49 Best Pubs near Bedford

“This was my first time at Millstone in Bedford and I will definitely be going back. Extremely friendly staff who accommodated us when we showed up early with 12 in our party instead of 10. Super fast service and reasonable pricing. Food was delicious. Why would anyone want to eat downtown? You gotta go here.“

“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!“

“Yesterday we had the privilege of eating at The Narrows Halofax, Nova Scotia's #1 Public House and number #12 in Canada. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere and personable host made us feel like we were home! All of the waitresses were incredible and ours went over and above to make us happy and we truly had the best time. The food was to die for, they have a fantastic menu with a bit of everything on it. 100% highly recommend we will be back 🥰“

“We saw this restaurant as a choice to go too while planning our vacation. So glad we went, liked it so much we went the next night. We sat in the pub downstairs, loved the atmosphere, my husband had the turkey pie and I hade the chicken and leak pie the first night, the pastry was so nice. the second night we had the fish and chips and the pan fried haddock. This was our favorite spot to eat in Halifax.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had a delicious meal at the old port pub last Saturday evening. Steak was cooked to perfection! Waitress was lovely. Totally recommend 🫶“

“A true local. The food is so much better than you're expecting, with a limited but fresh menu that has something for everybody. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired, but it's emerging as one of HRM's most exciting music venues with weekly shows.“

“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“

“We had the very best Valentines!! The space was perfect, the food - absolutely delicious - and service was wonderful. Thank you all so much.“

“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.“

“The OG sandwich is great! some great music“

“fantastic food service is great“

“The best! Such a rad venue!“

“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“

“great food, service and wonderful staff“

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

“Best food and staff very friendly. Looking forward to my return to Jenny’s Place Pub“

“We had the taco salad, and it was absolutely delicious! Our server, Alex, was incredibly friendly, kind, and welcoming. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and his genuine care and thoughtfulness really stood out. The place has a great vibe, the food was excellent, and the service made the visit even better. Highly recommend this spot, and a big shoutout to Alex for his outstanding service and warm demeanor.“

“Shout Out to an excellent establishment where we just shared some nachos and a bit of cheer on this rainy day in Nova Scotia!“

“We held a celebration of life at the Lion's Head, and it was the perfect venue. Joseph, the manager, was so flexible and easy to deal with, the space was large and had lots of windows and natural light with easy-to-use technology for toasts and broadcasting of slide shows. The food was great, and the serving staff were excellent, respectful and efficient. This was such a painless experience for a sad event, and I would 100% recommend the Lion’s Head as a venue for gatherings. Additional bonuses: lots of parking, easy to get to, elevator/accessible. I highly recommend this venue for gatherings and can't thank the team enough for their professionalism and compassion.“

“First of all......wonton nachos are AMAZING! Louisiana chicken club 👌
Service has always been top notch.... the waitress forgot our cutlery, we all had a good laugh and she jokingly told the patrons beside us that we just like to eat with our hands 🤣 seriously though, this place is fantastic! We have been here twice and both times A++“

“Went here for an early week lunch. Here is mine and my fiancé’s opinions.

Atmosphere - 8/10 (Irish music a bit louder would be great to help separate conversations of nearby tables) but loved the vibes and the flags around (even had the Republic of NL flag… the best flag in my opinion).

Service - 8/10

Food:
- potato skins 7.7/10 (needed a bit more cheese)
- Sweet potato chips 8/10
- Bruschetta 3/10 (dunno if it had cilantro in it but it gave soap vibes)
- Fish and chips 7/10 (if they used Cod it would easily be a high 9)

Drinks: 8/10, loved how they had Guinness 0.“

“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“

“A very homey and romantic atmosphere. The subdued lighting is reminiscent of the kind of place you take your mistress. The charcuterie board which my wife and I shared was quite excellent. The beer( North Brewery’s Malternate Reality IPA ) was exceptional and my wife “loved” her Red wine spritzer Shiraz. Our server, Scotty, was the most engaging and friendly person I’ve encountered in a Bar or Restaurant in Nova Scotia and I’ve been coming here for 22 plus years. A sublime experience.“

“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.“

“Had a meal with my family here and I hadn't been to Midtown in many years. Food was as I remembered, hit the spot. And our waiter may have been the best waiter I've had in Nova Scotia in a long time. My family has had a very difficult week and my daughter was having a rough evening but the waiter, Colin, knew exactly how to talk to her and he was genuinely kind with my boys. This definitely eased my own stress as well, and later in the evening my daughter brought up how nice he was. I don't usually leave reviews but my experience this evening was a reminder why I love Halifax. Thank you“

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

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

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

“We came here on a whim. The place looked like a typical bar you'd find on a long drive however it had a Nintendo section which was honestly cool. It was filled with locals who were generally very happy and talkative with the bartender and staff. I actually found this very enjoyable as if gave the place a very friendly and family like vibe. The music was nice and not overbearing loud. We definitely felt like we were a little out of place but we weren't treated terribly, we were greeted with kindness.She recommended good beverages and everything was brought at a timely manner.The food is greasy but good. The fries could have used more seasoning, when I brought it to the waitresses attention she let me know they do have a seasoning but they only put it on via request as some people dont like it. (I highly recomend asking for it.) but beyond that it was filling, it was tasty. I would definitely ask for more napkins in advance!I'd love to come back when they have a live band, it seems like it would be a fun place to be.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“Very well impressed with the restaurant, the building, menu and ambience indoors. Could have been a tourist trap but wasn't. Waiter very nice. One missing Malpeque in the order but easily brought to the table when flagged. Bacon wrapped scallops good but needed a side something to refresh the salty dish. Seafood chowder, crab cake very good.“

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

“Good food, great atmosphere“

“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.“
