Jacob's is an absolute local favorite. The family that runs the show is so lovely and makes you feel like you're part of it. Known for their wing night but their in-house pasta and pizza are top shelf. They also make a mean cocktail and have tons of local tap options. Great ambience and whoever's running the aux cord every time I'm in there has great taste in music, too. Don't miss this spot!!
Jacob's lounge is a great place to go if you want something that feels like you've always been here. The drinks are standard but the food is better than you think it will be. Nope, better than that. The service is excellent and the prices are reasonable. It's a great place to be your home town watering hole.
This place has great food, don't get me wrong, BUT I every time I have ordered delivery from here they have missed one item! Forgive and forget, give them another chance, yeah yeah. But it's been three times in a row (just these guys!) and now Uber won't even refund me for a missing entree! The restaurant is not even answering their phone! I'm all for second (and third) chances, but this isn't right at 25$ an entree. Brutally bad accuracy and service!
Usually only get wings here, and they are very good...but, the last 3 or 4 times I have ordered, the size of alot of the wings have been quite pathetic. Making me think twice about ordering again considering the price.
Well they've cleaned it up quite a bit since I was there last. The VLT's are gone, thank god. Food has improved. Service was solid. It's kind of a bar that also happens to serve food. Or it's a food place where you can go and get hammered. Not sure the correct order of events to suggest.
Grab some wings at Jakob‘s lounge. These are amazing, nice and crispy seasoned well and a good size. I had the sweet mustard, blue cheese and hot, extreme dipping sauce boy these were very enjoyable check out my TikTok. I did a wing challenge five locations these are rated my favourite shaneandersonhfx
Run don't walk! This place is serving up some delicious pizza, wings, and sammies. Highly recommend asking for the wing sauce on the side so you can savour the flavour of the dry rub. Sidenote, it is a bit loud because they are blasting some classics but I truly loved the vibe and we'll be back for sure! Oh and the service is truly top-shelf.
A group of us visited for supper ahead of a concert. The service was excellent as was the food. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Prices are super reasonable and the food was wonderful.
Food was great! Service and atmosphere were very good. Definitely worth a return trip.
Great food. Decent prices.
I love the food here i literally don t have an appetite for anything else
Great pizza.. awesome staff.
Best pizza in HRM. No question. Consistent. Really nice dough, sauce and cheese. Thats unfortunately hard to find these days.
Always great food and great service at good prices
Pretty decent place with a bit of energy. Quite reasonable selection of beers, with four of them from Propeller.
Nice Pisner and the crispy chicken burger with Greek salad was delicious.
Always have excellent service.
Amazing place, great food, wings out of this world.....
Me and my boyfriend have been coming here for 2 years and absolutely love and adore this place!!!! The food is AMAZING and the staff give the best service I ve ever received.Paige and the ladies will go above and beyond for their customers and the owner always says hi and makes you feel like family. If I could give a million stars I would
What a great spot!!! Had the Meatball sandwich, and it was incredible!!! The wedges were a hit too!!! Cant wait to come back, try something else!!
All meals we ordered were not great Service was good Food : 2/5
Pizza and wings were unbelievable. Would highly recommend. Service was great too.
Wasn t sure about gluten free options but they had a GF pizza crust that was actually really good! 7.5/10 pizza, dough wasn t completely cardboard and cheese had a great pull to it. Only downside was the kitchen was a bit slow pushing out food however it was very busy so I won t hold it against them. Good service, good atmosphere and really good Gf pizza!
Some of the best food in Halifax/Dartmouth. Pizza is excellent.
The food is very fresh and good and the chicken wings are to die for
The staph and atmosphere was great but the wings were horrible
Great meal with nice music and friendly service.
Super duper delicious pizza, probably my favourite in HRM. This is a hidden gem in Dartmouth with a lovely atmosphere as well. We will return to dine in soon.
Ive always been searching for the hot wing of my dreams. One that is sincerely spicy, that isnt just out to hurt you, but actually deliver on flavor as well as heat. I found it here at Jacobs. The fire sauce is the best hot sauce Ive ever had on a chicken wing. Went back for my 3rd consecutive wing night tonight and intend to back again next Thursday. Gar parm, Hot & Sweet and Honey Garlic have also been fantastic. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options and the vegetarians who joined the wing night found something on the menu and seemed to enjoy their meal.
Good food, friendly family business and a Dartmouth staple.
Dietary restrictions: They do have GF pizza and other options (no GF menu) and the servers were fantastic about everything and very knowledgeable Food
Best wings I ve ever had in my life!
Amazing food! Amazing service, amazing drinks, everything was absolutely delicious.
