Had drinks on a gloomy October day. And it was perfect to sit inside, sip on a great beer, and view the Lunenburg harbour from across.

This is easily the best view of Lunenburg with the best deck. It's worth experiencing. That being said, here are few points worth knowing:

1. The beer isn't great and is quite expensive. I recommend the Essential IPA. Other beers I've had have been skunky, flat, or tasteless. The ciders aren't great. And beer with Lobster juice in it? Nobody wants that.
2. There are no umbrellas on the tables despite having the holes for them. On sunny days it can get uncomfortably warm and the few shady tables fill up fast. It's an obvious and relatively cheap improvement to make the space more comfortable on hot sunny days. Sell the stag-mobile and buy some umbrellas.
3. Propane heaters for chilly evenings would also be a great addition for the shoulder seasons. The fire table is useless.
4. There is a cafe and eatery there that both play their own music and you can often hear both at once and it's really annoying.
5. Often they only have one person working the bar and at busy times (like trivia night) there can be a very long wait to get a beer.

* the food is run by a different venue called Boat House Bites. It can be hit or miss, but it's reasonably priced. Wood fired pizza is not bad for the price.
* the cafe is run by a different venue called The Barn and makes an amazing cortado. Coffee on the deck on a sunny summer morning is really special.

Really cool spot with great views of Lunenburg. Beers are good and the fish bites were great. But just sitting there on a nice sunny day is definitely time well spent!

View is fantastic. It takes 15 walk from the city center. Wide selection of beers. You can take tasting flight.
Not a big selection of food unfortunately. We took fish bites, delicious and fresh fish. I hope they have oysters too !

Nice out of the way place brewery with great view of Lunenberg and water, probably better for a frosty, tall one and a snack than a meal

Leah Moreau

It was really nice, good music and the beer is absolutely amazing. Bring a little something to cover yourself as it can get a little chilly with the bay winds :)

Beautiful location overlooking the historic town of Lunenburg. Great variety of flavours of beer and cider, and the “bites” were hot, fresh, and delicious!
