    My partner and I went for date night. I got the haddock tacos and my partner got the fried chicken sandwich. The food was incredible the in-home beer and cider was so good! We got to sit by the large window and the atmosphere and view was great. We will definitely be coming back for more meals and have told others how good the food and service is as well

    This was my first time dining here, my friend suggested it. I thought I would be disappointed for some reason but I am AMAZED. I don't even enjoy seafood but the mussels and fish n' chips here are to die for. The chicken tacos are packed with flavour as well.The waitress we had was very sweet and the atmosphere was very chill, not to mention the place looks stunning! Perfect spot for a nice dinner. Definitely bringing my family here. :)

    This is an upscale yet casual bar. The setting is very nice and the interior is modern, warm and friendly. In a very convenient spot. Near the convention centre and the rink. Also, in the middle of downtown. The food was very good. The service was excellent.

    A great atmosphere, the food is pretty good and the service has always been good. The beers they have are great, a great selection, especially the raspberry sour. The menu wasn’t exactly my style of food, but everything was delicious I had, and would definitely be back.

    Amazing service from Laura and Jordan! We had the pretzel bites, calamari, poutine and the blood orange sour beer. The food was hot and so delicious and the beer was so tasty!

    Our first experience at the new Gahan House Nova Center was incredibly positive. The new location is beautiful and the atmosphere was great. Our server was friendly and attentive and the service was prompt. All of our dishes were amazing. We started with the Nashville chicken skewers and the mussels in the colliding tides & cream sauce (which was INCREDIBLE). For entrees we had the pot roast & fries and the fried chicken sandwich. Absolutely everything was amazing. We couldn't believe how good everything was. It was a fantastic first experience here and I can't wait to come back for more!

    Every time I’ve gone to this restaurant I’ve had great service from the greeting staff to the servers. It’s got a welcoming atmosphere and the restaurant itself is nicely laid out and decorated. I went during their Nacho week and their choices were great, from the vegan to the curried option. when trying out their beer, you also have the option of purchasing some to go which is convenient especially after trying their great flavours. Blueberry Ale was great! I highly recommend their Three Cheers Burger with your choice of side, their fries were nicely done. The burger was juicy and flavourful! Great dining experience and highly recommended!

    Great food, nice patio. Service was speedy and staff were attentive. The selection of oysters was good and I like that the accompanying condiments were kept plain and simple to really focus on the taste of the oysters.

    Good spot downtown for drinks and food. We went on Friday night and there were a lot of corporate suits but still thought the food and beer were great. Great tap selection and flights.

    Great atmosphere, great staff, amazing beer .. the fish was probably the best fish I've had.. perfect amount of batter and very hot and delicious.

    Very nice venue. The built in-house brewery is cool to look at. Food was great and easily paired with a good pint (or flight!). Highly recommended by this out of towner.

    Visited Gahan for a birthday dinner during four visit to Halifax from Vancouver. Couldn’t get patio seating due to a private event, but got a table for 4 right away inside on a Friday evening 9pm. The waitress greeted us and was in a hurry throughout our dinner. She seemed in a rush and couldn’t spare a moment for us to finish our order completely. The place is busy that’s understandable but wish we were treated well. The Gahan spiced fries were served bland with no seasoning. The waitress took away the bland fries and replaced with the seasoned ones which lacked flavor. The Cajun chicken nachos were really good but had just 5 pieces of chicken to which 5$ extra was charged to add chicken and all the cocktails. Hot sauce was charged extra lol, never seen this in west coast. Asked for blue cheese dip and got goat cheese. 16$ pitcher deal was best. If back in Halifax, wouldn’t go back.

    MUST TRY - Went to try something new today with my work crew. We decided to eat out on the patio which was a nice screened in area. Will definitely be back as the food selection was amazing for a quick lunch. I ordered the ring bearer burger which included onion rings and candied bacon and a side of fries. The candied bacon wasn’t as layered on as some places do but you got a good hint of it. The team ordered everything from chicken burger, tacos and fish and chips. Everyone was thoroughly pleased overall. Prices on the high end but you’re getting a dam good feed. Service was a little lacking on the patio as we had to chase them to even get near us at the start for ordering. Some of us that have been here before mentioned the same thing. Otherwise will be back again!

    Good food. Fish and chips, beef melt, and chicken burger were great. Charcuterie board was good but felt overpriced. Kids options were normal (Grilled cheese etc.) but we didn't try any.

    **09/2022 Updated** The servers were way better tonight when I went back. But I still noticed some servers still didn’t wear masks correctly when they talk to the other servers in front of the customers. Other than that everything is great! The food was super tasty. —— Never been to the old location in the waterfront, and it was my first time here in this new location. Me and my bf got pan fried haddock and fried chicken burger ( I got their fries instead of the rice). The food was tasty, we both really enjoyed it. The atmosphere and decor are super nice and warm, also love how their patio looks like (it’s closed now in the fall but every time when I passed through in the summer, it always seems so nice) -1 star for their server, the service went super poorly and slow. The server barely checked our table and everything took forever to arrive. Also I saw one of their servers didn’t wear the mask correctly, when she talked to the other server she took her mask off. I’ll still go back sometimes, their food was super good.

    11 am for Saturday brunch was quite empty at Gahan, which is great as they were able to accommodate us quickly. Server was great, and menu includes both brunch items and regular items. Food-wise, it was just ok. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, and even though it was a good sized portion that included bacon, but the chicken just wasn’t as tasty on the inside, so it was a disappointment. A friend ordered the chicken fried steak, thinking it was chicken, steak, and eggs. Instead, she got a deep fried chicken that came in a steak texture and it was really strange and not what she expected. The Deadly was not bad with sticky maple & sriracha buttermilk fried chicken and I would probably get that for brunch next time. An entrance in and a separate exit for going out. And the hostess was there to check your ID and covid vaccination status at the front.

    the server who served my table tried to do her best. The food is good and on time, always on the lookout for drinks. and he forgot to take all the dirty dishes. he did not offer dessert or anything extra.
