Detailed Information
Oliver's Gastropub
Located within the Inn on the Lake in Fall River, a short drive north of Halifax, Oliver's Gastropub is a traditional European-style pub that has served the Halifax area for decades; the owners say it is built on the bones of eight other pubs that fed the local market over the past 50 years. The cozy European-style pub centres on a handcrafted bar, dark woods, a warm fireplace, and soft southern blues, with an upper level that can be configured for parties of 8 to 10. The kitchen leans on local favourites and daily chef surprises, backed by a broad selection of beers, wines, and spirits.
