Reviews for Durty Nelly's Irish Pub in Halifax, NS
We came here on a weekend to check out some live music. The music was good. Our initial male bartender was super nice and... helpful. We then switched to a table closer to the music and our female server had a bad and curt attitude with an "order,drink, finish and move on" vibe going on. We didn't stay here long as a result and would have preferred going elsewhere. But themac and cheese was pretty good. Read more
Nice little daytime restaurant. Old school pub look and feel. Had the smoke burger. Burger and bun was on point with the Gouda.... Fries were on point (real potatoes) and the service was perfect. Portion on the fries seemed to be lacking. There was not enoughflavour in the provided sauce or not enough and the bacon was burnt to a crisp. Hopefully this wasn?t the intended smokyflavour.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! This is exactly what you would expect from a Halifax Pub! Ice cold beverages, Celtic music, delicious... food, all at a very reasonable price! Their award-winning seafood chowder is worth the airfare to fly to Halifax! Sounbelievably good, and loaded with fresh veggies and ingredients, and complimented with their fresh baked Guinness brown bread. AWESOME! Topped off the experience with their fresh made, sinfully good, sticky toffee pudding for dessert and we were inmaritime heaven! We tipped huge! Thank you owners and staff. What a treat! :) :) :) Read more
Reputedly, one of the most popular pubs in Halifax, especially Irish Pubs. It definitely gets busy so, expect long lineups. We... were able to get in by coming a little earlier before the crowd showed up. At first, it was a quiet, nice ambiance. The staffwas very attentive and, everything was going smoothly. We had an assortment of appetizers and entrees, and everything was goodfor pub fare. Unfortunately, as the crowd grew, things started to get hectic, louder music and people all over the place. Thestaff also started to become more demanding, like if you were to put your glass down for a minute they will come up to rush youinto ordering more or leaving. We were a party of 5 and we were all eating and drinking so, it felt a little unnecessary. Read more
Good food, good cocktails and a good vibe! This place also had live music, not sure if they have live music playing every day of... the week but I had gone there on a Sunday evening. This place is good for going solo as well as hanging out with a large gang.Would love to go there again. Read more
Great live music, super friendly staff, fun mixed drinks, and awesome food. The bread that they use for their sandwiches is... tasty and so are their homemade croutons. I want to go back asap to enjoy another Caesar salad! Read more
I have been there a few times, but I always think this is a very average bar. Food is okay, not many choices during the happy... hour tho. Today I had a awkward experience when I visited. We were sitting next to a narrow aisle (near the entrance), and afew people just sat in the middle of the corridor and chatted for a long time. I felt very crowded and uncomfortable becausethey were very close to us. The server was not great, and when we asked for the menu and drinks, she just threw them on thetable without any words. In addition, when she checked us after the food arrived, she directly touched my plate while I waseating. Overall, the food and atmosphere were okay, not sure if it is worth going back. Read more
Stopped by for lunch after a self guided walking tour of Halifax. Donnie and Rachel took care of us. They were great! Service... was top notch. Both of them made us feel right at home. I loved their style of fish and chips. The fish was cooked to perfectionand the chips were delicious! Loved their selection of local brews. The Toller was my favorite but they were all excellent.
