Lot Six had always been on my list of "To Try with my Dear". We went during the Happy Hour on Friday. The atrium would not open until regular time at 6. We sat at the table area with dim light. People kept coming in. I'd say the place is fairly popular. 6 drinks and 6 snacks to choose from. I went with Cherry Cobbler and it was just right for a light drinker like myself. I also had a sip of my partner's "something like mojito". It was bit too dominated by the flavor of mint, which was not my cup of tea. Snack was mussels with a slice of bread. There was also bacon in it, making the sauce richer and more delicious. I just wished there had been more bread :P Service was good. The young lady who brought us food and drink was really nice. Despite all the construction mess going on nearby, I like this place and would love to try the atrium in the future~ read more

This is such a cool spot! The atmosphere is amazing. I love the windows. The music is good, but not too loud - we could actually have a conversation! They serve food as well and it was very good and came quick, Especially considering how busy they were. I highly recommend this as a place to meet up for drinks with friends or for business. I really enjoyed it. One of the more classy places in Halifax! read more

One of the first places I stopped by after landing in Halifax. The $20/dozen happy hour oysters are a must. They offered a nice local selection that was super fresh with nice accompaniments. I would've ordered more if it weren't for the dinner menu. The "solarium" we were seated in was great. We could look out through the glass ceiling during our meal and it offered a nice atmosphere. We started off with the mussels in a cream sauce, which were juicy and full of flavour. For our main, surf and turf. The pork belly was crispy, tender and the scallops were seared nicely. Our cioppino was just okay. The seafood was cooked nicely, but the stew was a bit bland. Overall, good service and food, definitely worth the trip! read more

I'm disappointed with Lot 6 unfortunately. We went one night for drinks at the beginning of winter and in my reservation I had requested a table in the atrium. We were seated against the wall under a low ceiling looking out at the atrium. We decided not to fuss about it and accept the table given to us, but we each went out into the main area of the atrium beneath the glass roof to see what it would have been like had our table been there like we had been hoping. We all agreed it would have been better under the glass roof. Still, we had a nice night and enjoyed the drinks and service and decided next time we will be a little pickier on where we sit. I follow Lot 6 on Instagram and the photos of their weekend brunch (eggs benedict) look very good. Last weekend I was downtown with 5 friends and we were looking for a place to eat. I fought for Lot 6. I got my way. I knew we couldn't guarantee an atrium table but I was hopeful. When we showed up we were asked if we had a reservation. Finding out we did not, the waitress said, "Hmm . . ." as if that was a problem, and went away to try to find us a table. When she returned she told a coworker, "No more walk-ins." We felt a little uncomfortable and unwanted. We were not seated in the atrium. In fact, the atrium is closed for brunch. Huh? We were seated at a table in a room to the right as soon as you walk in. There were not many people there but the waitress was alone and appeared stressed. We waited a long time and all took turns going to look at the atrium from the step. It's beautiful in there. Why isn't it open? Oh well . . . The waitress was barely keeping her patience in check taking our orders, and when she served us coffee it was splashing out of the cups and drops were hitting our laps/shirts. One friend recoiled from her so as not to get splashed, getting splashed anyway. We were kind of laughing about him getting splashed and casually mentioning that it was happening, like it was no big deal, trying to make it pleasant. Waitress didn't apologise or seem to even notice. The coffee was weak. You could see the bottom of the cup through it. It looked like tea. It tasted how it looked. After trying to choke it down and be silent about it (the waitress was agitated so we didn't want to make things worse for her or make our wait for our food any longer than it was going to be) one of my friends asked if there was something wrong with the coffee. The waitress got a little defensive but said she can make a stronger pot. Another friend then took the opportunity to tell her there were grinds in it as well. The waitress said something like, Well, when you're using fresh grounds that's hard to avoid. Hm... She left slightly annoyed and we were like, "You upset her," to my friend who mentioned the grinds. The next batch of coffee was a little better. She said she put espresso in it to fix it... Still it splashed on us as it was poured. Personally I think a pot of coffee should not need espresso added to it to fix it and should not be that weak at a place advertising brunch. Coffee should be right the first time--doesn't need to be amazing, but should be passable. Grinds in the cup isn't the end of the world but isn't typical of a properly made coffee, unless a mistake in the brewing process was made. But okay . . . We waited a long time for the food, though it didn't seem particularly busy. Unfortunately I didn't like my eggs benedict. The hollandaise had that strong vinegar taste that might be natural and how it's supposed to be when it's homemade, but I don't like it too vinegary. I like it creamy and rich, not sour. When I got home I saw a post from Lot 6 on social media urging followers to come in for the weekend brunch. I unfollowed. I'm not mad; just not interested anymore. I wanted to like this place for the amazing-looking bar, the atrium, the variety of drinks - they even regularly carry my favourite gin, (Plymouth) so it's not that I won't be back for drinks sometime, maybe, but I won't be fighting for it again, and have no desire to try the brunch again, especially knowing the atrium will be closed. read more

