We went 2 nights in a row...one of the best Pad Thai I have ever eaten...twice!
Great service from Audrey and ( I feel horrible because I forgot her name...she was super nice also)
Ambiance was cozy and chill...beers were local and delicious!
A must return when we go to Halifax!
More people need to know about this spot! It is tucked away but so cozy with the fireplace. Great selection of craft beers - I like a bitter and I'm partial to pears so I chose the Loyalist English ale and was not disappointed. It was a Monday night so we almost had the place to ourselves. Our server was very friendly and helpful and really made us feel at home. We were informed that with a beverage purchase all pasta dishes were at a special price, including the lobster carbonara - twist my arm! And there was no skimping on the lobster. The rest of the table was pleased with their selections, including the peanut butter bottom burger. Take a wander down!
We visit rockbottom brewery on our Halifax trip and it was awesome!
The lobster is cheap and delicious. We also tried the veggie burger and it was great.
For the first official fish burger for Life of Burgers, the Crunchy Haddock Burger from Rockbottom was a solid choice. In a city that loves seafood, this burger does hold it’s own. I know that there are many other options within Halifax, and this is only the beginning of LoB’s fishy adventure!
I don't know if it was because we were the only ones in this basement brewery on a weekday afternoon, but the service we got was impeccable.
We came for the selection of house beers which were a nice variety and pretty damn cheap for a about $2 a glass in a flight. Buck, our server and one of the only people in the bar, was great at chatting us up about our trip and Halifax. He even insisted in throwing some extra glasses of beers in the flight because they were new and just came out. He was passionate about his beer and it made them even more delicious.
The food unfortunately wasn't anything I'd go out of my way for. They're good to fill you up while you drink, but the fish and chips was a pretty plain piece of haddock on a fluffy batter. The Crunchy Haddock Burger was again a decent piece of fish with simple lettuce and tomato for a topping.
The place is a great quiet drinking spot in downtown Halifax. Very great place to relax after a tiring afternoon. It's a destination for cruise ships too and was kind of interesting to see a group come in for a tour and learn about local beer and culture.
Great Stout!!!! My bf loved the Fizz Gig red ale. Great beers. We also tried the sampler. The wheat beers are meh but we both aren't huge wheat beers fans. I had the veggie burger and fries. Although a soy based patty, it was still tasty. My bf had the peanut butter burger. He was in love with it! I imagine it gets busy during the weekend with students.
The craft beers are awsome ...
I enjoy the place a lot.
Amazing place for drinks and food. Epic burger and fish&chips, and the local brews were some of the best we've had in NS. Great atmosphere too - I would definitely go again.
First off, since Greg Nash took the reigns almost 2 years ago the place has become an institution for great craft beers....the IPAs and stout being best ive had anywhere.
As for the food, it's time to get a new chef. The food is horrible and has been horrible for a long time. Not sure if that will happen as the people continue to pile in.....for the beer and atmosphere. Staff is very good
Nice to see the craft brewing industry taking a foot hold in the Maritimes. Definate West Coast atmoshere to this outstanding brew pub.Great food and eclectic slection of crafts to compliment fine food. Competitors take note!
I've been here many times and have never been disappointed. A few of the staff even recognize me now and are always super friendly. The turkey avacado burger is my absolute favourite, and my husband never tires of cycling through the beer choices. Highly recommended!
Another Great Job. I've been to Rockbottom several times and once again everything was great.
It's nice to see they've changed the menu up again, some awesome new pastas. (can't wait to try them all)
Tonight the place was rather busy but didn't have an issue being seated or served.
We started with the Mussels Provencal as we usually do and a couple pints of the Nut Brown, then my partner had the Turkey Burger which never seems to fail and I tried the Smoked Salmon Pasta (not sure of the proper name) which was to die for. A couple of pints later we decided to try the Tiramisu ( a new addition) and it was the best Tiramisu I've ever eaten, you can tell it's not a frozen, pre-packaged dessert and our server Christina told us it's made by a local Italian and exclusive to Rockbottom.
We will be back again and again, thanks for everything Christina!
Great beer and great food. They've been accommodating with big groups and we've had great meals with just two of us. I've often found that basement bars like this really have to kick up their game a notch since they're not going to lure you in with a sunny patio, and Rock Bottom is no different. Really nice, warm atmosphere of with a staff that feels really well trained on good service.
The beer is delicious. That's subjective, but the selection is good and they make it themselves. I've always found their brews to be solid (as a rock? Ugh... Sorry.)
Kitchen staff are putting out solid pub meals as well. All in all an easy place to recommend to anyone.
Clean and warm atmosphere. It was surprisingly comfortable with the live music going on that night. Waitress was very friendly and did a great job despite the noise. Homemade onion rings were good. Veggie burger with gluten free bun and fresh fries was done really well. Would recommend
Came here during the burger week, love the burger so much! Was the most delicious burger I’ve had. The sauce was amazing, the burger meat was tasty, and the fries was so good!! Will back soon for sure!!
Went in with a buddy for some seafood dinner and ordered the 2 piece fish and chips. The fish portions were so big I couldn't even finish my plate (and that's not like me). The slaw was delicious and the beers were cold and crisp. Had a great evening here, and would recommend it to others
Went here for burger week and it was delicious! The burger was expensive at 14$ and they gave a small amount of fries for the price. However, the beer is all brewed in house and the food was excellent and the staff is nice.
Great food, great service. They have a craft beer flight of all their house beers which contains 7 (!) types of beer for only $10. Good burger selection as well.
Great burgers and craft beers. Waitress was wonderfully friendly. Reasonably priced. Will be back.
Tried the sampler.. a good selection of beer.. Belgian, cream ale, stout, ipa, red, wheat, and a sour. Good nachos... corn chips aren't too salty. Fresh toppings. Attentive staff.
I would recommend checking this place out. They provide large portions and the food is very tasty! (Try their Delicious potachos!)
Pretty good beers, nice food, good service. Fast and cheap. Good place for a cozy dinner/lunch. Try the Rockbottom IPA.
