5686 Spring Garden Rd, Halifax, NS B3J 1H5, Canada
Family-run landmark since 1989 with pub grub & local craft beers, plus live blues & outdoor seating.
I regularly go in for food with my partner. The food is always great and the service is good. But the experience I received today was above and beyond anything I could expect. Brody had us seated immediately and took our orders right away, the food came out fast and fresh. Brody brought me a refill on my drink before I could even ask for it! He was attentive to our needs but not invasive, came at the perfect times (when our mouths weren't full of food)! Absolutely the best service I have received in any dining establishment! I would much rather dine here for the service ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! Once again thank you for the immensely positive dining experience. Can't wait to be back!
Loved the atmosphere and service. The beer was nice. But the fish was probably one of the worst I ever had. Very overcooked and extremely bland. The fries were really good though!
Excellent cheese burger! After a week of seafood, it was nice to have a burger. The place can be easy to miss because it's upstairs; keep an eye out for the sign. They had an impressive collection of beer on draft. The lighted picture of the Halifax ski line, in the men's room, was really neat.
Amazing service all around. A MUST visit to get the full experience of local food & great atmosphere.
The rooftop patio is awesome, and we got a table overlooking Spring Garden Road. Apparently Sundays aren't busy there, which is surprising. Service was great and food was served hot. Caesar could have used some more Worcestershire, but it didn't stop me from devouring it.
Surprisingly great food with good vibe! The price is very reasonable and their chicken wings are amazing. Their lobster roll is simple but good and the drink menu didn’t disappoint.
This was a short lunch visit based on my wife's last business lunch there but glad we stopped here. The food was great. We had the chicken sandwiches with fries. We were also on the rooftop so I can't speak to the lower floor. The service was excellent and the server was attentive. Will visit again before the summer ends.
Visit: June 2024 Had the lobster roll with broccoli soup. The lobster rollcwss my first here in Halifax, but it was quite basic and didn't offer a ton of flavour I felt. The atmosphere is great, and the theming was really consistent throughout
Food is always unreal and reasonable prices. Servers are great although it appears they have a mouse problem. Nice kept running up underneath the bench seats.
Went for their famous chicken wings. And it was amazing If u are not familiar with the city, u will have hard time with parking space Food
Great restaurant, I was able to change one of their dishes to be vegan.
Wont deliver unless you use a stupid app pretty useless
Icy icy cold beers. Great servings of food. Portions are great size for the prices. Service by the staff is outstanding. Everyone makes a point to say hello as they pass by. Super friendly will for sure be back here. Thanks for a great experience.
Always a good decision
I ve dined here a few times now and each time the service and food have been great. I always have a nice conversation with the servers and the food comes out hot and in reasonable time. I definitely recommend coming here if you re downtown and need a quick bite to eat!
Youll never forget wing night at Your Fathers Moustache! It was way beyond my expectations. Don t miss out on those wings! Food
We were delighted to find the perfect lunch in Halifax. Its located upstairs and is not obvious to find, but is really worth the effort. The lunch special of lobster stew and house club sandwich couldnt be beat. The beer selection was good and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual. The service was efficient, warm and friendly (thanks Buck!). Well definitely be back when in Halifax.
My girlfriend and I were hungry and walked by this restaurant so we stopped in, it was a great decision! I got the Thai chicken sandwich and it was the best sandwich I ve ever eaten, she got the Mac and cheese and she says it was the best Mac and cheese she s ever eaten! I totally recommend checking this place out!
They have big serving for cocktails. This is a good place to banter with friends and have some drinks. They got good desserts too. Love the vibe!We had fun and sorry if my friends and I are laughing all over the place at the top of our lungs!
Patio is great, dont mind popping in for a beer and a bite when the weather is nice!
Delicious Food, Great Service, and Decent Prices!
Had an amazing experience with a group of international students. Ask them about the half price days Food
Wings Thursday offers incredible value for money with delicious chicken wings for just a $1. The service is excellent, making it an all-around fantastic experience.
