Cool little pub. Staff was awesome, friendly and engaging. Food was surprisingly good, prices were reasonable, and didn't have to wait an hour to eat. It's kind of small inside, so it gets crowded pretty quick, but it wasn't a bad or rude kind of crowded. Good vibes. Will definitely be back again!

We stopped in for a few beers and really liked it. Ended up staying way longer than we meant to, had some friends meet up with us, it was really fun. Will definitely be back. Great bar!

Great little spot in my hometown!! Cozy Irish pub with live music ?...perfect cozy place to hang out!!
Outstanding. I was with a group visiting Bristol for the first time today (1.15.24) and arbitrarily decided on The Nest for a lunch. A nice quaint warm spot very close to Ireland and that includes Irish fare served by an Irish owner. The entire party was quite satisfied with the fare and the fair prices. An Irish band will be there March 3. If I like it, you'll like it!

Great little Irish bar with a terrific selection of beers.. We were warmly welcomed on a cold day. We each got soup with warm rolls for only $5 each. I got a delicious kale soup with cerizo sausage and my wife loved her clam chowder. We would love to return when they have entertainment.

A nice cozy nook with great food, service and entertainment. While drinking a delicious Guinness and eating a hardy corned beef and cabbage on rye sandwich, we were entertained by a two man traditional Irish folk band called The Shenanigans. I felt like I was Ireland.
A not-so-hidden gem of Bristol. Atmosphere is relaxing, comfortable, yet engaging. Staff and service were genuinely friendly, appreciated, and more than accommodating; Impressive really. Irish food selection/innovation was a treat to try out and the quality exceeded our expectations. The only reason its not a perfect score is because of the wings. Wings tend to be my consistent critique at places like this. Flavor was good but they were just mushy. We missed the crunch form satisfying deep fried chicken. But don't get me wrong, we will be aback... multiple times.

Best corned beef I’ve ever had! It was a special (not on regular menu), but all other food has been amazing! Best hot toddy, too. Great service and atmosphere!

Geezer Central. Lots of old people hang here. Not for the young. The owners range from 60 to 90. Joe Biden would hang here is he could find the place. Small kitchen manages to get some decent food out. One bathroom and a lot of kitschy Irish trinkets. If they cared they would have shamrocks not four leaf clovers everywhere. Rookie mistake. Shows lack of tradition. The manager will try to sell you anything you will buy. The WORST session players I have ever had the misfortune to hear. Hoping it will bring in business it’s a band of randoms who play what they want when they want. No rhyme or reason. Old people telling the young bartenders to turn down the loud music.

Great Irish pup. It has a small menu, but it is excellent. They had a Tuesday night special of corned beef and cabbage. It was the BEST I have had anywhere, including home!
