

My new trivia spot (because Greenhouse Bar cancelled my usual trivia night with no warning at all). It's a-okay. Big menu of food - typical bar food: sliders, sandwiches, chicken fingers, fried fish, etc. Big selection of beers (not much on tap, but a lot of beers bottled and canned). Full bar. Parking in front and behind the building. Decent service both times I've been. Would I go out of my way to eat or drink or hang at Crow's Nest if it didn't have trivia? Probably not, but it's an a-okay bar. Definitely feels like an old local bar - no tourists or hipsters here! read more

Crow's Nest - Trivia time!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Don't waste your time here. Weird vibe, Bartender was rude from the jump and she could not be bothered for the last hour of her shift. "Happy Hour" is a joke. Space is dirty and bar had shit all over it. Overall bad/awkward experience. First and last time we'll be there. read more

Not a bad place at all. Food is good and the prices are decent. The reason for 4 stars is because of the heavy amount of underaged college kids that swamp the place on the weekends. If you can drink on their level or simply ignore them- this place can guarantee a good time! read more

It was decent food. The waiter seemed COMPLETELY disinterested in serving us. After ordering, we also asked for an appetizer. Never got it. 2 of the people I was with didn't get the blackened chicken on their dish. The food expediter didn't care. The waiter came to check on us after signaling him 2 times to get the order right. He said oh sorry. Then went back to get the chicken. Claimed it was his fault for the lack of appetizer. But he still clearly didn't care. Came back a third time for drink refills and last time to bring the check. The worst part was when they turned the volume up to 11 for the saints cards game for a group of saints fans on another part of the restaurant. So conversation wasn't an option. Oh and the saints sucked and we heard ALL about it. And every commercial the volume turned up to 13. Will NEVER be retuning to this mediocre sports bar. read more

Went here on a Saturday night. Place was not crowded which was concerning at first not knowing what the food was like but they easily sat our group of 10. Waitress was very attentive. Salad lettuce was a little wilted/questionable but the nachos, wings, and turkey club were phenomenal! Highly recommend the sweet potato fries! read more

Came here after a function because it was close to home...... bartender made me feel like I was bothering him. Not even a busy night.

A friend of mine swears by this place, as he works nearby. He wanted to share the experience with me; however it turned into an embarrassment for him. I still thought the food was really good and the staff was so kind. I'm certain my less than perfect lunch experience was isolated, however there was no parking, we stood for 5-7 minutes at the hostess stand without being acknowledged and the food order was incorrect when it came. I'll definitely try them again...oh...if I can find a spot to park. read more

Being new to town not sure where to go so I tried this place of course because it said sports bar.....so the food was good the sports were on and the drinks are fantastic!! read more

I was in town and wanted to watch a few NFL games so I ended up here. Its a great place to go to catch your out of state team(s). I was here to watch/support the Giants and the Chiefs and make fun of any Jets fans, the forlorn and rejected. The whole building is studded with TVs featuring all of Sundays NFL match ups. Find the game you are most interested in and pull up a seat or a table. There was plenty of room for all. The bar will have everything you could want and they have a large and varied menu. I wanted to give my liver a break this afternoon so i decided to try the lemonade. It was terrible. It was a giant glass of that powdered mix stuff, Whyler's drink mix or Country Time. How hard is it to squeeze out some lemons and sweet syrup into a glass? A real lemonade or limeade is worth the effort. If your business is food/beverage why do you spend $100k on TV equipment but not $3k on a commercial citrus juicer? The fried pickles were odd enough for me to enjoy but the chips n' salsa was phoned in. The chips were cold and the salsa, your basic 7-11 brand. This may be the only place i would pass on the chips and salsa. It was that lousy! Heck, I've eaten nachos for breakfast. Ask, my mom! Anyway, If you want to catch your NFL games and have a few drinks, this place is a good spot. The kitchen needs some reworking though. The fare was borderline municipal.. read more

