Pacifico

Love this place. Nicely restored with live funk during the week. And jazz on the weekend i hear. What more could you ask for?

Love everything. Bouncer is nice and remembered us later on when we were going in and out. Bartender was awesome drinks are delicious and strong in my opinion which I like; worth every penny. Live music! Good live music excellent environment for dancing. The building is gorgeous and clean.

This space is fun and nicely styled. This bar is inside of an old bank, and some of the decor makes playful acknowledgement of this. The layout of the main makes it a bit difficult to move around the space, and there seems to be little effort in any acoustic dampening, which makes having conversations challenging. The bar staff were brisk but efficient. Confused as to why, but one of the bar staff lied to my face, telling me that they weren't serving any mixed drinks cocktails or highballs, when they very clearly were. This was confirmed a short while later when another bartender make me a highball without question.

My husband and I are avid jive/swing dancers so I was excited to learn this venue existed when we moved to Halifax a year ago. Such a disappointment when we finally visited last month. The venue is beautiful but the service was appalling and the food and drinks similar. Service: - We were charged $5 cover each in a perplexing exchange at the door. When I gave the "doorman" a $20 he made $10 change from his wallet ?! - $10 cover was later added to our bill. When we informed the head bartender we had already paid he became angry and said we shouldn't have been charged at the door as there was no cover that night. What ensued was an aggressive exchange between the bartender and us, leading to a visit to the doorman, and finally finding the 'waiter' whom took our cash to verify we had paid at the door. I couldn't believe that the bartender did not believe we had already paid and made it such an issue! What I should have been questioning was why this was even a discussion if there was no cover. Once it was verified we had paid at the door the charge was removed from our bill. It was only after we left that I realized we should have also gotten $10 cash back as there was no cover - The head bartender has a very fowl mouth. I am not offended by swearing, but it is unprofessional when every sentence contains the F word. Band - Quite simply the band looked bored. We were there on a Saturday night so the G Street Band was playing. The singer sat on a stool off to the side. I have never seen this with a live band. And she spent more time "on break' looking at her phone while the band played sans singer than singing. My husband and I had come planning to dance and would have done so if the band had played anything with any energy at all. Drinks - For some reason the drinks were awful and tasted nothing like what the classic cocktails should. I love whiskey sours, and had the sweetest whiskey sour I have ever tasted. Food - We were there for drinks and dancing so only ordered the Tex Mex Dip. The dip was served ice cold in a tall glass bowl that made it difficult to eat. Unpleasant. And tiny serving for $14. In summary, the worst experience I have ever had at a Halifax venue. We will never return due to the rude staff and bored band. And it seems we are owed $10. If I was the owner/manager I would be reviewing my staff choices.

What a lovely evening we had. Atmosphere is Food was fabulous. Staff were super friendly and the G Street Band doesn't disappoint. Can't wait till we're in the area again.

Absolutely the spot for New Years Eve, the vibes were perfect. Drinks weren't to bad for price and there was free coat check with the tickets. That also meant no line to get in

I had one of the best birthday parties ever . Thanks for being welcoming and friendly . I recommend their food and drink . The music was amazing too .

Great atmosphere, if you haven't visited, you must! Great venue and a wedding would be incredible to host here!

Food is incredible, esp the Wagyu beef burger. Fries are pretty decent as well! The building has such history embedded in the walls, you can absorb it from the sound waves reverberating off of it. I usually go on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The band was great, unfortunately the service/venue… not so much. We were in town on vacation and picked up a complimentary cover/flyer at our hotel lobby. We were seated without issue, although the greeting staff seemed confused about the flyer and informed us cover wasn’t required anyway. About 20 minutes and halfway through our first round of drinks we were approached by another staff member who asked to see the flyer. We provided it and were told that they had never seen this flyer before. They asked where we received it, and we informed them the name of the hotel. The staff member thanked us, and told us not to worry as we had valid entry but that they do indeed charge cover. After a short 5 minutes she returned, and began enquiring of the specific location of the hotel chain we were staying at. At this point, the story was “so we know exactly which locations the flyers are bringing in the most customers”. Pacifico, it is *none* of your business where my parter and I are staying - thank you for making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome in your establishment. We have no problem never returning.
