Stillwell Beer Bar opened in 2013, and became an instant hit with their chalkboard menu of rotating craft beer. Fast forward to summer 2015: Stillwell pilots a patio project on the Halifax boardwalk using a shipping container for the bar. Taps rotate but they're always 100 per cent Nova Scotian – summery beers, wine, cold brew coffee, lemonade – Stillwell’s got it all. In true Biergarten fashion, there is small menu of locally made hotdogs, sausages and pretzels. This locals’ hangout is right in the middle of tourist central but it manages to blend the two worlds in beer-drenched harmony.