This place was highly recommended for our visit to Halifax and we had a great time! Very good food and drinks
This is the worst burger I ve ever seen. It s not even worth a dollar. I don t recommend trying it. It was a bad experience.
The roof top was a nice find
Your Fathers Moustache offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere with a rooftop patio thats perfect for enjoying a sunny day. The menu features a great selection of pub-style dishes, but the burgers are the real stars and an absolute must-order they re simply amazing. The service is friendly and attentive, making it a great spot for a casual meal or drinks with friends. Whether youre there for the food, the craft beers, or just the ambiance, this place consistently delivers a satisfying experience.
Showed up with some brothers from my ship, the atmosphere was pretty good, the food was awesome, i absolutely enjoyed my colossal lobster roll, only complaint about the service was how long it took to get a moscow mule and one of my brothers didnt get the lemonade he ordered.
Excellent ribs and fries! Quick service! Interesting place.
Best burgers I tasted in Halifax so far. Prices are a bit higher than average, but hey, just try tasting their Moustache burger.... its amazing. You will love it!
Beautiful vibe, properly cooked, generous food. I tried the grilled haddock with steamed veggies. Loved every bite. You have a variety of food options for all tastes including kids. Rody at the bar (first floor) is very friendly, cool and genuinely welcoming. The sports / group vibe makes it a fun experience for a night out. Not my first time and won t be the last.
Very good PUB in downtown, Thursday it offers wings for half price.
Really good food and the service was fast and friendly. I think the owner might have been the person seeing to us and he couldnt have been nicer!
This place was great. Server 12 BROWNIE was amazing and super friendly and easy going. Food was great and not too expensive. Wonderful little spot would definitely recommend for a less expensive yet nice lunch or dinner in Halifax.
Delicious soup of the day broccoli and cheddar and good street view. Highly recommend
Loved literally everything about this place, starting with naming and logo (and history) and finishing with people and their approach. Food was solid good. Choice of beers is not too large but quite enough. Service was way and beyond, 12/10, amazing people are working here!
First stop on our girls trip to Halifax and was definitely one of the top restaurants we visited. Drinks were fantastic - pina coladas were some of the best we ve ever had. All of our food was fantastic and quick service. Rooftop patio was hot but to be expected as a larger group harder to get a table under an umbrella. We ordered Nachos, pub clubs (bread was amazing!), and spicy Thai chicken sandwich which were all fantastic Only complaint would be the artichokes in the spin artichoke dip were quite large and would have preferred if they were chopped it up more.
First time visiting this restaurant I ordered the New Orleans pasta Blackened chicken and ham I was extremely disappointed, the dish had cubes of ham but only few cubes of chicken, didn t taste blackened The service was good though
Food was great and we always love the atmosphere. Its always clean, the lighting is nice, and they never play the music too loud so its a great place to talk over some drinks. Staff are all usually wonderful but didnt check in very often, I think because they were understaffed tonight and it was surprisingly busy for a sunday night.
Great service and foof
Great food and server was very apologetic for the delay in getting our meal.
Went on Friday night with a large group. Made reservations in advance. Took over 2 hours for our food to come. Server forgot to put in my wifes order so she didnt get to eat after the 2 hour wait. No discount offered. Went to McDonalds across the street and got better service and better food quality. Not worth half the cost.
Food was ok. A lot of choices. More bar food. Well done but not woow. Good service & ambiance. Food
Fish was Devine bartender was a joy.
I was a regular here but the quality of my order went down each time I visited. The salsa or sour cream listed in the description was left out of my nachos order multiple times. The last time I ordered they forgot both and the nachos were quite dry and plain without them. Not worth the $24 dollars at all!
We discovered this place by accident. we had a great time.
Great service and food was awesome! Ribs were fall off the bone!
One of our usual favorite places to go, always enjoy the food, service and atmosphere. Offers great gluten-free selection. Dietary restrictions: gluten-free
Chowder was very good. Not sure ita the nest in town, but definitely in the top 10. Vert few potatoes, so definitely worth the price for the quality.
