14 Best Wine Bars in Halifax

“We stopped into this wine bar while waiting to go to Neptune Theatre, and it was a lovely experience. The wine itself was okay, but the chocolate mousse dessert was absolutely delicious, so much so I forgot to take a picture. We didn’t try any of the other food, but everything we saw (and read on the menu) looked great - we’d happily return to try more next time.

The atmosphere was wonderful: relaxed, cozy, and perfect for a drink with a friend or a partner. Overall, I would recommend this spot. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy a nice evening out.“

“We came here just for drinks and did not have a chance to explore the food — maybe next time. The cocktails we tried were simple but very delicious, and our bartender was friendly, kind, and helpful with recommendations. Looking forward to coming back and trying the food as well.“

“Peacock is a beautiful restaurant with a lovely ambience and it's a great place to enjoy happy hour. NS bubbles are $5 off per glass before 6:00 and there is a nice range of bar snacks. The other great thing about happy hour is that the restaurant is lively, but not so noisy that you can't hear the other people at your table speak.“

“Best lounge I’ve been in Halifax thus far!“

“We were celebrating our anniversary and looking for a special place. Everyone said go to the Bicycle Thief. We were not disappointed. The food and wine were superb. We loved the lobster risotto. Katie, our server, was amazing. We can’t wait to return. Thank you for a fantastic dinner.“

“The pizza Lou Fada and Lou Buou were delicious. Our server Solana was lovely, informative and obviously enjoyed serving. It was so nice to see Cedric chat with patrons at the tables and check on his guests. A great dinner. Thank-you.“

“The smokehouse and old school smash burgers were both SO good! Thoroughly enjoyed our burgers with the parm fries. Friendly staff that worked their butts off on a busy night with only 3 on staff. Very nice atmosphere as well. Would highly recommend!“

“The cocktails are fabulous and unique and it’s great to watch them prepare the drinks and food with such expertise and finesse“

“Absolutely amazing Italian food, a beautiful restaurant and delightful service!! I couldn't recommend it more highly!“

“A Hidden Gem!

Reta's is a delightful spot where every dish bursts with flavor and the service is always warm and welcoming. From the first bite to the last, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. It's a quiet, cozy place that lets you truly enjoy your meal and the company you're with. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing dining experience with amazing food!

I wish the plating of the duck dish would be a bit different. We couldn't enjoy the sauce much without ordering the sourdough bread. Also if spoons were provided without asking as the sauces go to waste and we cannot enjoy them with the fork so the amazing sauces are wasted.“

“If you would like an amazing culinary experience then you should definitely try the Barrington Steakhouse! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. The staff were absolutely incredible. The host, the server, the bartender were all so great and made our dinning experience unforgettable. The food though, was definitely where the term “chef’s kiss” must have originated from. It was quite evident, that the chef takes pride in all of the dishes. The Beef Wellington well exceeded my expectations. Definitely 5 star rating!“

“We had our small wedding group here for dinner post ceremony. It was the perfect space (the Rhino room) and fit all 27 of us. Booking was easy, the staff and food was fantastic and delicious. And they were so accommodating to our guests with allergies. Cannot recommend it enough!“

“Great place for a drink. Martinis are amazing.“

“great spot for cocktails.“
