With a total of six locations across Atlantic Canada, Gahan House has become an East Coast staple dedicated to creating memorable experiences. We get our name from John Gahan, a prominent merchant and importer of wines, teas, and groceries on Prince Edward Island in the 19th century. His former place of residence is now the location of the original Gahan House in Charlottetown, P.E. To share our award-winning ales with more of Atlantic Canada, we opened our doors and our taps in Halifax, N.S., Fredericton, Saint John, and Moncton, N.B., and St. John’s, N.L.

We began as a brewpub, and we stay true to our beginnings by having a brew system in-house, ensuring that the beer we serve is as fresh as possible. With a delicious menu, handcrafted ales, and fresh East Coast oysters in our welcoming Gahan atmosphere, we hope you feel right at home.

    The pan fried haddock wasn’t fresh, it smelled fishy. Our server forgot about us, we waited when we were done for ages and another server had to go get her. It wasn’t busy at the time. We were not offered refills. I hate to leave a poor review, as I was a server many years ago, but considering how there was hardly anyone there the service was not great.

    The place was beautifully decorated for Christmas, not overdone. I had asked for a lovely spot as it was our Christmas dinner, and It was the loveliest spot in the place! The waitress was professional and very polite. We did not feel rushed and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Thank you! Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays!!

    I've always loved Gahan House regardless of the location. Most recently, I was there last night. Food was fantastic and our service was on point. The server we had couldn't have been more lovely; so friendly and kind. I would highly recommend. The only concern were the floors. If you don't have grips on your shoes, you could easily wipe out, if you're not careful.

    The higher walls around the booths allow for more privacy and block out some of the noise. The food in service are always great.

    Service was spotty. Food was blah. Decor and ambience was good. Live music playing at dinner time at an appropriate volume was a plus feature.

    The food was excellent as was the service. However, it took quite a bit of time before our food arrived. We were not in a great hurry so it wasn't an issue but I was starting to get a bit nervous about how much longer it would take.
