    The Oasis: it was better when you could smoke there. Not that I smoke anymore, but some places reside on the dingy side of the fence requiring a redeeming factor, and said factor for the Oasis is smoking. Now that you can't smoke, you can actually see from one end of the bar to the other. It's so big and grimy, and here I thought it was an intimate below ground setting, with a mysterious hazy ambiance. Okay, but really, this place is massive. It's kind of like a cafeteria that serves beer and rocks out the children's karaoke, you know, for the university toddlers. I'm being snippy in this review. I must curb this attitude, because it's really just me digressing from an earlier encounter with irritating people... breathe... and better. The Oasis: a dingy bar. It is what it is. I would never choose to specially go there, but have ended up here on a number of occasions. It's fine. They serve booze. Everyone wins. Somebody pass me my cigarettes...

    While staying at the Cambridge suites nearby, two buddies, my father and I decided on the Oasis to go watch a huge UFC/MMA fight. Pro's: 1.Booths available, some with electric sockets to charge your phone. 2.Everything was pretty well-priced 3.Lots of seating 4. Bouncers that look like they definitely do not BS around. Neither good nor bad: this is a typical dive bar so don't expect anything fresh, modern or classy. For some people, though, that kind of atmosphere provides just the right ambience for a raucous sports bar. Cons: 1. Very understaffed. Waitress had a deer in the headlights kind of expression on her face that could either have been her typical stress response, or she had chemically prepared herself for a busy shift before the time. I strongly suspect both these, but thats hardly the point.. A bar's main income is the money from alcohol sales, and it doesnt make much sense to me to have a lone waitress out there slowly serving dozens of tables...no matter how glazed over her expression may be. 2. The heating pipes run inside the walls, so if you sit in one of the booths, the person sitting nearest the wall is going to literally roast right there like a Thanksgiving Turkey. I tried propping up the space between me and the wall with parkas... till the walls started melting the plastic off one of my jackets.... yes it really was that overwhelmingly hot. On the balance of things, I don't have any opinions of the place that are either very bad, nor very good.. Its a bar that serves a purpose to certain groups of people; sports fans that want the greasiest food possible while enjoying the game and downing pitchers of beer (of which this establishment carries a very small selection)

    If it's a Thursday night and you're looking for something to do than grab some friends and on head down to the Oasis. The karaoke/ sports bar is a huge hit amongst University students. But what's not to be desired about cheap draught, wings and karaoke? You're guaranteed to have a fun time - especially if you break up the courage and decide to do a number onstage. So, what are you waiting for? In the words of Garth Brooks, "slip on down to the Oasis!"

    Not bad for a Pub. Cooks are always different, so the menu changes a lot. But overall I will return. 10 Dollar pitchers are always good.

    If anyone is thinking of paying them a fee to hold onto your coats my only advice to you is avoid…read moreit at all costs if possible and save yourself the money otherwise risk losing your coat and receiving intimidation tactics from the bouncers and security. I have been here a few times and I had decided one time to use the coat hanging services. I paid the fees, took a number and They put that same number on my coat so they know what belongs to who, simple right? I guess not because at the end of the night when I'm ready to head home I go to pick up my coat and they tell me they accidentally gave it to someone else, the coat that had an identification number and yet THEY GAVE IT TO THE WRONG PERSON. The coat wasn't cheap either and yet even though the coat girl admitted that it's completely on her for giving it to the wrong person I was offered NOTHING, zero compensation and zero real accountability. Instead the security in their infinite kindness opted to sweep the situation under the rug despite my distress and tell me there's nothing they can do now about it so i should leave. So Im now writing this review one coat short of what i used to have, hoping people will see this review and learn from my experience.

Many changes over the years have taken place from having a bouncer to having someone almost frisk you. I know times have changed but I know other locations do not do that. The Dance floor is WAY to small, tyring to dance on that floor is dam near impossible. On a Saturday night it is standing room only. Normally when I am at the Dome I stay within the walls of Cheers and do not venture out in to the kinder-garden bars where they are supposed to be 19 yeah ok. Dome does have some great bands to enjoy and it is always excitement when you do down.

