-- A Golden Retriever's Review of The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse…read more 10/10. Would sniff again. My hoomans took me to The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse, and I must say, they really understand what matters to a dog. First of all, there's a nice outside deck where dogs are welcome, and it comes with a beautiful sniff of the bay. I spent a considerable amount of time conducting important scientific research with my nose. My hoomans ordered a burger that smelled absolutely AMAZING. They also got a stew with yummy-smelling meat in it. Naturally, I stared at them intensely in case they suddenly remembered that I am an important member of the family and should receive a sample. They did not. I was disappointed, but I remained professional. The food smelled great, the deck was perfect, the bay was sniffable, and my hoomans seemed very happy. Personally, I think the place would be even better if they offered a Golden Retriever tasting menu. Final rating: 5 out of 5 paws. Would visit again. Would sniff everything. Would absolutely judge my hoomans for not sharing the stew.

Seemed slightly burned, even though the squid was perfect (not rubbery). The seafood chowder was very hearty and good. Probably the best of the choices we made. We were happy with that one.

A "ceilidh" (pronounced "Kay-Lee") were Irish/Scottish musical gatherings in people's homes that were common in the area historically. This venue is helping to keep that tradition alive and supports local Cape Breton artists to perform regularly. It is a really magnificent experience. We had the pleasure of experiencing Dara on fiddle and Adam on piano. They shared music, told stories, and answered questions. It was very intimate, informative, and beautiful. There were people from all over the world. It is open every evening in tourist season (I think that was May to October but check first). Starts at 7:30 but get there by 7:15.

Came across this establishment on Saturday as we were driving between Glace Bay and New Waterford. I saw the sign advertising Hires Root Beer and couldn't resist pulling in to see if they actually had any. They don't. (Hires Root Beer is only sold in limited areas in the US, and is in competition with A&W Root Beer which comes from the same bottling plant...sad really) However, I went with a root beer float anyway (Dad's root beer, if I recall) and sat out on one of the park benches overlooking the water, enjoying the view. If you are looking for a place to grab a quick snack, this is definitely one to put on your list!

He will go through each one for you with incredible patience and answer any questions. Once you place your order there's a nice little sit-down area outside the stand. My hot dog came with a grilled bun, fresh beef hot dog, crispy onions and his own special sauce. And if that isn't enough and you're looking for dessert he makes homemade donuts as well. Everything was reasonably priced and made to order. Great little spot on Charlotte Street in Sydney, give it a try next time you're here.
