Delicious food, relaxing ambiance. The drink menu is fantastic and the wait staff offered excellent pairing suggestions with my meal.

The freshest and best selection of oysters in Halifax, Lot Six consistently proves itself as one of the best cocktail restaurants in Halifax. Having undergone some staff changes since opening, the tapas menu is gone and now the focus is on flavor and fun. With the most knowledgeable bartenders in the city, they can fix you up anything you feel like, my suggestion, the off menu: Maid in Cuba. 2012's bacardi world cocktail winning drink. The bar is fully stocked with fresh fruit juices, juiced every day, syrups, bitters and whatever you can dream of. The combination of having four chefs in the kitchen and the best bartender team in the city leads to Lot Six becoming an unbelievable experience, and I haven't even started on their atrium. read more

I should point out that the chef here is a close friend of mine, but that isn't really a conflict of interest because I only develop friendships with brilliant people. The food is delectable, so try the oyster tacos and expand your universe. Olivia will blow the cobwebs out of your mind, the wait staff are good at answering questions (something tells me that these menu items inspire more questions than usual), and the decor is cool because you can go here with friends and feel like you're in a scene from Carlito's Way, which is all anyone really wants from restaurants and from life. read more

Great spot for 30+ crowd that still like to go out. Liked the service and accommodating options for cocktails presented. Fairly pricey, so be prepared to shell out over a couple of hours. The crowd can be pretentious, but occasionally people crack a smile by accident or something. read more

Stopped in for a post-meal cocktail. The selection of cocktails was great and the service, particularly David, was excellent. The atrium is beautiful - I highly recommend this spot for a drink. read more

The cheese board was delicious and is quite generous (we shared it between 4 people) and the drinks are unique and delicious. Service was great, atmosphere is phenomenal and we had a great time. We were also quite happy with the price. read more

Pub-feel with high-caliber food. The oysters are amazing and prepared perfectly without unnecessary elements. Horseradish, lemon and mignonette; nothing else is needed. I also cannot say enough about the fabulous service, I was taken are of completely and everyone was great to chat with. Prices are higher than normal casual fare, but you do get what you pay for. I have no complaints and I would absolutely come back. read more

Absolutely hands down the best oysters ever! The ambiance and restaurant design is top notch. House Cocktails are unique and fantastic! Don't pass by this one! read more

Craft cocktails, creative gastropub fare and superb oysters that rank among the very best we've had in Manhattan, Charleston, New Orleans and Boston. It's great to see some bona-fide egg white cocktails like the Mango Fizz (a mango tinged Ramos Gin Fizz which many bars won't do because it's a huge pain to make) and the Guest of Sorrono. The staff is great with recommendations and Shane (our bartender with impressive tattoos on both arms) was skilled, friendly and refreshingly free of pretension. The fried frog legs (watch for the tiny bones) and apple samosas (with cardamom ice cream) were both terrific with well thought out details. We can't wait to come back to try more of the other dishes like the pork belly Banh Mi. read more

Great atmosphere and excellent food. The oysters were excellent and I recommend the smoked pork chop. The bartender excel at their craft and don't disappoint with the drinks. Overall a great experience! read more

Terrible food for the price. 30 bucks for a 6 oz steak? and the server didn't even know how many ounces was in the steak! we waited an hour to get our food. and i couldn't even customize my side of potatoes to come mashed. it only comes in the form of fries. so if you're looking to lose weight. and i couldn't substitute the side to a healthier option either because i was told they consider their food a work of art that shouldn't be messed with or changed. absolutely horrible unless you're some university student looking to go get drunk: not a restaurant just a bar. read more

Our quest for the best mussels in Nova Scotia led us here. Don't let the small uphill streets keep you from making the short walk to Lot Six. A jewel! Cruise ship excursion advisors should add this stop to their recommendations, and the local Hop-on-Hop-off bus should add it to their routes! read more

Friendly skilled bartenders. I had a Call of The Wild (a tequila based cocktail) and my man had a negroni. We were both very happy with our drinks. Highly recommended bar. Chill cool place. The music is at a good level where you feel like you can have a proper chat without screaming in each other's ears but you can't hear the convos of others. Good date place read more

My fingers are starting to hurt with the reviews I wrote about argyle. What a great street. Parking is an issue, but so he it, that's a yelp review for the city. Lot six is a place I wouldn't recommend until I drank there a few times. I simply don't trust anyone who says they can mix a proper drink. Don't tell me, show me. Everyone's a welder or a diver ya know what I mean ? The staff are all period dressed it seems and are quick and efficient behind the counter. Anyone of them are ready to take your drink order and mix at the same time. It's a harrowing thing to witness for those of us who would trip and fall the first five minutes in. I asked for an old fashioned (surprise). The bartender asked what kind of bourbon and started to mix. My only raised eyebrow moment was when the bartender asked if I wanted the drink reduced in a shaker with ice. He said people request it. We both agreed it's not the proper way to mix the drink. I personally feel as though a drink with booze in it like an old fashioned should make you gasp a little and remind you that this shit is not good for you. Anywhoo. The drink came back and was pretty damn good. I then ordered a mint Julip and passed it around to the group for a share. The mint leaves were picked right off the tree. They stung a little as I quaffed the drink. The bartender nailed this drink. Then came a suggestion from the keep. A black tropical bird or something like that. Dear mother of god, I have never had anything so layered and flavoured. Simply put, a step forward for my taste buds. Friends had a 1939. Sours. Toward the end of the evening the bartender offered a drink that he was entering into the galactic drink competition or something like that. I won't say who or what was in it other than it was unique and had us talking. Very fun and interesting. After careful consideration and $400 spent, I give this place a "80's rock star kick" 5 out of 5. Well done. read more

