I've been warned everywhere that this club is quite the maze. I've heard that you see unwanted…read more.. erm... body parts. I've heard there's glass on the floor everywhere you step; almost like those movies. So my fellow yelpies, I boldly walked into the legend of the Dome... with a group of friends. The Dome is a maze. FACT: when I first entered, I won't lie, I was saying: PFFFFFT, confusing? ya right! But you know... the more you walk around.... hey! let's grab a drink.... more walking.... cheers? let's get a beer.... let's see what's over there.... SHOTS!...... you've GOT to see this....WHERE THE HECK ARE WE?! It's great that if you purchase your cover charge you get access to all three places, but maybe they should make it less confusing. Certain Human Parts Are Exposed MYTH: I didn't see any! Glass everywhere. FACT: I thought out of EVERYTHING, this was gonna be the biggest lie ever. No sir Bob. It's not uncommon to have people drop bottles and not have any of the staff clean the up. Wear protective shoes yelpies!! But I soon realized... that the DJ literally has 10 songs on his playlist. That's it. And they are on constant repeat. So you hear the same song at least 10 times during your stay here. My friends and I found a secluded bar section where no one was buying drinks. The woman said that our total for 3 drinks was 10.50 which is a great deal! So we forked over a 20 and she gave us back 15 in change. Great for us... not so great for the owners!

Staff member, Elisa Dalpe insulted my little brother who passed by saying "I'm glad your brother…read moredied, you deserve it" because I didn't want a relationship with her. Absolutely outlandish and unacceptable. I will not be re-visiting the dome as long as she is under staff.

While vacationing in Halifax, we made a point of visiting Bicycle Thief after hearing countless…read morerecommendations from friends. The restaurant is hard to miss, with several bright red bicycles decorating the entrance--a charming nod to its name and a great photo opportunity. We stopped by around 3 p.m. without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to snag a table for two despite the restaurant being quite busy. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and inviting. The service was equally impressive--professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling my best that day, so I kept my order simple with a hot tea and the Beef Carpaccio. Our server immediately noticed I was under the weather and thoughtfully made sure I always had a fresh supply of hot water for my tea. It was such a small gesture, but it made a big difference and spoke volumes about the level of hospitality. The Beef Carpaccio was absolute perfection. Made with AAA beef tenderloin, it was delicate, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I only wish I had been feeling better so I could have explored more of the menu. My boyfriend ordered the Linguine all'Aragosta, featuring local lobster, tomato, garlic, vino bianco, cream, and parmigiano. I managed to steal two bites, and it was heavenly--rich, fresh, and packed with flavor. The lobster was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was indulgent without being heavy. Lastly, we ordered the creme brulee and it was perfection! Creamy with the perfect brulee sugar top crack and not too sweet. It's easy to see why Bicycle Thief has become such a Halifax institution and why it's reportedly one of Sidney Crosby's favorite local restaurants. Between the exceptional food, attentive service, and inviting ambiance, it absolutely lived up to the hype. We can't wait to return on a future visit--and hopefully next time I'll be healthy enough to enjoy even more of the menu.

Charlie's is a pretty chill place to go hang out and have a few beers…read more The crowd can be a little rough around the edges but I guess the university throngs have pretty much pushed the average drinking man out of every other bar in Halifax. Pool tables are a nice addition... I wasn't really sure what the $2 cover was going towards besides upkeep? A grungy/funky spot in the North End that's for sure!

This is not a tourist bar, unless you are a linoleum architecture tourist, or a $2.75 tequila shot…read moretourist, or a tourist of watching tight knit groups of locals sit around in circular formation. Charlie's is where you go when you want to go to Cheers. (Not the Cheers on Grafton St., the Cheers on TV according to your 6 y/o mind, which is really just the the theme song, fuzzy visuals, and conflating real life people with Cliff and/or Rhea Pearlman.) In short, it's where you go when you come home nostalgic and want to see all your old friends, enthusiastically buy each other drinks like it's a genuine gift, dance to one of those weird new electric blue jukeboxes, shout and pontificate around a pool table, and generally have a back slappin, squeezey hugging, chortling little time. The decor is like any affordable house, only the door has a key code and a woman sits at a table with a guest book when you come in. This does not make you feel cool, but it does make you feel like life is funny. The bartender is so used to over-friendly drunk patrons that nothing can melt him. I imagine that deep in his core is something more kind than anything I have ever known, but it is too precious to be shared. The last time I came here, someone apologized for asking me to dance when I turned him down. Apologized. For my rejecting him. A dark little mineshaft to the salt of the earth this place is, lemme tell ya.

My wife and I came down before a Neptune show and for old times sake selected Maxwells. Same vibe! Same good music with a perfect volume. We could talk but still enjoy the music! I have a Chicken burger with fries and she had fish and chips with sweet potato fries. We both were really surprised, the food and service were awesome. Just like we remembered. We will so be back as it's just reminds me of an old downtown pub from our youth, not pretentious, not fake. A real Old time English pub with good food at reasonable prices!

During our dinner the artist was Morgan Davis and he was an amazing Blues artist. We ordered a burger and a wrap and then sat back to enjoy the music and the evening. The wrap was just what I wanted, the beef was tender and the mushrooms were so tasty. My hubby really enjoyed his burger as well. Our server was very efficient, and brought our food and drinks out very quickly. She was very sweet and came back often to make sure that we didn't need anything else. Since the music rotates nightly, there's a very good chance, we'll be back.

She was skeptical because she never knew of anyone who actually ate there before. We've both been to shows, but had nothing more than beer! First glace at the menu and I was shocked. It does have your average pub style food... but the prices were so, so cheap!! and they were listed to INCLUDE tax! A hamburger and fries for like $5.50?! Fish and chips for $6.25?! Insane!! Insanely good! I got the fish and chips (I'm turning into my father, ordering it wherever I go, uhooo!). The pieces were large and the batter was perfect; you could tell the fish was fresh. The chips were home made and delicious. We were the only people in there besides the few gamblers in the games room and the staff. So, obviously our server was super attentive and speedy; he filled our water glasses for us about 4 times! It was awesome. I feel like Gus' pub is like the hidden gem of greasy pub style food. I will definitely return!
