Reviews of Harbour house ales and spirits (Night Club)

Amy Henson

I loved the feel of this place. Food was good. A little disappointed in the cleanliness of their patio though.

Sophie Moeller

What an amazing experience! The food was absolutely incredible and the service, efficient, friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going back and trying the other dishes that looked oh-so amazing!

Robb Clarke

Food was subpar. Ingredients were bought at SuperStore or Sobeys and just assembled. Nothing our 6 year old couldn't do at home.

Joel Waterman

Fast and friendly service. Local beers and ciders available.

Sheri Cameron

Food was good but small portions for the price

Peter Clements

Servers working hard. Food was wonderful. Prices were about $8-$20.

Ugo Ducharme

Nice personel and good menu

Holly Cox

The restaurant was very hot and uncomfortable. We mention this to the serve several times. We finally after sitting there sweating for 30+ minutes opene the windows behind us to let some air in. Only to have the owner go outside, left the screens and slam the windows shut. Not one word to us until my husband confronted her about slamming the windows shut. Then she said she would move us, that could been offered 30 minutes before, we had just started eating. Not a very good experience at all.

Chris Joseph

Fantastic experience here. Had the lobster dinner, raw oysters, and Oysters Rockefeller. Prices were good, service was great. Beer selection was good, with 4 craft beers available as well as the typical list of domestic and imports. Also enjoyed the house Moscato and a tiramisu. Oysters could had been opened with more care, there was more shell/debris in the oyster than we are accustomed to.

Jimmy Arsenault

Place was very busy due to it being Canada Day, but the service was amazing. Waitresses were very caring and sincere. Food was good quality. Would recommend for sure

Rae Nicholson

Ate there this evening. Recently renovated with a quaint decor. Clean! Chairs and tables comfortable and solid. Staff... friendly, knowledgeable and went out of their way to help with the menu and choices etc. Food... I had 'Roxanne's Seafood Chowder' small bowl... thick, delicious body with no shortage of haddock, scallops and lobster. Served with a lightly toasted roll and butter. Ask for a twist of lemon to enhance the fish flavor. Main meal... Quesada with a spinach side salad. Quesada shell was toasted to perfection on the grill and served with salsa and sour creme. Side salad was generous and served with a couple of choices of dressing. Impressions: Pictou has a new food hangout. Really good food, reasonably priced. We'll be back again to try some of the other offerings on the menu. R.A.N.

Darlene Chisholm

Great place to go for drinks and good food. Lots of great menu choices.

Lisa Mouton

The staff here was super friendly and the mussels were awesome.

Winnie 3x5

I had the Greek chicken with penne pasta. They should have called it soup...the tomatoes and onions were literally FLOATING in their "Greek sauce" (which is just Greek salad vinaigrette). Also, for having ales and spirits in their name, they have a poor selection.

Renée Martel

We had a couple of beers and really enjoyed the ambiance here.

hxlym001

Good but not fantastic.

Judith Haggerty

It is a prime location by waterfront in Pictou. Their ventilation system needs to be repaired asap as inside is smoky and greasy. Good service. Food offers minimal servings though.

Wayne Whitty

Pretty bad when you have to set up an account just to see what's on a menu

Emma Dwyer

Music bingo is the best! Great staff and service, plus friendly environment. Recommend the tomato soup and Shepard’s pie.

Ian Creaser

This is an okay place to go. The staff is really nice and food is okay.

Andrew Walsh

Fast, friendly, fantastic

Debbie Hillier

Food was amazing

Angela Jeffrey

Lovely! Good soup and nice selection of drinks, pleasant atmosphere.

Konner McDonald

Prices are reasonable, food was great, cheesecake was amazing!

Stephen.Murray 226@gmail. Com Murray

Lunch was amazing.

Liz Bradshaw (pezliz)

Excellent lobster roll. Service was a little slow, but it was pretty busy. They don’t have a deep fryer, so everything is oven baked, which isn’t a bad thing!

Mike Egilsson

Fishcakes and a pint - delicious!

Mike Mchenry

The tomato red pepper soup with feta was excellent! Served hot . Chicken brie roll and husband had the seafood casserole. Both delicious! Our waitress had only been there for two weeks but she was wonderful. Would recommend this place.

Gary Ogden

Good food. Great location.

S Goudey

We walked in around 7:30 pm the waitress said they were full looking like about 45 min wait can we text u when a table opens I said sure. 50 mins gone by not text. Went back around an hour later. My friend walked in person behind bar heard door shut but didn’t turn around. Another waitress came up to her asked if she could help my friend told her we were in earlier they took our name number about an hour ago haven’t heard anything back just wondering how much longer. The person behind counter turned around and said we stopped taking anyone a half hour ago Not taking anyone else in. It was 8:30 pm by that time I was not impressed with the service. She didn’t even apologize for any inconvenience Just sent her away. The problem with that is we were there over an hour ago and were told they would have a table later for us. We didn’t just show up at 8:30 expecting a table. We went to the marina bar and grill who were very friendly and the food was great and served food till 10 pm ended the night on a good note I work for tourism and won’t be sending any travellers to their establishment. This is terrible customer service

Darren Tuck

Tasty!

