48 Best Pubs near Bedford

“Overall I had a good experience but it fell short in two main areas. First before I get into it I want too say my waitress was perfect very friendly and always there when we needed her.

First issue i had was that I ordered the sliders which sounded lovely but when I got them they were dry almost no sauce on them. I barely ate it. Wasn't really impressed especially for a customer favorite dish. My favorite is still thr maple chicken penne.

Second issue which isnt really an issue was the lack of tv''s , for a sports like bar. The tvs that they did have were on the smaller scale so only a select few could aee them.“

“First time... no regrets! Food was awesome! Great atmosphere! Our server Sky was amazing, friendly and very knowledgeable! My wife and I will definitely be back and recommend!“

“Great atmosphere, great food and service. I would come back for sure.“

“Visit Friday December 5, 2025. Mobility impaired persons should be aware of stairs. Dinning Room located on main floor and pub located downstairs. Great authentic vibes, great menu selection of beverages and dishes. Food ordered was great, and suggested beer by staff was spot on. Would recommend. Bit of a cold draft downstairs despite the lovely fireplace.“

“fantastic food service is great“

“Stopped in with hubby and the doggies for lunch. Was thrilled we could have the dogs with us at the table on the patio and that there were water bowls provided. Service was a little slow and unfortunately our order got lost and it took a while to get our food. Kitchen tried to rush the meal to make up for the delay and our spinach dip was still cold in the middle. Overall the food was good and I would return to try the food again.“

“Jason was a great server and his recommendations were perfect.“

“Stopped in for supper last night and we were very happy with our meals and the service! Great portion sizes, and the food was delicious. We thought it was a little strange that the shrimp dip had full-size shrimp, and only three of them in it, would probably be better if they chopped up the shrimp throughout the dip, but otherwise everything was great!“

“It's been years since I've visited the Woodside Tavern. The ownership has changed and the place has been renovated. It's more open and inviting now. The menu impressed us; the choices are varied and the taste of the dishes was very flavorful. Our server, Sujana, was quick to provide menus, take our order, served us beverages, then went into the kitchen to cook our meal, and then served us! She can do it all! It was a very enjoyable visit. We'll definately return!“

“Love this place everything is amazing, staff is knowledgeable and nice, ambulance is great, food is terrific and I'm addicted to the muscles with a spicy cilantro sauce. So good! 5 stars. I been here several times always a great experience“

“I think it’s really good and they are amazing people who love having you there and there chicken wing’s are delicious and it’s a really nice and beautiful restaurant and I also recommend it to really big golfers and chicken wing lovers (like me ;) ) -Sadie M. Age:11“

“The best! Such a rad venue!“

“I have to first comment on the bathrooms. absolutely beautiful!! cleanest bathrooms I have ever seen in a restaurant, well done!! your food is delicious and your staff is the best!! we were treated with such kindness today, you made my boy feel so special on his 6th birthday. we will definitely be back again soon.“

“A little disappointed in this place. There’s a guy across the street cursing out people while we ate outside. The staff asked me not to call the Police and are not willing to do anything. I posted a pic of the guy that will ruin your outdoor experience at this place.“

“Honestly, I love the brown hound. I don’t think I’ve had one bad experience. Although, the last time I was in, I ordered my usual (bangers and mash), and the sausage came out sliced and diced all up the side. I don’t know why, but the appearance made me nauseous. It looked aquatic — almost octopus like? Think: a cooked spider-dog over a campfire. It was an experience I wasn’t prepared for. Please go back to plain bangers, please! It was genuinely a nightmare. To hide my embarrassment, I brought the sausage home for my dog. Maybe it’s a me problem but my mum said it was also very unappetizing. Love you still!“

“The OG sandwich is great! some great music“

“Was in Halifax last night for a concert . I am at the airport about to fly back home this morning . I didn’t know anyone in Halifax , I just came here to see my favourite band , and I just happened upon the Loose Cannon and wandered in before the show . Matt the bartender , I think his friends who were at the bar called him Chissy , was amazing . Great guy. He made my night before the show , as I was all alone. He introduced me to some regulars who were going to the show at the bar , who were awesome people. I was chatting with them about music for about an hour pre show . He was the reason I came back after, this time with some ppl I had met there at the concert . I have never felt compelled to leave a review about a place before , but I felt like this guy deserved the kudos . He was really busy when we came back, but was still incredibly nice and hospitable to us . I will be back for sure on my next visit .“

“Stopped in for lunch on our last day in Halifax. We had the Philly cheesesteak and the Tap burger. Food was 10/10, large hearty serving, everything was cooked perfectly. Met the owner, she was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back“

“5 Star rating! ❤️ The BEST! ❤️“

“We visit this pub before shopping at Costco. Let me tell you, a filling and satisfying meal and a pint make the whole experience much easier! We love Seamus David's. The food is consistently delicious and the servers are very kind and easy to talk to. The beer selection is great too! The atmosphere is cozy and warm.“

“If you're heading to a concert at Scotiabank Arena, you can't ask for a better location.

Despite how busy this place is, service is excellent. They have separate servers for drinks and food - I think this plays a big part in how quickly they can serve.

