The Dock in New Glasgow

A very typical place. Very pleasant and a good atmosphere.

Had an excellent time stopping here during a road trip. Great food and great drinks, we were lucky to be there during their weekly live music, best atmosphere you can get in an Irish pub this side of the pond!

Best pub in New Glasgow. Great food and great staff

Legitimately one of the best meals Ive had in years. Blackened chicken penne was phenomenal, the soda bread was perfect. Service was fast and friendly. Genuinely fantastic.

Excellent seafood chowder! Great service, one of the best places around!

Authentic Irish pub with very friendly staff and good beer.

Good food but the table had all small portions for as costly as it was. Leave hungry.

We stopped on our way through (visiting from Vancouver) and enjoyed a wonderful beer and visit with the (owners we think ). They were so hospitable and gave us some suggestions for when we were in P.E.I. and all suggestions were 10/10! If you have a chance, go for a beer and a visit. If they make suggestions on places to visit you listen haha!

Fish and chips with Murphy draft

Dietary restrictions: Its possible to change the ingredients for the allergy Food

$100 for 2 people, no alcohol. we had bacon-wrapped scallops, they were good but had a sugary glaze. Ordered the blue-cheese burger and the server said, we cant afford blue cheese so youll get swiss. I ordered it without a bun and had hoped for fries but they were battered. There didnt appear to any side options so I ordered the Caesar salad without croutons, it was a about 4 small wilted leaves with bottled dressing. Very small hamburger patty. Dietary restrictions: Not recommended if you have dietary restrictions, even the french fries have breading. You could hardly call it a salad, it was a few leaves of wilted lettuce and the salad dressing is bottled so Im guessing has questionable ingredients.

Visiting from Ontario and stopped for a late lunch. Menu and food was very good, but the service was awesome - attentive, friendly, generous. Our server, didn t get her name, but she was the lovely Irish/Scottish lass (you know who you are!) was second to none for how she treated us. Although not busy at the time, I m sure this is the place to be in New Glasgow and I m pretty sure the service and atmosphere would be just as good. Will definitely try to make it back another time before leaving the province.

Great place great food, highly recommended

First time here food was good, good size portion, staff friendly and helpful. Sitting up on the patio over looking the river was nice. Id say the only downside is the parking, theres no parking in the lot you would think about parking at. That is for the other businesses in the area, you have to park in a lot down the road or pay for curbside parking. Its not the end of the world, just good to know before you go.

The pub is comfortably furnished and there is also a rooftop deck with water views. The food tasted really good, the portion could have been larger for my taste.

Best and only Irish pub in New Glasgow! Great food and service Food

SPECTACULAR! Rooftop patio, service extraordinaire, delish food! We started with the bacon wrapped scallops - divine. I had the steak & stuff sandwich w sweet potato fries and my husband had the reuban - both were melt in your mouth. Service was friendly and fast. Views amazing as well.

What a fun place! It is a historic site full of character and characters! The servers were moving!! Drinks were on the table within minutes of being ordered.

As close I have been to Ireland. Great little spot and service from Tracy. The fish was the best Carol had so far as the Nova Scotia haddock was tasty. My bangers and mashed were real good. We will be back

OMG the fish tacos

Its a beautiful family oriented Place good quality pop food, and fair prices

Very nice local restaurant. The decor is of an Irish pub. Food is above par and service is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.

Great atmosphere, but the staff often works short. Took us forever to get our meal. It was supposed to be split pea and ham but it was sausage soup. Paid 17.00 for a cup of soup. I asked what was happening,.... why they were run off their feet and was told they were short a cook, a dishwasher and a bartender. The staff that DID show up for work were surprisingly pleasant. Wouldnt recommend on a busy Friday evening.

We arrived with a party of seven and we were immediately seated, which was nice, because they dont take reservations. The food was good quality and the portion sizes were appropriate. I had the Steak and Stuff sandwich and a garden salad. The sandwich itself was fine, as was the salad, but the red wine peppercorn dipping sauce was so incredibly salty that it was completely inedible. I would have much preferred a more traditional horseradish and au jus option. No one else offered any complaints. Id eat here again if I were in town.

This is a great place to go for supper or a drink! If there is something that you like on the menu that isnt on all of the time (like creme Brulee), they will keep your number and call you when its available. Impeccable service!

We were in town for the Ship Hector bonspiel. We ate at the Dock twice and loved both meals. Had the pleasure of sharing a drink with the owners... super nice place and awesome people...hope to see you next year

Always enjoyed it here

A great little pub! Food was excellent and the service exemplary. Highly recommend!

