We cane here to enjoy oysters and took advantage of their 1/2 dozen oyster with beer deal for $25. The oysters were very fresh! My friend got the 902 IPA and enjoyed it. I enjoyed the strawberry jalapeño margarita. Ask for it extra spicy and not too sweet! Service was friendly, fast and extremely dog friendly! read more

The Gahan House establishes itself as a regional establishment demonstrating genuine commitment to contemporary gastropub cuisine with Maritime sensibility. This heritage property thoughtfully balances historic preservation with modern culinary aspiration. The kitchen demonstrates technical competence across a diverse menu spectrum. The oyster preparations showcase particular refinement--properly brined, impeccably fresh, presented with restrained elegance. The fish and chips transcends pub cliché through superior execution: crispy exterior yields to moist, flaky interior, complemented by properly balanced tartar. The house-made charcuterie reflects thoughtful sourcing and curing philosophy. The beverage program commands particular attention--the on-site brewery produces well-articulated craft selections that demonstrate brewing acumen beyond mere novelty. Beer pairings with dishes evidence intentional consideration. The wine selections, though modest, reflect deliberate curation. Aesthetically, the venue embraces its architectural legacy--brick, timber, and original details provide authentic context while contemporary flourishes avoid pastiche. The multi-level space accommodates various social configurations without compromising intimacy. Service delivery occasionally wavers between attentive and distracted, particularly during peak periods. Some dishes prioritize plating flourish over flavor coherence. The basement facilities, while charming, require navigation challenges for accessibility. Yet these minor inconsistencies cannot diminish what constitutes a destination meriting serious consideration. The Gahan House succeeds through integrated vision--culinary, architectural, and hospitality elements cohesively articulate genuine regional pride while embracing contemporary standards. A venue rewarding both casual visitation and intentional culinary exploration. read more

There a quite a few gastropubs in Charlottetown so you are spoiled for choice but we were happy that we chose The Gahan House on our recent visit to the city. We had excellent service and our drinks and food were served promptly and with a smile. As we were vacationing on PEI, I wanted to take advantage of every opportunity to sample local fare. The pan fried haddock was perfectly cooked and served with a very interesting chutney. It made a nice change from the usual tartar sauce. My husband enjoyed his burger which also had out of the ordinary seasoning and toppings. The fries were amazing. A lovely spot with indoor and patio seating, I highly recommend The Gahan House if you are in the area. read more

Have never had a bad food experience here and there's great beer on tap. The menu switches up and maube the only disappointment I've ever had was a favorite item coming off. My son loves the fishand chips and I'm personally a fan of the fried chicken sandwich. But they do most things well. Highly recommend! read more

Came to watch soccer game - we tried their beers / great selection of beers. Also had their beef nachos - great size dish enough for 2 people. Overall good place read more

Friendly service. Delicious food. Good selection of draft beer. Downtown wharf area. We tried the beat salad chef salad, and burger with fries. The fries were exceptional!!! read more

Went with a friend for a catch up brunch date, and it felt like we were in a movie, the ambiance inside feels so mid century! Inside had so much character and charm, and to top it off there was live music playing and what an experience! To the excellent service, friendly smiles and inspirational decor, it made our brunch a superb experience! Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a romantic date night spot on the Island in town! read more

This place was great! Great old school pub style vibes inside. Service was very friendly from the host to the bartender to our server. Food was delicious! Seafood chowder was so hearty and flavorful. We got 2 of each broiled oyster, yummmmmmmm!!! We also got the beet salad with goat cheese and candied pecans and loved that as well. The fish tacos were also a hit! Sauces were delicious. read more

This is a great find. Historic building houses this brewery. Rustic interior gives it a warm and welcoming vibe. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The beer selection offers a wide variety of choices. I had a DIPA which was citrusy and delicious. The East Coast Oysters were the perfect complement. If I lived here I would definitely be a regular. read more

