The Local Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Halifax

A small group of my friends and I were drinking and talking here, every so often a few of us would leave to smoke and then come back in, we had stamps so it wasn’t a problem. That is until about an hour and a half into our visit, my partner and I were smoking outside and I headed back in before him. As soon as he tried to get back into the bar he was denied access for “walking funny” despite the fact that he’d only had a beer that night and there was an entire full beer on our table waiting for him. When I went out to see what was holding him up the bouncers were very rude to me, I’m a smaller woman so they obviously had no issue pushing me around and telling me that I was still welcome, but my significantly more sober partner wasn't. They would not let me get a word in to explain that his second beer of the night was still full and on our table, and became very visibly upset with me for questioning their authority. I was made to feel small and worthless and went home in tears, what started as a nice evening was completely cut short by these three men who surrounded me and shouted at me that they didn’t have to explain anything to me, that their word goes and I better follow it. It was frightening and I definitely won’t be going back ever again, just a cautionary tale for all those...

Was disappointed to learn that they no longer have my fave Delirium Tremens beer, yet the patio attached (Seahorse patio?), had a delirium tremens shade tent up over some tables. Later we asked if this patio had this beer and it was also a no...

We waited for the waitress to come by for another drink for about 20 mins. Really did not see her very much, eventhough it was not yet that busy. So we decided to just get our second drinks directly from the bar instead - this was much faster.

Anyways, may be back again, would like to...

Came in from out of town and was surprised with how rude the person at the front was. I'm not used to people being so strict about the legal drinking so seeing someone take ID's at the front was a shock. When my first of four friends took out his proof of ID and sat down for a drink my next and oldest friend (26) took out his Quebec health card the man at the front refused to let him in. After a bit of arguing with the guy at the front we ended up leaving and going to Gus's which was far more fun than this place seemed to be anyway. I would not recommend this place. Very rude. If your from out of town go to Charlie's, Gus's or anywhere else but this place truly made me have a horrible feeling during...