Absolutely fabulous food and service
Interesting bar but nothing great
Best breaded wings in eastern Canada.. hands down!!
Was great all around, the menu was large, service was just the right amount, I would recommend to a friend. I would retake rhe pictures of the food (especially the onion rings) for the menu as the real food was much more appetizing than the pictures depicted it to be. Vegetarian options: The guacamole was new to their menu and nice!
The food, service, and atmosphere of this restaurant are awesome. A Halifax classic, and a must see for some good pub grub, great pints and super friendly service. 10/10!
Went for wings night during the heat wave. The service and food was good and the prices were good. But, this place has like just few fans that barely spin and was extremely hot. I believe restaurants should have good heater or Ac to provide a comfortable environment for its customers based in the weather.
The food here is so good! I have never waited longer than 5-10 minutes for my order to come out and staff are very friendly
Food was fantastic, service was phenomenal. Kenzie was fantastic Food
This was our first stop upon arriving in Halifax and it may have been the best. We had lunch here on the rooftop patio and the moustache burger stole the show. Great atmosphere on the patio and Finn was a great bartender that gave us some recommendations for later on. Highly recommend.
Great ambiance, great music, with the option of outdoors and indoors. Best Pina Colada I have had in Hlifax! The servers were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and had a beautiful presentation!
One of our favorite bars in town for me and my friends
Great place to dine. Excellent service. Very cool pictures and atmosphere inside.
Finally got pasta that I was craving since the first of the week when I got to Halifax. Loved the waitress an food was delicious
Well, that was disappointing! While my partner enjoyed his Moustache burger, my fish and chips fell waaaay short. The fish was frozen, not fresh. It wasnt seasoned, and it measured 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches. It was as thick as a slice of bread. The server was pleasant, but the service was non-existent. Quite a wait for food, too. For those prices, I considered the tip to be included; the reason I didnt leave one (and because service lacked).
great food what more can you say?
I came here a few months ago for dinner. Ordered a burger, I think it came with onion rings on it, anyways when I get my food the order is wrong. The server brought me a regular hamburger, which was fine, I didn t complain, I was hungry so I just ate the plain burger. After my meal I asked the server if I could be charged for the burger I was served (since it was less expensive than the one I had originally ordered). She apologized and said she would get the manager to adjust the bill. At this point I wasn t upset, I was fed and happy, just wanting to pay for the meal I received. Everything was fine until this manager came to my table. She started speaking to me in an aggressive tone, saying I should have let them know sooner , as if this is my fault? Maybe she was having a bad day, but this was one of the worst experiences I ve had with restaurant management in this city.
Food was good with a decent selection of drinks. Atmosphere was great and service was also very good. The rooftop bar is highly recommended if the weather is nice.
Service is good, the main problem is the mices running around.
Great place to eat. I always enjoy it here. Had the Lobster roll this time. Was definitely a good one. Awesome burgers here too!
A great spot on Spring garden, the rooftop patio is quite nice and any burger with the fries served anyway here are great! I will say the fries portion is small, but thats relative per person! Definitely one of my favorite spots to start a night out with friends in city! Reasonable prices as well!
Cant wait to come back for the live music!!
Great choice.. Food was the best and they were easily willing to make adjustments in the preparation of a dish. Service was attentive and accommodating. Go here! Dietary restrictions: See previous comments.
Terrible service.
Good pub food, service and ambiance.
Great food
Love their Thursday chicken wings in half price! Its the best fried chicken in Halifax except Korean ones.
It s a awesome place for food specially the wings
Always great for wings, pub fare and tap selection.
Good food and friendly staff, will definitely be returning.
I went to this restaurant for a Deaf event. One of the servers new sign language and was able to serve the deaf people adequately and charismatically. As a gluten-free person, I had a delicious haddock taco and didnt feel the gluten-free options were any less delicious than the regular options! Prices are high, but fair for the overall experience. Will definitely be returning. Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: There were sufficient gluten-free options.
