“I have been coming to the Press Gang for 20 years and while the owners have changed, the stunning atmosphere, delicious food and fun service have not. So great to see. The play list however an insufferable list of AM hits from the 70/80's. Doesn't make me want to hang around the bar and have another cocktail.“

“Oysters are quite good, but the lemons are too limited for one dozen of oysters, and the shape of lemon is a little hard to squeeze. Scallops are amazing!Highly recommend this dish! The mix of crispy sesames, cilantro and soft sweet scallops is one of the best match I’ve ever tasted in my life!Tuna and fries is a good dish to share. The fries are not so oily and the tuna is fresh.Duck breasts are so juicy! I’ve never had such good tasting duck in Canada before.Pasta fiori is a little too sour for me.We ordered three cocktails and both of them are wonderful! Especially the one with sage!“

“Had to sample the Harvest Pumpkin Ale from Nine Locks and so dropped into their brew pub on Spring Garden just under My Fathers Moustache. They serve it with a lovely little rim of cane sugar and cinnamon and what a treat it was! To top it off we decided to have the two shrimp tacos as a little filler. I can’t rave about them enough! The chef at My Father’s Moustache makes the food for this brew pub and those tacos were just delicious. I don’t think I’ve had better shrimp in a long time. All around a 10 out of 10. Wait staff were all very nice and we picked up a few beer to take home. I’m anxious to try out the Blackberry Blonde.“

Charlie's Club Bar • $
5580 Cunard St, Halifax

“Charlie's is wild. Whenever I have friends in from out of town, we go straight here. Two pool tables in okay shape, and one of those juke boxes you play with your phone. Karaoke on Monday is really fun, and ruled with an iron fist by weirdos (the good kind). I'm a regular there, so it's a warm place for me, but if you don't work on being part of the community there, it can be a bit of an uphill battle. Very LGBT+ friendly, maybe the closest thing to a queer bar in Halifax unfortunately. Bigots keep out.“

“I've been living in Halifax for over 10 years and was quite surprised to stumble upon this place last evening. It did not disappoint!Firstly it is located in a nice, quaint spot downtown with lots of available street parking nearby. I was first impressed by the decor of the interior. It was modern, bright and very inviting.The service was also top notch.. The server was friendly and observant. He didnt allow our glasses to run empty before refilling them. He noticed when we were using alot of the sauces and quickly offered more. It didnt matter how much we used, he was keen to ask if we wanted more as if they had an unlimited supply. We appreciated that! He was friendly, interactive and very professional.The food was tasty!! We really enjoyed the Pho and the broth was so comforting. I could definitely drink it by the cups lol. We also bought some spring rolls. I believe they are a bit over priced at $7 for 2 rolls, but they were pretty tasty nonetheless. The experience was wonderful. I would definitely go back!“

“We celebrated my birthday with an AMAZING meal, a beautiful view if the halifax harbour, thoughtful and efficient service and gracious hosts at the Cable Wharf restaurant. I had the sharable hot seafood platter. It surpassed all my expectations! Atlantic Lobster was cooked to perfection, digby scallops were tender and packed with flavour, gigantic succulent tiger shrimp, blackened haddock was fantastic, atlantic salmon was sweet and delicious too. My first experience with seared Ahi Tuna and it did not disappoint!! I highly recommend this dish to anyone who wants a seafood extravaganza that represents atlantic Canadian flavours and hospitality that is truly representative of the maritime provinces!!“

“The Wooden Monkey was recommended by my friends living here, they certainly cater to a number of dietary restrictions which are very helpful and they have great food. I can't describe each dish, but there were no cons, everything was well seasoned, the crust on scallops and salmon were to perfection, mussels were delicious not the best we had but very good, and starches had good flavours. I can't say anything was too special or unique but for a farm to table experience that catered to some restrictions, it was tasty.“