The Crow's Nest is an outstanding sports bar. Not only are there flat screen TVs everywhere you look (including on the spacious and relaxing back deck), but the menu is great and the prices are just right. While you'll find all your favorite bar staples on the menu, the Crow's Nest ups the ante a bit and serves some great specialties that would be at home in some of the city's fancier dining establishments. For a real treat, check out the Fried Green Tomatoes (crispy, delicious and served with an artful touch). The beverage selection is exactly what you would expect at a sports bar, with an emphasis on beers and mixed drinks. And the waitstaff are generally friendly and seem to know the menu pretty well. Perhaps the best measure of a great sports bar waitstaff is their understanding that, on game days, people like to setup shop and order leisurely throughout the night. On a recent trip to the Nest during the NCAA tournament, we occupied our table for more than 4 hours and kept our waiter busy. He was helpful and enthusiastic the entire night, without being overbearing. The sign of a true pro. Parking is limited, but they offer a free valet. The bathrooms are a bit small, but well maintained. And during our visit we noticed a number of groups with kids who all seemed to be enjoying the Golden Tee machine located on the top floor near the ATM. The Crow's Nest is definitely worth adding to your regular rotation. read more

Crow's Nest - The back deck at Crow's Nest. - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Crow's Nest is a local hub with food, sports, and drink. The meat and 3 is a great deal. The catfish is the best we have found in Hillsboro, east Nash, downtown, etc. Crispy, corn meal breading fried to a crunchy and tasty perfection. We have had the sweet potato fries, fries, and tater tots which were all crispy and cooked just right. Each and every time we have been here, we order catfish and it never disappoints. The environment is laid back, casual, and welcoming. Great food and good service. Great job Crow's nest! read more

I found Crow's Nest to offer average food and average service. The cheeseburger I ordered wasn't bad, and it wasn't great -- it was filling and the brioche bun was light and airy. The sweet potato fries were good but room temperature at best. It's a great spot to watch a game and get drinks, but your mileage may vary when it comes to the food. read more

Crow's Nest - Cheeseburger and sweet potato fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I'm trying to be positive but this was actually the worst place I've ever been. Literally I've never felt so hopeless. This place doesn't even past the health inspector. Didn't receive any type of compensation for the poor experience I had videoed below is particles I had in a tower I ordered while watching the basketball game I waited 50 mins to get. I cannot believe I still gave this place my money as well as tipping the guy who gave me and my friends the absolute worst service I've ever had. This is a dirty place that I don't know how is still open. From one person another please don't go to this place. It's a gross place that doesn't care about germs and most importantly about the well being of a person. Literally everything about this place is absolutely awful. With the experience I had and the people who own this place and the people they hire I can't expect my money back however this place was the biggest robbery ever. This place needs a change because while everything was terrible there was no management to make it right and I cannot believe I wasted my money at a place like this. Do not sell me a tower of beer that is dirty and when the bartender is asked about it he tells me the container the beer was poured into a dirty tower because there's apparently only 2 people who we're working. read more

A girlfriend and I happened on here after our visit to Greenhouse Bar got cut short upon the realization that they no longer serve food (oh no! Those tater tots were great). The bartender at Greenhouse recommended Crow's Nest, just around the corner, so there we went. If you're looking for a fancy, cocktail-touting lounge bar, this is not the place. Instead, Crow's Nest is much more of a local dive with a surprisingly robust beer and wine menu. I ordered a house white and a pulled pork platter (comes with pork on jalapeno bread, coleslaw and french fries) and my friend ordered a black abbey beer and a burger. My meal was tasty--pork was tender and fries were crisp--just the way I like it. The bartender was also very friendly and patient with us as we took forever to peruse the menu. It was pretty quiet for a Wednesday evening, probably due to all the rain Nashville has been seeing lately; however, the low hum of chatter from the locals around me was soothing. Good experience overall. read more

