Description

The BG is a bustling spot on the Halifax waterfront with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The food received mixed reviews, with some dishes like the Lobster Roll and nachos lacking flavor and quality, while others praised the tasty and fresh food offerings. The service varied, with some customers encountering slow or rude servers, while others found the staff friendly and attentive. The prices were on the higher side, but the picturesque harbor view and ample beer selection made it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. Overall, the BG is a casual and laid-back option for a meal or drinks, especially if you're looking for a spot with a waterfront view.

We had a fantastic meal in Halifax at the Stubborn Goat. Our waitress couldn’t have been nicer. One of our party had a Gluten allergy and they have several good choices. We tried the lobster BLT and the smash burger. All very good. Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free Options Available

We hosted a networking event with 30+ people at the Goat and it was such a great experience. Food was fantastic, drinks were excellent, and the service from the team was outstanding. Would highly reccommend. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We had an excellent experience at The Stubborn Goat! The food was fantastic—especially the chicken bacon ranch pizza, the SG burger, smash burger, and the rich, comforting clam chowder. Everything was full of flavour and cooked just right. A big shoutout to our server Fiona—she was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone visiting downtown Halifax! Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
