Crow's Nest

Ann the barmaid and hotel manager was super. Everyone at the bar was friendly and having a good time. Friday night! The room was perfect. Everything you need and was CLEAN. And the harbor and boats are right across the street. What a view! See you next year!!

What 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.

Every bartender is amazing especially Janelle, Annie and Robert. Hed like to be called Ethel but i mean hey, he makes a good drink. Great prices.

Four of us walked in and sat at a table, no one greeted us said hello nothing, we were waiting for menus and or a waitress to approach us. We waited 15 minutes or so and still nothing. We were very dissatisfied and walked out, we walked a few blocks and found a place called Stones. We highly recommend Stones as the service and food were fabulous. I would not recommend Crows nest Grille and lodging as it is a dive hole in the wall…

Great local dive bar made famous by the movie Perfect Storm. The stuffed clams are great. When you go ask for the book.

We were going to go for a sandwich next door but it wasn't open yet and I'm so glad cuz we had the best time. Just a quick coffee espresso before our whale watch was just what was called for.

Had to stop in our trip. Owner was great, locals say nah lol! Lots of people in there. Bought t-shirts snd enjoyed a cold beer.

Great atmosphere. Walked in had a couple of beers and wonderful conversation. A must visit when in Gloucester.

Came here with a friend because he knew about the movie history. It's a good dive bar. The people are friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced. If you're looking for a place where the beautiful people go, this isn't it.

For me, this was a dive bar. Sure, it's the bar from "The Perfect Storm" and it was cool to get here but it's a dive bar. I landed here during some sort of celebration and since I'm not involved with whatever that was, I enjoyed my cold beer and headed onwards. The bar has photos and tributes to the locals who lost their lives at sea. If you're a fan of the movie, this is a must see. [Review 18592 overall - 1174 in Massachusetts - 2114 of 2022.]

Service next to none, unless there was none. No greeting, no service, not even a furtive glance to acknowledge that you were a human being Walked out, bar tender missed a $10 tip. This place must BYOB....

stark dank soulless i love dive bars but this has zero character i don't view smoke stink as charm but the locals do the service was meh the patrons were just blah parking isn't that bad but the bar just is not interesting

The bar in the Perfect Storm. Similar but not the same. The magic of movie making. We just stopped in for drinks,

I called to ask a question about lodging. I was on the phone for maybe 5 seconds before the lady said "oh my god, speed it up I'm busy!" Then proceeded to hang up on me. So not the best impression of this establishment

Great atmosphere. Love how it seems to keep the local vibe while welcoming tourists. Had a wonderful afternoon learning about the history. Must check out the Memory / Photo album that they share with the patron.

Came here because this is the bar of the move "Perfect Storm". Very interesting to see people drinking at noon. lol. It is Boston though. Just came inside to see the cast members photos on the walls along with the people who lost there lives at sea. Highly recommended

Please don't take the 5 stars as scripture... Place is a fun welcoming bar in a small Fishing town that simply makes you feel good!! Beers cold, bartenders are super and the food (yes the food) is surprisingly good.. no steak and clam Chowda !! but simply tasty food, cold beer and a wholesome time..

Famous for movie buffs . Stop by and see the great photo albums . There are many locals inside , they don't bite , they are actually extremely pleasant . Typical bar atmosphere with nice cold beer . I recommend trying the stuffed clams , they are very flavorful and full of real clam pieces .

Great establishment. Wonderful mix of locals and tourist visiting due to the film, The Perfect Storm. The bar pays tribute to the locals that have been lost at sea with pictures on the wall. Atmosphere is great.

We had a great time at The Crow's nest. Great fun with locals at the bar, Keno. Had a reservation for a nights stay. Bar tab and room included in one tab. : ) Def will be back.

Best bar in Gloucester. The truest of Gloucester drinking establishment. And last of the Mohicans from the fishing days. Cold beers. Chilled glass if you'd like. Cold drinks. Decent fair prices. Buy chips for your friends and new friends. Because if you spend any time here you'll get a chip or two. Thank you Crow's Nest for keeping it reel like a reel bar should be. Thank you for the welcome, hospitality, and friendship.

