Went for dinner on a Friday evening before things got super busy downtown. Friendly, helpful, and accommodating staff, great atmosphere, extremely clean space. I went for their De-Calf Burger and it was beyond incredible! Staff were knowledgable about what to remove or substitute to make the meal vegan and seemed more than happy to do so. They also had the best fries I've had in a long time. With the food on offer and the fact that they brought the Mellotones back for Thursday nights on Argyle, I will definitely be back!
I’m a lil biased since I work there on Monday nights hosting karaoke HOWEVER the staff and crowd are awesome, the sound and vibe are magnificent and the food and drinks are a sure win (having Troy Arsenault from The Anchor involved...!) the decor is unique and interesting. All in all I have to say 5/5. Enjoy babes!!!
The live music is so good! The drummer was killing it. The bartender gets grumpy if you ask for water though.
Between the marquee, seahorse, and the local I am never let down coming here. Ive done art battle here multiple times as well as the shrek rave?? Tonight I wanted to order food at the seahorse and the chef was just like "order upstairs ill keep an eye for you down here"!! You have your kitchen doing service? Love this place, I tell everyone its my favourite place for a night out in NS
The live music along with the vibe of the place changes the whole mood to fills it with exotic next. Interior of the place will make you think for a moment how good thoughts have been put in to put a such a space. Really recommend if you are in Halifax and are looking for more than just a club night, a night filled with the energy of a live band. Don’t miss it and honestly you won’t regret. Great job! People keep the exotic vibe going.
I love this place. I loved it when it was on Argyle St and I think I like it more now that it's under the Marquee. Always high quality musical entertainment in the offing.
The Seahorse has a vibe all its own - it's just one of those venues.
The bar staff were really nice and were quick to sling drinks, and I was also really impressed by the tall dude doing security checking IDs and stuff. I think they're subcontracted (shadow security?) but he was INCREDIBLY polite and professional.
A fun and hopping place when the band gets started. Reasonably priced beer and very cool dance floor area.
In the basement though, try not to get confused by the separate pub upstairs.
I lived in Halifax in the 80s, and while this isn't the Seahorse of my misspent youth, it was nice to visit. Still a cool basement bar. We went to see the Babes, Babes, Babes Burlesque show and it was super fun. Great sightlines to a small stage. Good bar, well stocked, bar. Efficient bartenders.
Fantastic little spot 2 blocks away from the Scotia Bank Center.
I was lucky enough to catch two tribute bands on a Saturday night and it was one of the best nights out in a while. The acoustics were great and the sound engineer was on top of things the whole night.
The beer was cold and reasonably priced. Service was fast and busers were busy all night.
The bathroom was clean as well.
Cover was only $10 and the two bands were worth way more. Well worth the walk and price of admission.

They have pretty cool venues. I like this place. Id recommend a bracelet system for their coat check, tickets are too easy to lose believe me 😅
Jess served me, she is an angel- She knew all about what people drinking want. And she offered a straw when I didn’t even ask for one. Also , she was very kind and gave off the best vibes. Way to go Jess! ❤️
The part we went to was the basement. There were several live bands. The music was enjoyable. The beer selection is a little poor, the beer prices are reasonable, and the waitresses were prompt and friendly. The ladies at the coat check were very friendly.
I had a great evening and would not hesitate to go back again.
