This has been the 'it' place to drink and people-watch in
Halifax for well over a decade. On weekend nights, actors and journalists figure heavily
in the crush. It's a pleasant place for afternoon drinks and the kitchen dishes out tapas un-
til last call at 1:45am.

What could be better than a place that serves only beer, wine, creative cocktails
and decadent desserts? How about one with a super secret - should we even be writing
this? It has a speakeasy-inspired lounge downstairs that serves even better cocktails. Get

Garrison Brewing Company
BREWERY
OFFLINE MAP
(1149 Marginal Rd; 10am-8pm Sun-Thu, to 10pm Fri & Sat)
Not much beats a $2 taster glass
of craft beer on a sunny patio except maybe five varieties of tasters, which is how many
the brewery serves on tap each day. Other bottled beers are sold in the shop but, because
they're not legally a bar (and Canada has complicated liquor laws), you can't drink them
on the premises.Brewery tours are available by reservation.
Onyx
COCKTAIL BAR
( 902-428-5680; 5680 Spring Garden Rd)
A sultry place for a chic cocktail, the Onyx has a
backlit white onyx bar that serves a huge selection of fine wines, single malt whiskeys
and nine signature fresh-fruit mojitos, among other options. Imbibe small plates of
Asian-French cuisine made with local ingredients.