We've been staying here for our yearly trip for the past couple of years. I have no complaint about the rooms. But our past experience at the bar has made it that we will never stay again. Annemarie, the owner, was the sweetest so I have nothing bad to say about her. Which made me hesitant to review. But there is an older bartender, short blond hair, possibly named Ann that is horrible. I've never witnessed anybody with such lousy people skills in my life. She's rude, and combative for no reason other than she's miserable. The other bartenders are nice, especially Bob. Next time we come to the area I'll stay somewhere else, and go to Pratty's down the street. They were fun, friendly, and there's plenty of off street parking

Very historic and local. I thought I would be a tourist trap. It wasn't. Very friendly staff and patrons. Bartenders had fun personalities. Made an incredible bloody Mary. Knew all about the towns history. If your looking for fancy this isn't it. If your looking for authentic this is it. Will go back for hours if I ever get the chance.

great bar!!! service is personable & friendly and the ambiance is cozy and has a great location. would recommend.

What can be said about the Crow's Nest? After working in Gloucester for a couple of years, I was curious about this spot after hearing so much about it. It's a local spot known for a certain clientele. It's a dive bar, otherwise I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't find a whole lot to get excited about, just a mellow run-down place that carries it's own charm. It's obvious that this place has been around for a long time.

Tharr she blows! It's the Crow's Nest of Gloucester!!! The Crow's Nest was depicted in motion picture "The Perfect Storm" filmed in Gloucester. The real Crow's Nest is located along Main Street and the Inner Harbor. Several celebrities have visited the Crow's Nest including Mark Wahlberg, George Clooney, Diane Lane, and Steven Spielberg. The bar atmosphere is dark and loud with all of the amenities of a good local dive bar including bar stool seating, framed pictures on the wall, internet jukebox, pinball machine, pool table, and Keno, which is frequented by locals and sailors alike-aaarrrrgh!! They serve lunch too! Besides the bar, the Crow's Nest offers some of the most reasonably priced lodging in Gloucester. My 2 buddies and I stayed here recently for only a mere $75.00 for one night, that's less than $30 per person in a very touristy area. The hotel staff even provided us with an extra cot, in addition to the two double beds. We checked into our "fine hotel" from inside the bar. There's no onsite parking, so we had to hunt for a parking space on the street. We entered the hotel through the rear of the building via a dark unlit alley. Did I say this place was a fine hotel?? What I really meant to say is that the Crow's Nest is a damn fine hotel!! - but only if you're wearing special beer goggles provided in the bar. Our sh*tastic room was above the bar and overlooked Main Street and the foggy harbor with many docked ships and boats. The "sketchy" room was crammed with 2 beds and a cot with sheets, 20" TV with cable, bathroom with tub/shower, extra towels, little soaps, and a couple of lights. The trim was very worn out and the room also had a drop ceiling with tiles. There was no A/C in the room, so the windows were open with the aroma "stench" of the sea breeze which filled the room. My buddies stretched out on the beds chilling out before our "pub crawl" and began wondering if there was any "pirate's treasure" hidden up in the drop ceiling since the ceiling air vent was bent and not working. They decided to take some peeks in the ceiling. Let's just say they found some very interesting "surprises" leftover from some of the previous guests and leave it at that! After our "pub crawl" through G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S Gloucester, we turned in for the night at our "far from first class" room. I decided to rest on top of the bed with my own bedsheet, which I brought with me. I wasn't taking any chances here! Since I was the DD (had minimal drinks) and sober, I did not get any sleep because I was a bit creeped out by the room and it was next to the very busy Main Street with large loud trucks passing by all night. My buddies were wearing those special beer goggles and were so wasted from a long night of drinking that they didn't give a "flying flip" and crashed under the filthy covers and bedsheets and passed out very quickly. Ewwww!! Just picture a double vision of Homer Simpson (Mmmmm, beer..drool) and Barney Gumbel (Belchh!!) passed out. They slept right through all the loud outside commotion. In the morning, I looked outside the window and there were flocks of seagulls were flying around, making lots of noise, and making the harbor and cityscape look even more beautiful than ever, and where are the crows? This place could be nicknamed the Seagull's Nest. We left the keys in the bar, got some coffee at the Lone Gull, and got the heck out of Dodge in the Ford! Would we return to the Crow's Nest? Definitely! The bar has a lot of character, but skip the hotel unless you are really, really desperate or you're Drunky McDrunkerson! My buddy's pickup truck is a nicer place to get some sleep. I'm being serious. All I can say is this adventure to the Crow's Nest was an unforgettable experience! Bar: 3.5 STARS (typical dive bar with Keno) Hotel: 2 STARS (very basic place to crash drunk, extra towels and soap) Location: 2.5 STARS (close to downtown, lack of onsite parking) Value: 4 STARS (priced right in a touristy area) OVERALL RATING: 3 STARS