My heart will Gahan.... For their beer & nachos (I cannot claim this statement as they names a burger "my heart will Gahan" but hey it fits the bill when you have to hype a place up that honestly doesn't even need hyping) I live around the corner from Gahan on Sydney St in PEI and while they do have a few locations in the East Coast I can assure it is a unique, well serviced, and delicious experience every time!! It was actually one of the first places I ate at when I first moved to the Island and it was in the summer time so I got to enjoy the outdoor patio and live music that graces Sydney st in the warmer months. I frequently enjoy Gahan brews which are brewed by PEI brewing on the Island and served on draft and in cans all over the island and dang they make a good IPA. My most recent visit was actually the first time dining indoors with some friends for a mid week celebration and we got blessed with some fantastic live music, really awesome service, and freakin great food! I will say, the summer can mean some slower service just based on how busy they get (often have to wait for a table) but in the winter time you can get seated and have food and drinks pretty fast. Sydney St Gahan is in an old historic house so you walk in and it has a cozy vibe that is fun and energetic without taking away from the intimate setting it can offer making it perfect for both groups, families, or a date night. The big windows and decor are warm, where if you are lucky enough to go at Xmas you'll get all the Merry vibes that Ch'town has to offer. The basement is also really cool, where you go to use the rest rooms and can view some cool brew tanks and history too. Note: I am not sure if this an accessible restaurant for those with physical limitations. While I enjoy all their brews, the IPAs have my heart. 1772 is a PEI staple and for those that like a juicer brew, the Snowbird is fantastic both clocking in at about 6-6.5%. The seasonal's are SO GOOD TO! The Gold Ale is a smooth easy drinker and my fav, the West (coast... I can't remember the name) IPA, is a double that is fruity and hoppy, less bitter finish than the 1772 with notes of winter YUM!! (Watch out, she's a 7% though so have fun ;p ) The menu at Gahan changes with the season but they have year round staples and are really putting together awesome flavours here. The Nachos are great, perfect layering and LOTS of toppings. The beer cheese is great and no lack of olives and jalapeños on there either. Seafood is always on the menu and they have fresh Oyster and Beer specials throughout the week. Calamari is delicious with a house chipotle aioli, and fries are crispy and deliciously seasoned. The sweet taters are also so good here too, if you are a fan def worth the extra $. The lobster dip and bacon jalapeño dips are def crowd pleasers and I have no complaints about any of the food I have gotten here! Notably, the menu changes with the season but also is accommodating to those who have dietary needs like vegetarian and GF. Actually, they have a ton of delicious veggie options (not sure about vegan) and menu is always updated online if you need to peep at it before you go. So what are you waiting for?! GRAB SOME FRIENDS, grab a brew, and enjoy!! Bravo Gahan! I will be back (maybe I'll even get a summer job to enjoy further... ) Putting the FOOD in Canada's Food Island for sure! read more

Terrible food. I have a big appetite and couldn't even finish my plate. The amount of salt on the food is actually wild. I thought the chef was playing a joke on us. That being said, the servers and front of house staff are lovely. They are the only reason this place gets a second star. read more

HH $6 beers everyday 4-6pm except ciders. Fish Chowder soup is very good. Great service sitting at the bar.

The ambiance was good. It is an old, interesting building with indoor and outdoor eating areas. The service was fine. The food was also good, a bit too much spice but very tasty. The downside was the basement washroom. A bit hard to get there for older folk. Also, not dirty but a smell of urine. That is the reason for 4 of 5 stars. read more

Ryan is the best server! So fun and helpful. Oysters are incredible. Fish and chips is a go to. It is loud but a good place to talk loud and for large groups as well as small. Not disappointed. Great beer! read more

Well prepared food, Good menu and the service is outstanding. Not wheelchair accessible. Very cosy decor

A very rustic, old school Irish pub. Tried the fish and chips which were good and huge (bigger than they appear in pictures!), though a bit too oily to consume in one sitting. I also tried the pretzel bites - the bites we're good and plentiful, but the cheese sauce left much to be desired. read more

Love this place! Located near beautiful St. Dunstan's basilica, it is a great place to stop and eat while walking the streets of charming Charlottetown. Start with the hard root beer. It goes well with everything else I'm about to share. For an appetizer, you can't go wrong with the mussels. With the Tarragon white wine cream, these are some of the best ever. The waiter recommended the Chicken and Chorizo Penne. Now, I'll be honest with you. I was a little hesitant going with a dish with "Cajun cream"'in the Maritimes, but it is an excellent dish. I highly recommend. My wife had the seafood chowder, which was incredible! I'm not sure if you can get this as a side, but definitely get it as a main meal or a side, one way or the other. One caveat ~ it comes out scalding hot. Just keep that in mind before you take a first big spoonful of it. But the soup is pure perfection. Easy five star here. Food is out of this world, service was excellent, and the location is right where you want it. read more

Beautiful and historic. This a very welcoming restaurant with great service and cheery attitude.