We went to Jacob s for the first time last night and it was amazing! When we got there it was busy and we had to wait but not long and I would have waited longer it was so good! The garlic parm chicken wings OMG . We also had the chicken shawarma burger and a pizza also very delicious. We will be back!
Its always a bumping spot. Waits can be long and staff are so busy you could be unseen. Once youre seen though they are great! It can get pretty crowded in there, and the tables get close to one another. If they had more staff on board, the service would be quicker, but like I said, the staff they have now are great. Ive Always gone for Wing Night, and are lightly breaded wings where you can get the sauce on the side. They are good and massive. Overall I recommend if you got lots of time. Parking: Street parking on Portland St can be pretty crazy. Wheelchair accessibility: Flat to the sidewalk entrance and a bathroom on the main floor.
Wonderful service! Food is fantastic!!!
I was hesitant to write a review because I honestly think Jacobs Lounge is one of HRMs best kept secrets. The food is truly magnificent and theyre the place to go for a stellar wing night experience, but thats not even the top of their resume! The folks behind the name are some of the most wonderful individuals around. We ordered takeout the other night and I forgot to mention an allergy. I called back and without any hesitation they remade my girlfriends dish with all precautions taken. They could have easily said Thats too bad, but these folks went above and beyond to rectify a mistake I made. Thats why I really needed to leave a review. I wish every restaurant could be held to the Jacobs Lounge standard! Dietary restrictions: So long as you mention it, they will accommodate!
My husband and I decided to visit on December 28 to break away from our regular spots to grab a quick bite to eat while in Dartmouth. I wish we could say our experience was enjoyable, we spent more time making sure mice were not crawling on our shoes and up our legs. We noticed some mice and alerted the staff, to which they shrugged it off. Our food was on our table by then, we were trying our best to ignore the pests at our feet. By the time we were finished I was personally filled with anxiety scared to keep my feet/legs still. We informed the waiter as he brought us a box to take our food home, he again shrugged it off and said it happens.I can assure you that weve eaten at a number of restaurants in NS and this is our first experience with rodents climbing on us or even seeing them while seated at our table. We go to restaurants twice a week at minimum. I wish I could say we had a great experience, we were hoping we could add another place to our list of options, unfortunately the response from the staff truly made the experience worse. No sorry, no offer to even comp one of our drinks, nothing but oh well, it happens. We understand that rodents are hard to keep at bay, we dont understand the disregard for our experience by your waiter. Dreadful service in that regard.
Always great food. Great staff. A great place to take the family. Pizza and wings are excellent.
Made for an awesome birthday experience! Despite being absolutely packed and a bit short on hands, the staff were attentive, polite and went above and beyond, even making me a special cocktail. The food was fabulous, especially the potato skins. Thanks for a fun and delicious evening out, will definitely be back. :)
Great place. The service and food always on point. Now its getting really busy but we are willing to waiting to get a table. The guy is the overalls is so nice and friendly. Their pizza is just wow. Food : 5/5
Should update your times, and not tell people on the phone youll be open and then refuse people to come in the door.
Amazing food, friendly staff and great vibe. Can t believe we just found this place!
We had a great time at Jacobs. The food was amazing, and the servers were so friendly! We will be back regularly.
great wings
Clean and welcoming atmosphere, very fast and attentive service. Beer was ice cold and affordable, wings are my favourite in the city, and the pizza is something special. Do yourself a favour and try Jacobs, you wont be disappointed.
Delicious food, fantastic service.
Great place for a cold beer and pub food.
One and a half hour wait for food
The best wings, and the service has been amazing every time we go.
Had the wings with hot , sweet mustard and blue cheese dipping sauces. Best ive had! So good!
Very delicious pizza and wings. Will definitely return had amazing service from our waitress.
Excellent meal, the wings with the fire sauce and blue cheese on the side was phenomenal. The pizza was some of the best pizza Ive ever had, will definitely be back soon!!
Drinks were good would have ordered food except for the crazy intense bar server was really stressing us out. He didn t need to be that intense. Other servers were rolling eyes at his barking. No fun.
Awesome place to eat Awesome service. Parking: Park on the street Kid-friendliness: They are very friendly and take care of u
Good food and chill environment. Cool staff.
Came here for wing night the other day. first, the wings were amazing the chicken basically melts off the bone. definitely the best wings i ve had in all of halifax and dartmouth. I really liked the music and the ambiance of the place, the seating is comfortable and tables are well spaced out. Our server brian (maybe bryan?) was amazing he was funny and attentive but never like over fixated on us. Definitely will be coming back.
Great wings and pie s. Be sure to try the dry rub. Awesome staff too!
