Just to let you know, you are quoting the wrong restaurant website. The Rock Bottom website for the microbrewery and pub here in Halifax is http://www.rockbottombrewery.ca/.

We had the stuffed haddock with lobster and the pork tenderloin stuffed with goat cheese in a cherry sauce. It was amazing! Entrees came with roasted veggies and potato and portions were very filling. Prices were very reasonable and the atmosphere is very clean and nicely decorated. Our waitress was very sweet and we didn’t wait long for our meal.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food that’s healthy and fresh. Can’t wait to go back!

WOW!!!!!! I took my wife to Rockbottom for dinner on Friday evening. We were a little skeptical, when we realized it was a brewery. We were so pleased that we went in anyway. Beautiful. Our server Christine made the experience unforgettable. we started off with the provecal mussels, awesome. The dinner just kept getting better and better. Our server made several visits to our table to ensure that we were enjoying everything. I had the stuffed haddock, and my wife had the portobello chicken,both good choices. All in all the atmosphere, service and the value for the money were well worth it. I believe this will become our new favorite place to enjoy dinner and bring our friends to. Thank you so much.

Restaurant is very nice, well laid out. However if you are looking for the menu from the website linked in the review, you’ll be surprised. This place has nothing to do with the American franchise except for the name and the fact they brew their own beer. Too bad, the one I went to was fantastic, great beer which you could purchase in growlers to take home and a vastly more comprehensive menu.

I went to Rock Bottom for my 21st birthday. It wasn’t my first choice. I tried to make a reservation at Rouge’s Roost only to have my attempt declined: “I’m sorry, we don’t take phone reservations.” So, when we showed up the place was moderately busy, just no open tables next to one another, I tried to make a reservation in person (showing the people wanting to eat and explaining that we’re in the industry – so tip wise it was to their benefit). They still declined my attempts and told me to just go somewhere close to pass time and periodically check in for an opening. Yeh right. No.

So, the gang of us went to Oasis down the street (right across the way from Rockbottom) in search of an affordable menu in an environment that would accept our energy and excitement. Oasis was not friendly, the sever seemed to forget about us, and the bartender mixed our drinks behind him – in the refrigerator. Odd, I know. We got hungry and didn’t want to test their kitchen – a call was placed to Rockbottom about a half hour from their closing time and our situation was explained to them.

Not only did the staff encourage our business, but they kept the kitchen open late for us, and rearranged the whole dining room floor for us. We were not only tolerated, but treated first rate. The three gentlemen working (Buck, Aithen and the bartender who’s name slips my mind) were superb. Our every need was met and on a timely fashion. I’m a vegetarian, and there were plenty of options on their menu for me. Their prices are affordable. And the atmosphere was unbeatable.

I will certainly be bringing my business back to Rockbottom. Stellar service.

The Rockbottom was awesome. I went there with some lovely old friends of mine and I have to say like Bret, ” Its got it going on”. Food was great, beer ( especially the wheat) was top notch – they have perfected their craft and the services was fantastic. It was nice to see some clean, handsome male servers in a pub atmosphere for a change. The real kicker was the atmosphere which was cozy and sophisticated. The music was also at a great level for conversation so you didn’t have to keep yelling, “Wha?” like a 90 year old Nan making cookies with EverSweet margarine. The sausage dip was my favorite dish and the manager was my favorite eye candy. Cheers Rockbottom I am looking forward to my next visit to Halifax.

I really like the atmosphere at the Rockbottom.

I will have to try out the gingerbread next time I am there. I am always looking for new places to go for dessert.

I’ve been a bunch of times and thought it was great. Loved the food every time. The desserts are fantastic – esp. the warm gingerbread. I don’t drink beer but they have an excellent wine list at very reasonable prices. Love the cozy stone fireplace. It’s definately my new favorite hang out.

The only food that I have had was the brunch and like I said it was great. I will have to try their pizza, but I don't think that anywhere can beat Morris East. If you haven't been there give it a try. I will be writing a review of it next time I am in. And the beer at the Rockbottom, I guess I will have to give it another try. Maybe it was just the first batch blues and they have improved.

I started going to the rockbottom after i couldn’t get in to the Moustache cause the were so busy and I loved it! I thought the beers were amazing. I agree that the IPA could have had a bit bigger kick and asked the bartender about it and he told me that the next batch would have a bigger kick. I guess they are working out some new bar kinks. I loved the stout though! it was my favorite.I love their pizza’s too. I haven’t found any others in the city that can compete. Some of their sandwiches could use some improvement, I had the roasted veggie and it didn’t have much flavor, but the smoked salmon panini is amazing!! I’d go every day just for that!
