Staggers Pub & Grub — Restaurant in Dartmouth

I've been to this establishments three times over the last few months. The first was during Pride where they were hosting a show for the Halifax Drag Kings in which I had a friend performing and others attending that I was very much looking forward to catching up with.

Right at the start it's good to know that this is a place that supports the LGBTQQIP2SAA+ (I think that is the most up to date  label) community. In doing some research it looks like they have been allies of this community for quite some time. The staff were busy that night but we're as attentive as they could be given the circumstances. I only had soft drinks  but was surprised at how cheap they were when I went to pay my bill . Overall the atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming on this initial visit.

The next day a family member and I we're looking for somewhere to go for an early brunch downtown and found that most of the places we're not open till after noon on Sundays. We walked past this place and realized it was open and they were serving breakfast so we went in with me chuckling because I had just been there the night before. They have a specific breakfast menu available on Saturdays and Sundays which we ordered from.

I had the breakfast poutine which I found very enjoyable. It was a good size serving at a reasonable price and was it better than some of the breakfast poutines I've had at other restaurants in the city (for those who may not be aware or breakfast poutine is when your eggs, hash browns, bacon, etc, are all combined or somewhat layered usually with hollandaise sauce which I usually substitute with ketchup). For $13 it was a good meal.. My family member had the basic breakfast and they were happy with that as well.

The same family member and I were looking for a place to eat dinner downtown last Sunday. After looking at the menus of several places we decided to try this place again. I had a chicken Caesar wrap with fries. Was pretty standard but all the ingredients appeared fresh and my fries were overflowing on my plate. My family member had the club sandwich which was quite a bit bigger than we were both expecting so much so that they were leftovers. I did have one part of it and it was very good as well. The prices were definitely reasonable with meal only being $11

Our server was prompt and pleasant and did the best you could given that there was live music going on at the time. There were locals singing and you can tell it is a close-knit community that looks out for each other as donations were made for one of them who was going home to Ireland until next summer. They also appear to take karaoke very seriously as there was quite the setup happening when we were getting ready to leave.

I hope to come back to this place again because someone recently made me aware that they have a back room with retro arcade games and pinball machines. I very much look forward to playing these games for my youth the next time I visit (I’m looking at you Simpsons arcade game and Street Fighter). Overall seems like a very nice establishment and I'm glad it's here in...

a bit of a disappointing experience last night. my friends and i drove all the way there as they advertised they have pool, however their rule about pool is extremely unfair and clearly biased. the ONLY way you’re allowed to play is by beating the other person who won last… so it’s just 1 guy the whole night hogging the table. completely ruins the fun for everyone.

we put our names down on karaoke, but when they’d say that we were 6th in line, in reality we were 8th or 9th. not a big deal, but was a bit upsetting. they didnt even call my partners name whos birthday it was..

service and drinks were fine. one of the bartenders was kind, but overall the vibes were not as welcoming and friendly as i’d hope a queer bar would be.

everything else was just fine.. but if you’re going there to have fun and play pool with friends dont...

My experience Location is excellent in downtown Dartmouth, however, parking is in issue. Layout and decorations are very special, I liked the drawings on each table, during our visit ☺️ it was quiet and cozy. My understanding each night they have a live music, it must be different. Cleanliness, was within expectations Wiating time to be seated, we went for lunch and we were almost alone 😔 Service, tge lady toke our order was friendly 😀, well knowledgeable of the dishes and the ingredients. And was very nice too. Waiting to get the food, was within expectations 😋 😌 Food was delicious 😋 😍 but quantity was ok. They have the wings night, must be special. Prices, was below expectations, affordable, and $ (you should try them). Conclusions I will try the wings day, and I will visit the place again. Special thanks 😊 for...