A beautiful Saturday evening on the deck. These drinks were very refreshing with killer wings! Delicious!
Definitely the best wings in the city! Perfectly cooked, seasoned and always hot.
I have been coming to this wonderful establishment for over 15 years. Mike and Bassima the owners are 2 of the kindest, charismatic, hardworking and community oriented people Ive met. Ive never had a bad meal or a bad night out here. They are a hub of Dartmouth and their restaurant has grown like a fine wine only getting better as the years go by. The food is phenomenal. I dont know what they do to their wings to get them so perfect but I think about them all the time. And the pizza.... oh the pizza! Its crispy and chewy in all the right places. Jacobs used to be my local watering hole and now living outside the city I dont get to come as often. But every time Im in Dartmouth I make a special trip in. Thanks guys for your decades of service, amazing eats and smiles in Dartmouth!
Best pizza ever!!
Local
Great spot, wings and pizza is amazing!
Love this place, food, service and the owner is 5 star!
Best wings of all the places I have been yet. Service is exceptional. And though there may be a wait, especially on wing night. The wait is well worth it.
The food was great. I hadnt had the pizza there and I was very good. They wait staff were super friendly. Its got a different atmosphere than a lot of downtown places and I enjoy that.
Great food in Dartmouth. Best wings in town... Best owners ever... just a sweet atmosphere with great food.
From the food to our server Bryan to the atmosphere is was amazing . Would highly recommend the music was awesome as well . We had the pepperoni from 2 boys, the pizza prosciutto and provalone, wings and margarita pizza everything was awesome . Wish I could give more then 5 stars .
Great wings and pizza
Food and all might be great. But they dont use stickers or anything for protection of tampering by skip the dishes or anything
It was our first time trying Jacob s Lounge. We weren t informed until after receiving an entire menu that they only served wings and pizza after 4pm. It left us disappointed as we had already made our mind up. Though, the food was good. It was probably the worst service I had in quite some time. It was unfortunate to have my server roll her eyes and sigh when I asked for more ranch for the wings and after payment, there was no thank you; come again , nothing. Just a complete walk away. I felt if you weren t a regular than you weren t welcomed as the atmosphere was extremely loud and the waitresses seemed to linger around the tables they knew our waitress never asked if we were ok, or topped up our water. We will not be back and it s unfortunate as the food was good but service, atmospheres and feeling comfortable is huge to me when dining in at a restaurant.
Awesome staff, great food and atmosphere. Our new Cheers where everyone knows your name
Delicious food and amazing atmosphere..highly recommend
I am reasonably confident these are the best chicken wings in the country.
Service is always impeccable, pricing is great .. allows me a couple extra Schooners I have had everything on their menu at least once, and it is all fantastic. My favourites are their wings, pizza, and meatball sub Grew up in my my parents pizza shop, and I say Mike at Jacobs makes the best pizza around(meat lovers add Kalamata olives )
Awesome pub with good food menu and great service. Stops serving food at 11pm! Would definitely visit again.
Excellent service, $5.50 drinks everyday happy hour 4-6. Cant recommend this place enough. Honestly the best pizza I have had in HRM. HANDS DOWN! The wings have never been a disappointment. You must try the fire sauce if you like it spicy.
Fan of the wing night on Thursdays
After a poor experience at another local pub I felt compelled to express what great service and food I ve had at Jacob s. The meatball sub is unreal, the pepperoni pizza is one of those word of mouth things that actually lives up to the legend, and the wings are maybe the best in HRM. Their lights flicker a lot, but I won t take a star away for that. Although, consider an electrician fixing that, haha.
the bus
Best wings and pizza in the HRM.
great food, great prices and super friendly staff!
The food is pretty amazing here! The staff as well! Reasonably priced and large portions that are so delicious!!!!
Amazing pizza and wings! Margarita was great. If you find yourself in Dartmouth /Halifax, EAT HERE!
Good beer on tap and the best wings Ive found in the city.
Had a bartender named Riley, she was the absolute best!! Definitely going back!!
They have the best staff I have interacted with in the city. The food was very delicious as well. If I could give 10 stars I would. 11/10 recommend the pizza
Very good, great taste, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, its worth a visit. Free parking 2 hours back street further down.
My husband and I came to Jacob s Lounge late at night when nothing else in Halifax or Dartmouth was open/serving food. They seemed to be the only place open, so we crossed our fingers hoping for a good meal. Well, we were very pleased! Our lovely server was so friendly and sweet and gave us some recommendations for our trip; our food was AMAZING and portions were huge! We had the fire wings, Mediterranean pizza and prosciutto & provolone pizza. We don t drink much, but wanted to try some beers for a birthday celebration and our server kindly let us try a few. Highly recommend this small hidden gem to anyone!