The food was excellent. Classic pub fare. I opted for the club, and the wife had chicken tenders. Both were great.“

“I could not be more thankful for the staff at the lower deck. While shooting an event, my bag was stolen and not only did the event coordinator help me sort things out on the camera, but Mike the bouncer actually FOUND my backpack AND all of my gear (minus bank cards) in a nearby lot!! I could not be more grateful for the AMAZING staff who not only kept me calm, but no joke, FOUND ALL OF MY GEAR AND SAVED THE DAY!!! Mike, Steph, and Laura seriously deserve an award for how above and beyond they went last night. 10/10, thank you does not say enough“

“Great food and service! Loved the live music 🎵“

“The Lion’s Head is one of my go-to spots in the North End when I want a chill, friendly vibe. The rooftop patio is the real star — perfect for soaking up the sun.

Service is always quick and friendly, even when it’s busy, and having lots of free parking nearby makes it an easy choice. It’s also a great spot for larger groups — plenty of space and a lively atmosphere without feeling cramped.

Food-wise, it’s mostly solid with the occasional standout. The sweet potato fries, burger, salad, mac and cheese, and a chicken wrap with soup I tried once as a feature were all great. The wings were just okay — not bad, but not a must-order for me.

All in all, a fun neighborhood pub with a killer patio, reliable food, and staff who make you feel welcome.“

“great food, service and wonderful staff“

“amazing food, beer and service. highly recommended.“

“Jenny’s pub is the place you want to be!“

“Great experience here! Our server was fantastic (we didn’t get his name ~ slim, no hair). We had the Millstone Burger, Candied Bacon Burger, and a Club…the food was excellent. Loved having a combo of fries and salad to go with it. The fries deserve a shoutout of their own.. so good! Great casual atmosphere ~ we’ll definitely be back!“

“Wonderful Blues House hosting Morgan Davis! Mom and Son night out! Great atmosphere, greater music!“

“Hands down my favorite weekend brunch spot! The food is so flavorful, potatoes so crispy, just absolutely brilliant by Chef Rico!! Great food, super reasonable price, and you likely won't need to eat another meal the same day. Highly recommend.“

“Great local watering hole. A nice mix of neighborhood folks frequent this 'every(wo)man's' spot. Beer is (comparitively) cheap, and the bartenders are rad.“

“This is our local taproom. I just love this place. Great bunch of people...staff and patrons. A great place to relax and enjoy some good conversation. The beer is the best in Halifax if you're into craft beer. Always a great selection and the beers rotate frequently so you never get tired of drinking the same thing....unless of course you want to. They have some specialty snacks to enjoy with your favorites beer too. They do not serve food, but you're welcome to bring in whatever your heart desires, in to eat. Jesse's Pizza and CHKN CHOP are just steps away.A couple of my favorite beers are 12 Years to Zion, DOA and Flat Black Jesus. I'm sure you'll have your own favorites.“

“Came tor Trivia night and ordered quesidila. Little pricey for food but I guess fairly standard these days, but the drinks were reasonably priced. Iverall decent experience. Typical pub fair and vibe for the most part. Service was decent, food came out quite fast“

“Have eaten here many many times Highly recommend seafood chowder. It’s a 10 out of 10.“

“Clearly the best bar in Halifax. Cheap drinks, great tunes, super attractive staff, and the best trivia night in the city.“

“Love oasis. Always will. However, can I suggest that at karaoke you limit the amount of songs a person can sign up to sing? Last night there was a few girls who kept signing up repeatedly and singing over and over again and there wasn’t enough time for the rest of us to sing :)“

“the food and as well the staff are fantastic. Great entertainment. very friendly environment. A very safe place to go for the gay community.“

“Had a great lunch. The Works burger was amazing!“

“Went in for a lil night out here tonight with a friend- loved it! The atmosphere/ music/ staff and she loved they had VLT’s there- Yummy cheap enough drinks too- will try food next time! Yup there will definitely be a next time!“

“I am very impressed with the service and many thanks to chef and kitchen staff for accommodating my special request. An amazing meal . The cream and Sherry Seafood pasta was cooked to perfection!“

“OMG!!! The food was OUTSTANDING!!!! The seafood was incredibly fresh! Large portions! Highly recommend the seafood tower, duck sliders, molasses bread and lobster rolls! Service was quick, friendly and attentive. HIGHLY recommend - cant wait to return next time we are visiting Halifax. Do yourself a favour and eat HERE!!!“

“The pizza was absolutely delicious, perhaps the best I’ve had. Crust was perfectly cooked, toppings were generous yet not overpowering. I ordered the 9” personal and probably could have done with just 3 of 4 slices but forced the last one down … was too good to leave.

Service was A++. Alex welcomed us right away, was quick to take our order and took the time to chat for a moment before we left. Such a breath of fresh air in this world where everyone seems to be too busy to even say hello. An asset to the restaurant! We will definitely be grabbing pizza here again next time we visit Halifax.“

“We dined after a busy day at work & it was DELISH & great service, atmosphere , food and views ! We'll be back ! 😋“

“Group of work crew got together for a meal and then a Moose game on February 29th and not only enjoyed the food, the layout of the restaurant, but the waiter (Brandon) was amazing and made the whole experience of our first visit the best experience and we'll definitely return.“

“Good food, great atmosphere“
