Wanted to have a good meal and drink here, got ignored by our waiter for 24 minutes after she took out drink orders because a table of regulars showed up. There was maybe 9 people in the entire restaurant before they showed up, everyone says the shoe isn't any good anymore, I wouldn't ever go back and would warn anyone from it too

It's the old pub from generations ago that's kept going. Live music good. Food til late.

It was a very spontaneous visit on a Friday evening. Staff was a little disorganized but so nice and thoughtful (she put coaster on our drinks while we were out for a cigarette). Food was really good and we enjoyed some drinks. It does look pretty worn dorn inside but the staff made up for it!

Hard to tell what the place is? Stayed for a minute. Describes itself as a cabaret which means that, despite offering a well advertised happy hour on various sites, they don’t accept minors without food purchase, which at 16:30-17:30. Something rather odd and our first across our Canadian holiday. To note for those thinking about making the walk down.

We spent our time at this place for the first time. We were treated friendly, warm and polite by Amelia. She took care of us and check in us couple of time to ensure we would get everything we needed.
Amelia is a great person and honest worker to this place, strongly recommend you to give this place a visit and ask for Amelia who will make your experience even better!

A core landmark of Downtown Halifax. Has been there for as long as I remember, and I've never had a negative experience here.

A Halifax classic. I had the mac & cheese and it was great! Traditional bar setting, lots of seating, and great staff!

Fish tacos were awesome tasting and good presentation. However, I thought they were part of the handheld menu and would come with fries but they do not. I don't recommend the butter chicken especially the GF option, came with nachos.
Service was excellent.
The restaurant has some wear n tear on the furniture which lends to its rustic character.

Great space for family meal. Atmosphere was good and people with a wide variety of eating habits and food preferences and food intolerances were able to find something to eat. Would return.

I had a reservation and waited and waited until the hostess sat us down. Then we waited some more until some came to take our order. Probably about 30 minutes from when we arrived to when we put our drink order in. After about 40 minutes we asked about the status of our order as we hadn't even gotten our appetizers. She said she forgot. Finally when our meals showed up it was the wrong item. Waitress seemed like she didn't want to be there, she didn't say thank you at all or even make eye contact with us. The food itself was cold, and overpriced for what we got.

Soooooo noisy, food is generally fine, i think the best thing on the menu is their mac&cheese in different variations. Fries are good too