Totally enjoyed it..
Staff, food, drink, location, ! All are perfect! Jacob s Lounge is always our 1st priority to go for eating and drinking. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to have a wonderful night!
Service is so slow
Easily some of the best food in the HRM
Always a good wing night . And everyone who works here is awesome, and Brian especially is a genuine and great server
The meals were delicious and the service was outstanding. We constantly try to support local businesses and Jacobs Lounge is a hidden gem.
The pizza is fantastic!
Amazing food great service. Really enjoy the meatball sub, nachos, potato boats. Girlfriend loves a healthy Cesar salad and this hit all the spots. wings nights super busy but really good and Fridays happy hour great deal.
Had a great meal with my family. Our host was awsome and the food was great. My boys said it was the best restaurant in the city
Had awesome meals, chicken parm and spaghetti with delicious marina sauce was lick the plate good!! The Smokey Cajun dry chicken wings were meaty, crispy and delicious! Best meal I have had in a restaurant in a long time! Pizzas looked awesome too. Very popular take out spot! Cant wait to go back!
First time on the East Coast and stumbled upon this jem. My daughter ordered the Chicken Alfredo and it was delicious and I had the garlic fingers, the donair sauce that came with it was unreal, the flavor was amazing. I found our server (who my daughter referred to as Jason Momoa) to be extremely friendly, prompt and courteous. He was quick to chat, explain the menu and made the visit very pleasant. This place is very welcoming, has a great atmosphere and the prices are very reasonable, will definitely return again this summer when I am back on the Coast.
Jacobs Lounge hosted my mothers 50th surprise party this weekend, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff, food, and atmosphere were 100/10. From my 20-year-old friends to my 80-year-old grandparents, they have all not yet stopped raving about Jacobs Lounge and the compliments are highly deserved. The owners, Bassima and Mike, make the restaurant feel like home, while the rest of the staff feel like old friends. I cannot wait to go back for their delicious pizza!
Do you sell chicken fingers? The good kind $8
The meals are great. I tried most of their items on the menu but today I tried their wings and oh man, I ate the whole basket. Delicious! My new favourite spot
Very pleased! Ordered from here for the first time Jan 30th after receiving some giftcards and the food was great! We ordered 2 pizzas the Prosciutto and Provolone and the Taco pizza we also ordered the Jacobs Party Basket. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing! Will definitely be ordering from here again.
Always cozy, always friendly, amazing food. Best lounge in Dartmouth.
Low key the best pizza in the city
Great food but aim to try their wings any other night of the week but wing night - Theyre usually super busy and finding seating can be a challenge. Pasta and pizza are unbeatable though.
Best wings in town, like the new renovations and the service was impeccable as always. Get the smoked dry rub wings with sauce on the side, absolutely amazing
Greatest food, beer, service, atmosphere and staff you could ever ask for.
Love the food and great service.
Always delicious . Best wings this side of Montreal.Had the fettuccine last time and it was delightful.
Great food
The pizza here is really good.
Poor service from the staffs.
Pizza was delicious. Chicken Alfredo was very good, as well as the meatball sub. Good friendly service.
you cant go wrong
One of our favorite places in Dartmouth. Their pizza is better than any of the pizza places around hands down.
I wasnt crazy about the wings but their pizza and garlic fingers is really good as was the caesar salad, very fresh
Awesome wings and great service as usual. Their new patio is sweet. Propane heaters take off the chill.
So sadly we visited on a night when they were short staffed, but my goodness our waitress worked hard to make up for it. I adore the atmosphere and aesthetic, very eclectic overall. The wings were very very good, but I wouldnt say Legendary easily 4/5. Taco. Pizza. Stop what youre doing and go have their taco pizza. It is everything a taco pizza should be and more. Fusion cuisine has peaked. Overall, I went here with work friends and I would happily go back. Prices were very reasonable considering the quality and the staff were great. Only real complaint is the upstairs washroom area is a sauna.
Excellent food, drinks and shisha but above all the staff always greet you with warmth and happiness I can t recommend this place enough.
Everything was made in house. The food was delicious! The company was even better, only good people. Great place for a date night or a family meal. Service was quick and personable, owner will probably be busy in the back doing the hard work. If you need a good night out this is the place!
Pizza was awesome and a great environment restaurant
good service and excellent food
Great spot. Nice menu.
Busy for a Wednesday. Good food, cheap drinks, friendly.
Great spot, fantastic wings and pizza. Location is conveniently situated in downtown Dartmouth, staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend Jacobs
Best bar in Dartmouth.
