Stayner's Wharf Pub & Grill

Good food, good location, good view, good service. I have mostly good things to say about Stayner's Wharf, where I enjoyed pasta with seafood and drank a local wine.
My visit coincided with the Halifax Jazz Festival, and while I was glad to see that so many venues participated, including Stayner's, unfortunately the act that played while we were there was bad. Smooth jazz covers of Beatles songs, and only that. Still, not Stayner's Wharf's fault, nor something I'd hold against them.

Classic meats and well seasoned dishes with a waterfront location. Its stellar patio space and great view make Stayner's a nice place to grab a beer and grub in summer months.
This place is much loved by Halifax locals, and has been around for a significant amount of time. While the menu isn't for me, its all prepared with quality and expertise. I will take my Dad here next time he visits... he loves a good steak.
Excellent Halifax venue with a hearty palate. There is a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that both locals and city newcomers can enjoy!

We went here the other week to try the fish and chips. After a long day of shopping we decided on here. It might have been because I could not walk any longer and the chair was calling my name.
The fish and chips were good, light batter, crispy and the cold beverage hit the spot. I am going to get the clams next time on the recommendation of Bethany.

Like clams? Like beer? Like eating clams while drinking beer? Then you need to head to Stayner's Wharf, where the clams are fresh, the beer is cold and the atmosphere sucks you in and makes you stay overtime.
Stayner's is a fixture. Downtown near the ferry terminal, it's perfectly poised to nab you, either on your commute home from a long workday or as a harbourside beacon drawing you to the waterfront.
Stayner's does many things excellently (try the Molten Chocolate Deluxe!) but best of all, they provide a venue for live jazz twice a week - Wednesdays and Sundays. There's nothing quite like sitting back at Stayner's with a cold beer or a glass of wine and passing the time enjoying good food and listening to live music.
Stayner's also has a patio for the warmer months. If you like people-watching, the patio at Stayner's is the place for you! With the ferry terminal so handy, you get to experience a cross-section of Halifax life, all passing in front of you while you munch on any of the fine offerings on their menu.
Try Stayner's. Tell them the clams sent you.

Stayner's used to be one of my favourite restaurants in town - their steaks, drenched in butter, were to die for. But somewhere along the way, the prices went up, the size of the steaks went way down, and the flavours and special touches were lost.
Perhaps it's not their fault. The restaurant is smack-dab in the middle of the most touristy (touristiest?) part of Halifax, and they really pack 'em in, especially on the outdoor patio, during the summer months. Tourists (sorry) aren't generally known for being the most discerning diners, so maybe the restaurant has just stooped to catering to its lowest common denominator. Whatever the reason, my most recent visit may have been my last.
Still, there are other reasons to go: live jazz. Good people-watching. Cold beer, and a good selection of beers, too. Just don't order the sad little steak.

This review is based on takeout only.
After lots of walking through the city, we made a pitstop at the Stayner's Wharf outside takeout window since we didn't feel like waiting around to be seated at a regular table. The bar area inside and the adjacent outdoor patio were filled up with many folks having a good time over drinks and traditional pub fare. The dine-in menu offers appetizers, sandwiches, salads, soups, comfort foods, pasta, steak, chicken, seafood, and local dishes. Weekday daily specials are offered. European and local draft beers are offered. The prices are moderate in this busy touristy area. Live entertainment is offered at night.
However, the takeout window menu is very simple offering 1 pc fish & chips, home cut fries, hot dogs, sausage sandwiches, and cold drinks (pop, water, ice tea).
We each had a Sausage Sandwich ($4 each) which was like a really big juicy grilled hot dog, shared an order of Fries ($4) and some bottled waters ($2 each). HST was included in the takeout prices, pricey. The food was ready in about 8 minutes, good enough to tide us over for our long walk back to the car.

I had the fish and fries for brunch. Lightly breaded deep fried goodness. 10-12$