Lot Six. I wanted to love you. After my first experience, I guess I'll settle for a strong feeling of like. You can't beat the cozy rough stone walls. I've loved the space through its many incarnations...Rosa's Cantina, Wooden Monkey, Pipa...to name a few. If those walls could talk, oh the stories.... We were in for dinner. My friends started with oysters, but since the shellfish does not like me I opted for the seared tuna. I'll blame my inattention to detail of the menu description for not realizing the dish would be comprised of far more rice than tuna. The giant fried log of sticky rice was interesting but more starch than I was looking for as a starter but perhaps fine as a small plate. The tuna portion seemed quite small in comparison, and although tasty, the sear edged closer toward overdone. For mains, my friend and I both had the flat iron steak with bone marrow. The steak was cooked a perfect med-rare and was well seasoned. The marrow just added to its decadence. The veg were absolutely delish, carrot confit and the honey carrot purée was the absolute bomb. I wanted to lick my plate. Our other companion had the pork chop, which I must say looked amazing, however he said it was a little dry. That said, he wasn't offering to share, so maybe it was a ploy. So, why like and not love? The details....our server was knowledgeable and very pleasant, but so busy that discarded oyster shells and used plates were left sitting on the table long after we'd finished. We had to ask for more water. The room is charming and lighting sets a mood, but during our dinner the lights were lowered three times, to the point we could barely see the food we were eating. Thank heavens for white plates! The food was good, perhaps a little pretentious, but hey there's so many awesome places to eat I give Lot Six props for their twist on casual fine dining. I like you. I just don't love you. And that's okay. read more

I don't have enough time in my day to write the extensive review this place needs. I LOVE it here. when I walked in during opening week, I was pleasantly greeted by the door person. so nice and always willing to take your seating requests. it felt like a personal experience and not the usual behavior of a host. I opted for the bar for my friend and I as we mostly chose this place for drinks and we enjoy watching the bartenders work. the place is gorgeous. the bar is gorgeous. the other rooms are gorgeous. the staff are great. and the washrooms are great (as well as gender neutral!). but the very best part of this place....the liquor. oh wow. when I sat down and count 7 different gins, I was blown away. then when I got to talking with the bartender, he said they had more and kept pulling up more from the basement. I think I saw 11 in total and I'm sure there were more. the bartender was so accomodating. I loved getting a bottle of fever tree tonic that u could split between my different gins. it was delicious. N. chose to order from the cocktail list and they did not disappoint. the prices were fantastic for the quality. they easily could charge more like Noble but they don't. and I love that. the only downside is the food. yes it's a small menu. that didn't bother me. yes it seemed creative. that's great. but the food said it was intended for sharing and I thought the portions were much too small. the charcuterie board was delightful with special additions like rosemary soaked apples, but overall it was a tad too pricey for the portions. I thinm field guide has a better balance when it comes to food. but as you can see I'm obsessed. I hope they maintain their awesomeness. read more

With raw oysters, freshness changes everything. Having oysters in a place so close the fishing places is a definite advantage and this place take full advantage of that. I must confess that my taste for oysters is relatively recent. This is something I discover only 4-5 years ago. I usually get those in seasons from place such as "La mer" in Montreal. They got fresh oysters, but still, it takes a few days to get it from the sea to the table. Here in Halifax, you can get it within hours. And the taste if different. Same varieties taste less salty and little sweeter when fresher. The place is big and trendy. They have good volume of customer with insure that you get your seafood fresh. We had the oysters, but also some mussel and french fries followed by a mixed seafood plate. We drank an excellent local white wine and had a wonderful night, truly immerse in local produces. Service was great and attentive. ... and oh, BTW, downtown Halifax is a wonderful place! read more

