We are staying at the Pier house 60 hotel and Jimmy's crows nest is a nice bar. They do have a very limited menu, but the items on it are very good. We thought the chicken quesadillas were very good.
It's a small bar but its nice to not have to go anywhere but in an elevator to get good drinks and some food
I live local (Largo) and like to check out all the new beach places. Went here when it first opened, and liked the view. Drink prices were ok, food was limited. After going there a few times with friends, they wanted $20 to park in their mostly empty garage and or outdoor parking. I tried to explain I wanted to go up to the bar for a few drinks, but there was no talking to the "in charge" parking guy. Bottom line, won't go back. There are many other good choices with free parking, Frenchies, Palm Pavillion and Crabby Bills to name a few. All of these have better food and drink prices. Sent an email to the company but never heard back from them, not surprised. Just another overpriced  tourist joint with a view in my opinion.
Review Source:This place is pretty cool. If you are looking for a killer view of the beach/ocean and a cold drink, look no further. Â We did not stay for sunset, but I think we would check it out if we did not have a high room with a great ocean view. Â
We went when we were pretty hungry and craving something like a burger. Come to find out, they only have a very limited bar menu. We got drinks and hummus and pita chips, which took the edge off. But we left in search for a more substantial meal. The drinks were very good, however, and I could definitely see going back. If only they had a little grill up there!
Jimmy's Crows Nest was a bit hard to find- it's on the tenth floor of a hotel right across from the water in Clearwater, FL (across from Pier 60). Â But don't let that dissuade you from coming here. Â This is a must-visit for a sunset cocktail when you are in town. Â
My husband, sister-in-law, her boyfriend, and I checked it out while down here for Phillies Spring Training. Â Unfortunately, we were there on the chilliest day of our trip, so we guzzled down our drinks and hurried inside to get warm. Â But the sunset from that vantage point was amazing! Â Drinks were a bit pricey for the area ($7 for mixed drinks, $5 beers) but it's worth it for a drink or two. Â I'd suggest getting there early to get one of the tables facing the water.
Jimmy's loses a star due to the odd layout of the bar. Â The bar area is in an enclosed space right in the middle of the patio. Â I wonder why the designers of this spot didn't put the bar in the BACK of the patio, allowing for more of the sunset/water to be viewed by patrons. Â
But regardless, this is a great spot to enjoy a beverage, get some nice pictures, and enjoy the views.
View-great. Atmosphere-nice (aside from the creepy old man who asked for our room number. DO NOT talk to anyone who goes by the name of "Jimmy from Georgia"). Live music-cool. I have to downgrade because the bartender was unwarrantably rude. I was strapped for cash so I ordered a PBR, but I generally tip well over the standard 20% because I've worked in service and I know it sucks. I was with two girlfriends and they ordered your usual fruity girly drinks. We went to the bathroom for about 5 minutes, taking our drinks with us (God knows Jimmy from Georgia could be right around the corner with some GHB). By the time we came back, a group had taken our seats at the bar, so we sat at a nearby table. My friend went to get her tab. I don't know if the bartender was mad because he thought we left during the 5 minutes we were in the bathroom, but he slammed down my tab in front of my friend and rudely said: "This is for YOUR friend." Really? I hadn't even finished my first drink, and I definitely didn't want to order another when we were spoken to in that manner. Oh wah, women have to urinate too. No need to be upset because you thought I walked out, when clearly we chose to sit right in front of your face again post-pee. Or is it just the fact that he couldn't see my sassy, sunburned-to-a-crisp forehead as clearly in the darkness of the open seating area as opposed to the bright lights of the bar? I know my tomato-y freshness excites you, but don't get jealous when I can't sit quite as close ;)