Food is always great, especially fish and chips, and mussels. Best beer selection in town by far. Relaxed, comfortable seating and friendly staff.

Owner was right there upon entry with a warm greeting, burger was awesome, sweet potato fries were on point! Just like the service!

Best pub in New Glasgow. Food is fresh tastes home made and the ambience feels like it is straight out of Dublin. Kind staff that make you feel right at home. Love having a beer beside the fire in the winter.

A real pub . Authentic atmosphere. Friendly service. Great beer. Good food. Parking: Depending on the time of day can take time to find a place to park. Food : 5/5 |

A magical experience for our whole family. Carmel and team opened early for us to eat before our matriarch s funeral. The food was incredible but the service was one of a kind. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Great atmosphere, attentive sincere service. Happy to find this option in the heart of New Glasgow. Dietary restrictions: We asked for low fat meal options due to dietary restrictions. The waitress recommended an off menu option and didn t disappoint!

Amazing experience, excellent owners very friendly and polite. The atmosphere was top notch. It almost felt like we were in Old Montréal but with an East Coast twist. The Owner gently suggested the Eggs Benedict, by far the best hollandaise sauce I ve ever had. The homemade fries that came with it were perfect. My girlfriends Ruben was spot on, we are definitely going back soon!

While I dont drink, this is still a fantastic place to eat. Its small so keep that in mind as it can get rather crowded. The service is fantastic and you regularly see one of the owners working. The food is some of the best in the county. Definitely a place to eat out. Love having lunch here. Parking: Not a lot of parking for the location itself, but the nearby New Glasgow Square has plenty if you dont mind the brief walk.

First time in!- Our server was the absolute sweetest!!! Well be back! Parking: We had a hard time figuring out where to park- but it was worth it! Food : 5/5 |

Very authentic place.

Had a great meal here. Fish and chips very authentic, Thai mussels highly recommend. Staff was awesome as was the Irish pub. Like stepping back in time.

Honestly one of my fav places to grab a bite to eat and a cold beer. The bar is small but lots of seating. Staff are friendly and food is awesome. Have been several times and tried different food items and zero complaints.

Went for the Ceilidh - great time - last Sat. of the month.

What an awesome little pub that really has a true European atmosphere! The staff are wonderful and the beer was cold! They even had a great group of Celtic singers when we were there!

How to imagine an Irish pub in Canada. There was a large selection of beers and food. In addition to smaller snacks such as fried sausages, there are many delicious main courses with a variety of meat and vegetarian dishes. The fries received special praise from us; they werent greasy and were still nice and hot at the table. Parking: Only a few parking spaces far away

Gorgeous old building with lots of ambience and nice food. Close to the bridge, the river is a picturesque place to walk.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch on the way to Halifax from Cape Breton Island. The restaurant was not busy on this Tuesday around 1 pm. I ordered the chish and fips and he ordered the parmesan breaded haddock. He had a local rose cider that was delicious and the IPA I got was also very good. The fish and fries were delicious, although he couldnt detect the parmesan on his. The hostess that greeted us was a friendly Irish woman. Our waitress gave us a bit of a weird experience. Before we ordered our food, we told her we had some questions. She answered my question about the IPA and fish and chips, but as my husband was about to ask his question about the fish he was interested in, she just walked away and started doing something at the computer. She didnt come back so I got up and approached her nicely, saying we had more questions. She came back and answered everything we asked her very abruptly. When we ordered our food she asked if we wanted tartar sauce. I said yes and my husband said no. When she brought the food, I was served maybe a tablespoon of tartar sauce. I said I would need more please and she said yes, but she would have to charge me! I asked her if she could please give me the one that would have come with my husbands food. She hesitated, and said something about food prices being so high, but then she did bring it. It was so salty, I couldnt even eat it after all. I noticed I hadnt been served a piece of lemon, so I had to get her attention and asked for that. She brought me a skinny sliver of lemon. The irish hostess came by and upon request got me an actual lemon wedge. Overall, the food and drinks were delicious, but Tara, our server was abrupt and acted like we were an inconvenience to her. Our lunch with tax and tip was about $70.

Super buzzy pub in an otherwise quiet town. Parking is kinda wonky in a random lot by the lights. The food here is exceptional. Everything we had was excellent. The crab cakes were the best I ve had anywhere. Seafood chowder also delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Bathrooms were clean. 10/10 would recommend.

I finally got to dine at the Dock restaurant. A beautiful and charming place with a Celtic atmosphere.The staff is very friendly and pleasant, it was a fantastic dining experience. This place is cozy and comfortable. My food arrived promptly and was delicious. I had crab cakes, onion rings and cheese Cake for dessert. The food was fabulous and cooked to perfection. The cheese Cake was the best Ive ever had !! If you are in New Glasgow make sure to dine at this exquisite place.