The staff here was sooo nice and friendly. Sat outside with our dog for a beer and every staff member came out to greet us and see the dog. Beer was really good too! read more

Nice setting and obviously a favorite for tourists and locals alike. I thought the food was fine. Just fine. Not great. We were in another town where another location of Gahan was, just days later, and decided it wasn't worth re-visiting. I had the fried chicken sandwich, which the server recommended. It was tasty, but fell apart as I was eating it and I had to tackle with a knife and fork. My husband had the curry special, which just turned out to be vegetables and rice. We were grateful to have food because we were particularly hungry. But it wasn't anything memorable. read more

Delicious Haddock Tacos! Fries are also some of the best I have had. Tuna poke was also good but on the small side in terms of fish portion.

We were persuaded into this quaint looking establishment from its amazing architectural looks and the reviews online. Maria immediately greeted us and walked us to a cozy part of the restaurant. She made some suggestions and the wife and I went with it. We had the lobster roll with Gahan spiced fries and Each had their local Beach Chair Lager brewed right here in Prince Edward Island. The food tasted fresh and everything turned out superb.... We will continue having lobster roll through this 14 day cruise and will rate this lobster roll accurately at the end. As it stands now it is the best. read more

Had some really great oysters. The home brewed beer is excellent and the fish and chips are excellent. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely return next time I'm in town read more

Pretty good place for a drink and a couple oysters. I had the flight of the Honey Wheat, Blueberry wheat, Oatmeal stout, and a seasonal IPA. All were delicious but the blueberry wheat might have been the most interesting and best beer of my trip to PEI. Oysters were 10/10, and although it was the only thing we ate here, I definitely want to go back to try more dishes, every one that passed us looked amazing. No complaints but also no crazy highlights in our short time here. Service was great. read more

Aweful. Slow service and overcooked and burnt food. The atmosphere is nice but that's where the nice stuff ends.

My mother sent me this to my surprise while I was isolating. They delivered right to my door and got the order completely correct. Everything was hot and delish. One of my favourites here for sure. My favourite is the pecan dessert, definitely recommend! read more

We called for a table but they would not take a reservation for 4 people. It was quite busy when we arrived but we were seated in about 15 minutes. The service was friendly and helpful and the washrooms were on the lower level. My sons ordered the hard root beer and raspberry sour from the beer menu. My son was upset the root beer was made with vodka and had no beer. We had the cauliflower app which was fairly sour. The baked Brie was enjoyed immensely by hubby and son....topped with blueberries and candied pecans and served with toast. They ran out of pretzel bites which we really wanted to try. Hubby had the chorizo pasta which was huge...he enjoyed it. Both sons had the burger but said it did not taste as good as it was described. I ordered the burrito bowl as it was gf and I told them to hold the sour cream. It was made with Cajun spiced fried rice and it was spicy! But also delicious. My guys shared the brownie which was a large portion. I had the gf coffee cake which was sweet and yummy in a caramel sauce. read more

Had a great afternoon snack and some really great beer the day after Canada day here at this beautiful brew pub! ***We were in Halifax for the fireworks on July 1st In Charlottetown the weather was bad on Canada day so they put the fireworks off until the second so we got to see them from our 7th floor room at the Delta How great was that! 2 Canada Days! Oh sorry, got a little off track there so back to Gahan! They had some really great oysters, juicy and plump... the east coast oysters are bigger than west coast but both are great! We got them baked and had some of all three they had to offer & I would highly recommend!! I had the Brown Ale on tap it was a serous beer and the second I thought was excellent was the Island red, that would probably be my go-to beer if I lived in Charlottetown. Loved the atmosphere and the people are great but all the people in Charlottetown I've met have been super friendly. Love this Brew pub! Love this City and its people!! read more

I had supper this evening at the Gahan House. They are repairing the front entrance so you have to go in through the rear entrance. There was a 30 minute wait for a table so I had a beer at the bar ... a Sir John A's Honey Wheat Ale. It was good. When a table became available, I ordered supper. I ordered nachos for one (with no onions or olives) with spicy cheese dip and salsa. I also ordered chicken wings with 1772 IPA BBQ sauce. Both were good. They have growlers from other providers on the wall on the way to the basement. They brew their beer in the basement. Suzanne was my server. She was friendly and took good care of me. read more

I love this place. There was a very short wait time and we got a seating of seven without a reservation! I am a very picky eater and they got my order right on the first try! My only complaint is that the entrance smells bad, but I understand that some people may like the smell. Overall I enjoyed the food and also for adults, they have a large selection of beer. (I am underage so I couldn't get it and I didn't.) 4 stars!!! I am totally coming back tomorrow read more

When we got our text to come back we were thankful to be inside this warm, quaint, funky restaurant. We tried the lobster dip, Mac and cheese with braised beef, and I had one of the best charcuterie boards I've had, paired with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. The staff were friendly, decor was cool, and it was delicious. read more