4-6p oyster happy hour. Do not miss out. We ate, we drank, and we chatted it up with their staff. The bartenders are fantastic and can teach you a lot about the oyster selection and some great wine options. I'd recommend inquiring about the sparkling choices. read more

Took my mom here for happy hour and snacks. We really wanted to sit outside since fall will soon be here. It was actually really pleasant. The happy hour menu was somewhat limited though and you kind of have to choose between a couple of really sugary cocktails, none of which I was in the mood for. The happy hour oysters were a steal at $2/pop and I thoroughly enjoyed them. We also had a very nice chenin blanc white wine, although the name escapes me. Our service was impeccable. read more

Generally, I like my whiskey without frills of any kind outside of one of the oldest frills known to man (ice). I decided to let the boys behind the bar at Lot Six give it a go. They're passionate about mixology and clearly know what they're doing. Plus, the bar feels so classic and sleek. It's also cool to try drinks invented over 150 years ago. read more

The Artic Char was amazing! Everything on that plate complements each have other. The sauce is a nice mix of maple and a little bit of a spice to it. Sunday night during 8pm to 10 pm they have 6 oysters for $10. Try the French toast for dessert, it's heaven! Staff there are so friendly and sweet. Definetly would come back here! read more

Made quick stop for some happy hour oysters and cold local beer. Was a really great spot and accommodating staff. Handsome selection of booze, wish I had time to explore cocktail menu. Definitely will return if I make it back to Halifax. read more

Food is good. Our waitress knowledge was not that great but she really tried. Portion is small for the price they charge.

Lot Six had a great atmosphere and amazing Oysters! I was in Halifax for 5 days and went here twice! The first night I went for Oysters which is a must if you are in the Maritimes and they were mouth watering! They were so fresh and tasty! It was like they were caught literally after I ordered them and prepared for me! These Oysters were so friggin good I came back on my last day for Happy Hour Oysters and they tasted phenomenal once again! The drinks are wonderful and have rave reviews. I ordered the Mud Slide cocktail and it did not disappoint. The vodka sprite I ordered was shaken to perfection with a hint of Mint. Yum-E! I also had the crab cakes and mussels and of course they were alllll amazing! The service is wonderful which is something you will always find in Friendly Nova Scotia and they had some great tunes playing in the background as well. Lot Six is definitely on my Must Visit list next time Im in Halifax! read more

Three words...oyster happy hour! If you are a fan of sea food, this is not something you want to miss! Lot Six has a nice atmosphere and an extensive drink menu. The oysters vary by the day and are astounding. I could have done with lower prices though, especially for the location around much cheaper places. This place attracts a casual crowd with sit-down, fancy meal prices. Wait staff is typically slow, especially when seated outside. read more

Best fusion restaurant in Halifax. From Korean kimchi rice w steamed pork belly, Chinese steamed bun to Peruvian scollop ceviche. You can feel the chef's pouring her/his heart into each dish. The pairing white wine was very refreshing and it went well with the fresh Nova Scotia oysters. read more

Great service but everything else was just meh. The linguini were sour (sadly, otherwise good), the mussels had too many different flavors and no juice, and the fries were just ok (aioli was bland). The Oysters were 3 bucks a piece; they tasted alright but were minuscule. We wanted to like it here but we can only award a meh+. read more

Very disappointed. Went here on Saturday to eat on their patio. Sat out there for a while. No one else was sitting on their patio. That should have been our red flag. One of us went inside to get someone's attention and they just brushed us off and still didn't come out to give us menus or anything. We left and went to another patio. Really sad that they were not having good service on such a beautiful NS day. If I was the owner I would be very upset with the staff. read more

