There was 50's jazz which added to the ambiance. Bar tender and servers were very friendly and attentive. Ordered a few special drinks. (See pictures). Overall a great speakeasy experience. Glad to have found one in Halifax.

We walked in said our password and they were 40 mins late on setting up on Saturday Halloween eve. Only servers can allow you in. Atmosphere is dungeon library with 1950s music. Drinks are $15-17 each. We ordered: - Grandma's Boy ($17): 3/5 similar to Old Fashioned. A very simple straight up old fashioned that didn't have much complexity. - The Last Barman Poet ($17): 3/5 tequila based sour. A bit savoury because of the spices. Not that complex either. Overall: Such as shame as the atmosphere is amazing. Compared to a lot of restaurants with cocktails, this one is pricier and less amazingly prepared. We were disappointed with the selections and that's why we only tried 2 and left.

The Drawing Room has become almost a regular piece of conversation and an assumed destination for…read moreme lately, thanks to the discovery of this secret bar on Yelp a month ago. Not yet is known about the upstairs-from-the-Henry-House bar yet other than it's wonderful decor and fancy drink menu. This isn't a beer-drinking spot, folks. This is where you go to feel important, share some drinks with a few friends and enjoy a couple hours of elegancy without feeling out of place. The Drawing Room has a timeless feel to it. You could be having a flashback to any period over the last hundred years and know that no matter what year you're in, you're enjoying it like royalty. The drink menu offers martinis, wines, and drinks of all sorts. I ordered a Burie'd Mojito, which was white rum, an assortment of berry juices and mint leaves. It was fantastic! My second drink was a vodka-based green lime drink that was just as delicious. Mind you, the drinks are $10+ so unless your wallet is loaded, don't come here to join it. Of course, the Drawing Room isn't the type of environment to get drunk but the drinks are made strong so be wary of your perception because you may be surprised once you stand up.

My favourite is a Negroni, a delicious blend of campari, gin and vermouth. A perfect place for a date night or a few drinks with some close friends.

The President of The Owl Club gave assurances he would fix the problem immediately and make the venue habitable for their big day, but ultimately no action was taken - demonstrating zero leadership on his part and a complete inability to follow through on his promises. If I could rate The Owl Club with a negative star count, I would. Every one of their members should take a long look in the mirror and think about what being associated with such a poorly run organization may do to their own reputation down the line.

Although I didn't count them, they menu included about 15 local beers, from lagers and ales to sours and two cast conditioned choices. If you can't decide, they offer 4 drink flight samplers. I had the house smoked porchetta toast, so good. The menu isn't broad but every item looked really good. Service is friendly and professional, very knowledgeable about the beer list. They offer hard liquor as well and I wish they focused on local fair as well since Nova Scotia is producing some great spirits. Not much to find a fault here, if you like beer!

I lost count on how many breweries we visited on this trip. I am surprised I'm NOT drunk. Well, we did walk miles and miles, lol. That can sober anyone quickly. 16 beers on tap, I tasted all the IPA's. All of which were good/okay. But then again, I have been drinking all day.... Food was available. But I am on a liquid diet, lol. Ambiance - See pictures. This was the last brewery we visited, so my memory has faded, lol. Cool modern decor. 2 floors/stories. Toilets on the bottom floor. Open 7 days a week. See website for specific hours. Yelp's hours differ. Service - Good. Price - $6.50 CAD + tax, $4.60 USD a pint + tax and tip.

We had such a wonderful experience at Henry's House!…read more The food was absolutely delicious. We tried the fish cakes and the fish and chips, while our children enjoyed the grilled cheese. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The fish was fresh, flavorful, and you could actually see generous pieces of real fish in every bite. And the fries deserve a special mention: perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and absolutely delicious! As Belgians, we're very picky about our fries, so that's about the highest compliment we can give. The desserts were incredible, worth saving room for! My favorite was the beer chocolate cake, which was simply outstanding. The service was just as memorable. Our server was genuinely friendly, attentive, and always made sure we were enjoying our meal. To top it all off, the owner was warm, welcoming, and delighted to share the fascinating history of this beautiful historic building. They've also done an amazing job with the design and atmosphere, making the whole experience feel special. A fantastic meal, wonderful people, and a beautiful setting. We can't wait to come back!

