Excellent service and food. Great back patio.
Great food and service!!!
Very good all round
Had a fantastic date night with my wife.
Good food, good service.
Food was amazing and so was the beer! The service was also very good.
Food is going down hill over time
Great food, good beer and friendly staff
nice place good food and drinks
Unbelievable food and service. Their hard root beer is second to none. Only thing is I wish they would sell their root beer in the packs or retail it at the liquor store because I love it!!!
Fantastic service and food!
Great location and food! I had a very good experiences myself but on top of that very comforting to know that they have great staff that help girls out in uncomfortable situations. My daughter and her friends went there last week and kept being approached by an intoxicated girl and guy at a table next to them asking them to come with them and asking them personal questions. She said they felt very uncomfortable and told their waiter Joe, who went out of his to make sure they would stop bothering them and were taken care off. Very comforting as father to know that their staff is not only amazing at doing their job but also take situations seriously and go above and beyond. Thank you Joe, we need more people like you!!!
Meh
Dinner
Very nice place. Great ambeance!
We waited 20 minutes for a server that didn’t show up and left. It was super slow and they even sat someone behind us and immediately took their order.
Good soup and salad!!!.
Very nice spot Great wait staff and friendly atmosphere. Ask for the back patio.
Awesome beer
I just ate at Gahan Riverside in Fredericton and it was amazing! I ordered the quesadilla and loved it! The homemade salsa paired perfectly with it and the spicy fries are to die for. The Raspberry sour was one of the best ciders I have had in a long time. The atmosphere at Gahan was great! Our server was very knowledgeable about the oysters and beer and made us feel right at home when serving us. Would recommend Gahan to anyone who is looking for a great bite to eat with great atmosphere!
Been here a few times, both times great service, great beer and great food. Staff does a great job of making you feel welcome from the Manager down.
5/5 for napkins.
Friendly service and excellent food accompanied by great inhouse-brewed beer.
Love the back terrasse!
This resto bar is probably the most high-end spot in Fredericton! Fantastic beers and amazing seafood! I didn’t want to leave this place before 3 am… but we’re living through a pandemic, so I had to head back to my hotel before I was kicked out (did I say I was on a business trip here in Fredericton???)
Food was ok. Service was great though.
food was great service even better and the beer.... memorable!! :) definitely going back
Normally the Gahan is great, but this lunch visit was two star at best, service was slow, meal was terrible and too expensive for lunch. I will go back just not at lunch time.
Amazing food, I recommend the chicken Chorizo penne
Try the oysters!
Oysters were delicious, so fresh.
Outstanding service. Chicken Tacos were delicious and diverse selection of good drinks.
A fun place to eat and drink with friends. Gahan House still suffers from working out the kinks though. Things like poor plate composition, too much oil in soup, and servers that don't bring you water often enough hinder this resturaunt. I still believe with work, Gahan House can become a go-to place.
They gave me a Burger King crown and said, "You dropped this, King." Five out of 5, would go agen.
Great spot. Food was excellent as was the service.
Food was great, beer was very good, would definitely come back again
The baked potatoes were not well done, they were a bit hard
Great food, great service.
Nice restaurant in town. A +++++++
(Translated) Nice menu and great beer (Original) Beau menu et de la bonne bière
A group of 7 found our way here on a busy Friday night a few weeks ago. Even without a reservation the staff at Gahan House were accommodating and soon had a perfect spot set up for us. We stayed for several hours and the service throughout was phenomenal.
One of the best places to eat
Delicious beers and food, friendly staff, quick service, and plenty of nut-free options.
Best seafood in fredericton.. I love me a clam jam
Food was amazing as usual, as was the service. Great atmosphere. You have to visit yourself to experience it the best
Decent food & beer selection, with seafood options. Not much for vegans though. In the summer the rear patio is nice.
Went to Gahan House Saturday night as it was the last day of Fredericton's Burger Battle. About a 30 minute wait to get in, which I expected. Staff was very accommodating to text us when a table was ready. My boyfriend and I each ordered the Burger Battle burger; I assume many people were. When our plates came, mine was dressed top to bottom in condiments - except there was NO BURGER on the bun (see photos). The server was quick to take it back and replace it, and exclaimed that the kitchen was embarrassed. My boyfriend began eating his and realized it was RED inside (not medium rare.....Red). Again, she took it back and expressed apology and said "we will take care of your beers tonight". We both had finished our first beer by this time and ordered a second - when the server outwardly asked me if she had said "we will cover your first round" or if she had said otherwise. I said there was no mention of "first round only".. I have eaten at Gahan house twice previously without incident, but we were very disappointed by several aspects of our visit this time. It's very important to me to support local downtown business and I expect more from this establishment.