Service was rude, drinks were ok, definitely not a first choice
My go to place. Best wings and pizza in the city. Love the staff. They always make you feel welcome.
Very dissatisfied with my visit. I was hit by a car last year so I can not walk straight or fast. I consumed one maybe two beer before I was told I was to drunk and asked to leave
Great food, great service and very well priced. Another hidden gem in downtown Dartmouth.
Wings are crazy good and for a great price. Jacob makes one hell of a pizza
Smaller bar pub with regulars, nice bartender, tables and chairs, gaming devices and lightly dimmed space
Great wing nights and friendly service! Just recently had the pizza after years of dining at Jacobs and was blown away. It is a regular order item now.
Amazing food.
Greek pizza the best!!!friends family fun!!
Friendly staff and great food keep me coming back. The best pizza in HRM? Quite possibly! A gem of Dartmouth that brings the local community together, Jacobs is a fun place to grab a beer after work or join some friends for a wing night. Would highly recommend!
Great atmosphere and friendly staff, would highly recommend trying any of their pizzas!
Their Renos are gorgeous and the food is still as amazing as always
Met some fun people! Had a time. Girlfriend forgot her purse there and got it back the next day unharmed.
Just remodeled and friendly management.
Best pizza in Dartmouth, hands down. Cant believe it took me so long to try this place out! The wings are awesome too! I got take out, it was very fairly priced. Ill eat in next time. Cant wait to have it again. Really good toppings and fantastic crust.
Food is very good.
Best pizza in HRM, Wing night on Thursday. Perfect place to grab a pint and watch the game, and owner Mike obviously takes true care into the food and the atmosphere at this bar. Do yourself a favour and grab a pie here
The best wings in HRM!!!
Wings were a good size and tasted great, but criminally oversauced. Toss the wings in the sauce, dont toss the sauce into my basket. Recommend getting sauce on the side instead
Best food in the city. You have to try their steaks
Once again, take out - outstanding Pizza!! you guys are simply the best, Hope to visit soon!
Best pizza in Dartmouth!
Great little spot Amazing Pizza a lot of care and love goes into it
Best pizza and wings we have ever had. The pizza crust is fluffy, crisp and dusted with magic. OK, not magic but seriously it is exquisite. Amazing toppings that are not cheap deli meats and the right amount of homemade sauce with real Italian pizza mozzarella. The wings are not typical wing night wings but thick meaty, tasty morsels of chicken goodness that could be compared to grannys fried chicken, but better. Great music, wonderful service with an inviting atmosphere. We will be back, very soon.
Chicken wing place
Fabulous food. Couldnt finish it all!!
Warm welcoming friendly with good food!
Best pizza in the city.
The food here is honestly some of the best in Dartmouth. They most certainly have the best pizza in town (yes, better than Stone), but yesterday I was there for my birthday. I am a vegetarian and they didnt have a veggie pasta option on the menu. I spoke with the owner and he ordered me an incredibly delicious basil marinara that was some of the best pasta Ive had. Even their fries are better than anywhere else in Dartmouthor Halifax. Eat here. You wont be disappointed!!!
the best bar in Downtown Dartmouth
Best wings on earth
nice places
Always a great experience!!!
Great pizza
best chicken wings in town! takeout too!
Good fried chicken and large selection of beers!
Wings were good and the price isnt bad
No frills bar. Serves pizzas, wings and appies til late.
Wings were great
Amazing wings and great service!
it is an ok place
A very friendly NOVA SCOTIAN bar any one can be happy to go to.
I was pleasantly surprised. Everything I tried was bursting with flavor. The service was good for the most part but the waiter was a bit air-headed. The ambiance gives off an earthy feel-good vibe. After my meal, I was knocked into a food coma. 4 stars of satisfaction.
Cozy, friendly place to get hammered
The most unrated, hidden gem in downtown Dartmouth! Mike and his family / staff are amazing folk! The pizza and wings is a must try as well as thier awesome specials! Dont let this one slip through your fingers!!!!
I love going there for wings!
Great late night spot with lots of food and drink options
Great bar in Downtown Dartmouth. Amazing food and super friendly staff. The pizza and wings are highlights as well as daily specials. Don t sleep on Jacobs.
Mikie makes great pizza
The pizza and wings are the best this side of the Harbour! Get the Italian pizza and the dry rub wings with your favourite sauce on the side - you wont regret it.
Great great wings...next visit to try the pizza that I hear is also very good
Hands down the best pizza youve ever had...ever. Hand made with fresh high quality ingredientsWings are amazing too. Best in town so far.
