Reviews of Sydney Street Pub and Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Shawn Gagne

Lansing food with an amazing view and great beer selection

Janine Hoover

Oh my we are halfway through our meal ordered calamari and the chowder with bacon wrapped scallops OMG absolutely delicious best place ever

Colin Conrad

The place was PACKED, but it was worth the wait. This was the best plate of fish and chips I had in a long time and they had a great selection of local craft brew. I definitely recommend stoping by.

john collins

Way understaffed, long wait, multiple order mishaps.owner didn't expect the rush.burger was near raw

Roy Roberts

Great food and service!

Adam Maxwell

Excellent seafood food and service. Large variety of local craft brews. ????

Alexis Doucette

The worst restaurant I’ve eaten at in digby by far! The fries fish and poutine were too salty to eat and the seafood crepe tasted rotten. Even after informing the waitress (who was slow and bland) of our experience she still attempted to charge for the meal. Actually had to walk out of the restaurant will not be back.

John Fowler

Great coffee plus music on Saturday afternoon.

Joanne Renton

Amazing food, great service, and super friendly atmosphere. We had a delicious lunch and then went back for some awesome local live music in the evening. Highly recommend Sydney Street Pub.

Glenn Foster

Enjoyed an evening of drinks and great interactive entertainment with Tim Vallillee.

Alyssa Mattie

I was completely blown away with how good the food was here in relation to quality and sheer portion size. They have set a new standard for pub food and everyone should follow suit. I'll be stopping in here every time I am in the area because it is too good not to.

Rachael R

Good food, friendly people, great times

Cheryl Longmire

Friendly neighborhood pub. Staff was friendly and good service. Food was ok. Beautiful views of Digby town and the fishing fleet.

Tullea Bays

I love coming to Sydney street when I’m home! Honestly one of the best burgers in the world I’ve had over the years. Great atmosphere, the staff has always been lovely and accommodating no matter what time of day you roll in and the kitchen consistent. You can tell that this place is a labour of love and it shines through! You make Digby a nicer place to come to!

Michael Taylor

A wonderful place to spend the evening in Digby. We initially chose it because it was open till 10pm and most of the other restaurant's closed at 8pm! The food was excellent. Certainly a strange menu for a seafood town, but it was definitely interesting. The Dutch Poutine was delicious and a delightful surprise. The seafood chowder was actually full of seafood and not potatoes! The Thai Fritter Bites were tasty as were the fish and chips. (Tarter sauce was homemade and was really good). The huge bonus of the night was the musical entertainment - Timothy V. We felt like we were at a infamous Nova Scotia kitchen party! He has an excellent voice, and sang lots of classic songs that everyone knew. He handed out kazoo's to the crowd along with other instruments and had the audience join in. It was a ton of fun!

Bruce Titan

Donna Domitrek

Excellent

Ralph Ward

Excellent food and service.

Terry Hughes

Delicious food and beer and a great view. Great service. Our only complaint was that the gap between the appetizers and entrees was 25 mins or more, when in fact we we had ordered everything to be brought out at once. That kinda spoiled the meal but the food and view made up for it.

Lisa Sooley

Well executed fare, fantastic service

Rebecca Rae Frost

Excellent food and atmosphere

Karl Davey

Great food and drink. Great view on the patio!

Carolyn Dentremont

Great entertainment

Linda King

Last night, I experienced at the Sydney Street Pub and Cafe one of the most enjoyable birthdays I've had for years. The food was absolutely exquisite, beautifully presented, plentiful, perfectly cooked and delicious. The service was everything you would expect it to be, and the Celtic/Acadian after-dinner music, spell-binding and fun. The atmosphere in this beautifully renovated pub and restaurant is friendly, cosy and welcoming. In addition, the bill was very reasonable. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful establishment in Digby. I would recommend it with all my heart to both local people and those visiting our shores.

Carrie Bova

Poor food, good service, limited beers

Alexander Elderkin

Fish tacos and sweet potatoe fries are out of this world! Also gotta try Lazy Bear brewings Honey Brown on tap.

Susan Wagner

Excellent service, delicious food

Peter James

One of the few year round open restaurants in Digby and well worth a visit. Menu is varied, food is fresh and good quality. Musicians play regularly, particularly on special dates. Viewed the Natal day fireworks from here while sipping a Guinness on the verandah, which provided a perfect view. Service is good. One of the few places where your server could be the towns mayor! Been there many times and enjoy each visit. Will make a point to go again soon.

William Lucas

Great Saturday afternoon blues jam!! 2-4, bring your axe, bring your sax!!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and ownership! Plus the entertainment is always fun and the food is terrific. This place is what Digby has been needing!

Nicole Boudreau Connell

What a great experience! Beer, delicious, food fantastic, atmosphere amazing! We got into town on Sunday looking for a quick, but hearty meal, a few beers and some American football. After being highly disappointed by less than friendly hosts ( "Good luck with that☹️!")at other local spots, I decided we'd walk a smidge further. So glad we did. Met Ben at Sydney's and we we're entertained, fed, and properly "watered" here. The wings were great, my fish and chips could not have been fresher, even the tartar sauce was delicious,the scallops: divine. And even the salad was good!! Gingerbread with Whiskey Sauce......brought me back to my childhood. Highly recommended!

