The Resolute Club is a fixture of the South End. It is a membership only and you must be referred in by another member. The fees here are pretty low, so no worries that way.
This is where you will join and meet the regulars here, it is a very active place for the sports events. There are pool tables in the back part and you can even hold functions there. We though a big bash, with band and everything, it was a great time. -

I have to agree with a post below, Resolute's reminds me of Moe's Tavern (Simpsons).
We went here for St. Patrick's day as 1) I knew someone who was playing in the band for the early afternoon, and 2) it's across the street from my apartment.
I'd never been before and when I walked in I was a little surprised. It's a little dark (adding to the Simpson-esque appeal), but it's much bigger. We showed up at 3:15pm and grabbed the last table (so it was pretty busy).
There was a mix in age groups. From over 60 to mid-twenties. It really made for a diverse, and hilarious evening.
Beers were 3.75 and doubles (liquor) 9.00$, so the prices were quite reasonable. My friend had a hamburger, fries and a beer for under 10$. Food was decent (nothing fancy, but edible!).
Had a great time, and would definitely go back for another St. Patrick's day. Not quite sure what it'd be like on the average Friday/Saturday. I assume sporting events are quite busy as well. -

Resolutes Club is not only the best kept secret of the South end, but also one of the oldest amateur athletics clubs in Canada.
'Resolutes' is a members only club, but for a few dollars you can join and enjoy live music, pool, shuffle board and some of the cheapest drinks in the city. The 'social membership' at Resolutes will run you $10/annually and gets you in the door. (there is a pass code) If you want to be a voting member of the Resolutes Amateur Athletic Club then you need to shell out a whooping $32/annually.
Membership dues go towards supporting various athletic organizations in the HRM such as: Metro Mens Soccer League, TARS Rugby, St. Mary's Football team as well as the Resolutes Pool league.
Resolutes also offers some pretty great pub grub!Listed in: Kick ass dive bars

My South End living experience warranted daily sightings of the Resolutes Club, and I never felt the need to go beyond that. A members only spot, its primary demographic appears to be older men with the penchant for drinking, gambling and chillin'.
During daily/ nightly excursions, I noticed a regular rotation of questionable characters lingering on the outside stoops. Not all, of course, but yes there were some. The vibe from the outside reminded me of something out of The Simpson's cartoon-- classic "Moe's" bar with the regular old guys sitting side by side and drinking the day away.
What I did not know until recently is that they've also got pool, shuffle board, and great drink prices. At only $10 annually for the membership... hmm-- my early impressions have softened.
Perhaps well suited for the older gent looking for a low-key spot to sip some brews, the Resolutes Club is a longtime South End perch and much loved by many. -

Cheap drink and great people the Resolute Club has been in the South End of Halifax form many years. Yes it is a private club that is for members only it is almost like an old boys club house.
Walking in you have bar located at the front with is a full bar equipped with everything. Happy hours still rings at the Resolutes Club making the drink even cheaper.
Pool table and dart boards location at the back of the bar make sometimes very competitive. Large screen TVs are location always displaying some form of sports for the boys.
I have attend many functions and parties at this club and always had a great time at each event. Drop on by and ring the bell maybe they will let you in.
