Pretty good place for a dive bar. They have pool tables, juke box, and free comedy on Tuesday…read morenights. The comedy isn't the funniest thing in the world, but hey it's free and something to do on a Tuesday night! The drinks are pretty reasonably priced. I wouldn't come here for the food unless you love bar food. I had the nachos for my meal and my husband had the Philly steak poutine. He loved the poutine because he does love bar food. I have a sensitive stomach so the nachos were quite unpleasant for me. If I could redo my Tuesday night, I would eat food elsewhere, and come here for just the drinks & live comedy.

If anyone is thinking of paying them a fee to hold onto your coats my only advice to you is avoid…read moreit at all costs if possible and save yourself the money otherwise risk losing your coat and receiving intimidation tactics from the bouncers and security. I have been here a few times and I had decided one time to use the coat hanging services. I paid the fees, took a number and They put that same number on my coat so they know what belongs to who, simple right? I guess not because at the end of the night when I'm ready to head home I go to pick up my coat and they tell me they accidentally gave it to someone else, the coat that had an identification number and yet THEY GAVE IT TO THE WRONG PERSON. The coat wasn't cheap either and yet even though the coat girl admitted that it's completely on her for giving it to the wrong person I was offered NOTHING, zero compensation and zero real accountability. Instead the security in their infinite kindness opted to sweep the situation under the rug despite my distress and tell me there's nothing they can do now about it so i should leave. So Im now writing this review one coat short of what i used to have, hoping people will see this review and learn from my experience.

The Dome... Many late nights on the dance floor for many. Like others have said if the walls could…read moretalk. Many changes over the years have taken place from having a bouncer to having someone almost frisk you. I know times have changed but I know other locations do not do that. The Dance floor is WAY to small, tyring to dance on that floor is dam near impossible. On a Saturday night it is standing room only. Normally when I am at the Dome I stay within the walls of Cheers and do not venture out in to the kinder-garden bars where they are supposed to be 19 yeah ok. Dome does have some great bands to enjoy and it is always excitement when you do down.

On a cruise stop in Halifax, we were drawn to this restaurant by their fabulous sounding menu and…read moreboy were we glad. Our lunch experience was exceptional. The ambiance is warm and inviting, our Server was terrific. And oh my, the food couldn't have been better. From the complimentary focaccia to our mains, wow good! I had the Crab-stuffed Ravioli with Shrimp in a Limoncello cream sauce and Husband had the Shrimp Fra Diavolo. We agreed it was some of the best cooked shrimp we've ever had. And the pastas were outstanding. Highly recommend!

Charlie's is a pretty chill place to go hang out and have a few beers…read more The crowd can be a little rough around the edges but I guess the university throngs have pretty much pushed the average drinking man out of every other bar in Halifax. Pool tables are a nice addition... I wasn't really sure what the $2 cover was going towards besides upkeep? A grungy/funky spot in the North End that's for sure!

This is not a tourist bar, unless you are a linoleum architecture tourist, or a $2.75 tequila shot…read moretourist, or a tourist of watching tight knit groups of locals sit around in circular formation. Charlie's is where you go when you want to go to Cheers. (Not the Cheers on Grafton St., the Cheers on TV according to your 6 y/o mind, which is really just the the theme song, fuzzy visuals, and conflating real life people with Cliff and/or Rhea Pearlman.) In short, it's where you go when you come home nostalgic and want to see all your old friends, enthusiastically buy each other drinks like it's a genuine gift, dance to one of those weird new electric blue jukeboxes, shout and pontificate around a pool table, and generally have a back slappin, squeezey hugging, chortling little time. The decor is like any affordable house, only the door has a key code and a woman sits at a table with a guest book when you come in. This does not make you feel cool, but it does make you feel like life is funny. The bartender is so used to over-friendly drunk patrons that nothing can melt him. I imagine that deep in his core is something more kind than anything I have ever known, but it is too precious to be shared. The last time I came here, someone apologized for asking me to dance when I turned him down. Apologized. For my rejecting him. A dark little mineshaft to the salt of the earth this place is, lemme tell ya.

During our dinner the artist was Morgan Davis and he was an amazing Blues artist. We ordered a burger and a wrap and then sat back to enjoy the music and the evening. The wrap was just what I wanted, the beef was tender and the mushrooms were so tasty. My hubby really enjoyed his burger as well. Our server was very efficient, and brought our food and drinks out very quickly. She was very sweet and came back often to make sure that we didn't need anything else. Since the music rotates nightly, there's a very good chance, we'll be back.

We were in the North End and wanted to grab a quick bite. Gus' pub was right across the street so I…read moresaid "why don't we just go there?" She was skeptical because she never knew of anyone who actually ate there before. We've both been to shows, but had nothing more than beer! First glace at the menu and I was shocked. It does have your average pub style food... but the prices were so, so cheap!! and they were listed to INCLUDE tax! A hamburger and fries for like $5.50?! Fish and chips for $6.25?! Insane!! Insanely good! I got the fish and chips (I'm turning into my father, ordering it wherever I go, uhooo!). The pieces were large and the batter was perfect; you could tell the fish was fresh. The chips were home made and delicious. We were the only people in there besides the few gamblers in the games room and the staff. So, obviously our server was super attentive and speedy; he filled our water glasses for us about 4 times! It was awesome. I feel like Gus' pub is like the hidden gem of greasy pub style food. I will definitely return!