My girlfriend and I had to stop in after we coincidentally found out we were staying in the town the Perfect Storm was filmed at. There's no better way to experience the character of an area then visiting a hole-in-the-wall local bar. We had some beers, chatted with Norma (a friendly local who gave us her tour of the place and told us about the history and the stories of the fishermen who lost their lives at sea, laughed at one-liners and sarcastic jokes thrown around from local to local. It's exactly what we expected - and we had a great time. That being said, I think the negative reviews left here were from people expecting a lounge or craft beer bar... understand you're in a local bar that's been there for 40 plus years and didn't care to change a thing about the place.. in my opinion, those are the best kind of bars and experiences. They serve cold beer, and it's filled with character and history.. I don't mind if the bartender doesn't flash me a smile. Definitely worth a visit - just understand it for what it is.

We were on vacation August 2019 (yes a tad late on this review) in Rockport and Gloucester and had to stop for a visit at the Crow's nest in Gloucester with Perfect Storm being one of our all time favorite movies! It really is the friendliest bar in town! Yes lots of tourists still check out the place because of the movie but everyone in the place was so nice! And Mary Anne was working that afternoon. She was so nice and they had so many great photos on the wall and they had a photo album of all the cast and real people of the movie. So glad we stopped by. Can't wait to go again this year once Covid 19 shutdown is over. We had a great photo out front with MaryAnne and the rest of us that were there that day. RIP Andrea crew.

Zero stars. The worst bar I've ever been to. The bartender was awful, decided to call the cops on me and my friend after I had only TWO glasses of wine all night as the designated driver, because my friend had a couple drinks earlier. The bartender was apparently friends with the police who told me to give my keys to either her or the cops, or be arrested. I decided to give my keys to the awful bartender who clearly had friends in the corrupted police department of Gloucester and was given a disgusting room. Then had to miss work because I was told I wouldn't get my keys until 9AM because she decided to call the cops for no reason. Walked back in the bar a half hour later in order to be able to get my charger out of my car, only to hear her talking shit to every customer in the bar about me and for her to give my car keys to a RANDOM stranger that held my keys hostage. Literally the worst experience at a bar I have had by far. Don't bother.

5 stars for a dive bah? The lure? Why it was depicted in The Perfect Storm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Perfect_Storm_(film) of course! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/crows-nest-gloucester?select=le4vWQdJFCluVc9OGa6wpw#L0rdkorwug1XqbWD9T84Iw This bah has character! We loved the movie and the book and since we both fish, hubby set out to have just one drink at this local bah. This is where you find the local fishermen. Not always the nicest folks when they've been drinkin'. So we stopped in at 9:30 am in the mohnin'. Spoke with the bahtendah and he told us a few stories about the filming of The Perfect Storm and the chaos it brought to the sleepy town and bah. Looking for a bargain? You can visit them for Tipsy Tuesday http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/crows-nest-gloucester?select=le4vWQdJFCluVc9OGa6wpw#QQ1oxO_ZRllWk-Mbq22SyQ! They have pool table http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/crows-nest-gloucester?select=le4vWQdJFCluVc9OGa6wpw#y-JFYd3wEwbnHerVITNFcQ internet juke box, pinball table, tables, chairs and barstools http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/crows-nest-gloucester?select=le4vWQdJFCluVc9OGa6wpw#QQ1oxO_ZRllWk-Mbq22SyQ everything you need for a bah.

