We went here during a holiday when not a lot of restaurants are open. We had the brunch menu, got the normal continental breakfast plate called Nelly's Breakfast, nothing special. The beef in the stew is soft, i don't like the stew so much. But the chowder was great, it lived up to the hype. Overall, i would say nothing special with the brunch menu, not a lot to choose from as well. The cocktails were great though! Prices are average in the area. Will be back, for sure!
Love the atmosphere of this place. Went for a quick supper before a concert. The service is fast and friendly and although my friends' beer on tap arrived flat our server did replace it which was great. We ordered the Bangers & Mash and the Fish Burger The food was tasty although I wasn't expecting basically fish and chips on a bun.
Best bar restaurant in Halifax. There seafood chowder is the best main reason why they give u a fresh tasty bread with it. Great place to speak to the ladies of Halifax to.
Not the best presentation or value for money. The food was just thrown on the plate and the portions were small for the price (I had fish and chips). There was plenty of room to plate things more nicely. The flavour was nice and it was cooked well, just not much value for your money. The atmosphere was great and staff friendly which boosted my ranking from a 3 to 4.
The food was great atmosphere great. The only reason I rated the service a 3 is because I did try to make reservations and was told they couldn't do because of a convention in town. I advised the gentleman thats fine. As I'm waiting for a table a group off 7 come in and get seated. Asked the girl how is that possible she said they all worked at the pub
I called her put out on it. You could clearly see that one person of the group of seven was a freind off one of the servers.
My friend and I went on a Sunday during happy hour, so the service wasn't the most speedy but it was still completely satisfactory. The food was delicious and felt like a perfect home cooked pub meal. Many peopel were watching the rugby game, and there were musicians sitting a few tables away from us who were playing their instruments around their table of drinks - fantastic atmosphere!
My wife and I primarily came for cocktails. We did try the sticky toffee pudding. That was excellent, perfectly cooked and seasoned.
Our primary server was bartender Derek. It was our understanding that he has 30+ years in bartender experience, and it definitely showed. I threw about 8 different cocktails at him to make while there, and every single one came fast and was made perfectly. I personally respect someone with refined mixology skills, and Derek is now in my top three most skilled bartenders I've had to serve me around the world. This bar has a very valuable person on board, and I hope they realize it. We will definitely be back to this establishment for cocktails and live music.
Atmosphere: We sat here for a few hours and were able to get a grasp on how the bar is. My opinion is that between 4 and 7, it's quite quiet. 7-10 casual drinkers and middle age crowd is there. 10pm to close is a younger and louder crowd. Enjoy.
Other than the music being a bit too loud, a good lively atmosphere on a Sunday night. The food was standard pub fare - tasty and fresh.

Shanna was absolutely stellar. Her knowledge and warm service made our night. My family came in and got some wonderful generous portions of food. We had cocktails, wine, apps, and mains. Everything was prompt and tasty. My mother and I both have severe allergies and the server knew everything that we were able to have and not have. Can't wait to be back.
Apologies for the less than perfect photo of my meal, I dug in straight away!
This is a bar where a lot of people come. Security guards (?) control people's entry at the door. As expected, it's a little noisy because it's a bar. The number of server seems to be very small compared to the number of guests who entered. I have to sit at the table and wait for more than 10 minutes to order. I just had to wait because the server didn't look at me when I passed by. The food tasted good. I like nacho chip, this place is delicious. But you have to eat quickly. If the cheese on the nacho hardens, it doesn't taste good. You should eat the cheese quickly before it hardens.😆