Justin MacDonald

Denied service

luke naylor

Great food! Lucky to have a spot like this not only in the town of Pictou but in the county!

Ian Carmichael

We had the wings and they weren't very good. The waitress was great, the atmosphere was fine.

Julie Johnson

Food was mediocre. Had the sliders, pulled pork was not that good, sauce had little flavor. Add some spice or more ingredients to the sauce. It was bland.

JcCameron93

Great food at a good price and good atmosphere.

Geraldine Drake

I had the pork sliders, Wendell had their Harbour House burger. Food was really good. Ambiance great. Huge patio. Service was quick and friendly staff. Definitely coming back here.

A hidden gem we always stop at if we are on the Eastern shore. Great food and if you like a craft beer then this place is a must!

Riley Kellock

Great food, good price, views of the water what more could you want

Finnigan MacPherson

Delicious food, especially the mussels! Very friendly, welcoming staff and always good conversation at the bar with the local patrons. Also a nice choice for some from the tap beverages most other local pubs don't offer.

Lisa Bennett

Great food at really reasonable rates, lovely space and great staff! Highly recommend!

Ryan Wark

The fish tacos were delicious, and the spices were perfect. The battered haddock had me wishing it was a simpler beer batter. The service was excellent and friendly staff.

Wayne Cochrane

Extremely friendly staff, with a lovely interior decor. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Pictou.

Katy C.

Great service, great place,! Regular food, nothing special, which i look for when i go to a restaurant, it's pub food & nothing more in my taste

Susan Hardin

Beers were good. Pumpkin ale and Dirty Blonde on tap. Greek salad was tasty.

Doug Publicover

Tasty food and good service

Kevin Chrysler

Here for lunch, the Chowder was amazing!

Bill Wolff

We met chef on the way in, he started our night there (told the waitress he'd dragged us in off the street) I had seafood casserole, delicious and my wife had the shepherd's pie best she ever had. Waitress was friendly and entertaining looked after us well.

Sebastien c.l

(Translated) Good little restaurant. (Original) Bon petit restaurant.

Chrylann Deck

The view was thrilling. We came in time to watch the tide change direction and had a fantastic meal too.

Jim Sullivan

Really nice setting and great food.

Spencer Doue

My wife and I had lunch here and it was delicious! We were greeted and served by a very friendly woman and the restaurant was very comfortable. I had the chicken/brie/pear sandwich with side of chowder and all was very tasty! My wife had the chicken club with fries and thought it tasted great too. Our only slight issue was that she is lactose intolerant and most everything seemed to have cream or cheese (luckily sandwiches can be made without cheese so that's a good workaround). We even had dessert and the brownie and toffee pudding were both on point - absolutely delicious. This place has good parking out back and is near to the water - it was quiet on a Sunday afternoon when we went but I get the feeling this restaurant is well-attended - and it totally deserves to be! Excellent meal and service and highly recommended if you are in Pictou

Mary Frances Theriault

Great patio! Try the on tap mojitos!

Garguilo Family

Good food, decent prices with kids meals. Limited menu options.

Laurie Arrand

Delicious! Excellent variety.

Kyle Bonnar

Staff are friendly and food is delicious. Nice place to spend a quiet evening on a Friday night. Their Tomato and Feta soup is a definite thing to try !

Stacy Peters

The owner Roxanne is a gem and our meals were delicious! It's busy in there, reservations are a good idea if possible. We loved it! Will be back!

Zsuzsanna Gáspár

We were here in January. The meals and service were amazing. The seafood casserole was my best choice, highly recommended.

Matthew Hengst

Beer and surprisingly good nachos, what more could I ask for?

Angélie McCarron

There wasn't any part of the meal that wasn't great; service and food in a timely manner. Yeah!

Michael Hull

Lobster "Burger" special is a flatter lobster roll and really good. The chowder was awesome. Staff was supper friendly and attentive. Great big patio(s) with options.

Paul Legros

Nice veiw and nice staff. Food was good. Try the fish and chips.

Tony Sargeant

This restaurant was about the best place to eat with its Fish Chowder apart from that we would never go back to this small town, it was late in the year October, but to town itself was all closed down and a boring place we thought to visit. Not one to suggest for the distance you have to drive to get to a worn out venue is how we saw it.

Jason M

Great atmosphere, and close to the water. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.

E K-R

Today I went for lunch at the Harbour house ales and spirits. I ate inside the restaurant the tomato soup was enjoyable, the fish tacos were fine then I ordered the seafood pasta to go. It was very disappointing, when I returned home all it was was sauce no pasta and a minimal amount of seafood. Exception being haddock. So disappointing when I was looking forward to enjoying my pasta.