Jay Garden

Generous portions, excellent food, very good local craft beer as well as big brewery options. Irish pub feel in a traditional East Coast house overlooking the harbour.

Lindsay Lock

Delicious fresh food, great patio!

TracyC C

Great food; love the great atmosphere, friendly staff/owners. Glad I found this beautiful gems. The live music was fantastic! I'll be back again!

Patrick Buswell

Great place for local beer and food. You may find the place a little on the pricey side but you get quality and locally grow food and a premium venue. Totally Worth it in my opinion.

Mark Wheatley

Food and Atmosphere we're excellent!

Paul Legros

Will go back for sure. Great people and a great meal. Also half the price for a pint to what you pay on the main street. Worth the walk up the hill! Look forward to our next visit

A very enjoyable evening on the patio with excellent entertainment by @Kim Doolittle and a wonderful dinner of delicious seafood.

Nicholas Aspinall

very charming house converted to pub...excellent view of Digby harbor from the upper deck. Food was excellent, staff was friendly, and I look forward to checking out the live music on the weekends!

Toby Mendel

Unexpected gem in the town of Digby. Excellent food coming from a wide range of traditions and wonderful views from the top deck over the harbour. Friendly host, reasonable prices. All-round great experience.

CBNS ONE

Fantastic experience. Started with the trout mousse, the pan-seared scallops and the burger as our main, and blueberry cheesecake and hot fudge brownie to finish. Best meal we've had all trip. Scallops were beautifully cooked, and the apple butter was a wonderful complement. Burger was expertly seasoned. The interior decor had such a welcoming and interesting feel that we chose to forego the patio, despite the weather being beautiful. Staff were attentive and very pleasant. All around terrific experience, hope to visit again soon.

Vicky d'Entremont

Delicious food and a great view of the water from the patio!

Patti Vaison

Never stopped here before so this rainy day seemed like a good time to try it out. We stopped for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. Good choices on the menu and specials. One of us had the chowder (delicious and full ofscallops, lobster, shrimp and haddock) and the other a smoked meat sandwich which was okay but the meat was a bit dried out. The fries were thin and delicious! Our wait person, Carol, was friendly and humorous! We will definitely go back another time we are in the area.

Staff SP Healing Center

The food was good. The service was excellent.

Chris Rose

Incredible live music coupled with friendly attentive staff and good food. Get there early on live music nights or make a reservation to get a seat near the musicians. The place is split up into rooms like so many old style pubs. We were seated in a different room from the music but really enjoyed it regardless. When in Digby, check it out for sure!

Jane Forsyth

Well rounded menu and good price to portion ratio. Great addition to the area with excellemt service and an upscale environment. We will definitely be back to check out the evolving menu changes...such a " treat" these days compared to "all things fried" or boring/ stagnant menus. CONGRATS AND WE'LL DONE!!!!

Steven Pyne

Called in a Friday night. Despite Covid restrictions, they were able to seat us straight, and what a pleasure it was. The service was friendly and fast, and the food delicious (fish and chips, pulled chicken sandwich with fries), followed by a very tasty chocolate brownie. Along with musical entertainment by a lone guitarist, the evening was completed by a very nice local beer and a Nova Scotia wine. Well worth a visit when in Sight.

Will Boyd

We had a wonderful lunch. My friend had a special grilled cheese sandwich with a smoked tomato soup. I had their wonderful hamburger. The waitress patent with us being first timers there and explained any questions about the menu. The food came out quickly and hot. The waitress checked a couple of times to see if everything was ok. She refilled our coffees and waters... Well worth the 20% tip. I will return.

Jamie Westaway

Great food and lovely setting

Melinda Humphries

Absolutely amazing fish stew, very fresh, very heavy! Lobster Mac and cheese is wonderful also. To sum it all up we sat on the rooftop patio and had a beautiful view of the Harbour as the fishing boats came in from the day, highly recommend! Great service !

Rivkele van der Weide

Very nice place, lovely food, lovely staff. We had a lovely night with really nice food. Went back the night after for dinner as well.

Katrina MacLean

The BEST sweet potato fries ever, it's always so hard to get nice crispy yam fries, but they did it well. Live(ly) music made for a very welcoming atmosphere. Lobster grilled cheese was great to - lobster wasn't overdone, which isn't easy to do in one of those kind of meals!!

C. Smith

Was great! We were there on a Wednesday and only 1 server on and up and down all those stairs serving her guests with a smile and professionalism. Carley's multi task skills were on point. She was awesome, the food was awesome, the roof top dining was awesome! I highly recommend this place if you are visiting Digby!

Scott

Classic Nova Scotian pub where you can have a chat with the mayor!

Z Oliveira

Been here a few times this summer. (been last year too, but what a difference a year makes) The first time we came a week or so ago and the food was amazing! Stir fry was the best, chowder...can't find better anywhere nearby, and love the rice. My spouse raved on about the scallops and devoured the yummy chicken flatbread that was on special! Thank you to the chef Emile! You are a great addition to the team. Love your cooking. We did go another time after that when a different chef was there. Still great, but just found the stir fry was a little too saucy for our taste, the scallops were a little colder than the first time on delivery and parsley was on everything...little too much, but still can't complain! Great food, friendly service. We will definitely be back when passing through again.
