The Hawk's Nest

The Hawk's Nest is just one of many places for students to get food at Lehigh University. But, perhaps the thing that sets it apart from the other dining options on campus is its heavy emphasis on entertainment rather than food.

When I first entered the Hawk's Nest today it was empty, but I still got a great sense of the atmosphere. From the memorabilia and old newspapers on the walls, it was easily apparent that this is a place of great pride and school spirit. The Hawk's Nest also evoked a feeling of comfort. This feeling of comfort radiates from the old wooden benches, chairs, and tables, and the carpet on the second floor.

The Hawk's Nest also felt like a sports bar. The "sporty" feel comes from many different sources. For one, there is the 3 big screen HD televisions, one of which is housed on the first floor, with the other two on the second floor. One the second floor there are also 2 air hockey tables, 1 pool table, and 1 foosball table. I am definitely looking forward to spending some time in the Hawk's Nest, rooting on the Mountain Hawks and just having an overall good time.