Love the cocktails. Staff is always extremely friendly and informative! This is my new favourite place in Halifax for a drink or two!

Worst service ever. 35 minutes before anyone toik a drink order... 1 hour to get appetizers then 5 people get an appy and one person has to wait 20 minutes but still doesn't get the wine they ordered 1/2 hoir before. Then another 40 minot before mains arrive. Bathrooms stink of urine. Not worth the hype... read more

I think the only thing that's preventing me from giving Lot Six 4.5 stars (it's not a choice on here, I know), is their limited number of vegetarian options. But besides that, I love the place. First tried it after work on a sunny, mild Tuesday in January. We were the first customers of the day at 5:00 and took a two-seater table by an Argyle Street-facing window. When you first come in, the main bar is right in front of you with some barstool seating. There are a couple of stairs to your right to enter a larger dining area, and a hallway that leads to the kitchen and possibly another dining area which I didn't investigate? Washrooms are off the right side dining room and are the small, private room types which are great and growing in popularity. The whole overall atmosphere is modern, simple, cozy with brickwork, artificial fireplace, candles and a book shelf by a large corner booth. Service was incredibly friendly and I forgot to get our waitor's name this visit. We each had a glass of the Hotline cocktail (grapefruit infused vodka, lime, house gingerbeer. 2 oz $11) and it was delicious - a taste of summer and very refreshing. We then split the $12 bread board, which must change on a regular basis. This time it included a small white loaf and a small sour dough loaf. Both fresh, warm, soft and just right. The dips were a melted goat cheese herbal one, and a dark olive one (forget the names) with a small jar of something butterscotchy (?) that I loved. Then we each also ordered the Aglio E Olio (tagliatelle, garlic, chili, fine herbs, parmesan. 18) which was amazing. The perfect portion, a nice kick of heat from the chili flakes, flavorful, a bit too much oil at the bottom of the plate once I was scraping up the last noodle, but still great overall. lol We looked at the dessert menu but were both quite full and nothing jumped out to us enough to force down. Another time. And there will be another time. I'd especially like to try one of their salads at lunch time, at least until they get another vegetarian item on the dinner entree menu. read more

I can't say enough about Lot Six. It opened just as I returned to Halifax from overseas and is easily one of my favourite restaurants in the city- especially for brunch. It has an incredible atmosphere with a different feel in each of their rooms. The service is always attentive and the food phenomenal. I've yet to have a poor meal or experience there. I like how their brunch menu changes to give variety. The fresh OJ is a must! read more

The atrium in Lot Six is stunning! If they seat you at the front bar, definitely go back and have a look at the atrium in the back or have them move you back there. The atmosphere is really great at this bar and the staff is extremely passionate about their cocktails and it shows! They are great at helping you choose a drink you will like and if you don't end up liking it they will take it back free of charge. The cocktails are quite pricey but it is a nice treat to relax there with on of there cheese boards (which was quite large). Definitely a spot worth checking out! read more

If you eat here, ask to be seated in the basement, it is absolutely beautiful! We ordered cocktails, the cheese and charcutterie board, and oysters. They have an oyster happy hour!! (from 4-6 I believe). I have not yet gotten the opportunity to go here for brunch but they also serve bottomless mimosas. Definitely a great spot to come with friends read more

Went as a party of four on a busy Saturday night, so we made a reservation for 8PM. Fiance and I showed up at 7:30PM to see if we could sit down for a drink while we waited for our other two, but it was understandably busy with no spots at the bar, so we just went next door. No big deal. We showed back up at 8PM, and our table wasn't ready yet, so we found a spot at the bar to have a cocktail while we waited. Great bar staff up front who knew their stuff. Very friendly and accommodating despite being obviously busy. Drinks were great and fun to watch being made. It was this experience up front that kept us busy for a while, until we realized we had been waiting a half hour for our table. Wouldn't have been as much of a sting if some people we knew (in a party of six) walked in five minutes before that (without a reservation) and were sat before us. We eventually were seated at a small table for 4 at 8:45PM. We had to pay for our cocktails before moving on. The atrium itself is quite stunning, with a well-stocked, exposed brick bar with leather stools, and a busy floor with a combination of square and round tables. Edison lighting along the bar, and uplighting along the brick walls outside of the atrium really lent to a wonderful atmosphere. Our party of four ordered crab cakes and salmon belly tartar for appetizers, which were out fairly quickly. Portions were small, but very tasty. Mains didn't get out to us until just after 10PM. For mains, we ordered the smoked pork chop, beef cheeks, buttermilk fried chicken, and lobster pasta. The buttermilk chicken was great, but the pasta and beef cheeks were tough, and the pork chop overcooked and dry. This place was bumping the whole time we were there, so some leeway has to be given to the fact that everything doesn't always go super-smooth when you're busy. It's the atmosphere and the bar experience that will have us come back here again, next time on an off-peak night, in hopes that the reservation and food experience is better. read more

