Nash's Sports Bar — Restaurant in Isla Mujeres

We are regular travelers to Isla Mujeres. At least twice a year, sometimes more. We often bring friends or new people to the island because it's such a great experience everywhere we go.

We were there just this week, and it was a big week in sports including the World Series as well as NFL football and NBA basketball. So our group of 12 spent several evenings at Nash's drinking and eating. We easily spent more than $500 there total. The food was good and the staff was friendly.

On the third night we went. The owner was there and drinking. He engaged our group in conversation and ultimately bought a round of shots for all of us. Very much appreciated, and we all thanked him for his generousity. An hour later we bought our own round of shots, and when Blake (bartender) brought us the round, one of our group piped up and asked him to bring one more for the bar owner. Unfortunately, Blake forgot to bring it.

And then it started.

The owner sat a table away and began to loudly berate our group for being disrespectful by not buying him a shot too. Blake eventually brought the shot over to the owner, but it didn't stop. He got louder and louder, telling his off duty bartender sitting with him how rude we were. The short story is that he threw our entire group out of his bar, telling us to never come back screaming and dropping F-bombs. He was clearly loaded and beligerent. There was no talking or reasoning that could be done. And the rest of the patrons left too.

It's a shame. He was in the wrong here. Period. And even if he was right, what is to be gained by throwing out the people that pay you and your staff? He could have settled the matter easily without losing customers. And I really feel sorry for the staff. They worked so hard to please us all week so they could make good money from tips, and he threw it all away over $1.30 worth of liquor and his personal feelings. I doubt he even remembers this. I was sober that night, so I remember it very well unfrotunately. It was embarrassing for the staff and for his establishment.

I don't want to say not to go there, because the staff is good and the food is good, but if the owner is present, don't stay later than early evening to avoid a...

The only reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is because they have wifi & the NFL Sunday ticket and we were able to watch football while we were on the island. The food here is atrocious. We ordered chili cheese fries and queso with ground beef. The ground beef taste funny and wasnt seasoned well. The chilli was low quality and had a horrible taste which ruined the fries. I ordered a crown apple drink with cranberry juice and it was in a small glass and they had the nerve to charge me $8. They were so busy and it was only 2 waitresses taking orders and making drinks. I would suggest only coming here for...

This place is awesome! He gets all the games. Watched world Junior hockey. Saturday night hockey games. Cotton bowl and Orange bowl. UFC. Ask Nash for your game. He'll get it. Staff are fun and friendly. Great place to interact with other fan's and people looking to have a good time. Drink prices are low/medium for the tourist area. Food is basic pub fare but good. You know you're in when Nash is doing great a shot tequila with you. Be warned, the bar balcony is a sauna. I didn't mind it because of...