Good place to catch a game, grab a beer with friends and just to hang out. We went late on a Friday so food was not on our minds, but a couple of decent drinks were, and the bartender did a good job getting those to us quickly and with the requested water on the first ask! We sat upstairs which is where the name comes from as it is more of a loft that circles the open center looking down at the bar below. Is it fancy? Nope. Pretentious? Nah. Friendly? You bet! Just the kind of place you'd want to sit and grab a beer at. Plenty of free parking is also an added bonus. read more

I've heard about the Crow's Nest for years, but somehow never considered it worth a trip. I mean, it's a sports bar. But Sunday I was looking for a Green Hills brunch spot and decided try it out. We got there before noon, so there was no need to use the ubiquitous valet parking service and all the tables were open. Somehow our party of two still got the table next to the kitchen. Service was fast and fairly friendly. My Bloody Mary was mildly spicy and quite refreshing, although free of the "salads" you get with some of them. I had the Crab Cakes Benedict and it was excellent. There was more crab than filler, which is always a plus, and the cakes were crispy and firm. The crab was real and fresh. The smoky cheddar mashed potatoes side dish were very good as well. Companion's egg sandwich was fine, but nowhere near as good as mine. The warm biscuits, offered up before the food came out, were light and good, but neither of us braved the mystery gravy. There was no indication what was in it, meat? Mushrooms? Meh. Overall, I'd recommend this brunch, but it started to fill up as game time approached so go early unless you're going for the sports atmosphere. read more

I frequent Crows Nest tri-weekly on average and have been doing so for the past roundabout three years. The service has only improved (and hasn't ever been bad in my opinion), the drink menu has only grown and the food has only gotten better. This is why I enjoy Crows Nest; they offer way more than your typical bar grub. Sure, you can enjoy nachos, wings, mozzarella sticks and burgers, but you can also find fresh seafood (including oysters on the half shell and fried calamari), great sandwiches and wraps (all of which can be customized to order), darn good pasta dishes and fabulous salads. The salads and seafood and really what I have to rave about because (a) this is a bar and I normally wouldn't expect such food, (b) the prices are very affordable, (c) the servings are abundant and (d) the recipes they follow aren't your normal run-of-the-mill everyday-bar crap. Take the House Salad for instance. You won't find iceberg lettuce, carrots and croutons on this one. You'll enjoy leafy baby greens, dried cranberries, sliced granny smith apples, blue cheese crumbles and pecans. Let this not-so-basic 'house salad' set the bar for the other menu items that don't follow bar tradition. Great food, a two-for-one happy hour from 3-7pm Mon-Fri and friendly bartenders and servers keeps me coming back. Not my favorite bar in Nashville but definitely my favorite bar in Green Hills. read more

I came here for the first time in April during Stanley Cup. The second floor has several tv's surrounding the room and of course Stanley Cup was on every tv. I ordered a bleu cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and a beer. The cheeseburger wasn't bad. They had a good selection of beers. My total came to about $14 with tip. Parking may be hard to find in the front. There's additional parking across the street in front of the parking structure. read more

First experience was pretty good, traveling while the Covid-19 thing is start to relax a bit and places are beginning to open back up. Food was beyond phenomenal, we chose to order through Uber Eats and that was a little tricky, the site would not allow me too view their menu at first so we had to make a few calls back and forth, but about 2 hours later we did finally get some great food and not just ordinary bar food , but originality with a few twists for flavor packed sensation!! read more

There seems to have been some management decisions to bring back some of the old crew and old warm, friendly to the CN BRAVO! CN had been slipping into a forgettable Mcneighborhood bar and consequently I only went occasionally But I walked in recently and Alton and Dona and a lot of the crew that made me loyal to start with were there and their smiling faces and genuine warmth have already brought me back several times. I can even text Dona and ask tonight's menu and she ll hit me right back BRAVO CN!!!!! Nashville has plenty of places that either are or feel like another chain franchise So glad you turned away from that I might go over for a beer today read more