Amazing staff and interior design
Great bar with friendly staff and friendly clients. Food available but i concentrated on the massive selection of beers ????
Very cozy pub, with great outdoor seating. Very comfortable. Really nice menu with excellent choices. I had the fish n chips, very large pieces of fish, one order with feed two with an appetizers. Waitress even looks like Drew Barrymore. Excellent service great food, totally recommend.
Amazing food ...drinks and service:)
The blueberry ale is really good, I found the burger that I got was dry
Good beer and fish and chips. Great location. The specials are hit or miss.
Good food and great portions. Excellent staff.
Great food, nice atmosphere.
Lovely service. Awesome veggie burger. Cool beer.
The atmosphere is very inviting, the staff are very friendly, the food is absolutely excellent. I totally recommend this restaurant. Thank you to Angela for making our visit so enjoyable.
Great food. Awesome beers.
Oysters there are the bomb...beer is ok, there's better IPAs to be had.
Great place! Upscale, amazing food! Mussels in white sauce were delicious. And clam chowder was really good. Jake our server/bartender was amazing. Two thumbs up :)
Delicious food, great atmosphere.
An excellent place if you enjoy good drinks, good food, and great service. This was my 1st visit since it switched from the Vault and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back again and again. I highly recommend the raw oysters, the baked brie and the tropical popsicle drink.
Ordered fish and chips, the fries were so hard that im glad I ordered gravy to soften them up enough to eat. Then ordered the brown bag dessert and again the waffles were so hard couldn't even eat them, told the waiter and he said he would let the cook know and that was that. Nothing about can I get you a new order...
Great beer and awesome burger! Our Server was the best too!
Great atmosphere and friendly waiter.
Great food
(Translated) Good selection of beers + food and good service (Original) Bonne sélection de bières + bouffe et bon service
Great atmosphere with good food
Top 5 fish n chips, the sauce is Fantastic
Patio was open and we'll spaced.
Went here tonight with my daughter and her boyfriend for there birthday. First time being here and it was very delicious! Will be back!
Awesome
Service
I like the atmosphere and the location. I have only eaten here once and it was good but not exceptional for the price. I will be back and I will update my review when I have more experience.
Great service, beautiful atmosphere and delicious food!
Great food great staff.
Two things I want to rave about. 1. The hard root beer is amazing. It tastes like a good root beer, not too sweet. The alcohol is just a hint until the after taste. It packs a kick but is really nice to drink. If they sold it in growlers I would buy a ton of it. 2. The kids meal is a surprisingly good value. $8 for a generous portion of food, a drink with a lot of options (we got pineapple juice), and a full size dessert. The brownie skillet and ice cream here is the kids dessert! My son was super happy and loved his food. I had the Riverside burger. It was good. Not stark raving good, but good. Service was good, and the place is comfortable.
Great service, nice interior,delicious food. The curry coconut mussels were quite good even that I didn’t taste any coconut flavour. Halibut tacos were great without the jalapeño sauce.
Went in for drinks. Great beer. We would have ordered another beer and some food if the waitress hadn't forced our bill on us because she wanted to leave early.
Bravo! My Compliments to the Chef! The Island red beer was amazing!
The food that we did get was tasty, and service was okay; however ordered ice tea none left. Ordered drumlets as an appie was told all sold out. Then when ordering desert the smore dish is not available so ordered a brownie with vanilla icecream. It arrived no ice cream. Apperanlty they were out. No notice prior to serving it and no discount granted on the check for getting only have the advertised dish. Was actually disapointed tonight.
This spot works for basic grub. I had the burger (huge) with the puniest side of vegetables. My kids had Mac & Cheese + nachos - no real complaints.
Great oysters! I have never liked oysters till I tasted the Atlantic once offered in Gahan. Stuff is kind and friendly! They have a good own production of beer that is great.