Great spot for lunch.
Have never had a bad meal or bad service. My 9 year old loves The Moustache. Pub Club is the best thing on the menu, but even the fries are great. Kid-friendliness: My son always feels welcomed by the servers and loves the chicken strips.
Great Food & Great Service
Pretty empty on a weekend. Food is pretty good, beer list is a bit on the boring side.
Loved it
Being good for years, and now it becomes one of the few places that be affordable to me
Good
This was a surprise and a very good place to eat. It had one of the best services that we had in Halifax and the food was very good and came very fast.
Variety of food options, great friendly and fast service.
If ever there were a restaurant thats worth making a trip for, YFM is it! Delicious hot food, fantastic service and very friendly staff. There is also a great bar!
Really awesome spot. Me and my friend found it during their Friday trivia night and it was a great time. Food was fast and good! Staff was very friendly and drinks were very nice
Full rack of ribs excellent need I say more
Havent been here in over a decade at least but its still just as good as ever.
Good solid pub experience. Great place to meet friends.
Lovely place. Very good atmosphere. Very friendly staff.
Too crowded.
Just too crowded during the weekend, but I love to go here on Thursday for chick wings. They re awesome!
good local beer selection and tasty food.
If you want good pub food, look no further than YFM. I highly recommend their club sandwich! Just ask for extra napkins. I think they use the same fries as Costco which is nice because theyre pretty spectacular when youre in the mood for fried food. Bumped down two stars because the prices skyrocketed and the food quality has plummeted. Dont order the warm Caesar salad! It has bell peppers and melted cheese! :(
The location is amazing in the heart of spring Garden road. Parking is an issue as parking. spots are limited. Layout and decorations, the place is spacious, can fit large groups. Lots of seats and tables. The place is cozy and has some seats close to the window, which is excellent. The restaurant is on the second floor, and I did not notice that there is an elevator. Cleanliness within expectations Time to be seated, my experience on Saturday was ok. We did not have to wait. Service, the service is excellent , employees are well knowledgeable of the ingredients. Professional dealing with customers. Time to get the order was within expectations Food, rich delicious and well done. Prices are $$ reasonable and affordable Conclusion: it is a nice place to have dinner, I will visit them again
Food was great, staff was very friendly and prices were reasonable! Love it there!
Great outdoor patio experience. Tops in the city
Sunday rooftop patio, fabulous weather and great recommendations and service from Riley. Thank you
Mixed review on fathers moustache. The food is average but the service & atmosphere is good.
Fun pictures of mustaches. Fish & chips were good.
Nice patio, beer and cocktail. Perfect to enjoy the sun. Cool vibe
Decided to stop in to grab some supper during a day out on a nice hot day. Our server was absolutely fantastic, Food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. Only reason I gave a 4 on atmosphere is we were on the rooftop patio and found that there wasnt enough umbrellas and the sun was directly in my face the entire time. But that is a very minor thing and really didnt take away much from a fantastic experience
Great pub in downtown Halifax. Food is decient and the beer is cold, cant ask for more.
Great lunch specials great value and tasty
Basic sports pub.......not much doing here.....
Very good food, nice atmosphere.
Food was alright. Service was decent and not too remarkable. The seafood chowder was pretty good.
Good fish and chips. Great beer. Loved the atmosphere and they played all the alternative music that I love.
Great food and service. Very welcoming and great view of Halifax. I would highly recommend it. Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible from wheelchairs. Many stairs.
Amazing service, awesome food very happy family!
Their food is pretty decent
Went for lunch with a friend, had the special, it was ok, not bad, not special, considering the vast completion within 1sq mile.. A big downer as visitors was no internet, just could not log on, staff told us it was due to the amount of people which was strange as the outside was closed and only about 25 inside... So having not been there for a few years, yes we had a decent lunch, cider was cold, but to be honest the place felt tired, there are many other venues we will try next.
