Description

PRIVATE DINING Let us host your next special event. Our 18th century private dining room "The Henry Room" comfortably accommodates 12 guests and we offer one semi-private space, suitable for up to 25 guests. Special menus available for groups over 25 guests. Contact the restaurant for bookings. ABOUT Located in the heart of downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, we are one of the city's oldest historic stone structures dating back to 1759. Historically a press gang was a group employed by a commanding officer to impress, or coerce, other men into service for the navy or army. Our walls, food and philosophy are influenced by the history of seafaring in our city. We offer a unique formal dining experience with a menu of exquisite seafood, meat, game, and poultry dishes to satisfy every palate. Our oyster bar is one of the best stocked in the city, with no less than three different farms featured daily. And we have a vast selection of fine wines, single malt whiskies, and classic and signature cocktails, to be paired or enjoyed on their own. The Original Oyster Bar. The beauty of an oyster comes from it’s simplicity, and sharing a plate of oysters with friends is a mutual understand that the ocean’s gifts are best in their purest form. We’ve been serving up oysters from all over the maritimes since before it was in fashion. Sit at our bar, in front of hundreds of oysters on ice, and be transported throughout our maritime coastal landscape and terroir. See our feature on thecoast.ca chosen as one of Canada’s best! Scotch, Wine & Cocktails We take pride in having a well rounded bar, with an array of ways to unwind and imbibe. The wine cellar selection and by-the-glass list are carefully chosen and feature some of our favourite local wineries. Our seasonal cocktail list is a fusion of signature cocktails from our head bartenders, and classic recipes. And, we are home to one of Nova Scotia's most extensive scotch selections, with over 100 single malts on hand.

LOVED their dishes

Popped in last Friday 30 min before kitchen closed. Was slightly worried things may be rushed or not "as good" as they could be but had limited options at that time for a nice sit down. Wasn't feeling like pub food or pizza. Felt real bad but was real hungry, Service and food were exceptional. Entertainment was lovely. Drinks were great. Preparation of the food was absolutely perfect - seasoning, cook, etc. Highly recommend. Both my wife and I LOVED our dishes. High praise to the kitchen [...]

atmosphere was amazing!

We visited the restaurant with guests from abroad. This was several months ago. The Press Gang is still being mentioned on the phone calls: Do you remember that cool place with the live piano and awesome food? We definitely want another visit!". The atmosphere was amazing. The live piano definitely make it special. The food was exceptional and the service was kind, polite and very professional.

charming with real candles and stonewalls

One of the best experiences in Halifax restaurants. Certainly the best tasting seafood. I had the risotto and my friend had the chef Bryan scallop both were so delicious and gluten free. The atmosphere is charming with real candles and stonewalls. The service staff were so friendly and professional. Julia our waitress was courteous and alert. The menu options seemed somewhat limited and the prices are not cheap. I will visit again for oysters [...]
