Hideaway for locals looking for a mix of Southern & German fare paired with hundreds of beers.
Our first visit. We didn't try the food but we did get reservations for German night. We were told that's important because they sell out. We sat outside which was very nice. Most of the area is covered and the areas that aren't are shaded. It's a nice place to relax and have a beer. Their staff is very friendly and the beer list is impressive. It's truly a hidden gem. If loud baring music is your thing you won't find it here and that's a plus for me. I'm sure we'll be back soon. We came back for German Food Night. I've never had Zigeunerschnitzel before. It was really good.
The service was phenomenal, and so was the atmosphere. Had the Rib-Eye with Horseradish on Chicago Roll sandwich, and it was pretty good! Wide variety of beer selection for anyone's liking!
The (exceptional) Nook creates a comfortable and relaxing vibe. I’ve come here a few times, and it’s the kind of place I enjoy sharing with others. They offer creole and cajun cuisine. My favorite is the gumbo (theres a slight sweetness to it), but for now I still get the sampler for $16 where you can pick 3 samples of any specialty. I enjoy the samplers with a large cheese plate since the samplers already come with crackers ;) In the picture, this is the small cheese plate, but i upgraded to the large because i didn’t have an idea of how quite small it is. I enjoy my meal with the pumpkin ale. It doesn’t taste too much like pumpkin, which is great, i did not want it to. It’s a satisfying hint of hop and fall in this beautiful winter/spring weather. My server’s name was Monica. This is the first she’s served me, but I can honestly say all the people who work here, or rather, who have served me, have been exceptional personalities. Especially the quirky ones. The cooks are amazing, whoever you are. Thank you to the owner for establishing this wonderful place here in my hometown of Huntsville, AL. For your own reference, my meal was around $35. P.S: The only thing I’d tweak is the modern music outside—it competes with the natural sounds of the trees, wind, and birds. It’s not a major issue, but if the playlist matched the calm atmosphere, it would blend in better. That said, the music itself is good and popular, just a bit distracting.
This place is a well-established, hidden gem. Amazing selection of beer and bourbon and a very knowledgeable staff to help you get over decision paralysis! Food is good ... but who goes there for the food? Overall amazing place to go after work or meet up with friends.
This is one of my favorite bars in Huntsville. It’s always populated but never crowded due to being far from downtown and tucked away on Bob Wallace… meaning you’re never going to be bothered by the loud beautiful babies that may frequent noisier bars. This is a locals-only kind of haunt. The staff is always professional and expeditious, and the beer list is extensive and will be sure to satisfy whatever your beer taste is. The Nook serves all the Alabama state faves, as well as a wide variety of international fare. They sell beer, mead, cider, whiskey, whatever you’re in the mood for. The best part of the Nook is the beautiful backyard patio. It’s heated/zipped off in cooler weather, and perfect in the summer, with lush greenery and a privacy fence. This place is always a treat!
