It's Always Cocktail Hour
See All Lists
1. The Drawing Room
The Drawing Room is one of those places that I kept meaning to check out, and once I finally paid it a visit I couldn't believe I hadn't been there earlier.
The atmosphere here is what makes the bar. It's cozy, intimate and sophisticated without…More »
2. Obladee Wine Bar
I can't believe I'd yet to review Obladee! I'm a huge fan.
I'm not a big wine drinker, so you'd think this place might not be my cup of tea (or glass of wine - I don't know, there's a crappy pun in there somewhere). Not so! I don't think you can ever…More »
3. Tom's Little Havana Cafe
I was recently introduced to Tom's via the Yelp Retox - I'd tried to go before, but damn, it's hard to get a table there during happy hour.
So basically, cheap wine? Yeah, I'm in. And I liked all the food I tasted - in particular, there were sweet…More »
4. Onyx
After visiting Onyx a few times recently, it's become one of my favorite places in the city. So much so, that I need to start thinking of excuses to visit more often.
I've always been a fan of their Monday (mojitos for $7) and Tuesday (martinis for…More »
5. The Carleton
Where to begin with The Carleton? Music? Food? Atmosphere? This place is a serious triple threat.
But let's talk about food.
You haven't lived until you've eaten the white wine risotto. I recommend ordering the stuffed chicken breast, which is…More »
6. The Middle Spoon Desserterie & Bar
The Middle Spoon, it's like y'all read my mind!
Look, I'm not really into pubs or clubs, or any social outing where there's a chance someone might step on me. I'm much more content to hit up a cute, well-decorated spot for cocktails. I also love cake.…More »
7. The Bicycle Thief
I don't think words can describe how much I enjoyed my first meal at The Bicycle Thief. Five stars? Not enough. Not only was the food divine, but the atmosphere of the restaurant is very hip and relaxed, yet still classy.
I began with the baby…More »
8. Niche Lounge Supperclub
If you're in the mood for sugary sweet "martinis" (and I mean that in the best way possible) then you should consider hitting up Niche. They have great happy hours, including $5 martinis on Thursdays.
I also really like the food at Niche. They have a…More »
9. Pipa Restaurant and Bar
I've only ever been to Pipa for drinks and apps, but damn do they do those well.
OK, the special Brazilian drink they made? Amazing. It's called a Caipirinha and is basically rum and sugar. It is heaven. Go on 2 for 1 night.
My favorite app is the…More »
10. The Henry House
Need a restaurant that will please a large group of people? Need a place to take your parents? Just looking for some good ol' fashioned food? Then The Henry House is where you should be headed.
The food at The Henry House is good - not outstanding,…More »
11. Morris East
Best pizza in Halifax! It says "no" for takeaway, but they actually do do orders for pickup. Just peruse their menu online, order a little bit in advance and take home your favorite pizza to enjoy with a glass of wine!
12. The Bitter End
I have mixed feelings about the Bitter End. It used to be one of my favorite places to go, back when I was 19 and a half years old and just realizing that I WAY prefer this kind of atmosphere to that of a place like, say, The Dome. (Shudder.) And I…More »
13. Economy Shoe Shop Cafe & Bar
Like most everyone else, I feel lukewarm about the Shoe Shop. The atmosphere is great and everything else is hit or miss. I've had terrible service, I've had fantastic service. I've had great, reasonably priced drinks and I've fallen victim to…More »
14. The Fireside
I'll admit, The Fireside isn't exactly my go-to place for cocktails. Their $5 martinis on Monday nights are easy on the wallet, but not always the easiest going down. But it's a good old Halifax standby, and they have some appetizers (baked goat…More »