Really enjoyed this place! The patio is very cute too! Great food and service
Meal type
Great beer! Awful food.. Pop in for a drink but save your money and your appetite for something else.
Fresh oysters, Gahan makes it's own beers. Good environment. Some food better than others.
Love the food, service and of course the company! Always a good time! Look forward to my next visit!
Good food and service... Reasonable price for the quality. Will be back
This place is very nice with a cool vibe inside. I didnt try the back terrasse but it looked wonderful. The food is perfectly seasoned and the prices were great for the quality! I would truly recommend :)
Love the chicken pasta
Love to visit Gahan. We've been here a few times since moving to NB and it's always a great experience. They have a really nice food and drink menu that changes seasonally. Love trying their beers. Everything is reasonably priced. The decor is beautiful inside too. The servers are friendly but not overbearing.
Great atmosphere and awesome food !!! Thanks
Great service! Accommodated us for a larger table. Food was delicious!
This venue has changed hands a few times. Gahan has kept a great atmosphere. Have only been here a couple of times, but the staff have been great both times. Pleasant, helpful but not hovering the entire time. I always appreciate that. My only gripe would be that the food and drinks are slightly overpriced in my opinion. Compared to the competition in the area, I've noticed prices are generally $1-2 above average. Don't get me wrong, the food and drinks are swell. However, the quality, in my opinion does not warrant the higher prices. It's just something that always makes me second guess eating here. "Yeah the food's good, but I can go somewhere else and get essentially the same thing for less"... is how the thought process usually goes. Still a great experience overall.
Gahan has a very alternative selection from the average pub in town, if you are looking for something that strays from the same old pub food I would highly recommend.
Agreed on napkins. Best napkins in the city.
Good, service and in house brewed beer were great
Awesome food, and friendly staff in a really nice and unique atmosphere. They brew on site and you can try these local flavours on site or take some home. We really enjoyed our dinner experience.
Pricey , but you definitely get what you pay for.
Great food (yummy chicken curry!), Great beers, great staff, great ambiance. Loved it !
Service was good and servers were attentive. We just had apps but they were not up to what I was expecting. Nachos were average, calamari was tough and not overly flavorful. The Korean wings were decent.
Great food. Large portions. Good beer. Fast service. Cool building. What more could you want?
Amazing drinks and service was fantastic. Location is perfect and atmosphere is great.
food was amazing......we had to scream to hear eachother
Good food, service good too.
Very good food and atmosphere. Beer and beverages were good. Would recommend
(Translated) Beautiful commercial beer place (Original) Beau lieu biere commercial
Great service, buffalo cauliflower was AMAZING and the beer of course was delicious.
Dinner
Good food but menu is very standard, nothing too exciting.
The food is always so delicious here. We were happy to share a nachos together as an afternoon snack.
Dine in
Great Oysters and friendly staff.
Great food and service
Meal type
Food was delicious and the service great. Will return again soon!!
Great beer, ok food
Dined on pork tenderloin and steak frites with fish cakes as an appetizer. Bartender brought us a couple of beers to sample, which was appreciated. Meals were presented timely, tasty and warmly. First time here; would recommend.
Went in at 3 in the afternoon for an early supper sat there for 20 min (wasnt even busy) to be waited on and wasnt even offered water. No idea how the food is but the service sure sucks.
Great beers and a good selection of food
Great pub, food was great and service was good
Great service nice gluten free menu
Very good food, drinks and great service!! Will be going again!!
This was my first time dining here. Joe was beyond fabulous and was very patient with us. Food was great, wonderful atmosphere - what more could you ask for? Will be back soon!!!!
Just ok. Had the buttered chicken, pretty lifeless. Beer was ok. Beet salad was perfect, worth the order. Sadly can't say the same for the aforementioned butter chicken, mostly sauce, chicken scarce. The ginger bread dessert was dry and lacking much flavour. I couldn't finish more than a quarter of it. Waitress was pleasant, but one would expect an attentive server to notice the unfinished dessert. She looked but made no mention. Verdict? OK for beer, go elsewhere for a meal.
Best burger almost ever
great atmosphere, great food and great staff. what more can you want. we got baked scallops, mac and cheese (cooked the old way) and pretzel dip. it was all soo amazing!
Very delicious food!
