wanted:
Nova Scotia Pub fare done right — Fish & chips, burgers, chowder, and wings that don't cut corners. Hearty plates, cold pints, and a right proper mug-up.
A rotating list of Prohibition-era pours, changed every month and shared only with those who know the secret phrase. Don't be left out in the cold... grab the phrase and come have a drink.
Thirsty Sailors · Ferry Scragglers · Deckhands · Wharf Rats · Dock Walkers · Landlubbers · Stowaways · First Mates · Greenhorns · Castaways · Regulars · Night Owls · First-Timers
For good food, cold drinks, live music, and staying well past last call.
Once a month, we send out THE DISPATCH — a quick email with the month's secret menu password. It's also where you'll hear about live music and anything new before it hits our social pages.

We were visiting Yarmouth for the night from Halifax and felt incredibly welcome and made to feel at home by the servers and musicians alike, the thursday night jam was a true kitchen party, and the happy hour is a great deal. Will definitely be coming back!
