About The Townhouse
Craft-beer bar and farm-to-table kitchen at 76 College Street in Antigonish, pairing rotating local taps with a seasonal menu and handmade cocktails in a university-town room.
Features & Highlights
Detailed Information
The Townhouse is a craft-beer-focused, farm-to-table restaurant and bar on College Street in downtown Antigonish, the gateway town to Nova Scotia's Northumberland Shore. Part neighbourhood gathering spot and part destination for a good meal, it's the kind of place that anchors a town's evening out — local beer on tap, a seasonal kitchen, and a cocktail program built alongside the food.
What to Expect
The draw here is local craft beer paired with a farm-to-table menu that leans on regional ingredients, rounded out by handmade cocktails. Expect a menu that shifts with the seasons rather than a static lineup, and a convivial, social atmosphere that reflects its role as a community gathering spot in a university town.
Because beer rotations, seasonal dishes, and events change regularly, the most reliable way to see what's currently on tap and on the menu is to check The Townhouse's website before you go. It's a popular local spot, so arriving with a plan for busy evenings is wise.
Exploring the Area
Antigonish sits at a useful crossroads for a Nova Scotia road trip — within reach of the Northumberland Strait's warm-water beaches and a reasonable stop between the Halifax area and Cape Breton. If you're touring the province's breweries, The Townhouse is a natural stop on a wider Nova Scotia craft beer route — see our Nova Scotia craft beer guide for more ideas.
