The service is usually a major miss here but we opted for the patio on a beautiful sunny day. The server didn't even offer to bring water when she took our order but the drinks arrived fairly quickly, as did the food. The fish and chips is actually an embarrassment to the entire Atlantic region. Soggy, crusty and nearly black from the deep fryer. You will get a tiny piece that looks like it had heart disease before it ended up on your plate. I've never eaten fish where I have a leftover cup of tartar sauce, but this was it. The fries looked old and like someone grabbed them off a plate of leftovers. While this is definitely the best patio in the Valley, it is not worth eating here. Settle for drinks and expect poor service. If you want proper pub food, head over to the Library Pub up the road.

It's great to live close to a place like Sea Level Brewing. In the same building as The Port Pub,…read moreSea Level provides their microbrewed beer. With nice range of beer ranging from ales to porter. There is a regular selection of 4 core brews (Planters Pale Ale, Rojo Mojo Red Ale, Blue Heron Extra Special Bitter, and Port in a Storm Porter) with an interesting seasonal beer (the most recent one was Dussel-Port Altbier) to keep things interesting. Brewmaster Randy Lawrence is friendly and cares about the beer that he makes. For locals there are refillable growlers (1 L bottles) and there are individual 650 mL bottles. They also have party kegs if you need more beer. Being able to have locally-brewed beer made with local ingredients is one of the very nice parts of living in a beautiful agricultural area with people who are committed to making great things where they live.

extremely unhappy with my service here. I arrived and asked the woman helping us to tell me a…read morelittle bit about the beers and she was completely clueless about every single one. so much so, that she grabbed the sheet, clearly made for staff use and told me to read it to learn about the beer. They also do not fill any growlers that aren't their own (unheard of for micro breweries.. i consider it a hobby to travel to different breweries and fill existing growlers). She then suggested i could get some different cans BUT didn't tell me they only sell 6 packs of each one. the entire point of a craft brewery is sampling different ones. if the woman serving me had been helpful or friendly that would have compensated for their other short comings.

A little spicy, but not too coyingly spicy as I am very sensitive to spice. The pina colada was done very well, nice, and creamy. The bruschetta was the winner of this lineup though. It was made very well. With what I believe to be a dollup of sour cream on the top. The wait time was appropriate and the serving was very appropriate as well. You can't go wrong with a good Paddy's meal.

With a price tag of $60 for a main, 2 appies, and 1 pint we both agreed we'd rather try elsewhere next time. Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable either. Maybe it was just an off night?

We got a bit of hype because of the Bluenose Commemorative beer (which was fine), but everything we tried seemed pretty light and almost catering to the millennials who don't like beer but want to be seen at these kinds of places. No major complaints but it would be great if some food options were available. They did have bags of chips but they weren't even local so that was a little surprising. They do have some fun merch so check it out as long as there's staff. The one person working there looked very overwhelmed so we didn't stick around to order more. Free wifi if needed.

A great spot hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the busy little town of Kentville. If you've…read morebeen to the Sea Level taproom in Port Williams (attached to The Port Pub), then you'll want to come here where the beer is brewed. An absolutely beautiful spot on the 221 with LOADS of space to hang out. So much awesome seating from picnic benches to fire pit areas. Lots of grass and it's great if you want to bring kiddos because there's fun games laid out and bubbles at the entrance. Another great reason to sit outside is that they've got lots of sunscreen available at the entrance for you to use so no worries if you forgot yours! The taproom is just another beautiful spot where you can pull up a stool and drink your worries away. It's long and narrow with a few other options for seating so not really great for crowds - you want to take that party outside. Speaking of parties, this is THE place to hang out on the weekends, especially Friday. Check their social media pages to see what's going on and check out the music, food truck and themed event. There's no food here unless you're here on a weekend with a food truck so be sure to eat or pack a picnic first and then head on over to grab some really great beer or cider. We were quite surprised by the delicious summer lime seltzer and I think we found our new favourite place!

Food isn't what they do here, although they do have it available simply due to liquor laws in NS. If you're here to review the food, you may as well move along because it's just to satisfy the law and not your huge gut. Now that we got that out of the way, this is a really great spot in a bit of an industrial location. The patio sits right over the river so you can watch the tide come in right from your seat with your beer. There is lots on tap. Everything is free to try and then you can head outside to the HUGE patio on varying levels to enjoy your pint of your favourite sample. Lots of merch in store if that's your thing. Eat before you come, have a pint, enjoy the view and you'll be happy as a clam. Not much else to say, really.

It is really easy to access, but is hiding behind the Taco Bell so it is easy to drive past it the first time if you do not know what you are looking for. Once you have found it the tasting room is a lot of fun. They have a wide range of rums and vodkas that you can sample as well as their sodas which are premixed drinks with soda water. You can also order a flight of cocktails which the staff makes right there in front of you. The day we visited the staff member was amazing and was very kind and helpful. With your cocktail flight in hand, you can head out outside to enjoy drinking them. The drinks were all very tasty. We tried the Blueberry Mojito the Creamsicle, Espresso Martini and the Paradise. Our two favorites were the Espresso Martini and Paradise.