Ambiance - 5 Stars - Can't get any more dive bah with the decorations and furniture. Service - 5 Stars - Spoke to the bahtendah foh quite some time and was drawn into the daily lives of the locals. Beer - 5 Stars - Beer is beer... Pahking - 1 Star - Street pahking and it can get difficult to find one!

This place did not disappoint. If you're not from here and want the New England experience this is it. The bar tender was accommodating and super nice.

"The Perfect Storm" is one of my favorite movies. I mean, George Clooney & Mark Wahlberg, what more does a girl need? Seriously though, it's a fantastic tale of brave men who lost their lives at sea on the "Andrea Gail", a swordfish boat. For fans of the film you already know that this true story which was made into a book by Sebastian Junger takes places Gloucester, Massachusetts. Gloucester is the country's oldest seaport and has some undeniable deep roots and proud residents. Fans of the book or movie will also recognize the semi-edgy " Crow's Nest" which was depicted in the movie right in the heart of this New England town. Ever since I heard this was an actual place I have always wanted to visit. I've heard all sort of mixed reviews. "Seedy" was a word often used. I was told stories of how the rooms upstairs used to be rented out by the hour, if you know what I mean. Now they rent their newly updated rooms at a steal. I must admit at first I was a little hesitant for a visit and then I thought, I'm a Philly chick. I'm pretty sure I've seen it all. How bad could it be?" It wasn't at all. Maybe because it was a Sunday afternoon or because it just may be a tad different than some are used to. You want a beer and to shoot the shit? Come here. No frills. For me personally, it had a deeper meaning... We were welcomed warmly by everyone...the women chatting outside on the bench on Main Street, the bartender, the locals, the man from NYC who was also just a fan of the story behind the space, the elderly man who gave my girls a bag of snacks and even the owner who I thought looked familiar. As we pulled up and parked right out front without hassle, I was actually a tad shocked to see the building on a street rather than on the dock which is where is was located in the film. Once inside, a woman who was certainly "a regular" later explained to me that the set crew built a Crow's Nest just across the street from actual bar. That they didn't want to interior business. Wow. Upon entering the "dive bar" complete with a pool table and Sunday football on the tv, I was immediately handed a photo album of celebrities and behind the scene movie photos. Was it that obvious I wasn't a local? I ordered a tasty,cold Fisherman draft brew for $3 and would've ordered some bar food if hadn't just eaten. I sat and took it all in as I sipped my light ale. As I looked over all of the memorabilia and the photos of the cast, the entire story just came to life before my eyes. It was surprisingly pretty powerful, more so than I anticipated. It is still such a sad story and you can just tell how heart-breaking it was to this community. They're very close knit. They proudly showed me around, pointing to different photos and explaining who everyone was in their thick, New England accents which I'm such a sucker for. I asked a few questions but could've sat and chatted for hours. I knew they had some real stories to tell. It says a lot that the cast got so close to these people, like they wanted to honor them. I happened to notice the bulletin board hanging in the corner. It had everyone's name and birthdays on it. It really gave you a sense of what kind of community this is. It was touching. They were funny and joked about me coming back and bringing hubs...we would come down and drink, go upstairs, then come back down, drink more and return to our room again. The scene in the movie with the ceiling shaking may just have been true :) They may have been a tad rough around the edges to most, but they had personality and were nothing but very kind to us. The intriguing woman who was chatting with my girls was Maryanne. Her mom owns the place and her brother Bobby, who she actually lost was portrayed by Mark Wahlberg in the film. The role Diane Lane played was a women Maryanne introduced to her brother, who at the time he went out to sea, was engaged to marry. Maryanne had told my girls, one who is in 2nd grade that she was a 2nd grade teacher herself. She was rather beautiful. Thin, sandy blonde hair, dressed for the season in boots and a killer leather jacket. I even asked her where she bought it and was shocked to hear "Nordstrom's Rack". I didn't mean to sound so bewildered but I just didn't think people that frequent this of joint would shop there. Shame on me for judging. You know what they say about ASSuming. Maryanne chatted with us for a good while. She said "I better go before I start drinking mimosas". She joked about the photo of her and her "boyfriend" as she pointed to Mark Wahlberg. I told her we would have to fight over him. Her response? "Well, YOU don't have a picture with him". Touché Maryanne, Touché. She also told us to visit the Gloucester Men Memorial down the street which we did afterwards. I had no idea just many men this town had lost. We came home and rewatched the film, recognizing so much more. It all had such a deeper meaning after our visit and I'm very grateful to have met these proud people.

