The Split Crow Pub
Historic Properties, Granville Street, Halifax, NS (902) 422-4366 www.splitcrow.com
The Split Crow Pub was voted the best “happy hour” establishment in Halifax by the readers of the popular newspaper The Coast. The Split Crow is named after the first pub that was created in Halifax in 1749 by a Mr. John Shippey who called it The Spread Eagle. He had it built at the corner of Salter and Water streets but it is now located in an historic properties building on Granville Street near the harbourfront. There is a wide selection of beer to choose from, including the three microbrews: Garrison, Propeller and John Shippey's (brewed by Propeller). The selection of Shippey’s beer includes: Split Crow Cream Ale, Shippey’s IPA, Rafter Red Ale, Amber Ale, Crow Select and Porter (a personal favourite), all very good choices. Shippey’s was at one time brewed on the waterfront but Propeller brewery has since taken over in the brewing of the ales. The pub boasts a large clientele ranging from university students to mature pub lovers all of which enjoy the live music and Keith’s fine beers. Just a short walk up from the harbour, it’s a good destination for drinkers and pub fans. For menu items and a complete beer menu, visit their website.
