The OverDraught Pub


Food, Beer, Friends.


This is what makes for a great night.


I had some friends in town for the night before they flew out to a warm destination that i was jealous about. So we took a page out of the old Halifax book as these were friends from Dalhousie. Irish pub it is.


We took a trip down to front street and settled in for some food beer and maybe even music. As it happens the band of 2 guys with guitars were just finishing up their last set which was king of early at about 8:10.


Not a ton of people in there for a Thursday night but there were some after work crown still in there as well as a couple of couples (pun very much intended). Solid beers on tap and a decent selection.


Now to the food. I started with some Tomato Bruschetta which was actually some of the best I have had in the city. There was lots of cheese and it was on long flat boards which makes it easy to share.


This was followed up with fish and chips. Not the fries were pretty good but were fairly standard. The fish was decent fish but the shape made it look like it was taken out of a Hyliner box. It was kind of like a loaf of banana bread and not like normal pieces of fish. However, the actual fish was pretty good.


Decent waitresses and good atmosphere for talking as there was almost no if any music.


I would go back for some beers and I would for sure get the App again but I think i would go for something other than the fish. I heard the pulled pork at the table was good.