I really enjoy Your Fathers Moustache. The atmosphere is laid back, its clean, the food is always delicious and the service is awesome.
Great spot for lunch and a Trail Duster. Staff was super friendly and service was quick. Would highly recommend
Good food, good beer, great service
Great Atmosphere with good food and drinks.
I had a fantastic time at Your Fathers Mustache! The Cajun haddock was absolutely phenomenal, bursting with flavor. The highlight of our visit was definitely our bartender, Duncan, who was amazing and made sure we had a great time. The impressive selection of 27 beers on tap added to the experience, catering to all tastes. Highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food, excellent service, and diverse beer choices.
Been going to the Moustache nearly 30 years and the food ,service and vibe is the same as it was in 1996 when I first went.
Simple bar!
Visiting Halifax from Montreal for the weekend, but i grew up in Nova Scotia and have been here years ago! I knew it had a cool rooftop patio, and suggested to my friends who were with me that were visiting from Toronto that we go here on a sunny Saturday. The food exceeded my expectations & we loved what we ate. I had the Moustache burger and it was fantastic. Our favorite part though we re the potachos. highly recommend!
Great food and good service. Our server was very attentive. Steak was cooked to preference. Little pricy but better quality than other places.
Can be a busy spot, go early or get a reservation.
Great place for food and beer!
This was a really nice pub. Great atmosphere, good beer selection and a solid pub menu. The only oddball item on the menu was the lobster mac. It really had no business being there and at $32, it was an overpriced disappointment. A couple of small pieces of lobster and some really basic mac was nowhere near the price point value. The wings and burgers are the heartbeat of the place.
The fish sandwich and soup lunch combo was amazing , it got busy when the cruise ship arrived but the staff kept the great service up
Great rooftop patio. Pretty dissapointed in the lobster Benedict, regular non- English muffin bun, and really non-delicious hollandaise sauce (lobster part was delicious of course)
Sat on the upstairs patio. First noticed mice crawling all over the deck . Saw at least four. The food was good. Service was fine up until the bill, waited 45 minutes to get the bill which was an insidious rate time for just an appetizer.
I visited for the first time today and it was nice because the wings werent too salty.
Thursday wing night... There are a lot of people~~ It s not expensive. The atmosphere is quite exciting A must-visit place when you go to Halifax!
Always come for the pub club. I used to live in the city but I miss this sandwich so bad that I make sure I eat one anytime Im home. The food is great to take-home and eat later too!
One of the best burgers Ive had in a while. Nice to go to a place that will actually cook their burgers medium instead of well done.
We went there three times while we were visiting Halifax . It was a huge hit with the whole family .I would definitely go back and highly recommend it .
The ribs are very good but the waitress was rude. I went for my second time and the staff was like angry, the first time was completely different (the waitress was nice )
I discovered this place a year ago and I keep coming back. It s always busy and the atmosphere is very lively. The staff are friendly and helpful and have a good knowledge of the dishes on the menu. You re usually served very quickly. The food is tasty and I recommend the chicken wings.
Dietary restrictions: Excellent gluten-free burger and pasta options Food
Great food and location
Food was great, it did not take long for the food either. Only issue was how small the space was. Even for some of my smaller thinner family members they noticedn8tnwas tight.l fit between the booth and tables.
Came with a friend because of the name of the place. Found it soo hilarious and loved it even more when served with such good food and great service. Definitely visiting again!
Great staff, good food, great atmosphere.
We have been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years. Always great food and service! Brownie is probably one of the best waiters in Halifax!
The wings are great. Thursday nights have specials
Nice place had a great lunch
Great service and food ! Try the breakfast skillet its delicious!
Yummy Indian taste chicken wings dry rub... Every Thursday offer on this.. everyone must taste this.. Food
great place
As an out of towner, I could not recommended this place more! Fantastic beer, food, and the staff were excellent and very friendly! Our server Buck was an awesome guy! Food