There's dining are on the first level and seemingly game room downstairs and an elevated bar area upstairs. I love the decor and the art work. It's such a vibe. I tried their lobster sandwich which different than anything I've had before. The picketed onion relish was soo good. I liked that the left the lobster alone. They didn't dress it in tons of butter or mayo, so you would really taste the lobster and cater it to how dressed you wanted it. The fries were great. The cod cakes were solid. They went very well with the baked beans surprisingly. I had never had this combo before. The best part of the meal was the seafood chowder with their home cooked bread. It had huge mussels inside and TONS of seafood, chunks of fish, clams you name it. It was soooooo good! I still think about it even back at home. Def come here. You won't be disappointed. Just make sure you get dessert as I didn't have any room this time around.

Sometimes you go somewhere without a clue what to expect and you leave feeling disappointed…read more.. This is not one of those times. As a pre-show get together for the Canada Heritage moments at the Carbon Arc (note to self: remember that review too), Meegan and I met some fellow yelpers here for some nosh and wine. We were the first to arrive (around 5ish) and if I can give anyone a little piece of advice about going to check this place out for the first time let it be this - that was the perfect time to be there. There were only a few patrons inside so we were able to get some great service (both fast and super friendly). As it is a music bar and grill they seem to have an extensive list of upcoming events but when we went all was quiet. While the menu can seem a little pricey we happened to go in during happy hour (4-6). Appetizers are 2 for 1, house wine $5 = Happy Tara! There seems to be a lot of talk about the grilled cheese sandwich this place serves up but Meegan and I opted to for the lamb lollipops ($10ish), the torpedo shrimp ($9ish but remember we were there for happy hour) and then shared the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich with Avocado ($11ish). It was plenty of food for the both of us and I really thought everything was very good. The house red was nothing to shake a stick at either (and three glasses later it was even better). I loved the look of the place. Dark wood and plenty of seating without feeling like you're bumping into one another. Located on the corner of Argyle and Prince it's looks to be an awesome place to hang out especially on the patio during the summer. If you go let me know how the grilled cheese sandwich is.

As mentioned below, the place is under new management and is now called The Perfect Pour. A new…read morecoat of paint was slapped on the wall and the menu whittled down, but the place is still the local watering hole for a hearty cast of regular booze-hounds. If you're not part of the crew, especially if you're under 45 (by quite a few years, in my case), it can be a little intimidating, because it's obvious you're sticking out like a sore thumb as Not A Regular. This is the kind of place where the head waitress, likely the owner's wife, rubs your back while asking, "What'll you have, hun?" No formality here. A modern jukebox sits in the corner for when there isn't a live performance to drown out any conversation. But that's just how the Saturday night regulars like it; the brew flowing and the music loud while they dance and slosh their beers about. Atmosphere-wise, this place definitely isn't for me, nor was it for my even-younger companions. But the food was surprisingly satisfying. I ordered a one-piece fish and chips. Handcut fries were a little limp, but really good. The fish was moist and flaky, and I loved the battered coating. The coleslaw was a little bland, though. One of my dining companions had a very large order of the fettuccini. I was impressed that it came with a side of real parmesan and toasted garlic ciabbatta instead of just plain buttered toast. It was a large portion, but it filled up the teenaged athlete, which is no small feat. A pound of wings was ordered off-menu, and seemed to be good too. If you're looking for value, this place should be on your radar: dinner for 5, including 4 beers, tax, and tip, was just under $65. I probably won't come back to this place anytime soon, or at least not on a weekend, because I felt uncomfortably out of place for my age and level of sobriety. Maybe after a beer tour or two, I could be convinced to try and blend in with the regulars... in a few years.

They even have a Clancy's sign on the wall... but don't serve it. Maybe it'll take some time for the new management/owners to spruce the place up, but I wasn't impressed at all. My meal was average, burger, fries, nothing wrong, just nothing special either. Service was slow (but we were a table of 7), though our waitress Colleen was a riot and very personable. The fact that I was with some "regulars" probably helped. Not sure if I'd go back... definitely won't make it a destination. Sorry Perfect Pour... I wanted to like you. No wi-fi, wheelchair accessible, but the washrooms are sketchy.