Was on vacation, had to stop in and have a drink. Everyone was really nice and welcoming and had the best Bloody Mary.

Crows Nest is an awesome bar. We went there on a Friday afternoon and were greeted by the 2 bartenders, one being the owner. Our experience was great until the Friday night bartender came on. Not sure of her name but she kicked us out and was just overall a miserable awful older woman. Ruined our trip but the bar was great. Wish I could have purchased a shirt.

We visited with friends at my insistence as I had to see it. The bar tender was wonderful and showed us the photo album. We enjoyed wine and beer and I looked at every picture in the place and paid my respects to the men who died on the Andrea Gail. The other customers were great too. We had a great time! I bought a t-shirt too. Great and friendly bar. Enjoyed every minute.

Somewhat iconic place considering the 'Perfect Storm' movie setting reference. It's a cool little place to get a stiff drink and play some pool or bet some money on keno. They also apparently have rooms for rent as well. A dive bar for sure but certainly nicer than some of the other local dives.

My gf and I were passing through, we met a local gentleman/retired fisherman who lives upstairs from the bar. Think his name may have been Mo, and he made the experience worth while! The place is about what you would expect for a dive bar but it's the nice, welcoming locals that make it a joy to be there. TouchTunes jukebox also nice to be able to play some good jams.

We stopped in for a quick beer because of the movie. The bartender was friendly and welcoming along with the other patrons. Great local bar. One beer turned into a few.

Hands down the filthiest, most unfriendly establishment in which I have ever set foot. My wife and I just popped in thinking we would have a beer or two before heading further into town for dinner. Three people were smoking inside. Isn't that illegal in MA? I like a good dive bar as much as the next guy. I'll give a good dive a decent rating but when it smells bad in a place and people look at me strangely, that can ruin everything for me. Call me crazy. To be clear, I have no clue what the rooms look like, or what the staff is like because we didn't stay long enough to find out., so when I say we felt unwelcome it wasn't because of the staff, it was because of the clientele. All but two or three bar stools were taken and it felt like nearly everyone sensed our presence, stopped their conversations and casually looked at us trying to look like they weren't. It was seriously like a John Carpenter movie where everyone in the bar was part of some kind of collective and we needed to become the next members or die. We weren't particularly touristy or anything, my wife had a Red Sox shirt and I had an All Star Game shirt, as we're both baseball fans but it's not like we walked in with Gucci clothing, shopping bags from the mall and a Chihuahua in tow. Long story short we were in for about one whole minute, tops, before the creepy stares from most of the people at the bar made clear we were not locals, which made us feel very unwelcome. As for parking, forget it. There is only street parking and no parking lot. There are many choices for drinks in Gloucester. It's a shame the owners of this establishment haven't cleaned it up, promoted the movie tie-in and made a mint from it like the Cheers franchise, but I guess it's fitting that they lose business for their decision to remain authentic, dirty, unwelcoming or whatever it is they are trying to accomplish. I would steer clear of the Crow's Nest and head to Jalapeño's or Dog Bar for drinks. If you don't mind cigarette smoke, being stared at or the feeling that someone's about to conduct a drug deal, the Crow's Nest may be perfect for you. How on earth anyone could give this place five stars is beyond comprehension. That only serves to drag down the usefulness of the rating system on Yelp. Seriously, if you rated this place a 5-star establishment on par with the Ritz Carlton? Nothing personal but you are probably smoking the crack that people are dealing in the back rooms of this place.