Expertly balanced. Spending a lot of time in the Toronto food scene, we're kinda hard to impress. That said, this place was spot on. Portions are slightly larger than tapas style, allowing you to try multiple dishes. Whoever renovated this old building is a genius. The stone structure with the lush greenery and exposed timbers along with the jazz band and artisan barkeep collectively gave the feel of an underground speakeasy. The menu was selective, but well curated to have a mix of flavors and textures without giving too many options to choose from. I literally could have been thrilled to receive any dish on that menu. We ended up choosing 4 raw oysters (exceptionally fresh), 2 baked oysters (which this nigh had cheese and mushroom), bahn mi -amazing creamy peanut sauce against the salty sweet pork and tangy Kimchee, followed by sticky ribs -fork and knife tender, followed by another round of fresh oysters -too good. DO NOT skip the sweets. The cranberry meringue was well worth it. You won't find another like it. read more

This is known for its cocktail bar and the beautiful atrium. Unfortunately the day we went, the atrium was closed for the night. We opt to give it a try anyways and was seated in the study room which was nice. We tried the dark and stormy and Moscow Mule. Both drinks were very tasty. We also ordered a dozen oysters and the smoked seafood platter. Unfortunately the oysters and smoked seafood plate was just okay. The oysters were not as fresh as the ones we had at Press Gang the night before and the seafood platter didn't have anything that stood out. We would come here for drinks again but just skip on the food next time. read more

We went for our anniversary dinner and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The wait staff was very good, we managed to squeeze in 18 oysters while on happy hour and a couple cocktails; excellent revers manhattan. The oysters were very good but there was the odd one with shell pieces in it - I know, it happens. My hubbie had the Vegetable Chana Masala and he was very happy with it. I had a taste and really enjoyed the Pakora; so nicely spicy. I had the Sous Vide Beef Cheek and it was very very tender; fall apart tender. It came with sweet potato puree which was very nice. Overall the dish was very good but not appealing to the eye. We had a really good time and I'd go again early as we got to sit outside and it wasn't terribly busy; just enough to know it was a good spot to go. read more

Let me just say first that the food was outstanding! I had a vegan zucchini cannelloni dish that was spectacular and the oysters, of course, are always five-star. We were, however, disappointed with our server. She was sweet and admittedly there were eight of us so I appreciate that that is a lot to manage, but she didn't check on us very often. It wasn't very busy when we came in and still we waited about a half hour for our drinks. The biggest complaint from all of us was that a dessert menu wasn't offered! All eight of us would have destroyed dessert and had dessert coffees to boot. I have been there before and had very knowledgeable and attentive servers so I'm assuming this was a one-off. read more

Was recommended this place for decore/ambience and the great food One out of two The Resturant is great and the atrium space is fantastic The food was not great had surf and turf one of the Resturant special my wife had the beef cheek Pork Belly and Scallops in Surf and Turf grossly overcooked Could not finish and was not asked if it was ok My wife's beef cheek again overcooked and dry Ordered desert and they bought out the wrong order Sweet Patato Pie which was just ok Disappointed read more

Lot Six - Loved the original cocktails here. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Came in later in the night for a couple of drinks and would definitely recommend Lot 6! Inside has a cool decor and all the staff was super welcoming. Had some wine and cocktails at the bar and the quality was definitely worth the price. Also saw that they have oyster happy hour from 4-6pm read more

It took 45mins to get a drink, and 2hrs to get food. The food was very average, not bad, but not particularly good either. The waiter that took over after we complained was great, and he gave us a free glass of wine, but it still took a very long time to get our food. The beers were not very cold and pretty flat. The lamb was fine, just not great. I feel like I could have made something just as good at home. Pretty disappointing read more

In town for the CSRT and find then on Yelp. Good location and atmosphere. We arrived at 815 for our dinner and at 1057 still waiting for the bill. Menu only has limited choices. Started with Oysters- which were very good, then a few salads- also good. For main we had Artic Char, the lamb and skirt steak- all were OK. Nothing to write home about and the staff seems to think they are much more important then the customers!!! read more

Okay food was a 10 out of 10. , service was literally a 1 out of 10 . Had to ask for eating utensils twice , my wife was on her last bite by the time my food came out. Very poor service, not even busy . read more

Cool spot. Love the atrium. Staff always friendly. Food and drinks are good. Probably my favourite place in Halifax.

