The Best Sports Bars in Halifax, Nova Scotia

HFX Sports’ unwritten motto seems to be “go big or go home.” With over 90 TVs, a 235-inch main screen and an onsite technician that can ensure you have access to any sporting event, this is the ultimate sports bar destination. It also offers a private suite for larger groups and events.

Niche has televisions throughout their bar, but the real place to be is on the patio. During the warm weather, the bar sets up a giant screen outside, so you can watch the game. Another perk? The happy hour runs from 4 p.m. to close every day!

One of the best patios around ?

If you find yourself in the city’s more residential west end, take in the game at Bubba Ray’s Too. A Halifax favourite, Bubba Ray’s has received awards for having the best atmosphere, best wings and overall best sports bar.

The oldest tavern in the city, Oasis, opened its doors in 1949 and has been a Halifax institution ever since! It is decidedly less flashy than the other sports bars in the city and is a great place to grab a pitcher and watch the game in a laid back, unpretentious atmosphere.

Catch the game at one of Boston Pizza’s two locations: downtown or in Bayer’s Lake, the city’s industrial park. If you’re downtown, head across the street to the Split Crow pub after the game for a true Nova Scotian night out.

Located across the street from the Scotiabank Center, this is the place to be before and after every Halifax Mooseheads hockey game. This popular no frills spot serves up pub food and pitchers and shows sporting events on the big screen.

When in #halifax…..