    Charlie's is a pretty chill place to go hang out and have a few beers…read more The crowd can be a little rough around the edges but I guess the university throngs have pretty much pushed the average drinking man out of every other bar in Halifax. Pool tables are a nice addition... I wasn't really sure what the $2 cover was going towards besides upkeep? A grungy/funky spot in the North End that's for sure!

    This is not a tourist bar, unless you are a linoleum architecture tourist, or a $2.75 tequila shot…read moretourist, or a tourist of watching tight knit groups of locals sit around in circular formation. Charlie's is where you go when you want to go to Cheers. (Not the Cheers on Grafton St., the Cheers on TV according to your 6 y/o mind, which is really just the the theme song, fuzzy visuals, and conflating real life people with Cliff and/or Rhea Pearlman.) In short, it's where you go when you come home nostalgic and want to see all your old friends, enthusiastically buy each other drinks like it's a genuine gift, dance to one of those weird new electric blue jukeboxes, shout and pontificate around a pool table, and generally have a back slappin, squeezey hugging, chortling little time. The decor is like any affordable house, only the door has a key code and a woman sits at a table with a guest book when you come in. This does not make you feel cool, but it does make you feel like life is funny. The bartender is so used to over-friendly drunk patrons that nothing can melt him. I imagine that deep in his core is something more kind than anything I have ever known, but it is too precious to be shared. The last time I came here, someone apologized for asking me to dance when I turned him down. Apologized. For my rejecting him. A dark little mineshaft to the salt of the earth this place is, lemme tell ya.

    I can't believe The Narrows Public House isn't here in Yelp, and I may regret adding it. This place…read moreis a special dining experience. Even though we knew about where it was, we walked right past the beautiful two-story historic house initially. We knew by taking a look at the website they do not accept reservations, which was fine with us. We were, however, going on a Friday night. On walking into the main entry, that space was packed wall-to-wall. Within a few short minutes, one of the staff greeted us. They don't exactly have a formal wait list here, from what I could tell. The staff member offered us the drinks menu and asked if we'd like to order something while we waited on a table. We ordered up a couple of pints, then looked around for some open space to stand. They have two standing bar rails, one in the main area near the bar itself and another one in the middle dining area. This place has about the most creative layout of booths and tables I've ever seen. They do have an outdoor patio out back, but we didn't take a look at that. They have quite a few very comfy two-person booths around the interior. It appeared the way the wait list worked was that they either have a phenomenal memory, or they actually use the bar tab you open to work like a wait list. It seems to really be more about how many you have in your party, and the exact size of any tables/booths that open up. We might have waited about 30 minutes or so for our table for two up in the front of the main dining room. Every single person on the wait staff here is amazing. Let me just get that out of the way. The beer list is great, loaded up with so many good local and Nova Scotia craft beer options. The food menu is what really makes this place special, though. We were on vacation, so we may have a tendency for our eyes to be bigger than our stomachs can handle. There was just so many amazing looking dishes. We started out with a pickle jar, fried taters, and the tomatoes appetizers. I have to say, and my wife agrees, the tomatoes dish was the best of everything we had. Its made up of sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, shallots, capers, and garlic chips. All that is sitting on top of creme fraiche. By the time you're finishing the dish, you start thinking about a straw to finish up that creme fraiche. Good grief, that was so good. Don't pass on the fried taters, though. Those seemed to be mashed potatoes formed into rectangular big fries, cooked almost like panko and served with horseradish sour cream. After all that, we could only muster splitting the deli style chop salad with cold water shrimp on it. Our great waitress talked us into an order of the brown bread, a very soft kind of Irish soda bread I believe. That bread just melts in your mouth. If you decide to venture out to The Narrows, you're in for a total experience. You'll feel like you stepped back in time to a real British pub... the house must be from somewhere around the mid 1800s. Every room is warm and cozy, with beautiful woodwork and curious antiques in all sorts of nooks and crannies. You may have quite a long wait depending on the size of your party and how busy the place is, but trust me... its worth every minute.
