They also have a dairy bar inside the courtyard in case the beer isn't providing you enough carbohydrate. We didn't try the food here, but they had something that they were cooking over smoke that smelled amazing. If we had had a few more nights here in town, we would have eaten at the beer garden for sure. Do you make sure you take a walk through the public garden diagonally, across the street from here. It is lovely.

It's easily four times the size I recall, with numerous decks at various levels and a free service area in the large patio by the main entrance. Here you order you victuals from the small bar at the back and get a great view of the boardwalk and harbour. There's plenty of shade for sun dodgers, servers galore on the decks and the usual pub fare if you're eating. I spoke to the delightful manager who reported trade, in season, way higher than of yore and I can certainly see why. Easily the best spot on the waterfront and a must visit for locals and tourists alike. Will definitely be back while summer lasts.

Great outside bar on the boardwalk. Great menu but I only had beer. A very crowded popular place.read more

Not far from Halifax lies a little gem in Hubbards Nova Scotia. It is about a pleasant (in good…read moreweather) 30 minute drive. It is a gem because of its natural scenic beauty, quiet and relaxed atmosphere and incomparable tranquility. A great place for an afternoon or evening getaway. The service was prompt and efficient and the prices fair. I had the fish and chips that were unfortunately just average. Not to the standard that I expected for a restaurant of this calibre situated metres from the water. The problem is that they use frozen fish which no matter how well prepared will not come close to fresh. If you are not used to the real thing, then this will most certainly suffice. But I am and this did not. Lastly, the coleslaw was tasteless.

Not…read moremuch more than a 30 minute drive from Halifax, it's located on the shore of Hubbards Cove, overlooking the water. A large deck outside, a snug space inside, with a just amazing view. Food wise, we went for a shared starter of garlic shrimp. Large, succulent shrimp with a very nice sauce. For mains, the wife ordered the seafood crepes while I tried the chowder. The latter is easily main course sized and both choices had generous amount of very fresh local seafood, including some large lobster pieces. They have two Italian Pinot Grigios, and some decent local beers. Our waitress was truly delightful. Attentive, engaging and always on the look out for our needs. The Inn also has some lovely looking rooms up above the restaurant, so if you're visiting the south shore from away, this should certainly be on your list. Prices are quite reasonable too. Only open in season, which ends sometime in October, we will definitely be back when the snow finally melts.

They have 12 beers on tap, and various beers on cans and bottles. Food seems to be mostly sharable appetizers. We tried: - Propeller Galaxy (6.5% $7.6 for 16oz): hazy IPA style, simple, a hint of hoppy. - Trailway Voyager (7.8% $7 for 12 oz): like a hazy IPA, citrus, sweet, smooth. Bartender is attentive and chill atmosphere. Overall: great place to grab a drink and hangout.

If you read their website former dairy farmers turned lobster restaurant cooks on weekends. The location did not have live music on Sunday. You get the funny bib if you want and the lobster meal for $44 with mussels and unlimited salad and rolls or $39 without the mussels but unlimited salad and rolls. The lobster was rather corny in taste, they were not over cooked and pretty nice. The mussels they tasted like the standard grocery store ones- apparently from farmed source. The waiters and waitresses frequently visited to check on us and empty out buckets. The meal also came with two dessert options and self serve coffee/tea. The experience- was nice but pricey and a bit touristy. It was sadden that the unlimited salad bar actually lacked green salad or spinach- which I was sort of craving. They generally had a selection of mayonnaise based salads- look at my photo. But some selection- but I didn't see anything fun like crab salad. The machine auto request for 15% tip, so if you're not a fan of being told what to tip be sure to manually adjust it. Washroom is located in the main floor and the lower floor. Water was self serve- which I thought was odd since the servers were visiting frequently already.

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.