I really like this little bar, The have a great space, solid cocktail list and tasty sounding food. TBH I have yet to eat here. The Bartenders are very adept, they can go off menu with ease and their list of cocktails is pretty on point. Plus they have fresh oysters. If they got Bad Apple's Box Cutter on tap I would never leave. read more

I took a young family member here with her friends as a birthday treat. What a great choice! The atmosphere is energetic and beautiful. The service was wonderful. The drinks really are fantastic. Interesting menu and everything was delicious. Worth every penny! Can't wait to go back. read more

Came here for the happy hour and raw oysters, and left feeling really content. I felt that the oysters were a bit pricey, but they were a lot saltier/juicier/flavorful than the ones we have in the states. This is centrally located in downtown, with plenty of free street parking available after 6pm. read more

atmosphere is fantastic . food display is excellent. but taste is above average

Went here for dinner and drinks with a few friends and it was amazing! I ordered the roasted beet salad and the crusted cod. My meal was delicious and fresh. The fresh ricotta on the beet salad was full of flavour and complimented the spicy arugula and roasted beets. The crust on the cod was beautiful and I loved the roasted vegetable side. We had amazing service and the drinks were beautifully crafted. I will come here again whenever I visit Halifax! read more

Pricey cocktails but absolutely yummy! Not an every weekend bar but nice for a classy girls night or a date!

Great place. We had a server named Marie M , who made the night!!! We started with the excellent happy hour. Best in the city!! Oysters and 1/2 price cocktails. We were having such a good time we stayed longer than expected and had the charcuterie board. Wow, this was excellent!! Best one in Halifax! We will probably be back this weekend!!! Happy Hour starts at 3 on Fridays. read more

Lovely! I'm not sure where to start. The staff are charming and lovely(love their working attire,goes so well with vibe/history of this building) , the cocktails are easily some of the better I've had in the city (so many varieties of alcohols..lots of local stuff!). We always order the bread board, delicious. But oh my lanta, the atrium after dusk!! Amazing, romantic yet casual, great for groups or a date night. The strings of lights. The glass roof. It's something you have to see and enjoy for yourself read more

Tried out Lot 6 the other week on a Thursday evening. Our server was attentive and friendly, the decor was very chic, I would really go there again for atmosphere alone. I didn't try out any of the complicated drinks but the wine was served at the right temperature. The menu was sparse and they didn't have our first choice oysters, the oyster presentation was nice but the accompaniments were lack luster. Overall, it is the ambiance that gives this place a 4 star for me. read more

Came here for drinks after dinner. All the drinks on the cocktail menu had at least one ingredient I can't have. I mentioned this to the bartender, but before I got a sentence out, he offered to make me something personalized, and asked if I liked cucumber. It was fantastic! read more

Had dinner there before going to Neptune Theatre and sat in the atrium. Beautiful area of the restaurant and our server was terrific. She knew a lot about the history of the building and was very willing to chat with us. We started with the Prawn Hush Puppies and the Lobster bruschetta and it was fantastic. My wife had the sweet potato spaghetti and I had the burger, one of the best burgers I've had anywhere. Overall highly recommend and if you go, try to get into the atrium. read more

Best meal I've had in a while. Was there for the Sunday brunch, served at the bar with a Strong Brew (hair of the dog, caffeine hit, and negroni-balanced flavours all in one), some oysters, and the crespelle. Calm, attentive, and friendly service. Can't wait to visit again. read more

This place is a must come for the fries and the cocktails. I definitely recommend everyone check these guys out.

Went for dinner and ate upstairs; great food (especially the muscles and frites), friendly waitstaff, cool atmosphere, and an eclectic menu. Definitely worth a try read more

Great oyster happy hour with half priced patio drinks. Had a dozen oysters and cocktails, along with an order of mussels. Cocktails were excellent and unique blends. The dehydrated grapefruit garnish was a nice touch. Oysters were fresh. Mussels were one of the better pots during our stay. Only good complaint would be the playing of frites on top of the mussels, which meant soaked fries at the end of the meal. read more

nice place , reasonable price, tasty food!

Sat at the front bar and had top-notch service (over 4 hours) from Jeff. He kept us well-hydrated, offering personal suggestions based on our tastes. We also had oysters (and they were so good, ordered more). The ambience was perfect, Halifax could use more places like this. read more

Really cool atmosphere, the place is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Cheapest drink was around $13 - didn't see any beer or wine on the menu, only cocktails/mixed drinks. I was overwhelmed and asked for a suggestion from the waiter, but whatever he brought me was delicious. read more
