We chalked it up to "people are nuts when they drink." The owner told us" than stay out of the fuckin way" we were there for 30 min with an x-mas party sober as a judge. -management treated us in what I mentioned above as we were less then human and assumed we were drunk. Sadly for them missing out on an Xmas party that wanted to be in their bar. -understaffed( which wasn't the issue, we understood the girl being busy). rude bartenders( a friend went out of her way to be nice being from here and seeing her from younger years) every guy was served before one girl.when it was our turn three drinks were made wrong and pushed across to us in a way that half of our drinks were spilled. This place no matter what is renamed after dooleys, is the dive shit show money pit it's always been. keep your head on a swivel place. 19( though I wouldn't be surprised if younger) , drugged out, coke all over counters in the bathroom after ppl saw Vaseline on toilet seats( who knew they would notice that ) -bouncers were picked up from closed bars in town who all have criminal records and are just waiting for a reason to fight out back. Swear clear of this dive.

What a nice surprise to find such a great little craft brewery in Stellarton! Their beer is not…read moreavailable at the LC and only a few restaurants have it on tap, so if you're in the area, definitely check it out. The outside of the building is not overly appealing but it is accessible (has a ramp out front) and has a small patio out front. The location is a little off-putting at first as it's right on the road and kind of an industrial part of town - but it works. The inside is far more inviting with great seating options and a nice bar top to sit at. We were lucky to stop in when the owners were working who were very friendly and told us their story. The flights are super affordable and the beer was quite good. They also have a few other local options of cider and 0% drinks. A fun little fact about this place is that they do a book club and anyone can sign up. Truly a great little spot and worth stopping in.

Jungle Jims is the best on Wednesdays!…read more They have a "Wacky Wing Night"; for $16.00 (and beverage purchase) you can eat all you want! You start off with an order of two of your choice and then can keep ordering one at a time until you're stuffed! And, it's not just chicken wings; you can get onion rings, Thai chicken bites, garlic bread, home fries, sweet potato fries or my favourite, chicken taquitos. The taquitos can be ordered either fried or BBQ style. I've had both - the BBQ style definitely has more flavour. It's a pretty great deal and a family favourite when we're travelling.

This is a overpriced chain restaurant with mediocre food. There is an odd thing on the menu that…read moreyou may like but their burgers are processed and are actually formed because you can look at the shape of them, which is pretty pretty bad when it comes to you can't actually have a burger on, a menu with like a whole burger section I was actually pretty yeah pretty surprised it's definitely a place known for its atmosphere and its alcoholic cocktails but I will say I do enjoy the atmosphere because it is quite dark and has booths and it's private and great staff. I typically just played. It's even got fish and chips. They got lotta flak because they started serving cod instead of haddock which I'm perfectly OK with cod. Great actually, but not so much with many other people.

On my first visit to Monarch since moving back to New Glasgow, my wife and I came on the evening…read morethat they debuted their new spring/summer menu. The ABC salad was a tasty good mix - spring mix, roasted apples, bacon aioli, cheddar curds and cornbread croutons. The star of the show was definitely the bacon aioli which had a killer smoky flavour and elevated the dish. Pulled pork sandwiches have been an ubiquitous menu item for more than a decade, but Monarch did well by it with a savoury pork that wasn't mushy and overcooked and a red cabbage slaw that was flecked with coconut for a unique take on a standard pulled pork pairing (PPP). Bonus points to Monarch for the GF option for the bun, not to mention how much of the whole menu can be made GF! A side of crunchy thyme chips were everything you'd want in a chip and a nice textural contrast to the sandwich. My coconut haddock was a wonderfully well-executed dish - flaky fish and a crisp, coconut crust that wasn't *too* coconutty. A dill aioli added a tartar-esque flavour, and the roasted potatoes were an herby complement to the fish. The coconut slaw made another tasty appearance. On a return visit, we were there on one of Monarch's monthly wine nights. At four courses - each with a paired wine - and a $60 price tag, this has got to be the best quality per dollar in town! The meal started with a rhubarb and radish salad. The fresh, local veg and tart vinaigrette paired well with an acidic Ontario Riesling. For the main, a cut of Red Mountain beef tenderloin was *so* tender and although tenderloin isn't always the most flavourful cut, the quality of the locally-sourced meat stood out. Roasted veg and a pop of vegetal brightness from pea shoots rounded out a delicious dish. A Chilean Carmenere had a really unique flavour profile; I'm admittedly not familiar with the varietal, but it stood up well to the beef and was of great interest on its own. A cheese course eased our taste buds back down and an Australian chardonnay had a big enough flavour to hold its ground against the salty umami of the aged cheese. To cap our delicious meal, a loose apple and rhubarb tart, with a healthy (figuratively) dollop of whipped cream was a great send-off with mix of sweet and tart, and the crumble breaking up the soft apple and rhubarb. A lightly sweet sauv blanc with a hint of acidity finished off the wines. Monarch is a star on the local food scene and if you're not darkening their doorway, you're doing your taste buds a grave disservice.

We came in the early afternoon and it wasn't overly busy. Two servers didn't look overly interested in being there and were slow as slugs. There was a bartender mixing drinks who looked annoyed and a cook in the food truck who was the only one actually invested in what he was doing. Seating is flimsy and grinds on the concrete floors when you try to move. Tables were crammed quite close together because a musician eventually came in to set up. The space just generally looks poorly used. Our server took a long time coming over to bring us a pitcher of beer and then again to take our food order. The glassware was dirty so she apologized and brought new glasses. By the time we poured the beer, we noticed the pitcher was even filthier. Not sure if they ever wash them. The food is just ok. Nothing to write home about. Portions are on the smaller side. $14 was the Super Bowl special for a small bacon cheeseburger with nothing else, no side. $19 for fish and chips is a bit of a better deal because the fish is big but it's quite greasy. Fries were hard and stale and not really a generous portion - don't opt to pay $4 for them as a side! We watched the cook push out orders and wait around for the servers to pick them up. He'd look out trying to get their attention and seemed completely unimpressed with them. Other than brining our drinks and food, the server didn't bother to come by once in the hour + we sat at the table. When she finally came for us to pay, she seemed terrified to have to talk to a human. Overall, just a weird vibe for a place like this. This could be a great spot but it didn't leave a great first impression. Might give it one more shot next time we're in town, but we won't be ordering food. We'll see how long it takes to get an (overpriced) cocktail.

Stopping in for lunch, I went with their soup and half sandwich. For the soup, I got the daily special, hamburger, and tacked on a turkey sandwich. Oddly, for the sandwich they asked if I wanted lettuce, salt or pepper...and that was it. I guess Gram is staunchly against tomatoes! The sandwich was decent - chunks of actual roasted turkey breast, not sad, slimey slices. It was a bit more minimalist than I'd like, but the good meat and fresh, house-made bread definitely elevated it. The hamburger soup was rich and hearty, with a peppery bite. On a return visit, I was there during breakfast hours. They don't actually have a proper breakfast menu, but I grabbed a glazed cinnamon roll and a coffee. The cinnamon roll was very good - fluffy and fresh, with the added decadence of the icing. The coffee was...what you might expect from an old school bakery in a small town, but it was hot and cheap, so I can't complain.
