A friend brought me here, our bartender Amy was awesome the food and drinks were delicious!
I can say nothing bad about Jonathan's nest. The food menu is full and the food is really good for a tucked away local spot. Plenty of tables and a large outside deck great for large groups in the summer time. Its a non smoking bar, which might be an issue to some. But you'll be glad when you walk in and the air is clean and easy to breathe. Drinks are some of the fairest prices I've seen, especially when you consider a pitcher of the same type of beer is $5 more at the nearest bar. Staff is professional and courteous. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.
Last time I was in here I was really impressed with this place. Great crowd and name change. What did not change is that Amy is still there and making the place great with her presence and skills.
Cleanest place in Hazleton to get a beer and our server Erika was awesome with recommendations and extra chips that we didn't ask for!
Been coming here during my weekly vacation for past 5yrs...Just recently met the son/owner and was very pleasant, welcoming and nice. Love the clam specials and the wings are great. Will be coming back
