“Service was prompt and server was helpful with accommodating dietary restrictions. Beautiful outdoor seating with street view.

Started with the calimari, followed by the fish and chips. Never had horseradish in tartar sauce before - but it worked! Everything was delicious. Keep doing what you're doing. You've really got something going there.“

“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.“

“fantastic food service is great“

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

“We were in for the first time tonight, and will definitely be back. Food was delicious, great portion sizes and very reasonable prices! We tried the family bbq, it was a lot of food for the price. I didn't even get to try the ribs, I was so full from the brisket, sausage and pulled pork. Service was also great, Kim? I think, was attentive without hovering, and really talked up the kitchen staff when we said how good the food was. Overall, great dinner!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“The OG sandwich is great! some great music“

“The best! Such a rad venue!“

“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 .“

“5 Star rating! ❤️ The BEST! ❤️“

“This is a great spot for a dinner and or for drinks and a quick bite while in Dartmouth. They have a fantastic patio for warm summer and fall visits. We always enjoy or visits here. Naje sure to check out the daily specials too as they always offer great options.“

“The Grawood is a lovely place to bunker down in a booth and study, or have a chat with bartenders! They also have really cheap drink prices!“

“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.“

“We went on a Saturday evening when all the other restaurants were packed and this one was empty. I was a little nervous it wasn’t going to be good where we were literally the only ones there but the food was fantastic and the waitress was lovely.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“great food, service and wonderful staff“

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

“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“

“Very nice place to grab dinner with family and friends. The service was pleasant and courteous even when only half of my family showed up on a 10 top reservation. The other half went to their other location in Lantz which I didn't know existed 🤦🏼. The food was very good and I enjoyed the decor. We'll definitely be back.“

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

“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.“

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

“Had a good time here server was awsome took care of a big party of us. Had the fisherman's breakfast. Fishcakes smothered in an eggs bennidict and hollandaise sauce topped with a slice of bacon each paired with a citrus salad. I'll be honest I would usually take the hash browns with it but went for something different. No disappointment at all. The salad was covered evenly with it's salad dressing and had mandarin and strawberry garnishings.“

“Come here if you are looking for a zero judgment kind of night. I almost only go on Thursday for karaoke but occasionally in the evening for a game of pool with friends. The people who sing karaoke range greatly from really good to really bad but it is all about the spirit. The food is not what I write home about also the beer on tap has not been very good in the past. Now I just buy bottled beer here and I am happy. It can get pretty packed on Thursday night when the students are in town but this is fun because they are still a good crowd and also love singing and dancing along with karaoke. As someone else said this is a Prime dive bar and I wouldn’t come with expectations other than to expect they serve beer and a great time relies on your attitude when you walk down the stairs.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Was told to order from Downtown pizza downtownn Halifax, told us pizza would be 35-45 min, called us 35 min later to say 1.5 hour delivery, had surgery not ate in 14 hours. They did us a favour called FREEMANS, Excellent pizza, so happy the other place gave us a run around. I then recognized the name and remembered we ate in this restaurant last year ordering lasagna and pizza in restaurant and best Italian I had in long time, Cannot say enough good things“

“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!“

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

“We loved the atmosphere and nautical ambience. The fish and chips and lobster rolls with fries was delicious!!! The lobster was fresh and the fries were crunchy! Our server Maggie was so nice and super friendly! We would definitely recommend this restaurant and go back again.“

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

“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“
