13 Best Bars near Halifax

“We had never been here before, but I am so glad we gave it a try! The service was quick, super friendly, and went above and beyond. The food was absolutely delicious. I got the seafood platter and it wasn’t the slightest bit greasy, also came with a TON of food! We will definitely be coming back.“

“I’ve been coming here for years. Every Thursday for singo bingo. The food is always amazing. We always get catering when having parties. Always order our thanksgiving dinner from here so I don’t have to cook. The service is so good! Alyssa and Sarah are the best bartenders. Easy on the eyes!! All the staff have the best attitude.“

“I tried the Venus Cafe for the first time today for takeout. I ordered a green pepper onion and mushroom pizza. I got there early and got it as soon as he popped it into the box, so there was no time for it to steam in the box. I usually have my dog with me, so that's why I get take-out a lot. A little bit of flop at the beginning due to it being piping hot and loaded with toppings. Tasted great, and the price was good. This place is one of the goats of this style of pizza, ssbp. The only complaint is that they use sliced toppings, not chopped. And that's just a personal preference due to years of thinking I took a clean bite of pizza, and then a chunk of blistering topping comes with it and tags me on the chin. Lol. I went to the takeout side and dealt directly with the cook, and he was very nice. I have no clue about the bar area, but friendly kitchen staff speaks volumes for a place. I'm slowly trying all the places that do this style of pizza in the area, and this one did not disappoint.“

“My family and I went to the Riv last night to celebrate my late father’s birthday. We ended up having a much larger group than anticipated and our server Heather handled it like a complete professional. She went above and beyond in every way and made for a very special night. Thank you so much to Heather and the entire staff.“

“Food is amazing seriously Chef shawn Bumpus is a fantastic cook the food is always perfect, we dealt with him directly when we got our takeout tonight the place was busy and he was so calm and kind and willing to help. Please go visit and enjoy his food I personally recommend the honey sriracha steak wrap 10/10“

“My husband and I love this place. It’s been hard to find good food around here so we look forward to our dinners here! We would be fools if we didn’t order the buffalo chicken tenders so we don’t leave without ordering those. I have been ordering the same meal for a while and it’s delicious every single time. I order the buffalo chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and a salad. It’s the perfect combination and is so satisfying! I’m hoping it will become a menu item soon so I can just ask for “The Jessie” ??. Service is always excellent and the drinks are on point, not too strong or not strong enough, just perfect. Staff is very friendly and we appreciate the positive attitude that comes from everyone who works there. It starts with the staff, then the food - so the smiles go a long way! ❤️“

“I don’t post a lot of reviews but I’m sitting here eating my dinner I just picked up for takeout and it’s deserved. I haven’t had a bad meal and I’m absolutely loving the specials! Also have been there for two private functions recently and the quality was top notch. They’ve done an amazing job with everything since the reopening“

“I hadn't been to Alley cat for a few years. Hence the name is changed to Kingston ten pin. Nice and clean, good service friendly. Plenty of free on-site parking. Wheelchair accessible. They also have the push device for those in a wheelchair to be able to bowl. They have bumpers for the kids. They also have some special events sometimes.“

“I just ordered the best ribs I’ve ever had. They melted in your mouth and marinade was amazing. I have had barbecue down south : GA; TN; AZ… absolutely none even hold a candle to this. If you don’t believe me… please try it out… and btw Tracy Denise and Sharon are awesome too!“

“Neat little bar. They have a limited bar menu but they also had a "specials board". It's one of those nice community joints where everybody is nice.Also, at the bar next door, a patron stated that Lynch's has a steak dinner special on Monday nights. Since I am not there at the time of this post, I can not corroborate; call ahead. Special is supposed to include steak (different cuts vary) , spuds, veg .........and one adult beverage for under $13. Again, don't hold me to this special info, it's 2nd hand info.Visit, enjoy.“

“Small tavern style restaurant/bar. Servers were very friendly, quick and attentive. A little disappointed in the foods but the service made up for it. Plenty of tvs throughout. I would say it is probably a nice little place to go for some drinks and watch your favorite sports.“

“We went to dinner here on a Tuesday night and they were packed which was a great first sign (they must be good if they are that busy on a Tuesday). They still sat us right away. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive to us the whole time we were there. All of the food just blew us away! It was absolutely amazing and so full of flavor. I can not wait to get back over there again“
