50 Best Bars near Lower Sackville

“Awesome drinks, great atmosphere and the staff are wonderful! I give my highest recommendation!!“

“NYE!!!!! Come and share it with us all at Terri's tonight!!! Looking forward to the NEW year and to do the countdown with everyone!!!!! :) CHEERS!!!“

“The food!!!! We had the Let the chef cook for you! Best value and most delicious meal you will ever have! Having the chef come out with the waiter to explain what was in each dish / course was also fun. They took extra care because of allergies too! And of course get a fancy cocktail, you won’t regret it 😉“

“🌿UPDATED:
They serve the best coctails in the city! Amazing taste and unbelievable, surprising ingredients! Respect! 💫

🙌THE FIRST REVIEW:
Ok, I suppose that Kismet was one of the Halifax's pearls...
But, from person who was there for the first time... I don't know.... The desert was terribly...cheap 😒 Sorry, guys, that's true. I'm not complaining, just don't serve the desert if you don't know how to do that.

Thought, cocktails were extremely good!!💫💫💫 Bartender was nice and service was awesome!🌟 Thanks for that!💕

One more thing... interior... Cheap old white plastic siding on the walls? seriously?... Please... It's 2025 now!
Btw, your exterior looks so good! Just paint the walls and ceiling inside, the same color, make the space more cozy and fresh.
Anyway, thank you!
Your team is great!❤️❤️❤️“

“Amazing food!!! Freshest oysters I’ve ever had!!! Service was impeccable!! You won’t be disappointed!“

“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!“

“Great spot with great rotating taps and excellent food. I was here during my first visit to Halifax in 2019 so it was top of my list to come back to. It’s still a prime space with a banger of a menu and friendly staff.

My only comments are it’s quite a dark space during the day even when it’s sunny out, so better for a dreary day or night hang if you’re after daylight vibes. The music when I was there was also quite eclectic and punk/emo-ish niche (and kind of loud), which is generally fine but was a bit odd.“

“They don't have much in the way of food but the dill pickle popcorn slaps. I have heard you can order food in. There was a very refreshing beer with mango and dragon fruit that is great for the summer.
We went for trivia night. I liked how they displayed the questions and options on the screen.
The atmosphere is very nice and the art in one of the bathrooms gave me a good chuckle.“

“Such a great family spot. We had kids and dogs and all were welcome.“

“Amazing live music atmosphere!“

“woke company. if you don't agree with them they will delete your comment.“

“This was a really cool spot. I did some looking on Reddit before going for dinner and didn't see this place as a recommendation - ended up trying it out as we happened to walk by. Very glad we tried it though! Our server was very knowledgeable and made recommendations based on flavour profiles which you don't see often. Everything was priced similar to other bars but the ingredients were clearly high quality. We had the beet salad, (bright, fresh, zesty), lamb burger, (hearty, rich, flavourful), and salmon (crispy, light, balanced). I'd definitely come back.“

“Friendly staff, prompt service, decent pricing and food is delicious!“

“Exceptionally intimate, romantic, & quaint with world class service. Wish it was open for lunch so I could go more often. Beauty place to have overlooking the lake between the City & the airport.“

“Great place to get away from the riff-raff of normal pubs, and just socialize with normal people.“

“Arrived lateish so not as busy or as loud as earlier hours would be. Our server Sarah was a delight. Attentive and accurate, chatty and friendly! Ordered a few mains and nachos as an appetizer. I think I'll go back just for the nachos! Sweet and salty, cheesy and delicious. Also, love tic tac toe on the table between courses!“

“Popped into levelbar after an afternoon of socializing.
The food - for pub food, was definitely on the higher quality side. Everything has good flavour and was well balanced in terms of salt. I had the chicken wings and an order of fries. Lots of food even though they are both side plates.
Service was fast and friendly.
The atmosphere was chill, it’s nice when places do a good job of acoustics and set the place up so sound is absorbed and you can hear the people you are hanging out with.
Would definitely return.“

“fantastic food service is great“

“🤟I haven't been back in a bit but recommend it to many it holds maybe 100 or so but it's like being at a home party with your best friends, support local please“

“Came upon Stillwell almost by accident. There were a lot of places to get a beer in the area but the Beergarden offered a unique and serene outdoor setting. The staff were great, the beers varied and delicious and the food options perfect. So glad we wandered by!“

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

“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.“

“I was meeting my cousin for the first time in many years and he selected this British Pub. Food was excellent, with one of the best chowders I have had for a long time. All the typical pub fare you would expect including a range of pies, curry and a very good special - Lamb Shank. Good beer menu and a decent bar/games room downstairs.“