Ashley Coady-Deagle

Delicious food, fantastic service. We were served promptly, food was piping hot and the environment was very warm and welcoming. Price point is middle of the road, but you won't leave hungry!

Miri Lars (Miri7609)

(Translated) It was the only restaurant that was open Sunday evening. Friendly staff, simple food. (Original) Het was het enige restaurant dat zondagavond open was. Vriendelijk personeel, eenvoudig eten.

Christina Vandervlist

Terrific food and lovely waitstaff in a stunning, picturesque little fishing village.

jin hee lee

nice foods

Wil Sevigny

This is a nice place for a quick pint or a full sit down meal.

Samuel Solomonov

(Translated) Nice restaurant pub Good service and pleasant The food is good and the beer also has to take into account that the place closes fairly early at 21.00, it should be noted that there are no other options. In any case we were not disappointed there was a good meal. (Original) פאב מסעדה נחמד שירות אדיב ונעים האוכל טוב והבירה גם צריך לקחת בחשבון שהמקום נסגר די מוקדם בשעה 21.00, צריך לציין שאין במקום אפשרויות נוספות. בכל מקרה אנחנו לא התאכזבנו היתה ארוחה טובה.

Debbie Sanford

Great food. Great staff. Loved it.

Laura Murphy

Lots of fun. Good crowd, great food!

Karen Cock

Very good food and entertainment Thanks

Heidi Gould

My first visit to this restaurant, and it won't be my last. ???? Lovely atmosphere, our little waitress "Savanna" was TERRIFIC!! The food was excellent! It was a birthday celebration and the staff accommodated our needs by making one of their desserts into a cake..candles and all! Excellent experience on Pictou's beautiful waterfront.

Darren Falls

I recommend the pizza, beer and roasted red pepper soup

Caroline Hobbs

Great staff and service. Fantastic food!

Erwin Greven

Excellent tomato basil soup.

Anne-Marie Legere

Great place. One of favourites. The staff are wonderful and they were taking all the necessary precautions to keep patrons safe. Definitely recommend@

Rae D

The staff members were wonderful. We were seated on the patio (which is beautiful) and one woman came around with blankets and mosquito repellent as the sun went down, so thoughtful! There were no interesting gluten free options so I settled for a salad, but my husband said that his shepherd's pie was the best he's ever had! They offer flights of local beers, and have a selection of ciders as well.

Brian Burton

Great food, great service great prices

Jenny May Enta

Loved it! Must try the Seafood Chowder!

Vicki Marsh

Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local craft beers. He recommended the soup and wrap special and I would recommend the roasted tomato soup as well.

Great service and tasty lunch spot outside for 3 of us-the soup and wrap was delicious

The service was excellent but the seafood chowder left alot of seafood behind, not enough seafood too many potatoes

Michael Feiner

Jamie 472

Dave Deveau

Dropped by today for Lunch The Servers we’re very nice although not very well trained Had to keep asking for things I E condiments etc. Lobster Burger was sparce the Blue Burger was to overpowering with Cheese. Bathrooms were very unkept. The Place felt like it was the last order of the Season and they were getting ready to close. Thanks

Mike Feiner

Outstanding food and entertainment. Never had a bad meal!

Marine Blanc

Great burgers! The crispy fish was delicious. Yet, we went there on a Saturday night and waited quite some time before someone got our order and served the plates. So, we didn’t take a dessert.

XadomX

This place was said to have 'great cocktails'.. they dont serve pina coladas or long island iced teas so probably not the best spot for a cocktail.

Krystale Penny

Waited 40 minutes and left. They were very nice about it, the food looked and smelled amazing. Would go again

Heather Manuel

What a great lunch!! The food is delicious. All 3 if us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Our waitress was attentive, friendly and polite. I highly recommend!

Paul Lowe

Did not visit this place what must be happening is that you walk by and your phone must pick up there WiFi signal and the internet thinks you were there ????????

Brenda Penner

The food is great, have to say I wish their deserts were a larger portion...they were a year ago. Good but way too skimpy, especially for 6.99.

Mike Fairservice

Food and service were both awesome.

Al Upshall

Service was extremely slow, 45 min for a pizza and pork sliders that weren't hot when they came out. The place had about 30 people inside and a few outside as it was raining. Even water we asked for took over 5 min to arrive. Waitress was pleasant and curious, food was nothing special. Won't be coming back.

Kim Tetreault

The food is always fantastic and the service is wonderful. Highly recommend!

Janice Porter

Good food, good service

Larry Rhindress

We made a reservation on Sept.5, 2019 for 8 people at 5:30. All of our meals were ordered at 5:55 and we did not receive them until 6:55 with one of the orders forgotten, but delivered after the server was reminded of the error. Although the food was acceptable, other than the burn french frys, it gave us very limited time to finish our meal and attend a concert which started at 7:30. Excuses were made but not acceptable ones! We will not be returning to this restaurant!
