Then amidst the uncertainty, there stands Whiskey's - the paradigm of Dartmouth pub life, rolled into this Portland Street venue. I was reminded of Whiskey's when some of my pals went the other day. They ordered a pizza, sans cheese and tomato sauce (allergies and veganism) and the employees and cooks very happy to oblige. When I was there last, I sat on the patio and enjoyed the 5pm traffic and street activity with a posse of friends. There were very drunk people milling about, some screamers having matches, as well as workers enjoying beverages post workday. We ordered some pitchers and enjoyed the sun, before it disappeared behind one of the buildings. This is a great Dartmouth pub, worth the trip across the bridge. The patrons are colorful and unpredictable and the service is pretty great. Grab a brew and enjoy the always entertaining downtown Dartmouth scene.

When I lived on the Dartmouth side of the bridge, Whiskey's was usually my choice for a few post…read morework drinks, as it was within walking distance of both home and work. The atmosphere is extremely laid back, with a few VLTs lining one of the walls. There would often be a performer with a guitar and some classic cover tunes. There was one guy in particular that would do the theme song from "The Littlest Hobo" which went over quite well with myself and almost everyone else there. Whiskey's itself has no kitchen, but their menu is prepared next door by the same owners at Revana Pizza. There is an adjoining door between the two, which is helpful, because alas, Whiskey's has no washrooms. You simply cross through into the bright lights of the pizza joint to use their facilities. I especially enjoyed Whiskey's in the summer. The patio offers a nice view of the harbour, as well as some prime and varied people viewing. Now that I have crossed the bridge, making Downtown Halifax my home, I no longer stop in to Whiskey's, but there are times when I do miss it a little bit. It was the perfect relaxed location for me to unwind after a stressful work day, with almost no chance of running into a client, or someone I might know. Perhaps this summer I'll stop in for a pint or two, before boarding the ferry to Halifax, for old time's sake.

As a pre-show get together for the Canada Heritage moments at the Carbon Arc (note to self: remember that review too), Meegan and I met some fellow yelpers here for some nosh and wine. We were the first to arrive (around 5ish) and if I can give anyone a little piece of advice about going to check this place out for the first time let it be this - that was the perfect time to be there. There were only a few patrons inside so we were able to get some great service (both fast and super friendly). As it is a music bar and grill they seem to have an extensive list of upcoming events but when we went all was quiet. While the menu can seem a little pricey we happened to go in during happy hour (4-6). Appetizers are 2 for 1, house wine $5 = Happy Tara! There seems to be a lot of talk about the grilled cheese sandwich this place serves up but Meegan and I opted to for the lamb lollipops ($10ish), the torpedo shrimp ($9ish but remember we were there for happy hour) and then shared the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich with Avocado ($11ish). It was plenty of food for the both of us and I really thought everything was very good. The house red was nothing to shake a stick at either (and three glasses later it was even better). I loved the look of the place. Dark wood and plenty of seating without feeling like you're bumping into one another. Located on the corner of Argyle and Prince it's looks to be an awesome place to hang out especially on the patio during the summer. If you go let me know how the grilled cheese sandwich is.

To say the seafood is adequate is an understatement.

My husband had the wings, which were just ok. I had one of their "specials" for the week which was a BLT sandwich (good and toasted) alongside a cup of ham and split pea soup (fairly certain it was canned soup, very mushy and salty). The atmosphere could use some upgrading. Not only is it drab, but the sun can really shine in through the little windows they have and since they don't have curtains or blinds you occasionally have to sit and eat with the sun in your eyes. I'd also prefer to take my wallet out just once instead of paying the bartender for our drinks at the beginning of the meal, then paying our waitress for our food at the end. It's nice that we have a local pub in the neighborhood, it's just too bad it's not better.

