It's easily four times the size I recall, with numerous decks at various levels and a free service area in the large patio by the main entrance. Here you order you victuals from the small bar at the back and get a great view of the boardwalk and harbour. There's plenty of shade for sun dodgers, servers galore on the decks and the usual pub fare if you're eating. I spoke to the delightful manager who reported trade, in season, way higher than of yore and I can certainly see why. Easily the best spot on the waterfront and a must visit for locals and tourists alike. Will definitely be back while summer lasts.

Great outside bar on the boardwalk. Great menu but I only had beer. A very crowded popular place.read more

They have 12 beers on tap, and various beers on cans and bottles. Food seems to be mostly sharable appetizers. We tried: - Propeller Galaxy (6.5% $7.6 for 16oz): hazy IPA style, simple, a hint of hoppy. - Trailway Voyager (7.8% $7 for 12 oz): like a hazy IPA, citrus, sweet, smooth. Bartender is attentive and chill atmosphere. Overall: great place to grab a drink and hangout.

Horrific is how I would describe our experience on June 21st, 2025…read more We reserved space on the Stone's Throw Patio for a company group with out-of-towners included in the 28 people (6 kids in the group) at 5:15pm... on the patio. Drink and food orders were taken by 5:30 for everyone. At 6:15pm when we had only received the initial water and the server had not returned once with our drinks, nor the truffle fries ordered for the tables, nor even a return visit to freshen up the water, we spoke to the manager on duty. At 7:00pm we had our drinks and still no table fries and no food. We were continually told it was coming ... "10 more minutes" or "give us 20 minutes." I even warned 3 women with 3 little kids looking to go in that we had been there 90 minutes and nothing but they still went in - AND got their food within 30 minutes!!!! (We were reluctant to leave with such a large group, as we were not sure we could find anywhere else to help us) At 7:41pm (they close at 8), when asked again about any food, Frank said give us 20 more minutes. I asked if any food from our order had even been started. No was the reply. When we said - that was it, we were done, and to get the drinks bill, he tried to say it had been started. At this point, I had gone to a nearby place (Thank you Lower Deck!) who said they could help us, we paid the drink bill and left. In my entire life, I have never experienced such poor service from any place anywhere. How or why someone could not get our orders in and going, orders which were taken by the server by 5:30pm is beyond me. 2.5 hours and all we got were drinks. Horrific service. Embarrassing for us too - we were trying to show off the great place of Halifax to the CEOs visiting and as much as everyone tried to keep it light - the experience left a poor taste in everyone's mouth... the only taste we got! Never going back and tearing up my Marriott rewards cards as well. And yes, we are reaching out to speak with the general manager as well.

They have a large selection of vinyl available to be played, pinball machines, lots of seating and a big bar area. They have most stool seating which isn't overly comfortable for me but they do have a couple of large booths as well. The menus had a few vegan options (green side of the menu). I tried the Rudolph Reds, which was red potatoes, brussel sprouts, green onion and vegan mayo. Hubby had their lentil burger and fries. The prices are decent and the food is good. Nothing fancy but tasty and perfect for a bar setting. I loved the pinball machines, artwork on the wall and vinyl hanging from the ceiling. Definitely a fun place to hang out and grab a bite.

We got here at 3pm (posted Yelp & Google hours) and your friendly team said you open at 4pm... My wife and I did not want to just hang out for an hour, in the middle of nowhere and without beer.... Not sure if I was smart enough to check your website for business hours?!?! Heard good things about your beer, so we went out of our way to come. We walked about a mile! Small tap menu, small food menu. I am assuming keeping it simple = amazing quality?!?! Ambiance - Beautiful location. Nice indoor and outdoor space. Open 7 days a week; see their website for specific hours. There is an upstairs "speakeasy." Service - N/A. Well the employee was nice and told us they were not open until 4pm.

Quite a local following for the music as well. We'd been out eating our way through Halifax and I showed up still full room lunch. But I did see colleagues get the burgers and it looked amazing. I settled for a couple locally cider pints and the fried pickles. Not disappointed at all! Ryan at the bar hooked me up with local ciders and his recommendation was spot on! Chloe took outstanding care of our table and she was great to chat with ...... when she wasn't covering 20 things at once! Would love to stop in again and grab one of their epic burgers. It's on my list. Thanks Ryan and Chloe for making this such a great time!