Excellent food - the sundried tomato pasta was out of this world and the fishcakes were lovely, not overly salty or overwhelmingly full of summer savoury. Service was friendly and fast for a sunny Friday lunch.

A bit pricey considering the small proportions.

We walked into this Irish pub by chance and were not disappointed. The meal was very good, the mussels a delight. The waitress was also very friendly. Vegetarian options: There were several proposals on the. Map Parking: We are parked a little further on the main street, free in the evening

Authentic Irish pub feel with super friendly staff. Many Irish favourites on the menu Dietary restrictions: They can make accommodations for gluten-free alternatives

Loved the theme of the restaurant. Nice little pub. The food was okay some of the mussels tasted awful, while some were amazing. Maybe a bad batch. The spinach dip was unreal though! Definitely a must try!

Authentic pub with delicious food. The landlady was a delight, so friendly with many tales of the area. I would strongly recommend stopping by for a pint.

A true Irish Pub, the crab cakes were stupendous and fish & chips great.

Great place! Old building! Loved that Murphys beer! Great Ceasar salad!

Ridiculously charming spot. Chowder was top notch. Food

Enchanting and comfortable. Stopped by for lunch and the place was buzzing with regulars, families, and tourists like ourselves. The chowder was so good that I resented sharing. Over their two decades of running a pub in this (almost) two century old building the owners have built a place that respects the heritage of the site and just feels darn good to visit.

Always good food, always good service with a smile!!

The BEST seafood chowder I ve ever had. The service was great - very friendly. And the local rosé cider was divine.

Great food, great beer, great service.... we will be back!

Visiting from Ontario. Excellent service and the seafood chowder is amazing! Great atmosphere too!

Excellent food, great atmosphere, excellent service. Highly recommended

Nice little Irish style pub, good bar food and cold beer. Serving was alittle small

Very good, just kinda expensive.

I m mainly going off what I ve been told by other people here, I ve heard a lot on people being denied service because they were under 19 and there was alcohol there so they needed a parent or guardian. That s really not how it works, if you serve food then you need to serve food not the alcohol and if you re 18 you can go in. I went in as a little kid (over 10 years ago) and I was served food (this was both with and without parents) there s no reason why they should be doing this there supposed to be family friendly. If a place is even a bar and grill then the fact grill is in there then you have to serve anyone food (as long as not being a disturbance). Also look at Boston pizza and the Apple seed they serve alcoholic beverages (so does jungle Jim s) Anyways I find it messed up

Call and check for hours, it was our third try over a few months for this place. Parking: We parked on a vacant lot up the street on the corner with the main street. We were unsure of where else to park.

Excellent food and even better staff.

This is the best restaurant in town. Food is amazing and the service is even better. Will return time and time again!

Our new favourite restaurant in New Glasgow Delicious seafood chowder with their special bread & mussels, great ambiance, decor, authentic Irish

Quesadilla was excellent, house salad was fresh. Friendly service too. Nice experience .

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere.

Cozy pub, delicious food and friendly service. Love that they have Rickards Red.

Lovely food. Lovely atmosphere. Staff was incredible

Our favorite patio! It s been a long winter but great to hit the roof top patio on the weekend. Staff are welcoming and knowledgeable- something on the menu for everyone. Food is excellent and Tracey and Rachael make everyone feel welcome! We ll be back soon.

The service and the food where outstanding.... I will definitely be back

Food was great and the service was too!!

What a fantastic Irish Pub / Restaurant! Stopped in for lunch on our drive out east earlier this month -- so glad we did... food is excellent -- easily one of the best seafood chowders we had during our whole vacation. Owners are lovely people, the service was amazing. Highly recommend!

An amazing Pub... from food to service, top shelf! Would definitely recommend the cajun crab cakes.

Very rude and condescending staff. food is fine. definitely better places to eat in town

Superb, Ireland within our reach, great beer, food and service!

Very cool little pub, Im obsessed with old buildings so this was the place to go!! Food was delicious, the seafood chowder is amazing!! Super friendly staff, lots of fun stories to share and a welcoming environment! Highly recommend for pub food and good atmosphere

Expensive,

Had a lovely lunch here but if you want a good cup of coffee, go just around the corner to The River Run Cafe

Great food and atmoshphere. The sever made a great recommendation for the fish tacos

Good food. Great service.

This place is great, I gave it a 4 as the aircon wasnt working, other than that it was fine. Thanks Tara, your hospitality is fantastic.

