Drinks & Nightlife

It's loud and full of young (and young at heart) people looking for a good time. Pool, shuffle board and typically great music from DJs and bands in an up-scale environment -- not a typical night club.

Great food, moderate prices, awesome place to watch the game (pick one, they have ~50 TVs and big screens) but don't let that turn you off ... it's classy but elegantly casual and not a tacky sports bar despite the screens .... you can go there on a date or you can go with friends for a good time or a business meeting

Sightseeing

If you're new to Halifax or if you just want to go see the city these folks offer a variety of things to do. Check out the Harbour Hopper for a land and sea tour of fun facts or go on the Sylva or one of the other ships they have available for harbour cruises.
