The Henry House is a National Historic Site of Canada that housed William Alexander Henry (a father of Confederation) from 1854 to 1864. Now, it is a restaurant and basement pub, with a cocktail bar on the top floor and a patio in the summer. The Henry House is known for its English pub grub, but also for its nachos. The chips are made in-house and adorned with lots of spicy jalapeños, pineapple and a bold cheddar cheese. Enjoy with a pint or sampler tray of local Granite beer.
Located on the third floor of Henry House, the Drawing Room is upscale, swanky and sophisticated. Although it’s considered by many to be the most exclusive and classically elegant cocktail lounge in Halifax, there is absolutely nothing traditional about the drinks they serve. The bartenders will dazzle you with unimaginable surprises. Be warned: the menu here is a little pricey, so prepare your pocketbook.