The sandwiches were great across the board: the pork belly and pineapple burger, the jerk chicken sandwich, the "double-jug" smash and the (actually good GF-bun) cheeseburger were all as good as any of us have had in recent memory ("best burger ever" was a reaction to the pork belly/pineapple). But what struck us most was the unbelievably good side salad: the combo of (obviously farm-fresh) greens, apple and subtle pickling with the lemon/maple dressing was memorable. Easy 5.

Granted, in the past we've either…read moregone with friends or been pretty busy, but taking four trips to actually get my first set of notes is a bit embarrassing. It's wild to think that Battery Park has been open for nearly a decade, but the years go by quickly! I'd only been there once before we left NS for several years, and once we returned and got a place in Dartmouth, I knew we'd be here frequently. Burgers and beer - what's not to like?! This first documented visit saw me diving into the Ace Burger part of the menu. I've loved Ace's burgers since their start in the kitchen at Gus' Pub, and I'm glad that they survived the ebb and flow of food trends, un like several other gourmet burger joints. I opted for the Dartmouth-Style Jughead, which is a sort of fancied-up version of In-N-Out's cult favourite, the Animal-Style burger, which involves cooking the patty in mustard on the flat top, and topping it with a messy burger sauce. Battery Park's iteration didn't evoke my vague memories of In-N-Out quite the same way that Stillwell's similarly-themed Burger Week offering did, but it was undeniably an excellent burger. Two, smashed patties with wonderfully crisp edges were lovingly topped with gooey slices of cheese, "Dartmouth sauce" and caramelized onions. This wasn't a pure umami bomb though, as classic accoutrements of lettuce, tomato and a pickle helped brighten up and balance out the burger. The fries were also top notch; the skin-on, hand-cut fries were nice and crispy, and addictively salty. My wife stuck with her long-running favourite, the Pig Mac, which unsurprisingly has pork subbing in for beef in another homage to a famous burger. The flavour is spot-on, and much, much better than its namesake, as in addition to the superior ingredients and execution, it doesn't come with that weird McDonald's aftertaste and regret. As we often do to get the best of both worlds, my wife had gotten a salad so that we could share our different sides. Battery Park's Caesar salad stuck close to the classic recipe, but stood out from the forgettable masses of this ubiquitous side thanks to their deeply rich and flavourful, house-made dressing, fried capers and real bacon. On my next time there, summer was now in full swing, and we snagged a table on the back patio. It was my first time out there, and I was impressed by the space. Patios in very urban settings often have limited real estate, but Battery Park's was a very good size, and had a chill vibe, like it was somebody's (large and busy) back deck. I wasn't feeling particularly burger-y with the heat, so I chose the mushroom dumplings and miso salad, while my other half went with the pork belly and pineapple burger. It was a little bit of a wait with a full house inside and out, but a cold beer and great company made it pass quickly. The dumplings were deep fried to a deep brown, but didn't taste at all burnt, with the spectacularly crisp wrapper encasing the rich mix of chopped mushrooms inside. A dipping sauce of perhaps soy and chili sauce brought added layers of flavour, and a little salad of radish and green onions added a splash of colour and freshness. My miso and ginger salad was very good, with plentiful fresh veg, apple and crisp slices of fried tofu that were beautifully encrusted with white and black sesame seeds, although the overall flavour profile wasn't as Asian as I expected. The namesake ingredients of the creamy dressing didn't really stand out, but it was a tasty salad nonetheless. My wife's burger was an impressive sight, with glistening, glazed slices of pork belly and a grilled section of pineapple on top of one of Ace's always-fantastic patties. The combination of sweet and savoury was a winning one, and it made me think of one of the first "gourmet" burgers I ever had, the Ultimate Burger at The Henry House, which also comes with pineapple. As expected, the top-notch fries were good to the last fry, and I should know, as I finished off what my wife didn't have room for! I suppose the idiom that "a lot of ink has been spilled" doesn't apply in this digital age, but fixtures like Battery Park still deserve attention for the great job that they're still doing after all these years.
