    A local cidery in Halifax. The varieties are mainly semi-sweet ciders, so be aware. There are lots of seating area inside with displays to buy to-go.

    Awesome spot. I love the aesthetic! The cider is of course amazing (try the raspberry if they have it) and I can't wait til food is available. Customer service was 15/10!

    Delicious hard ciders with lots of various flavors to pick from. Great atmosphere that is very laid back and very conducive to studying or having a casual chat. Their original is a great standard cider, but we also really enjoyed their Gold Cider which has a sparkling sweetness that perfectly contrasts the usual dryness.

    I’ve been to Bulwark Cider House a couple times before and I really enjoy this tap room. It’s a small space, usually quiet when I’ve been in. There is a wide selection of Bulwark’s ciders. There is always something interesting to try. On this occasion I had their Rum Cider, pictured. I received a generous pour and it was quite tasty. I’m of the opinion this place doesn’t get the recognition it deserves! On the way other hand I’m somewhat happy that’s the case because it gives me a nice place to pop in for a drink and think. If you’re looking for the same this is one of the best places you could go.

    Incredible ciders at great prices! The place is nice and cozy with a good choice of tap and bottled handcrafted ciders. The patio offers a calm place to drink outside. The staff was nice, friendly and extremely helpful to chose our ciders. A must in Halifax!

    Bought some cider here. Amazing. Just superb. Particularly impressed with the peach vanilla cider. I wish they shipped to other places across Canada!

    Bulwark Cider House has both a store and a sit in area where you can order a flight of their ciders or individual glasses of ciders. A few 4-person and 2-person tables were available throughout the small shop. Quite a chill spot and the ambiance is good to bring a date. They serve pizza on certain nights which is a plus if you’re hungry at the same time. The person at the counter was able to recommend beverages that we really enjoyed and ultimately bought four bottles to enjoy. Not sure if wheelchair accessible as they have stairs leading up from the front door. Good beverages, good ambiance, and overall definitely come back again to try their other drinks.

    Didn't have any food, but the service and atmosphere are great. Ciders are delicious and I really like how you can order growlers and take them home. Also the non alcoholic ciders are also delicious.

    Great place to have some drinks and relax with friends. Last time I was in I had a flight with one of the flatbread pizzas and it was excellent. The staff was great as well, very friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth checking out if you like cider. There are coolers also filled with product that can be purchased and brought home. Much more convenient then travelling to the New Ross location for the wide variety they carry, or scouring the limited options at local NSLCs.

    Lovely little tucked away place. Fantastic cider and good pizza in a warm atmosphere. Sometimes they host some fun events too and student deals. Little bit of a climb if you're not great with stairs, however.

    The best ciders I ever had. Especially loved the Rose cider

  • 5/5 Van N. 1 year ago on Google
    Went on a date night when i moved to halifax on a sunday - quiet evenings and intimate space by the fire place. Order 2 set of flight and 3 flatbread pizza. Recommend our favorite, blush cidar if you like a sweeter and a blast of flavour! The flat pizza is a great combo with the cidar helps compliment each other and helps soak up the rich flavours of some of the cidars. Will definitely come back next time with a book and a cidar in hand. 😊

    Cider was good. Service wasn’t great, server was pretty rude, she messed up the food order and the nachos were very unpresentable and not what you would expect all we got were chip crumbs no actual chips, hardly any cheese on them and what cheese was on them was hardly melted. I would not recommend anyone to get food from here.

    Loved it here! My partner and I eat ordered a flight so we could try 8 different ciders and we liked all but one. It's a cute place - pretty small, but nice. The service was good and we will definitely be back (probably too often). Only disappointment was that we arrived after the kitchen closed, which was okay, but we couldn't even order a bowl of nuts, which I didn't understand because it doesn't seem like that would require a chef.

    Great and unique ciders, this was the best cider tasting I have had yet! There's also such a big selection that you can't find one for your taste! Really a must in Halifax!

    The workers are super friendly and willing to help with anything you need. The service is quick and the drinks are delicious. Definitely a great place to spot by if you're looking for a nice cider!

    A lovely pub style environment, great ciders and friendly staff. Order a flight and try them all! You can grab your own food from (for example) Pete's opposite and bring it in. 3 nights of the week they have pizzas.

    I love bulwark ciders and happy to be able to find all different flavours and new flavours there. My boyfriend also got the rum that he loves but couldn’t find at NSLC for very long time. Definitely it’s the place we will come frequently to check some new flavours or new sets! ❤️

🫤 Overall experience was not pleasant. This was recommended by my friend, so we thought to give it a try. Bartenders was fantastic, very professional and helpful all around, however, the waitress on the other side was completely different. Not only she forget to check on our table for about 35 minutes...
