- PrairieladyRegina, Canada29 contributionsHad a beer flight and every one of my choices was great but the Diablo was my favourite for sure. The outdoor patio was very nice and relaxing. I decided to have lunch there after looking at the menu . I had the chimichanga which was very very good. Thanks Amber for the great service. Would highly recommend if you enjoy good beer.Written July 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 154957N_m_12Fredericton, Canada64 contributionsStrong and varied wine list, excellent food, and the gorgeous decor. Staff know their stuff: our server recommended some excellent wines that we enjoyed with a great cheese platter.

- AcadiaFernbrookBrampton, Canada358 contributionsPacifico’s Dine Around Halifax menu looked great and there was live jazz so we were excited to try this place. Absolutely loved the venue decor and atmosphere. The high ceilings & central bar in a former bank, splendid! The band, G Street Jazz, was awesome. Unfortunately the food and drink definitely need upgrading!
Maybe because this is a young people’s dance club masquerading as an upscale jazz club but the drinks are mediocre, the bartender had difficulty with a dry martini & the glassware is unimaginative. The chowder was flavourful, the Mandarin salad too sweet, the salmon was good, the beets & carrots were done to perfection but the poor fingerling potatoes were roasted within an inch of their lives. The beef Wellington was the most disappointing. Either it has been done ahead of time & reheated or was cooked from frozen. The pastry was a disgrace. The desserts were adequate. Even though it wasn’t very busy, the service was at best average.
I hope that management decides who they will cater to & pay attention to reviews.Written February 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Came in for some Saturday music beer and snacks
Had some beer and had the nachos. The band was a little loud for my liking but it could be the fact that I am not use to it.
The nachos were great although the peppers were hot for my liking but I will have to say that at least all the nachos were covered in cheese and toppings unlike a lot of other places I have had the nachos
The decor was absolutely what I was expecting compared to some of the comments I have seen on here. Some people expect the world. The seating and tables were in good shape.
When I return again and hopefully for good, this will be a regular place I will visit as the staff was very friendly which is a huge plus in my booksWritten June 29, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Cheerful and extremely helpful wait staff. Thank you Cassandra.Written July 1, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Yun-niang LTaoyuan, Taiwan1 contributionThe place was ok, but I didn't like the music. There are different floors with different DJ. The place is big, but the music isn't fun enough.Written June 28, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KorkmazPerkAntalya, Türkiye706 contributionsIt is in a great building. Historical with really high sealing. Billiard tables average quality. The place is not for pro player. Billiard tables was not clean. Decoration has to renew ASAP. The only plus was barmaid.Written April 4, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- YLupienWinnipeg51 contributionsThis is an establishment targeted to the student population backpacking their way through the country.

We were seated at the bar while we waited for a table to be cleared on the patio. The bartender seemed uninterested in getting us our drinks. When we did order, she took her time to pour or beers. Once we moved outside, the server asked the host (in front of us) in a very snobby tone "What are THESE people doing here!?" The dialogue continued, and made us feel like an inconvenience. It was rude. They were rude. Not the best service. Not the best food. This was the only place where the classic East Coast Hospitality was not felt.Written April 30, 2014This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- avery1234Medicine Hat1 contributionI was in Halifax for an AGM and on Thursday November 6th went in and had great service and an awesome pizza. We decided to go back on Monday November 10th at about 10pm. I decided that I wanted spaghettini with meat sauce and added meatballs. The waitress was a little snotty and told me that I really wanted the spaghetti because it comes with meatballs. I explained that I really wanted MEAT sauce not just a tomato sauce. After a few sarcastic statements by the waitress, one of which being "I have worked here for a year and a half, I think that I would know if there is meat in the spagetti sauce. I felt pretty reassured that I was going to get what
I asked for even though I did not like the way the waitress was handling this. I got my order and we went back to the Lord Nelson Hotel. Low and behold after all of that, there was no meat in the sauce. Mind you the food was good! But that is not the point. She was a snotty waitress that didn't even know what she was talking about. I come every year to Halifax and I am unsure about going to Gatsby's again.Written November 15, 2008This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Doc D130 contributionsEntertaining some out of town folks ended up with us at the Dome Nightclub.
My first impression of the place was that of their security. the "tough guy" look does nothing to keep people in line. It made for an uncomfortable atmosphere from the get go.
Inside the place has cleaned up since the last time I was around. Service was ok as well and that's an improvement.
I won't be back. I expect to feel safe when I'm out and the security here do the exact opposite.Written April 24, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
