r and a side of screaming: On Sunday 7th April, my friends…read moreand I went to this venue after our inaugural run for a social running club. After a couple of rounds, Henry the (mis)manager refused me service, so a friend offered me his beer, which I took a sip from. Henry's colleague, this miserable and rude woman, then proceeded to shout and scream like an immature child at me - a customer - how I'm making them unsafe at work and demanding that I leave the premises. Of course I leave, who enjoys being screamed at? A few minutes later I'm sitting outside the venue on the street and I'm on the phone to my friend, still at the bar, asking when he'll leave, when Henry comes out to harass me, accusing me of screaming - funny, his idiot colleague just did that to me, yet it's okay if she behaves that way. Isn't that funny? Refusing service is part of your job. Screaming and abuse is not. If you are that incompetent at a simple task and need to resort to shouting to solve a problem, you are clearly in the wrong job. The venue was practically empty, even on Sunday afternoon, which is highly telling of the quality of staff. An extremely disappointing and upsetting experience, Henry and his idiot colleague are an embarrassment to the brewing label and the craft, as a whole.

Well, as we have been to Halifax in the past, my wife allowed me/us to have a brewery day. :) Lucky…read moreme. Keep following! Quality/Quantity - A slow welcome, but once we all got warmed up, it was an amazing visit. It helped that I have been drinking the whole day today, lol. Sampled ALL the IPAs, and then ordered a few. Settled for the Blur Hazy IPA or two, lol. Food is available, but I am on a liquid diet today. Ambiance - Small local brewery. Almost no customers, so I got full attention. Indoor and outdoor seating. 3 clean unisex toilets. Open 7 days a week. Had the longest and best business hours of all the breweries we visited! Thank you. Just not enough day drinkers or Happy Hour drinkers in this part of Canada, lol. Service - 6 stars. Not sure if he was a manager or owner...? Or just a very passionate team member. Also, it was a one person army. Not sure if there were people in the back or kitchen...? Amazingly friendly after we got settled in. He tried really hard to find my "perfect" beer; he just kept bringing me samples. See pictures. Price - $9 CAD a pint + tax and tip; $15 USD + tip. (2 pints). Expensive for Canada prices, but worth it!!! Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

Everything is so good here! The beef dip was the special today and it was so good. Crunchy baguette…read morewith hot beef and caramelized onions to dip in au jus. The backyard burgers with bacon and brioche bun were delicious and the roasted veggie sandwich was a hit. The tofu black bean spread was so good on it. The war fries comes with 3 different sauces and they're possibly twice fried because they're really crispy. We also tried the GOODMORE GOOD POUR kombucha and the NEXT PHAZE hazy IPA. Both were awesome. The hops in the Hazy IPA were unusual and we really liked it. The Kombucha tasted like elderflowers to me. I definitely recommend visiting this place especially if you're here for a day's stopover on a cruise. It's less than a 15 minute walk from the Citadel.

What an amazing little spot! This beautiful little brewery is filled with TONS of amazing beer and…read morepeople. Their flight blocks are cute and fun and made out to resemble a little train cart. They have 9 taps for beer and have quite the selection. Currently they have 'good grief charlie' a brown ale and 'wheat in the knees' which were all amazing. They have a tiny kitchen with a small but heart menu of salads, chilli cheese dogs and flatbreads (and a few other things). The staff are absolutely amazing, knowledgeable and will do anything for you, as someone who prefers a root beer to beer - they went out of their way to get me a sprite (which blew my mind). My partner absolutely enjoyed this lovely time. They also have a few games to play! Highly recommend this little brewery, it's small but it is mighty delicious.

Love this place!…read more Been going since it opened last December and it's always a great experience. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter and I think Instagram too - so you know their hours, what's new on tap, what's on the guest taps (buy local!). Trivia night #2 was a success! We ordered pizza this time from Rocky Lake Pizza across the street and omg that was the perfect meal paired with the perfect Off Track brew. I had the Sessional IPA on tap 8 (I forgot the name) and it was soooo tasty that I had two (not like me). The rest of my party went for the Damn Skippy (peanut butter mmmmm - you have to try it). Flights are a way to sample several brews - usually I do that. Love the merch! Normally, I don't buy this stuff from places but I have several items already and I'm most definitely getting the zip up hoodie next time. Lots more I can say, like... Dog friendly establishment. Projector for watching "the sports". Clean. Friendly faces - who will explain the various brews on tap. No kitchen - but you can bring your food there - ask the guys, they'll be happy to help.

Our visit was short since we already had lunch reservations elsewhere, but I'm really glad we stopped by. As soon as you walk in, you definitely still get the feeling of being inside a church, with so many original features and details preserved. We even sat near the "altar," which made the experience even more unique and enjoyable. The ambiance felt almost holy, in the best and funniest way possible. I loved how they transformed the space into a brewery and restaurant while still keeping its character intact. Our server was incredibly nice and attentive. We ordered the chicken tostadas with jalapeño crema, and they were absolutely delicious. The beer was great as well! I ordered a sour beer that I really enjoyed, although unfortunately I can't remember the name of it.

They've got a great selection of craft beers and cocktails--I went with the Purple Haze and really enjoyed it. Refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet. For food, I ordered the Chicken and Waffle Sandwich, and wow--it was incredible. Super flavourful, perfectly cooked, and impressively held together even with the runny (and delicious) egg on top. My wife went with the New Orleans pasta, and we were really impressed by how accommodating the kitchen was with her dietary restrictions. They happily swapped out the chicken and ham for shrimp, and the dish still came out beautifully done. You can tell the chef really loves what they do--it absolutely shows in the quality and care of the food. It's easy to see why this place is a local favourite. Great vibe, great service, and fantastic food and drinks. Highly recommend!

So I went to meet up with my friends, and brought my own water bottle because I dont think it's right to be made to pay for water. The man behind the bar stormed across the floor, yelling at me that I couldn't have it in there And that it was against liquor laws. I understand that, and so I told the bar tender why I had brought my own bottle, after being refused water before and he says "oh that doesn't happen here". I've never been treated so disrespectfully by any food/ drink establishment before. My friends agreed that the way I was spoken to was completely unacceptable. Revolting experience, and quite upsetting to be treated the way I was. I will never return and will recommend patrons and musical acts to not support this establishment.

Upgraded the side for the burger to the beet salad which was also delicious. My husband ordered a beer flight and was not disappointed by any of them. Would recommend coming here! Tori was our server, and she was so kind and helpful.

I ended up choosing the oysters, nachos and a 1p brown bag fish and chips. While the oyster was plated nicely in a martini glass, the tall brown bag made it hard to take photos so I spent a little extra time having to stage the food to look presentable. Other than that, I would most definitely take advantage of the happy hour specials from 3-6pm.
