We love Garrison! Great spot to drop in for a casual beer and take in the port vibes. Their patio seems to get sun much later than many other spots downtown, it’s our go-to if we’re looking for a sunny spot.
Also, huge shoutout to the staff who are always friendly. They even pulled up a few of the deck planks to retrieve my lost wedding ring - true hero’s! ❤️

Nice tasting selections available. Helpful staff.

Cool Brewpub right outside the cruise port at pier 20. Excellent selection of draughts. Coolers full of singles, sixers, and 12 packs. A good selection of non-alcoholic choices as well. A large sized merchandise store with all sorts of goodies. Great place to hang out until the last second before the gangway goes up. Great patio area to enjoy your choice. Cheers.

We dropped by on a weekday late afternoon so it wasn't too busy. Unfortunately, it's location is beside a busy road with lots of transport trucks and buses coming/going due to nearby port so it was quite noisy when sitting outside.
Maybe the vibe of the place is better in the evening but honestly, being located at the most southern end of the waterfront boardwalk seems to be a disadvantage. However, perhaps they hope to draw cruise ship passengers.
Ordered a flight of 5 different beers each about 4oz. I had the bartender choose the flavours - I wasn't overly impressed with the tastes.

Very expensive beer,is not a pint,small glass, maybe because is near the terminal cruise ship. If u walk 10min you got the same beer more cheap and a real pint

Garrison Brewing Co. really impressed us with its welcoming atmosphere and top-tier beer. We ordered a big flight to try as much as possible and ended up leaving with even more beer to enjoy later. Some standout brews for us were QueerBerry, All Lit Up, Hawaiian Crush, PB&J, Hoppy Boy, and Georgia Peach—so many fun and flavourful options.
And it’s not just the beer that caught my eye—I loved the merch so much, I left with a cool purple graphic tee that I’ll definitely be rocking back home.
Also dog-friendly! So we’ll be bringing our pup here when we’re back in the area.
If you’re brewery-hopping in Halifax, don’t skip this one!

Stopped here on a whim and I’m SO glad I did. The Blush berry cider was crisp, sweet, refreshing, and has become my favourite cider. Makes me really sad I can’t find any in Toronto!

Historic location with lots of great local beverages! Such a great place to go with friends and coworkers!

Great Beer! Great Atmosphere

Service was slow. Food was cold. Fish was old. Great location, but terrible experience.
Visited after walking down the boardwalk from our hotel. They had a great selection of beers for doing flights (my wife and I tried 9 beers and a cider). The staff were friendly and helpful as well. A good selection of cans to take away as well. Be aware there is no food (which was fine with me).

Visiting from Alberta and was disappointed to walk the entire waterfront only to be met with a disappointing experience. There is no signage saying that you must walk up to the bar to be served. The person at the front of house was on his phone, we were told we could sit at the bar and be served but that was not the case. Two girls working, one was laying on the floor with her feet up on the wall and the other talking to her. At one point who said “you have customers” but continued to stay talking to each other and laying on the ground. Neither thought to mention you have to walk up to the bar to get your drinks and then sit down. Terrible experience and most certainly won’t be back. There are plenty of breweries to support around this area! Don’t waste your time or money visiting.

Great spot with great beer for an afternoon pint or flight. Nice patio to enjoy some sunshine and sea air while in Halifax.

For someone who isn't a big fan of beer, their sour beer was delicious. Will order again.