We spent a Sunday evening at Lot Six and it was a great experience. We were sat at the bar, and the staff was really nice. They gave us advices on the menu and were friendly to all the customers. We had the "dirty burger", the chef's mussels and a cup of chowder accompanied by a local IPA and we liked the whole meal a lot. A nice place to spend time with friends: they also have many platters to share! read more

After drooling over their instagram posts for a few weeks I finally got the opportunity to try Lot Six while out with a friend and everything from the oysters, to the wine, to the service was excellent! Our oysters were beautifully presented and our server was very knowledgeable about the different varieties even letting us sample a few to see which we preferred. I would highly recommend trying out Lot Six if you haven't already. An excellent addition to Halifax for sure! read more

Poor service followed by the server bringing our appetizer and main course at the same time - we sent back main course so we could enjoy our appetizer. Later when our chicken and waffles entrees came out they were stone cold. The server offered us a discount equal to what an employee discount would be on one entrée of the table of three Definitely do not recommend this restaurant read more

I REALLY wanted to like this place. I went last night with some friends and we had a reservation for 8 o'clock. We were told our table would be ready in a minute and we waited for 40 minutes. We did wait at the bar and our drinks were very tasty. Food was very slow to come out for us. It did did not come out until almost 10 (which I think is a bit ridiculous considering we had an 8 pm reservation). My friend did not enjoy her pork chop. She says it was burnt and she could only taste charcoal. I ordered the lobster pasta and could not really taste much lobster. The fried chicken was delicious. The ambience of this restaurant was amazingly beautiful, but for the price we felt the quality of food was not great, and we were not checked on by our waitstaff to really comment on our displeasure. My friends work in the service industry and were a bit shocked that after such a long wait for our table (with a reservation) that we were not offered a free drink or app (or really much of an apology). A table of 6 walked in after us and got a table right away with no reservation at all! read more

I generally prefer to write positive reviews but felt compelled to say SOMEthing about Lot Six, given all the hype and everthing. Sadly, I was disappointed. And I had such high hopes! The atmosphere is lovely (clearly it's still a current hot spot) and our server was friendly and attentive, but the food...and I don't know about you but that's the main reason I go out to eat...to enjoy the food...left much to be desired. I suspected I would be disappointed when there was literally nothing on the menu that I wanted. I was starving so that's really saying something. After nearly 30 mins of deliberation, I didn't even order an entree. I don't think this has ever happened to me. I did order a few oysters which were OK but I did not care for the weird balsamic blueberry condiment. Call me low class, but bring on the cocktail sauce. Thank you! It didn't help that the wooden box they were served in leaked melted ice all over our table, eventually drenching everything until the water started running down into our laps. That was fun. I also ordered the seared tuna appetizer. Again, not entirely bad, but a microscopic portion and as for taste, it was just meh. I did get to sample the beef cheeks my friend ordered. They were tender but totally tasteless. My other friend who ordered the flank steak was also disappointed. Poor thing ended up gagging on the disturbing "poached bone marrow" (ew!) which totally ruined her appetite. I was glad I didn't spring for a main. $65 later...and this was with NO main and maybe two small glasses of wine, and where do we end up (because we were all still starving)? Pizza corner. Nice. read more

Had an incredibly delicious night at Lot Six. It is much more spacious than imagined and decorated with a soft glow. It's definitely got a romantic vibe. As for dinner, my husband and I shared oysters and an array of beautiful meats and cheeses. Presentation of food was impeccable. The food just melts in your mouth. The cocktails were strong and distinctly unique in flavors. Our server made the night so great just by being so kind, prompt, and attentive. read more

Hands down, the best seafood chowder I have ever had. And folks I've had many over lots of years. Only wish I didn't live so far awsy.

Decided to try this because we heard about it on a blog, was not disappointed ! Everything was amazing we got the happy hour oysters, duck cassoulet and short rib they were both very good we will definitely be back ! read more

I have been here twice and have been underwhelmed with the food. Perhaps it is because I'm a vegetarian, but at a decent restaurant this should not be an excuse. I love the ambiance and the service is good but the food for me has been subpar at best. My boyfriend eats meat and he isn't particularly wowed by this place either. It's a shame because it's so beautiful inside. read more
