Elephant's Nest Pub & Grub

Legendary Chatham bar. Music is a little much sometimes though, but that's just Chatham music scene. If I had to give you one recommendation... Don't visit if hardcore bands are playing. It defeats the purpose of a pub.

Has an awesome laid back atmosphere on week days/nights. Whether you want to nurse a beer, play a game of pool or both. Weekends are pretty bangin. Gets a decent club vibe going, depending what band is playing. Best prices downtown. Staff are spectacular no matter when you're in, always quick and have super sonic hearing. Definitely Chathams go to bar, our own "Cheers"

Nice, kind of small making it tight for space or finding a place to sit. Difficult to purchase food or drink if not going during the week. Would recommend ear protection for how loud the live music is.

If you're looking for a elegant atmosphere it may not be your place, however, for a classic "cheers" style pub where everyone know your name kind of bar you've found it. Decent selection of taps with local craft brews as well as your standard domestics. Live bands and my all time favorite for a bar like this, free peanuts.
