Update - 3/12/2012

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!

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 »

(902) 492-1800

Categories: Seafood, Pubs

6/18/2011

You know what? I don't think I've ever given Stayner's enough credit. After years of considering it just a tourist pub given its location on the waterfront, I never put it in my top destinations to grab a beer and an app to pass the time. After…More »
