The Gahan House - Halifax

Halifax

About the restaurant

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 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 had lunch with two girlfriends. It was my first time at Au Liban. The restaurant is beautiful. We shared some mezze and a salad. The food was very good quality, fresh and delicious. I will be back.

This nice little gem was our first time. The food menu has a bit of everything, the portion was really good, the service was really good. I would like to suggest to take a closer glance at the layout and ambiance. Upon our arrival the light were really bright and with the wood tables and metal chairs does not reflect what the restaurant wants to achieve. The potential is there and with prime location I think they are missing a great opportunity!
