 1. The Paragon Theatre - CLOSED

2037 Gottingen St
Halifax, NS B3K

Category: Music Venues

5.0 star rating
  3/15/2010

The Paragon has proved to be a staple venue for music lovers and cool kids of the night. Its survived rumoured closures, questionable renovations, a new name, and lucky for us- just plain refuses to stop groovin'.

The space is a bit long and narrow,…More »

5.0 star rating
  Update - 5/13/2010

Its been a few months since my initial Tom's review; however, throughout this period, I've spent a substantial amount of time (and cash) here and wanted to provide an update as a reoccurring customer.

Day or night-- Tom's rocks. I've found daytime…More »

(902) 423-7786
4.0 star rating
  3/20/2010

Gus' is the go-to spot for eclectic carryings of live music. When the weekend rolls around and the kids come out to play, this is a serious contender for kewl music and sweat-stained dance parties. Folks are dancing shoulder to shoulder, but nobody…More »

I hadn't been to The Company House until recently, and I must certainly make an addition to my "Nighttiming" Yelp list. The Company House is a great little North End venue with some fantastic musical offerings.

Live music, djs, open mic, fundraisers,…More »

Halifax, NS B3J 1A1
(902) 423-7200

Categories: Music Venues, Pubs

4.0 star rating
  3/11/2010

The Seahorse is a bit of a dive but its a great spot to go for live music and friendly times. Cover is generally pretty cheap compared to other late night venues and the range in music is pretty vast. Hip-hop, dub step, bluesy funk, electro madness-…More »

Halifax, NS B3J 1X1
(902) 492-4036

Categories: Bars, Dance Clubs

5.0 star rating
  Update - 5/22/2010

Dear Tribecs,

I've become accustomed to your retro car-seat perch along the upper bar wall. Cosy, comfy and the ultimate view for a voyeur. While Saturday nights are most hyped, I find myself clipping down Granville for a Friday fix of dancing and…More »

Halifax, NS B3J 1V7
(902) 423-9797
5.0 star rating
  3/10/2010 First to Review

Words to the wise: The Sonic Temple is a dream venue for music lovers. While it typically exists as a recording studio for artists, The Temple occasionally houses live performances within its walls.

So. If ever you catch wind of a show happening at…More »

Category: Gay Bars

4.0 star rating
  3/19/2010

While my Reflections nights seem to be more of a dulled memory, I look at this place with a smile. Its the night club in Halifax that integrates an insanely vast array of social species under one roof. Ravers, punks, straights, gays, lesbians,…More »