Ian Dubbs gave a pretty comprehensive review but got the rating all wrong and missed the mark, at least slightly, in describing the bar's atmosphere and, moreover, the general human worth of the local color one will find therein. Let this review serve, primarily, as a caution to tourists who read The Perfect Storm (or saw the major motion picture): The Crow's Nest is a glorified crack den. Prior to its fortunate turn in the aforementioned media, it wasn't even glorified. Just a crack den. Plenty of remnants remain as hardy seamen -- fewer, in proportion with the drastically reduced fishing fleet -- still come here between tours to get wasted and get their rocks off. First, a brief lesson in Gloucester geography. In the film, the Crow's Nest was depicted as being, essentially, attached to the dock (the producers utilized the Heritage Center's berths). In fact, the Crow's Nest is located on the side of Main Street opposite the water and further east, more or less across from the new cruise terminal. Point being, it's beyond the eastern terminus of places-worth-seeing on Main (and Rogers) Street. As a hotel, the Crow's Nest is a total nightmare. Horrific beyond humor. Ian's review does a fine job of detailing the 'accommodations'. Do not stay here. If you do, make sure you're up-to-date on all your vaccinations. Calling the bar a total dive is, without a doubt, complimentary. The only acceptable excuse for having at drink at the Crow's Nest is to serve as an anecdotal stop on a Gloucester pub crawl. Have I mentioned how perfect G-Town is far crawling? It truly is. I digress. It can serve as the 'lowest of lows' when you're telling your pals about all the different bars you got shit-faced in 'that night'. Otherwise, avoid.

Not a whole lot to say about this place. It is a perfect bar. Got booze, got beer, got people to talk to. No frills. For serious drinking this is the place to go. Incredibly friendly. They hosted a bunch of stranded navy sailors. Good Americans.

took a trip up from phila to see the area. the movie really sparked an interest. We weren't sure how the locals would be with sightseers interested in a tragic event. The bartenders and patrons could not have been nicer. They told us about the crew, showed us pictures and had us sign a guest book. couldn't have had a better time. never made it back to our hotel. wound up getting a room there and are looking foreword to going back again soon. A special thanks to "Sal" for showing us around town

Exactly what I expected. I think if people go into a location expecting a luxury hotel above a bar for $75/night they are crazy. Great location to going whale watching at Cape Ann Whale Watch (that was great too btw). We stayed 2 nights, everything worked fine, room overlooks the harbor area, I honestly never noticed the bar below us. Door's locked fine, bathroom was spotless, included a fridge and microwave that I don't get in some $200/night hotels. Faint state smoke smell when entering the back door, but it didn't bother me or my wife. We didn't grab a drink at the bar, but I didn't feel unsafe or anything. I would, and will likely stay there again. Cheers!

Don't look for frills BUT ITS JUST GOOD FUN AND NICE PEOPLE! This place was a blast! It's the real place the bar in the movie is modeled after. Owned by Bobby's family from The Perfect Storm. Mainly a locals joint and they made you feel right at home! A must go to if in Gloucester!

Every one there is very friendly especially considering that people only visit there for a sad reason. Bobby's sister was very nice. They are very polite to tourist. I just hope that everyone remembers the pain this town still feels when they come here. Thanks to them for being so inviting...

My ex husband and I visited this bar on our 2005 trip to Gloucester. We were in the bar 15 minutes and we're never even waited on. Even when I went right up to the bar to order a drink, I was completely ignored. I figured it was all the hype the town got from the movie but I know I won't be returning.

Love the Crow's Nest. Friendly bartenders, good people. Drinks are inexpensive and well concocted. Old-style feel but clean and well managed.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds and a good price. The bar is awesome, stiff drinks at a really good price. The people are friendly and will tell you all about the bar and the 'movie'. I would say if you skip the Crows Nest you are missing out!

