What an amazing experience to play the Birds Nest, really friendly people, great staff, a real stronghold in music and pub culture
What a fantastic venue! . Great people all so friendly and welcoming. Engineer was an absolute star. This is one of those genuine old school rock venues you know when you walk in its going to be great.
Top place 5 starz for sure.
They do a tasty vegan roast!! Totally stoked about that. That aside it is an awesome pub. Different mix of people, cool vibes and great music. Would highly recommend �
The best, weirdest, most unpredictable, unpretentious, pirate pub, perfect pub people, you can ever wish for! ...a real diamond in the rough!
The Nest has been my go to pub for at least the last six years, and it never fails to deliver. An awesome selection of live music, on a good few nights of the week. Good ales and ciders. Reasonably priced good food, cooked with pride. A fun and attentive staff, that provide the food and drink that we crave. And a varied, and interesting crowd of regulars, all of which leads to a great atmosphere any day of the week, that keeps me coming back time and again.
So if you've not been, and you're reading this. Come and say hi. You'll not regret it!
The Birds Nest is without doubt one of the best pubs in London, great music, great food and beer selection, super friendly boozer with good staff and a nice crowd. Discovered this place a few years ago on a lost weekend in Deptford, returned yesterday after far too long a break... definitely coming back again sooner now I work close by. Lovely!
Simply the best. Best food. Best beers. Best people. Lots of dogs.
Richard is the best. He is meticulous, a craftsman with an engineer's sensibility. If it can be improved, he will see it and make it better. Richard has done (and continues to do) a lot of work for me and I'd struggle to trust many others it.
One of the best. When fox and 12 bar closed down this pub had it all and more. Great bands. Art gallery which ive also had my exhibition in as well as performed in with Red Poets. Love their food! People are friendly and bar staff are cool and really well mannered. I heard its under threat from property developers so support this pub!
Most free thinking, and musicly oriented pub in the land. Always something interesting going on, with a great selection of tipple, and a tasty as hell menu, to rival any fine dining establishment. Crowd is welcoming fun, and super friendly
Lovely Sunday roast dinners!!!!....Good size plate of food,..veg not over done,..potatoes nice and crispy yet fluffy on inside (just how I like em!!!),..no skimping on the meat portions either!!!,( noted they offer a vegetarian and vegan alternative for those non meat eaters)..yorkshire pudding just right...not too much,yet not too little gravy...very good price and service!!!...So enjoyed the 70's retro background music whilst waiting for my food,..then live blues n jazz band whilst I was eating. All in all a Sunday Roast with a difference,good food,good music,great atmosphere,..a totally enjoyable experience. Thank you. Much P&L.xx.
Independently owned pub with an independent and entertaining crowd. It's had its ups-and-downs whilst still managing to attract a loyal following but the new owner, who has been involved for some years now, has taken it in to something of a renaissance without forgetting what makes it tick. Good and enthusiastic bar staff too. Regular live music, based on a long tradition, for all sorts of tastes -some you'll love and some you'll hate - and lots of other stuff going on. Also very good food, freshly prepared and served in generous portions. A chain of Birds Nests across the country would revolutionise the pub trade but that would risk watering it down!
I want to move in
Had a great night, friendly staff and punters - one of the best gigs I've ever played
Excellent venue and pub, free bands, excellent choice of real ales, good food,vegetarians catered for, friendly staff, good atmosphere, what's not to like
Brilliant pub with great gigs. Centre of Deptford life.
Best live music boozer in the area, great beer and food and fantastic staff. Look out for Lamo playing live ;) you will often find me in there, so come and have a pint!
A Classic Venue with fabulous live acts + well eclectic :-)
Cracking proper pub Doom Bar and Bombardier £3 quid a pint on happy hour.
