Crow's Nest

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.

5 stars for a dive bah?  

The lure?  Why it was depicted in The Perfect Storm <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FThe_Perfect_Storm_%28film%29&s=594981af8c830436a19f6f4f3cab13fc8610fd2b64f32f81bbfd526e8b803ce5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/…</a> of course!

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.

A Definite Must for the price, and the convenience! NO MIN NIGHT STAY HERE! This Bar/Hotel is the perfect place for a reasonable stay in the heart of Gloucester!  They are extremely flexible with check in, as we stayed at the wedding until very late and checked in around 12:30am!  My boyfriend and I had a drink and met the nicest older couple I have ever met! We talked and laughed with this couple until close, and then walked right up to our room for a cozy and clean night stay! If you are hungry, make sure you grab some snacks from their vending machine before you go to your room! The room had everything we needed... Refrigerator,  TV, comfortable bed, pillows, and plenty of towels! They had AWESOME pressure in the shower, and great hot water! They also had plenty of shampoo! Place was very clean, and updated...its all you need for an affordable vacation or destination wedding!  Save your hard earned extra money to play at the beach or dining and stay where is it reasonable at the Crows Nest!