I have been there only twice but each time was amazing. awesome food...I recommend the calamari, buffalo cauliflower, and salmon. my friend had been there 4 times and recommends them as well as the sticky ribs and watermelon salad!!! and we had the best service of life provided by Calvin and his leg day! if you haven't gone there yet you should! ask for Calvin's section!
Great beer selections. Food portions are large. Prices are perfect.
Great food good service parking is the issue
Great atmosphere to have a few drinks and some light snacks. Local brew choices are very interesting and can satisfy any taste. Really enjoyed this visit. Thanks.
Great food, and service highly recommend
Their burger and ribs.......!!!!! Great atmosphere and service! Awesome selection of drinks... You can't go wrong here!!
One of Fredericton's best places to eat and sample beer. Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. Menu is as advertised -- they are a legit gastro pub unlike many places who claim to be and just serve pub fare. The brown-bag fish and chips are some of the best I've ever had. For $15, this is a steal in my books. Highly recommended, especially for a date or special occasions.
Excellent menu and beer choices.
Full credit for recognizing an issue and comping my meal. Nevertheless... Wait: at lunch, took 75mins to get my meal. Multiple tables who arrived later were served earlier. When questioned, staff said they asked to be rushed. So good luck getting your food in less than an hour if you aren't wearing a suit and don't feel so self-important enough to ask for a "rush". Food: Mediocre. $19 for a simple, unimaginative steak sandwich and onion rings upgrade. I guess you can charge that much but should you? Overall: luckily I don't live here so they have nothing to worry about but I'm not coming back. Not sure where the 4.9/5 as I write this comes from. Possibly I just had a bad one-off? Good luck!
Excellent food, amazing service
Delicious and well priced.
Amazing food great service and wonderful selection of beers.
Went to the Fredericton Gahan house after a long wait time at the snooty fox. Glad I went! This restaurant gave excellent service was offered to sit at the bar till a table was ready but the bearded gentleman behind the bar made us want to stay. Pleasant and very good for business, checked up on us frequently asking how the food was and if we wanted anything else to drink..even while the bar was full. He stepped up to the plate and definitely made me become a returning customer.
Great fish and chips. Tasty beer selection.
Feel like I just got robbed. Portions were tiny and the Mac and cheese I ordered was extremely bland. The cooks suck, portions are even worse. I NEVER go out of my way to leave reviews but overall this was possibly the most disappointing meal I’ve ever ordered and everybody should avoid eating here.
Amazing food! Great vegetarian options and beer!
This is one of my favorite spots, the restaurant has a great vibe and the staff are very knowledgeable. They have a huge choice of beers and will even give you a little taste of their homebrews before you buy your pint. Food is awesome! My wife and i have gone there together twice and we plan on going back.
Great food and great service!!
Nice cozy and beautiful place for a date night or by yourself on a Sunday to plan out the week ahead. Great selection of in house beers. I had the back to basics burger. Was a hardy no frills burger. Enjoyed popping the cherry tomatoe in my mouth at the beginning and enjoying the crunch of the deep fried onions right to the last bite. Was disappointed that they had run out of the Hard root beer. Though was recommended the Vic pale ale it was a nice pairing. The fries were a little stay tasting but it is a Sunday afternoon after a busy weekend in the city. Finished off with the raspberry sour a great drink to cleanse the palette and take on the rest of the day.
Great beer, service can be hit and miss, lovely decor. The food is well above the norm of a pub/bar however they have a tendency to over season so we ask for no salt on our fries etc.
Beautiful restaurant, great food, exemplary service
Great Sticky Ribs
Food was amazing, and to be honest the brie maple blueberry appetizer was the best part.
Great food and service.
Enjoyed amazing food and drinks with my family. The dessert was absolutely to die for!
(Translated) Magic! (Original) Magique!
So good! We ate inside think we were the only ones but we enjoyed the AC. The beet salad and burger I ordered were delicious. Never disappointed here.
(Translated) Excellent beers! (Original) Excelente cervejas!
New to Fredericton, the fish tacos are great and there are many types of beer to choose from. Wed-Saturday I would make a reservation, great food & service.
