Unfortunately, it wasn't the best night out. We did discover there is a secret back room for smokers (not so secret--it's labeled "smoking area" but it took us a while to see it) so, that was good. However, not eating all day: NOT so good for me. I ended up not feeling well at all and couldn't drink anymore beer. What a sad night...Halifax has a million great places to go out. And to eat as well--I had no excuse. Especially considering I could have gotten food right there--they serve food until 2am. We'll do it right next time Bobby, I promise.

Halifax has 5 universities and the East Coast navy. Thus there are a lot of places to go drinking and there will be a pub or bar that will suit just about everyone. Some of the more popular spots are:
The Dome (see other nightlight tip)
Split Crow (Duke St.)
Lower Deck (Historic Properties)
Seahorse (one of the oldest, Argyle St below street level)
Economy Shoe Shop (star watching! Argyle St)
Pitchman's Pub (has a movie night on Wed. raising money for a new indie cinema, Prince St near Citadel Hill)
Your Father's Moustache (Spring Garden Road)
Thirsty Duck (Spring Garden Road)
Palace (it's a pickup joint but popular. Brunswick St. across from Citadel Hill)
Midtown Tavern (a favourite place for food! Grafton St)
Old Triangle (Prince St. Irish ... see tip)
That's just in the downtown area. There are others scattered about the city and many more downtown than i've listed. Pub crawl anyone :)))) Leave a Comment Theme: Live Music

Here's a shot of my friend Jarret in Halifax.. Hmm.. how do you get three nearly underage girls to start talking to you? Well, if you're Jarret, you simply poke one of them, turn around, and then pose for a picture.. Seemed to work for him...
There is no dress code in Halifax, except maybe at the Liquor Dome.. Leave a Comment Theme: NightclubDirections: Downtown..

Fyfer and Drum and the upper and lower deck!
Fyfer and drum always has great live bands from the east coast and the upper and lower deck is true maritime drinking. Old fashioned pine tables and benches with the ale coming around at a fast pace with the music celtic of course. They encourage you to sing along.
anything goes at these spots - however most will be in shorts and tshirt or jeans. Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicDirections: The lower and upper deck are directly beside the sheraton hotel on barrington street on the waterfront. The Fyfer and Drum is in the Sheraton hotel!! Visit all 3 in one night.

PUBS worth checking out: My Father's Moustache, Thirsty Duck, Tickle Trunk (if you're young!), The Lower Deck (A must!), The Split Crow, The Fife And Drum, The Golden Triangle, O'Carroll's, Maxwell's Plum (go here if you miss your favourite brew from home), The Midtown Tavern (cheap food and cheap drinks), Peddler's Pub, The Seahorse Tavern (YEAH!).
Pubs near the water tend to have more irish/celtic music with bagpipes. So if you don't like it, head further away from the water. The pubs around Spring Garden Road has more rock/pop music :) (not all of them have live music) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Trendy/Late Night Food: Argyle Street Bar and Grill, East Side Mario's (no idea why, since it sucks), The seahorse (thin crust pizza's), Gatsby's, The Apple Barrel (definitely quantity over quality here), Alfredo Weinstein and Ho's (right next to the DO-ME). Leave a Comment Theme: Other

So many and so little time. They are all within walking distance or crawling if you need to do a pub crawl. Watch out for Mardi Gras at the end of October. ALthough watching the sun rise on Halifax pier is great but not from the back of a Police Car. Hey I was a witness not a suspect.
The celtic music and live bands. Homegrown is the best! Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicDirections: Need to know. Just ask someone.

I recently visited Halifax, Nova Scotia where I had a quite unpleasant experience. In less than a week I also met 3 others (two foreigners and one local) who had similar experiences at the same nightclub.
Outside of Palace nightclub in the downtown area, where I was standing for a few minutes after bouncers had told me they would not let me in because I had a pen on my person, I was harassed and subsequently arrested by members of the Halifax Regional Police Department. I did nothing that could justify their decision to arrest me, so I believe it was an unlawful arrest. They told me that I was drunk, even though I had had only two drinks and they refused to administer a breathalyzer test even though I told them I was not drunk and requested that they administer a breathalyzer test. None of the officers who were present would give me their name or badge number. I have never been arrested before. Even though I was not charged I was made to sit in a cold cell for 8 hours and I am dismayed at such an abuse of police power.
There is something fishy going on at this nightclub. The bouncers are rude and antagonistic, undoubtedly the worst attitude I have ever seen in a club, anywhere in the world. Yet this is the only club, pub or bar in Halifax with a constant police presence and the police are clearly very eager to arrest people on the flimsiest of pretenses. It is as if the bouncers are provoking people to provide an excuse for police to arrest them. Leave a Comment Theme: Nightclub
