Ding, ding, ding! That’s the donation bell ringing again! Tori Barth, who, along with her husband Dick joined us on the 36th night of this tour, sent in a donation for 50 bucks! Here’s the message she sent with it: “Enjoy your bar tour! This is for when you don’t have a ride from your friends!”

Thanks so much Tori, I really appreciate your generosity and hope you and Dick can join me again soon for another stop on the tour!

Okay, I have to admit, I’m kind of beat tonight and just feel like going to a laid back neighborhood bar and taking it easy. Then I thought about the Crow’s Next and that seemed to be the perfect destination for this evening, and so it’s off we go!

Bar Number 34: Crow’s Nest, Tuesday, March 3, 2026

Here we are at the Crow’s Next on Lake Avenue, let’s go and see what’s happening inside!

They have a nice looking bar in here, let’s snag a seat and get settled in for the evening.

Kirsten, was the pretty and friendly bartender on duty and Joe, who’s a regular here, stepped up and helped to serve me an ice-cold can of Pabst beer! We’re off to a wonderful start in here!

Here’s a shot of the bar from the far end of it.

As you can see, this is a well-stocked bar and there’s the trio of beers on tap. And please…Beware of Crow!

I love the lit-up Crow’s Next sign on the wall and there’s a gaming room if you’re feeling lucky. Well, do ya, punk?

They have two pool tables in here and there’s a pool league playing in here tonight.

Kirsten said dart leagues also play in here and mek good use of these two state-of-the-art darboards in the back over here. I’m not bullshooting you either!

There’s a couple tables in the corner over here and there’s the daily drink specials on the wall.

They have a nice and cozy beer garden out here, but it’s a little chilly for that tonight, I’m going to go back in and enjoy my relaxing evening at the Crow’s Nest. This is a freindly and fun neighborhood tavern!