“Always a great atmosphere!
Staff is always great.
I'd put their nachos against any in town!
Loaded with caramelized onions and bacon !!
Great spot for a business meeting but it's downtown Halifax, parking is going to be an issue if you're looking for street parking. Parkade next door will let you get there via the Pedway though.“

“Meal and service as amazing!“

“great food ,great people and great music!“

“Amazing food and service! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for great quality pub-style food! Will 100% be back!“

“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!“

“We had an awesome lip smacking dinner today. Authentic desi Chinese main course and great tandoori for appetizers. The masala fries was a sweet surprise which is a first time for us in halifax restaurant menu. Hope you keep serving great food like this thanks“

“Just a review about our experience at dooleys last weekend..it was such a great experience and our waitress Hayley she was nothing more than exceptional,she was very professional and extremely pleasant to talk too my wife just adored her. This is why Dooleys has suck a good reputation and it’s because of employees like Hayley we will most certainly be back to enjoy a great time.
Keep up the good work employees“

“Wow so so impressed! My dinner was amazing!!! There was a small issue with my butter for my lobster and it was replaced immediately and my dinner was taken off my bill! I didn’t ask for any discount it was just automatically done on the bill! Unexpected and surprised! Thank you will highly recommend!!staff were lovely! Great job keg Halifax downtown!! Signed Tina from Ottawa“

“I love whiskeys. I frequent it often. Amazing food, service and kind owner!“

“We had almost given up on finding parking in the area (super busy due to a music festival) but are VERY glad we did not give up.
The Brussel sprouts were some of the best we'd EVER had, and the bernaise and the chili combined for amazing flavours. The burgers (Pig Mac & deluxe) were tasty, juicy and full of flavour, and the fries were fresh cut and delicious.
Great selection of beers, and the service was attentive and friendly.“

“We loved the atmosphere and nautical ambience. The fish and chips and lobster rolls with fries was delicious!!! The lobster was fresh and the fries were crunchy! Our server Maggie was so nice and super friendly! We would definitely recommend this restaurant and go back again.“

“Great food and atmosphere.“

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

“Beautiful restaurant in an excellent location. The staff and very nice and happy to have any answers that you may have. It is a fancier restaurant (maybe dress up a bit) but isn’t pretentious. Our food came quickly, the drinks were very good (paid for 2 because it was so good) and we would definitely come back. Great place for a birthday, anniversary or special celebration.“

“last night Aug 13th , was our first visit . believe me it won't be our last. the staff was outgoing, attentive , friendly . they are amazing. the karaoke was amazing by Brandon the babe .... everyone should definitely check this amazing place out .“

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

“When we walked through the door we were greeted with smiles and kindness. My friend and I joined the beautiful patio on the glistening Halifax Waterfront for lunch. As many know this is a beautiful scene, but what makes it more of a sight is when you receive such smiles and service of kindness! This may not always be the case but what day doesn’t differ?Today was the definition of the experience and thoughts you always want to walk away with (along with great food) when you walk out the doors.“

“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“

“Dunno how anyone could not want to eat here. The food is great, the portion sizes are amazing! I had the surf and turf with calamari as a starter and LOVED it.“

“Went to this restaurant a few weeks ago. The Pho spring rolls and rice wrap was incredible! First time ever trying pho. I can’t stop thinking about it and can’t wait to go back. I think it’s my new fav place in the city. The staff were so kind, sweet and very attentive too. The restaurant is lovely. 5 stars for me 🤩“

“The live music made for a lively atmosphere. Beautiful old bank building which has been converted into a bar. It had the look of a higher end cocktail bar but don't be fooled. We had ordered an old fashioned, a dark and stormy, a whisky sour and a rum and coke. All of which were awful. Too sweet, too watery, and flat. Stick with beer and you will be okay.“

“Great atmosphere and harbour views, paired with excellent appetizers and drinks!“

“This location is beautiful! Quiet street, lots of parking, beautiful private yard on the lake. Main floor has a cash bar option and kitchen to bring your own food/caterer in.“

“Have gone here 3 time so far. New years, Fabulously rich and a random night. Great service, friendly and fast. Only downfall if they stop serving food at 9 and their food is very good. Always have a good time will continue to go on occasion.“

“10/10 every time I go. Service and food is wonderful and bailie is the best waitress, she is so funny and always has the best recommendations. Sheri is an awesome bartender and makes the best Caesar’s. The inside is decorated unlike anything I’ve ever seen and I would say this is easily my favourite place to go in the city.“

“great spot for cocktails.“