Nice place,expensive pints

Excellent service and the food is delicious! Relaxed atmosphere

Really good food

If youre looking for some Irish pub atmosphere this is the place. Friendly with good pub food. Only negative is small and not enough real Irish beer on tap.

You will love it! Irish Charm with a very good chef pallet!

Cozy place, great atmosphere but has a menu as old as the building itself. No menu posted online. The building itself and the kitchen/serving staff are the true backbone of the resturant. The owners treat their employees like dirt, they take tips and think their workers are disposable. Please be kind to them.

Always great service

A truly great pub in the heart of New Glasgow, in an old , beautiful building. Food and beer were great, but what makes this place really special is the hospitality and service. Like visiting a friend s place for a pint and a delicious bite to eat. Not to miss while in the New Glasgow area. Thanks for the great service!

As I have traveled to Ireland many times, this pub perfectly shows what a pub should be

Gorgeous old Irish pub, with a fantastic menu. This might become a regular stop for us while driving across Nova Scotia.

The BEST blackened haddock I have ever had. The flavor was on point. 10/10 recommend and def would go back again when Im in town.

Superior pub! :-) We muchly enjoyed two bowls of mussels (excellent sauces) and an also very good soup-of-the-day. The desserts were also scrumptious and sophisto. Bangers & Mash? Yum!

Really cool spot in New Glasgow. Good selection of beer on tap and both the fish and chips, and fish tacos were awesome. Would recommend.

We ordered fish tacos, seafood chowder, and crab cakes. They were all delicious! I could just eat crab cakes as main.

The service was gold and the food was stupendous! I ordered the fish n chips (homemade spicy tartar ), but the mussels looked really good too...

Awful experience considering I couldn t eat there because my girlfriend didn t have her Id at 7 pm ridiculous absolutely not the place for anyone looking for a bite

One of the coolest places that Ive been, lots of timeless character, wonderful staff and great food and drinks! The location is fantastic being close to the water and the building itself is historic. Thanks for the experience! Cheers

Overall great service. Good food. Would recommend.

I always make a point to stop here when in New Glasgow. Such a lovely place, full of exceptional staff and a creative kitchen! I tried a special dish they were running for the day; Greek tacos! I could have eaten six of these; they were sooo good!

Delicious food and nice atmosphere!

We both had the fish & chips & a drink. The fish it was good but the meal was skimpy portions and overpriced. Wont go again

Always enjoy our trips to New Glasgow as we have lunch at The Dock. There is always a lunch feature and soup of the day. I have enjoyed every meal here, I chose something different each time. My husband always has the red fox sandwich, he says its the best chicken sandwich ever! Great service, lovely owners and a nice selection of cold beer. What more could you want?

Great service and excellent food.

Great service..

After being unable to go to restaurant for a very long time because we lived in Montreal and well..... pandemic! the very first place we came to after moving to New Glasgow was The Dock. We were welcomed as though we were invited personally for dinnee and the food was exceptional. If you like blue cheese definitely try their burger that has it! Cant wait to go back very soon!

Best fish and chips I ve ever had! The spinach dip is amazing too.

Wonderful food and service Stella tasted pretty good too

I love this place! No flat beer here, from my experience. Great fish cakes, but you must come on Friday, for those that dont know.

Excellent food, service and great patio. Highly reccomend.

Always an amazing experience here! The food is reasonable, portions are large, beer options are plentiful, and staff is kind! It has a really nice ambience with the fireplace inside as well.

Fish tacos are excellent and the power bowl is delicious!

The waitress was amazing! Super friendly and accommodating. The food was just as amazing and you cannot beat the atmosphere. Wish we lived closer. We would definitely be regular customers.

Excellent food! Not happy about being sat in the corner, but able to treat my 74-year old friends birthday....

Amazing place to sit eat and listen to music..beautiful historical location

Cozy little pub with lots of character, locals and great service. Excellent place to spend the afternoon.

Always excellent

Great food and great service.

Fabulous staff, nice selection of craft beers. Always lovely to sit by the open wood burning fire. The patio is tucked away upstairs, great place to have an affair.

Really, really great food. Had the choice of 2nd floor patio or 1st floor indoor dinning. Great old fashioned pub. Staff were very friendly!

Its a nice place with a very friendly employees and really good food

Good service. Very high quality food! The portion sizes could have been bigger as French fries and pasta arent expensive. Overall a quality place for drinks and food!

Great food great beer love this place

What a great authentic Irish bar in New Glasgow. Place is well decorated, friendly staff and good food. Great crab cakes and Pints aplenty. Dont ask the owner to sell you the wall decor its not for sale.lol...

Food is excellent!! We had fish tacos and a steak sandwich- both were done perfectly!! Highly recommend!

