The Nest opened on NAIT\u2019s main campus in 1988, a result of the hard work of three partners: NAITSA, the NAIT Board of Governors, and the Alberta Government. Since then, it\u2019s been the best place on campus for students, instructors, and staff to make friends, make memories, watch the game, and enjoy great food and drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nest has always been owned and operated by NAIT Students\u2019 Association, and in 2012, underwent a much-needed major front of house renovation resulting in the larger bar, fireplace lounge, accessible stage, and state of the art keg system that you see today.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>As a full-service, fully licensed restaurant, on any given day we supply food and beverage to an average of 200-600 walk in guests. We have always been a sports venue where you can sit down after class to catch the big game on the big screen, but we\u2019ve also been a fine dining venue, hosted weddings, graduations, award nights, speaker series, comedy shows, and concerts! Some notable acts to have graced our stage are Vanilla Ice, Metric, Theory of a Deadman, the Sheepdogs, Trailer Park Boys, and countless others.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>In 2014, Nest Eatery was the first campus bar to be accredited a Best Bar None venue. Since then, Nest has been awarded first place in the BBN Best Campus Bar category in Edmonton every year until 2019, making it eight consecutive years that it has held that distinction. In addition to be recognized by AGLC, Nest Eatery has been voted the People\u2019s Choice Award for Best Campus Bar in 2018, 2019 and 2022, an honour made all the more significant because it is a direct reflection of the community Nest has created.<\/span><\/p>\n
