Five dollars does not seem like a lot of money until you pay cover here. Sundays are intended to be an attraction at this place due to the cheap drinks but there was hardly a soul in there well into the night. There is no cheap drink price that could make up for the appalling behaviour of the staff here. The only few professional employees were at the door checking ID’s and behind the bar. The dirty bathroom was shocking, but it was the behaviour of two bouncers that sickened me and evoked this review. A male and female employee were loudly discussing bigoted and discriminatory views to the right hand corner of the dance floor opposite the bar. The female bouncer involved in the conversation loudly said two slurs against the LGBTQ+ community. When attempting to bring this to the attention of management/any higher power, it was taken almost as jokingly as the two employees when called out for their behaviour. it is clear this attitude runs deep through the establishment. The behaviour exhibited tonight was appalling, specifically during pride month.You would have hope any bartender, other bouncer or employee would exhibit any kind of care or concern against this behaviour but it became clear this was a shared attitude of this establishment. Extremely disappointing that this is not remotely a safe space for for anyone of the LGBTQ+community. I wish I had the names of the individuals mentioned in this review but they refused to provide them when asked. It seems as though there is no authority or higher power this can reported to so one star serves as an extremely generous review for this place.
cold food, wet fish, sticky table, no signage for ladies wash room.. took me 5 mins to figure out where the heck to go.. the server was guy.. had food in mouth ..that was actually falling out of his mouth when he delivered our drinks ? then after we where finshing our drinks ( i drank mine from the bottle and not the glass he gave as he was disgusting)..he aked my husband if he wanted another drink and didnt even ask me..lol he floor was sticky.. my husband steak looked steamed.. it was just bad all the way around.. so disappointing! only nice thing I have to say ,is the one girl that worked there was nice.
The Midtown always delivers a consistently good value dishes. Staff are prompt and friendly. And during my visit I totally forget there was a Halifax Mooseheads Hockey game at 3:00 that afternoon and I arrived around 2:30ish. They served up my order very quickly after just getting swamped, I was impressed.
My husband and I came here for our Anniversary lunch. Funny thought, I checked the ratings first and seen a post about how great the baked fish was. So we both ordered the fish. It came, I smelled an odour so I gave it the Benefit of the doubt and took a bite , sadly. My husband also did the same. My husband would eat dirt if it meant not causing a scene and even that fish was too much for him! We asked for the bill immediately and waitress asked why is there a problem? To which my husband responded “this isn’t what we expected”. She got our bill and I thought, you know what they need to know maybe we came at a bad day, the fish rotted, maybe the refrigerator was broken. Anyway, when she came with the bill I told her it tastes terrible. To which she replied, have you ever eaten Haddock before? As if we don’t know what it tastes like and couldn’t possibly be bad. Inside I’m thinking ‘listen dear, my husband grew up in a fishing village in Cape Breton. I myself was born and raised in Halifax a port city, on Haddock for god sakes. Have we had haddock? We know rotten fish! We paid for our pops and left. Won’t be back. It’s a shame, I worked at the chronicle herald the midtown was in our back yard. I ate there regularly. My advice ‘Smell the fish and make sure it’s still good before cooking and serving!’
Had their top sirloin steak, it was terrible. More like a flank steak right out of the package. Our food/drink servers were awesome! Unfortunately the food wasn't.
The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. I had the baked haddock with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The restaurant was nice and clean and the staff were extremely nice and friendly. Thanks guys.
Classic Super service great food and Good value
great time. atmosphere was awesome
The place was pretty busy. It was game night for the Mooseheads. As it is very close to stadium, its popular for pre game drinks and food. The staff did a great job. I didn't feel there was any long wait for food, beers got delivered and renewed quickly. The food is excellent. Normal pub, Tavern type food.
Service was excellent! Servers were very friendly and very attentive to our needs! Washroom needs to be updated, otherwise I would have given a five star ⭐️ rating!