We came here as a group of 5 on the week of the 15th. We were on our way to cape Breton. We are from Vancouver. This is a lovely old Irish pub. Very authentic looking and feeling. I ordered the fish tacos. My partner ordered the blackened haddock. I have to say that this was one of the best, most memorable meals I ve ever had. And I ve had them all over the world. On our way way back from Cape Breton we stopped here again. Lightning strikes twice! You have to go here. We got to meet Carmel the owner along with the rest of her staff. All top notch! Being in the restaurant business you really appreciate the effort that goes into this place. The food, service and ambiance were over the top. What a treasure to find! See toy again next year!!!

Awesome on tap beers! The servers are super friendly. I had the sun dried tomato and scallop pasta, it was DIVINE!! Also a very cute atmosphere!

Great food and service. Well be back.

Excellent food, great decor and fast friendly service!

Was told 10-15min Wait for a table for 2. Which is ok, theyre busy...waited 30mins outside in the cold, and a group of 7 who had been waiting maximum 5 mins were invited in and given a table. A group if 3 were seated shortly after as we were leaving because they clearly didnt want us there I guess. Oh well. Bye

Best mussels Ive ever had. Seafood chowder was very tasty but was very lacking in seafood other than white fish. This visit was a 4 stars, but its usually a 5, so they are likely feeling the effects of staff shortages as most other restaurants are right now.

Gr8 servive and wonferful food. Unique setting- irish pub

Very good restaurant with good ambiance. My girlfriend loved. I definitely would recommend. Service was a bit long though

great service, extremely friendly staff, good food

Great traditional pub with friendly staff, good beer, and tasty food. In a lovely old building built in the mid 1800s. A couple pints of stout with a good friend on a rainy night is a simple pleasure that should not be forgotten.

Excellent! Food is always good and the family who runs it take pride in their work and really make you feel at home and that youre part of the family. A real staple in the town! It is ways a treat coming here to eat!

The Dock, on George Street in New Glasgow, is an authentic Irish Pub with good prices, good service and amazing food. We really enjoyed our meals here and had a great time. Highly recommended; I would definitely visit more if I lived closer.

This is a very special place located in downtown New Glasgow Nova Scotia. The food is second to none and the owners of this fine establishment are the absolute salt of the earth. The all stone building is an old publishing house built in the early 1800 s...so beautiful and amazing. Try everything! For desert have the bread pudding...you won t be disappointed I promise.

Loved this place for many years! Great an cosy atmosphere! Awesome Seafood Chowder with house made Irish Soda Bread.

The Dock is a true gem! The environment is cozy, warm and inviting. The staff is friendly, prompt and will remember your drink order. The food is delicious - if you like garlic, the Caesar salad is a must! Would certainly recommend.

Amazing food. The service was excellent.

Their management is extremely rude, would not recommend to anyone.

Food was good but not overly special, but great staff. Very friendly and they made a killer old fashioned.

Very underwhelmed with the place. The atmosphere is nice but the drinks are overpriced and the food is ok. Portions are pretty small and nothing special in taste. I found a piece of melted plastic in my lasagna and didn t get an apology or anything from the waitress. Service was very slow and we left without having dessert because they were so slow. Will not be coming back.

Nice little Irish-style pub. Decent draught selection and great service.

Favorite spot in NS

If you want to taste the best ceasar salad dressing, look no farther then The Dock in New Glasgow. They have a daily soup special which is homemade and delicious no matter which day it is that you have it! Lots of beer on tap, many delicious items on the menu. The ambiance is friendly and inviting.

Good beer, good food and impeccable service in a historic house.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff, would recommend it to anyone

Great food, cold beer and great service. Chish and Fips were definitely worth it.

Great food and a friendly environment

My favourite watering hole back home!

Friendly atmosphere, conducive to relaxation. Good meal. To recommend.

Great mussels and atmosphere.

Excellent, as always!

Delicious

Really neat pub. Tasty meal and friendly service. Typical noisy patrons having lunch before getting back to work.

Service was fast, food was hot and a pIace I will go again.

A nice Irish pub with an atmosphere and great service. Wide variety of drinks and food is quite nice. I just wish theyd have an other stout than Murphys.

Quaint little place. Great food. Nice atmosphere. We had salmon on special, chicken penne and crab dip. Very enjoyable! Traveling through, not familiar with area, had a hard time finding parking. No parking on premises. Otherwise highly recommend!

very good for making kaka

The Dock is an institution in New Glasgow. It is in one of the most beautiful historic buildings in town. Gorgeous exposed stone masonry and old structural beams. Owners are lovely people as well. Highly recommended.
