Food and drinks were good. They were very busy, it took awhile for us to get our sharing plates, napkins and cutleries. I have to go to the serving station to get them myself.

Had a fantastic visit here, the food was great, staff was amazing, the service was fantastic and to top it all off I got to meet one of my all time favorites YouTube idol 'Party Marty ' the music was phenomenal Marty like always.

Our group had an awesome weeknight visit to this bar. We didn't eat anything but shared several beer samplers and had a lot of fun trying the different local varieties. This is a perfect first stop for Halifax nightlife because you can try a lot of different options and get a feel for what you like in the area. Service and ambience was great!

My husband and I are huge fans of this place. It has changed hands several times since we started visiting. There is no longer the 99 beer on tap, but there are still plenty of choices. The servers are great, friendly and engaging. We 've only ever ordered your typical pub food recently, always served to order as both my husband and I like things our way. I highly recommend this place if you 're visiting downtown Halifax. It 's not a 5 star restaurant, but the food and atmosphere are great. Price per person: $20–30
