The Stoned Crow
Your local on the North Shore. Delicious food, delicious drinks and a great atmosphere.Located in Crows Nest, The Stoned Crow is long established, but has undergone a renovation to make it a contemporary styled pub. Beer, wine and unique cocktails are offered along with pub food with international influences.
I'm going to have to say that my experience at this place was not all that fantastic. Okay, it is more a restaurant than a bar, but I stepped in here for a drink and to check it out. While I was okay with them not having middies, and the fact that they serve Pepsi as opposed to Coke (not that I drink much Coke, but I tend to drink much less Pepsi than Coke) was understandable, it is just that when I got my beer is was disgusting. There must have been something wrong with the batch because it tasted way too yeasty, it it wasn't a craft-beer either. Okay, it may have been a bit of bad luck on my part, but I seriously couldn't finish it off (maybe I should have told them, but then again I generally don't complain all that much, at least to the staff).
The cocktails here are delicious. The fairy floss cocktail was my favourite.
The staff was helpful too.
We had a group booking on a Friday night until 6 - but wanted to stay longer. So the staff member accommodated our request despite being felt out.
Pizzas were quite good too.
It was a great night!
Be sure to give this place a try if you have never been, or if you think it hasn't changed in the 25 or so years since it has been going( I can't recall the exact year, but I remember going here in the early 1990s), it's had a few reincarnations since then, so pop in and see for yourself, it used to be just a night time bar, and did not have a good reputation for food. That's all changed now, and the building has Windows opening into the street and some excellent food and drinks. I highly recommend any of the pizza, they never let you down. Friendly staff and fair prices, what's not to love ?
