    What a bizarre pub. Two of us arrived at 5pm for dinner and drinks after work. It was busy, but…read morethere were plenty of servers and we weren't in a hurry. We were seated right away... but then we waited. We waited 20 minutes for a server to come to take our orders, another hour and 10 minutes for burgers and fries to arrive, and then after we finished our meal, another 45 minutes for our bills. In that whole time no one stopped by the table to ask about a second round of drinks. I would have taken the poor service personally, but the tables around us were all having the same experience. The only upside of the bar is the TVs. It looks like a fun spot for watching sports but I definitely won't be back to find out. There are too many restaurant options in downtown Halifax to waste your time and money here.

    Bad bad service. I was asked 3 times by the exact server for my drink…read more I finally said I won't have anything because she could not remember a beer. They sat us next to the only other people in there that were yelling when the whole place was empty. The server clearly knew she was giving bad service but did not care . We overheard the server complaining about us when looking for the washroom. We had to find her to pay so we could leave to go across the street to get some real service. Food we do not know as we were not given a chance to order any food. Ambiance was ok. It should be called the PIT not the pint. Clearly the managers/owners don't care either.

    Resolutes Club is not only the best kept secret of the South end, but also one of the oldest…read moreamateur athletics clubs in Canada. 'Resolutes' is a members only club, but for a few dollars you can join and enjoy live music, pool, shuffle board and some of the cheapest drinks in the city. The 'social membership' at Resolutes will run you $10/annually and gets you in the door. (there is a pass code) If you want to be a voting member of the Resolutes Amateur Athletic Club then you need to shell out a whooping $32/annually. Membership dues go towards supporting various athletic organizations in the HRM such as: Metro Mens Soccer League, TARS Rugby, St. Mary's Football team as well as the Resolutes Pool league. Resolutes also offers some pretty great pub grub!

Yes it is a private club that is for members only it is almost like an old boys club house. Walking in you have bar located at the front with is a full bar equipped with everything. Happy hours still rings at the Resolutes Club making the drink even cheaper. Pool table and dart boards location at the back of the bar make sometimes very competitive. Large screen TVs are location always displaying some form of sports for the boys. I have attend many functions and parties at this club and always had a great time at each event. Drop on by and ring the bell maybe they will let you in.

    Was wearing a Trump 2020 hat and was asked not to return. Asked why and was given no reason. Went…read moreback and told we had to finish our beer and leave, and all the time looking at my hat and not explaining why. Woke ideology is all I can think of. We are spending good money, disgustingly unappreciated. Don't go there in case someone is listening to your conversations. Go Woke. Go Broke.

    This review is for the Bayers Lake location…read more 1) Lost 2 stars for poor customer service and lack of information: We walked in at 7:00 p.m. to try their Friday trivia night. (We had called to book a table for trivia and when we walked in, they said no need to reserve--it doesn't get that busy. That should have been a warning.) We sat down for our meal. By 8:30, the first round of trivia had only concluded (this is considered slow--more on that below). That's when the server came by and grumpily asked if one of the people our party was 19 or over (he's 18). When we said no, she said he had to be out of there by 9:00. She didn't think to tell us this at 7:00, knowing we were there for trivia? No signage anywhere on the premises saying "Patrons under 19 have to leave by 9:00 p.m."? What kind of short-sighted policies do they have here? They were happy to take our money and not tell us that we'd have to leave by 9:00, knowing that we wouldn't be able to finish trivia. 2) Lost 1 star for slow and uninteresting trivia. Questions were read straight from a card by a host who didn't seem interested and didn't engage with his audience. He read each question slowly about three times, hence the s-l-o-w pace where it took 30 minutes for one round that didn't even have audio or video clues. The lack of players should have been our clue that this trivia event is not a success. 3) Lost 1 star for loud, eclectic ambience--this place doesn't know what it wants to be. The trivia was taking place at the same time as music on the speaker and sports TV were playing, all jumbled together at the same time. Maybe that's why the host had to repeat each question slowly several times. But hey, if you want to watch baseball while answering questions about Thomas the Tank Engine and listening to Mumford and Sons simultaneously, this is the place for you. If the food were good, it could save this place, but nope, just mediocre fare that could be served at any pub. And don't get me started on the quick little brown movement we saw out of the corner of our eye, darting under the dining tables. We know it's common for restaurants to have this problem, but flagrantly in the dining room while we were eating makes it easy to warn everyone we know never to come here. Solid nope, nope, nope for this place.

    I can't believe The Narrows Public House isn't here in Yelp, and I may regret adding it. This place…read moreis a special dining experience. Even though we knew about where it was, we walked right past the beautiful two-story historic house initially. We knew by taking a look at the website they do not accept reservations, which was fine with us. We were, however, going on a Friday night. On walking into the main entry, that space was packed wall-to-wall. Within a few short minutes, one of the staff greeted us. They don't exactly have a formal wait list here, from what I could tell. The staff member offered us the drinks menu and asked if we'd like to order something while we waited on a table. We ordered up a couple of pints, then looked around for some open space to stand. They have two standing bar rails, one in the main area near the bar itself and another one in the middle dining area. This place has about the most creative layout of booths and tables I've ever seen. They do have an outdoor patio out back, but we didn't take a look at that. They have quite a few very comfy two-person booths around the interior. It appeared the way the wait list worked was that they either have a phenomenal memory, or they actually use the bar tab you open to work like a wait list. It seems to really be more about how many you have in your party, and the exact size of any tables/booths that open up. We might have waited about 30 minutes or so for our table for two up in the front of the main dining room. Every single person on the wait staff here is amazing. Let me just get that out of the way. The beer list is great, loaded up with so many good local and Nova Scotia craft beer options. The food menu is what really makes this place special, though. We were on vacation, so we may have a tendency for our eyes to be bigger than our stomachs can handle. There was just so many amazing looking dishes. We started out with a pickle jar, fried taters, and the tomatoes appetizers. I have to say, and my wife agrees, the tomatoes dish was the best of everything we had. Its made up of sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, shallots, capers, and garlic chips. All that is sitting on top of creme fraiche. By the time you're finishing the dish, you start thinking about a straw to finish up that creme fraiche. Good grief, that was so good. Don't pass on the fried taters, though. Those seemed to be mashed potatoes formed into rectangular big fries, cooked almost like panko and served with horseradish sour cream. After all that, we could only muster splitting the deli style chop salad with cold water shrimp on it. Our great waitress talked us into an order of the brown bread, a very soft kind of Irish soda bread I believe. That bread just melts in your mouth. If you decide to venture out to The Narrows, you're in for a total experience. You'll feel like you stepped back in time to a real British pub... the house must be from somewhere around the mid 1800s. Every room is warm and cozy, with beautiful woodwork and curious antiques in all sorts of nooks and crannies. You may have quite a long wait depending on the size of your party and how busy the place is, but trust me... its worth every minute.