The oyster bar was pretty great; I tried four different "kinds" and enjoyed them all. The server was also able to recommend a super fun oyster shooter. The Asian sticky ribs were absolutely delicious. On another occasion, I had the brown bag fish and chips which was only "okay". On that visit, they had also run out of all of the seasonal beer on tap. It was literally the first week of summer, so some planning could have done better. Overall, would recommend though. I hated the feel and ambiance of the business that had just been in this location, but enjoyed Gahans. Not pretentious, good service, decent food, and the oyster bar makes it a bit different than anyplace else in town. Good enough for me!
Great lobster roll and pickled beet salad
Good place, good food
a bit expensive. Pretty much the same, no matter what name is on the outside.
Fantastic chicken chorizo penne!
Delicious deep fried Mars bar dessert! Nice selection of craft beers to wash it down with :) Nice environment in convenient down town location.
Great spot in Moncton! I had the salmon, which was cooked perfectly and the roasted veggies were incredible. Unfortunately, the bed of rice was dry and not flavoured at all so that took away from the dish a little bit. My husband had the fish tacos, which he enjoyed! He and his friend shared the crab dip to start which they both really liked! Definitely an indulgent, cheesy treat if you’re up to it. Not a ton of options if you have food limitations/allergies.
Great service, food and drinks and a killer back patio
The nachos came with next to NO CHEESE. the hamberger on them was not seasoned, very poorly made for the price you pay, the chicken Tacos were soggy and disgusting, the coleslaw in it just made them fall apart and was most of the taco and the chicken was over deep-fried and small compared to taco lol. The pasta was the only reasonable dish we received and was small portioned and bland as hell. HIGHLY do not reccomend this place. A waste of money if you ask me. Over priced for bad quality. Will not be back and will be sure to let other people know how bad it is. Paid 60$ plus tip for this mess and ended up cooking at home!
Everything was tremendous ! Superior, warm service and everything from the chef was done to perfection ! Thanks !
Really nice restaurant, great layout!
Awesome food, awesome beer.
Food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Was a great place for my fiance and I to enjoy the superbowl!
Foods pretty good. Best Red Beer hands down!
Great food and patio.
Honestly, not overall impressed. Made a reservation 3 days in advance. When we showed up, there was not table available for us as they assumed we "weren't going to show up" - not sure why? So they put 6 of us at a booth - very squished. Finally they moved us when a bigger table became available, but at that point it was embarrassing, people probably assumed we didn't bother making a reservation then fussed over the small booth and insisted to be moved - not the case. Food was mediocre - small portions (essentially 3 fries accompanying the burger - however the mussels were great) and drinks weren't anything to write home about. Probably will not bother coming back, there are far better restaurants with better pricing, service and hospitality in the city.
Delicious food and amazing staff
Restaurant is nice inside, service is average to slow, and the food is average for the prices. Beer is good though.
Great food and beer.
Excelent service by Jacob. Yried two beers both very delicious and well developed flavours. Steak sandwich with veg was prepared as ordered and did not disappoint. Son had the pulled pork and said it was great. Good enough to send a growler to the kitchen. Well done Gahanians. I will return and recommend without hesitation.
(Translated) Excellent puff, but a little long service. Our waiter was very nice though. (Original) Excellente bouffé, mais service un peu long. Notre serveur était cependant très gentil.
Amazing food! Their apps are delicious! Good craft beer brewed in house. Two patios
(Translated) Live music and a variety of beers. Jacob, one of the waiters, was a good talker. (Original) Música en directo y gran variedad de cervezas. Jacob, uno de los camareros, era un buen conversador.
Tasty food and good service
Great beer and food! Beer was very expensive for one but the pitchers are fairly priced. It is a very cool location as well
Good food, good atmosphere, good beer, friendly staff. Will definitely be back!
Excellent food, drink selection, service, vine, staff are knowledgeable and location is perfect
We had many issues here. There was plastic found in the guacamole, no ceasar dressing on the ceasar salad, service took over an hour and 15 to be serviced and overall terrible experience here.
I had coconut curry mussels and there was literally no sauce/broth in the bowl. It was as though someone had just taken a basting brush to the mussel shells and painted them with some curry paste. What's the point of even giving me bread if there's nothing to dip it in? I've had better mussels in freaking Alberta. So disappointing. The raw oyster was good, as was the beer. The salmon in the salmon salad was tasty but undeserving of the price tag. Sigh.
Very good. I highly recommend.
