1. The Bitter End
Fine. I concede: The Bitter End has long sunk below the five-star rating it once deserved in my books.
Once upon a time, this was a gorgeous, classy space where you could order one of the best cocktails in the city. Unfortunately over the years, the…More »

You know what? Yeah - I'm ready to bring some love for The Bitter End. With gorgeous interior brick… Read more »
2. Onyx
Oh Onyx, we've shared so many great memories!
Remember that first time that we met when myself and a whole crew were all slutted up and headed to a trashy bar? I believe I was wearing a t-shirt that said 'More Rock than a Crack House' when I stumbled…More »
3. Nectar Social House
Dartmouth, NS B2Y 1C2
(902) 406-3363
Categories:
Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch,
Gluten-Free
If there's anything that should make Halifax nervous, it's this one block in downtown Dartmouth. Check it out: Two If By Sea for coffee and croissants, the Interlude Spa for pampering and prettying, and Nectar for fine dining and cocktails. They…More »
4. The Armview Restaurant & Lounge
Retro diner meets hip DJ lounge? Yeah, I can dig it. It's like taking an authentic journey back to the good ole days if those good ole days were far cooler than they actually were. You just kinda want to run up to people's tables and start awkward…More »
5. Economy Shoe Shop Cafe & Bar
I had a hard time with the star-rating here...I don't seek out opportunities to visit the Shoe Shop but at the same time I don't feel terrible about bringing people to see one of the most unique interiors in the city. I also don't actively have hate…More »
6. Jane's On The Common
Halifax, NS B3K 4M7
(902) 431-5683
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Canadian (New),
Gluten-Free
Jane's kind of makes me sad. On the one hand, it's a delicious and creative up-scale bistro that really remembers its vegetarian and gluten-free friends when putting together a menu. On the other hand, all I want to do is go there for a weekend…More »
7. Pipa Restaurant and Bar
Now that I've been in for a proper night at Pipa, it's time for a review update!
Five of us made reservations for a late dinner on Saturday night and it couldn't have been a more perfect setting. We scored a gorgeous table in the corner of the…More »

What a lovely little taste of something different in Halifax!
Having visited purely for the purpose… Read more »
8. The Fireside
The Fireside is what I like to call Halifax's scrappiest cocktail bar. Known for its Martini Monday (more than any other location that does the same, in fact), it manages to lure university students away from the usual suspects for a night of getting…More »
9. Domaine de Grand Pré
After many envious drive-bys of the Grand Pré Winery without ever being able to stop and visit, I finally made a point of checking out their Thursday Summer Martini Night. These special events are hosted every Thursday in July and August starting at…More »
10. Liquid Boutique
Now, reviews for Liquid are going to be a little obvious, I think. If you're a drinker of any kind, you're going to love this place. If you could care less about consuming liquids particularly of the alcoholic variety, then you probably won't get…More »