Excellent low-key bar. Plenty of conversation to be had. We were hungry and the bartender recommended a nearby spot, so we got food and brought it back. A good place to order a beer and a shot at noon on a Monday.

Hey Rune and Melissa, you came all the way from Bah-stin and didn't eat or come into the Crow's Nest? George Clooney, Diane Lane, Speilberg, and Sebastian Unger all did - not good enough for you two? Maybe you'd like the Jasper White's "Summer Shack" in Cambridge or Foxwoods better - fake bouys, plastic lobsta pots, and some seagulls screwed to walls? People do eat, drink, and stay overnight at the Crow's Nest and survive the experience. The fish and lobster is fresh off the boat, and the beer is cold and cheap, and you can get a good burger any way you like it. So if you're looking for an $18 shrimp cocktail, stay in Beantown and drop a hundred bucks at Legal's. If you want to eat in Gloucester where the real people eat (as well as Clooney, Lane, Speilberg, and Junger), stop in and have a beer and some steamas at the Crows Net. We told 'em Ethel - RIP.

Stayed here for one night for a friend's wedding-- it was the only place open, and for the price (only $75 a night for high season) it deserves 4/5 stars. While the rooms were spartan, they were clean and comfortable enough. The staff was flexible with check in/check out time which was really helpful. The owner of the Bar/Hotel is the sister of the man who owns the Fort Square Cafe and family of some of the guys who perished in what became known as The Perfect Storm. They have great stories and are really pleasant people. Not the nicest hotel in the area, but for the cost, it was definitely worth 4 stars.

What can I say, It's a fisherman's bar, notably famous for its role in the major motion picture, "The Perfect Storm." I have always had a pleasant experience here, being someone who worked in the fishing industry, this type of setting is typically where long trips out to sea would start and end for crew. You don't need "drop your R's" or know how to tie a bowline one handed to get into this bahhhhhh...just sit down, shut up and order a beer, greenhorn.

This place was a great dive bar! Felt homey and all the regulars were very nice. Inexpensive good drinks and I bought a sweatshirt also.

The true Glosta experience: seedy bar, suspicious locals, indoor smoking, what more could you ask for?

I first went to theCrow's Nest in July 1999 prior to the movie coming out(The Perfect Storm) with my three kids. It was the weekend JFK Jr. crashed his plane south of the Cape. We met Mark Wahlberg and played pool with him at around 10 in the morning one day. he was drinking Budweiser and great with the kids. My oldest daughter was 14 at the time and got some pictures taken with Mark. I met Sebastian Jungier at the CN bar one night and he was cool. We stayed at the rooms for like $30.00 per night and they seemed fine. We always go on a Cape Ann whale watch when we are in Gloucester and have always had a nice time with seeing alot of whales. The chowder at the Crow's Nest was good and the owner at the time was great. Interesting experience and Rockport is a cool place also:)

My husband and I make this an annual trip. We love the Crow's Nest. Haven't been in a couple years, so we are overdue and plan to go very soon. Our first time (2009) was an incredible experience. Why? We'll after sitting there for not even a half hour I hit $100 in Keno, THEN later on the Deadliest Catch guys came in. Captain John from the Time Bandit and Josh, Capt. Phil's son. We got to meet them and actually Josh said next to my hubby and chatted. I was star struck, very nice down to earth guys!! Met a bunch of the locals and blended right in. Delany's pizza, which is right next store has killer pizza, the best. And the Crow's let's you order it and bring it to eat back at the bar, that was cool. We hit other places in our stay you know the waterfront tourist traps with high prices. Well didn't enjoy that as much as the Crow's Nest, believe me. If I remember correctly, You CANNOT play pool for a couple hours in the late afternoon because there are some older local gentlemen that play everyday and the table is there's for their nightly tournament, they are quite good too. I was fine with that and actually shot the breeze with one of them who actually remembered me a year later. Even played a game with him when they were done. WE stayed one night, and yes it's not the Ritz, but believe me for the price you can't beat it and to my surprise, was VERY clean. Like others have said, the place certainly has Character! If you are a people person you will enjoy yourself, if you are a snob just drive by.