Had a great meal..Cajun penne ..excellent ..fast friendly service
Great food and amazing service!!
Great beer. Friendly service.
Food was fantastic for the price, and the in house beer served on tap was a nice touch. Decor was unique and modern, wait staff friendly but not overbearing. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.
This food was some of the best seafood we’ve had! Our server Nate was wonderful! He answered all our questions and provided awesome recommendations for meals, apps and beer. Would recommend and will definitely return!
Delicious
Food was good but I found the place very dark. Lighting was poor at least where I was seated.
(Translated) Beautiful restaurant located in a historic building that was a CIBC bank at the time The fish & chips described by our waitress as one of their best seller is worth it! 3rd visit and look forward to the next time ????????

Service was great! Beer was great! Food was over priced and disappointing.
Great food and service.
I've only been to this location for their drinks. I was at a Gahan House in Halifax for food and it was good. However, I had their hard root beer here for the first time. It was incredible! Most likely the only drink I'll get when coming back.
Food was pretty tasty. Wait staff was good. Atmosphere was relaxed. A good place to go.
Very good experience. Went there with a group for beer and apps. The beer was very good and the ribs and pulled pork nachos were excellent. I will definitely be back.
Excellent service and great foods! Highly recommend!
Food was okay, waitress was very pushy, I won't be going back anytime soon.
Been here twice! The food is always great and I loved the Blueberry Ale
Awesome spot. The place is styled very nicely, feels cozy and old even though they're still quite new. The service was good. Several different staff members helped us, from seating to drinks to bringing out food, to checking in on us. All very friendly and attentive. The food was great. Pleased with all of our selections. The only thing I would change, I would like to see the prices of their beer on the menu rather than having to ask.
Great service, outdoor patio and craft brews.
Good food and good service. Their fries are delicious.
Good food but too noisy to talk. Poor music
This place has the best food and Beer! Very friendly staff and great bartender. If your looking for a fun time out with great food and a clean environment this is your spot!!
It has nice ambiance, the service is solid, the food is meh.
Friendly wait staff and great pub fare. The blueberry ale is a must try!
Great service - good food. Get the deep fried cauliflower with blue cheese and hot sauce - it’s amazing!!!
Delicious food and great beer. Fries were a tad salty.
Excellent spot to stop in for a nice meal and a cold beer! The Fish and Chips are the best around in my opinion.
Food, Atmosphere and Service......AMAZING!!!!
Really good service and great food!
Great food great atmosphere, service was very awkward, he seemed very uncomfortable serving me ????
Fantastic food! Great beer selection and the service was exceptional, even on a packed and stormy night. Plan to visit often.
Great food and great service !
I love gahan house, and this location is no exception. Excellent beer, food, and service
Good place with really nice atmosphere. Lots of options and food. Live osyter bar is best.
Party of 10 on a Sunday night, our waitress was sweet but terrible. Forgot orders, took forever for everything and didn't clear anything from out table. 10 of us drinking, apps and meals, it was a bit crowded after we sat there for 2 hours. 2 people from out party were ill after eating there. Second time there, unfortunately we will not be back.
Food was delicious. Nice and friendly staff.
Best raw bar in North America
Great beer and location
Sticky ribs!!! No need to say more!
After going a total of 4-5 times, I have a mixed feeling about Gahan House. The first time I went around opening, I had some amazing food with really good portion sizes, but the second time, a few weeks later, it wasn't as good and some of the portions for the appetizers seemed a lot smaller. I ended up going a few more times with friends, but it seems like the quality keeps going down. I'm not sure why this happened, but for a place that's a bit more expensive than normal pub food (few dollars more), I'd expect the quality to be there. For example, the burger was perfectly cooked the first time I had it and fries seasoned perfectly, but the next time I had it, the burger was overcooked and the fried under seasoned. The first time I had the calamari, there was plenty to share between three people, but the second time we got a lot less. Gahan beer is very good tho, and this is the only place I can think of where you can get a full selection of Gahan beer. I recommend the Blueberry ale (tastes like blueberry pie but not to sweet) and the Sir John A. The crab dip is one of the best crab dip I've had. It has a very nice crab flavor.
This place is our favorite restaurant downtown. My husband LOVES the oysters and the on site brewed beer is delicious.
