"I can't say enough good things about Honkers Pub & Nest events! We recently hosted a surprise birthday party for my husband in the Nest, and it was absolutely perfect. The space comfortably accommodated over 60 guests, and everyone had an amazing time.
The staff went above and beyond to make the event seamless. They were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and accommodating, even allowing me to come in early to set up. Their support and professionalism made the whole process stress-free, and so many of our guests complimented the venue and the service.
If you're looking for a place to host a gathering or just enjoy a great atmosphere, Honkers Pub & Nest events is the place to be. Highly recommend!"

"First time being here on a Thursday, so the wings were half off (Thursday is their day for wings). Got the hot flavor, as it is my go to for any place I get wings. I also got the Golden Goose flavor, which you can get as a sauce or a rub.
The wings are ok. There are definitely other places that are better. They are generous with the sauce however, which I appreciate since a few places tend to put very little amounts. Some of my wings were a little too wet though, so the breading was a bit gooey.
The atmosphere is great. At some points there is live music (unfortunately now at the time that I went). The staff was friendly as well.
This review is based solely on the wings, so I cannot speak for the rest of the menu. I'll have to come back and try other items
Ps, the blue cheese was very delicious with the wings 🙏"

"I had heard rave reviews about the burgers here so came to give them a try. As soon as our food came out I could see it was going to be outstanding. Huge burger, with delicious crispy fries cooked just enough —not too light or dark. To die for gravy. We realized that two women can easily share one burger with fries, and will definitely be cal to try more items on the menu. Wing night for example…."

We hope that by raising the standards of bars, it’s going to put pressure on everyone to be a part of this culture of saying let’s make sure people are having a really good time, but make sure that they are safe, communities are vibrant and we’re reducing some of the harms that can occur when people are over consuming and not doing it the right way.
