If you're visiting the province, one of the three Coldstream locations are a must visit. Nova Scotians LOVE their Coldstream. They are best known for their vodka and coolers but they make dozens of different products. Flavoured vodka soda, gin, cream-based liqueurs along with many other base mixes.
The vodka is nothing out of the ordinary but the locals are simple people and the products are great as a mix. Coolers are nothing special but great if you're looking for something light.
One of our favourite things here was the 'bar'. Samples are ALL free and they've got everything available to try. If you're sitting in, you can have cocktails made by the bartenders. Order from the menu or check out the rotating weekly cocktails.
The service here is a 10+. Staff is incredibly helpful, friendly and on the ball. Be sure to tip them! The one downside of this place and the reason for 4 stars is that the location is NOT accessible. A few stairs will take you up to the bar/retail area as well as washrooms. Merchandise all on the main floor. A bit surprising for a newer location but then again, accessibility is hugely lacking in the majority of this province. read more
