Finbar’s Irish Pub - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

We are extremely fortunate to have our new favorite restaurant in HRM within' walking distance of our new home. The service is the best I've experienced anywhere. It was excellent from day 1, however most of the wait staff seem to now know us and treat us like we've been ... going there for decades, even though we've probably only been 10 or 15 times. I believe you could start an after hours side business of having your core wait staff train staff from other restaurants, they're just that good. The food is excellent. We started with a couple of meals we would come back for over and over, but I'm now working my way thru the menu and everything is so good I'm going to have a harder time deciding what I want!!

Good food and excellent service. Parking lot was full so it took a little searching to find spot.l. was impressed with the service, from the greeting upon entering to the service at the table and even continued as I exited. I had the "lunch fish & chips," there was more ... batter than what I would perfer. Read more

Was one the best experience that I have had here. Very friendly servers along with short service. If you want happy moments I do recommend this place. 👌

A place so grand that even the patio has great atmosphere 👌 🙌 👏 The servers were friendly and attentive. They were very knowledgeable about the menu and explained tonus all about Boxtys (potato crepes with different toppings folded inside. Usually savory) I had the small cup of Seafood Chowder and was ... pleasantly surprised my just how hearty and full of seafood this Chowder is! I then had the Pan seared Haddock meal and it was cooked to perfection 🥰 Even the taproot vegetables were cooked perfectly! Finally our group got the Toffee Pudding which is the perfect size for sharing at the end. Leave yourself some time to digest before you get up from your food coma! LMAO 😜 The patio is the perfect place to do this as it is screened-in so no bugs and has many heaters inside in the case that it gets a nit chilly in the evening. I am quite pleased that we were introduced to this restaurant by a local. It certainly lived up to the billing. You will be enraptured by flavours, portions and friendliness here. Read more

Love the setting, and the food is great! Good place to meet up with friends. The service was good, just a tad too serious maybe (4.5/5). I enjoyed my steak sandwich!
