Okay time, wait staff were nice and a decent selection at the bar.
Irish pub located in downtown Halifax, with import beers and Irish'ish food. Looking for fish and chips in Halifax? They have most beers and drinks but they can be expensive such as Stella being $7.25. I find the place to be nice though with a good age mix, it is also pretty good for meeting girls in Halifax. Beer of choice here would be of course Stella Artois. It is quite large and is owned by a real Irish man! Well sort of.
Durty Nelly's is a spin-off of the original in Bunratty Ireland (est. 1680) and is a true, authentic Irish pub. The only place that even comes close in Halifax is the Old Triangle.
The food is really good here. Specifically, the fish is some of the best friend fish I've had in Halifax. The beer is good, but they don't pour their Guinness correctly, which kind of irked me.
The only problem: it's gotten too popular too quickly and the wait time to get a table on many evenings of the week is long. Not a major deal if you're pretty easy-going.
Oh, and the Guinness is $6.75 each. This is about 25 to 75 cents more than most other places in town.
Nelly’s is becoming a new favourite of mine, and the place seems to get better and better with every visit. I absolutely love the décor, and the staff are super friendly. The food is really good too – I especially like the fish and “fat chips” – yummy! I look forward to checking out some of the local music in the future.
Tried this new spot on Argyle for an early dinner recently and enjoyed the plank salmon and a pint or two of Guinness. Actually very good for pub food.
I was surprised the place was so full early in the evening...as we were leaving I had the feeling it was the sort of place that would be lively later on. I'll go back.
No word of a lie it's turned into a cougar bar. The first week it opened the average age was between 20-30 but it has since degraded. The first few times I went, the bar service was terribly slow, but that may have been due to the fact that it was fairly new.
