Lot Six Bar & Restaurant

This evening was my first time eating at the lot

I’ve been working away from my family for several weeks so I decided to book a few vacation days and surprise my wife for our anniversary. We’re usually so busy with work and kids that we don’t usually celebrate our anniversary. I decided that it was time to change that. I booked a hotel, did some research on restaurants in Halifax and decided on Lot Six as the place my wife and I could catch up and enjoy our anniversary. After all, Google describes it as “cozy” and the photos seemed to back it up. First off, I will say that the food was great. No issues. The issue I had was that we felt like we were at a night club. The music was loud and the other patrons in the restaurant were BEYOND loud! Everyone was yelling, laughing extremely loud, “wooing”, etc.. It was unbearable. My wife and I couldn’t even talk and we couldn’t hear what our waitress was saying. After we ordered, we wanted to leave and go somewhere else but we felt too bad that we already placed our order. At one point, I went to the washroom and just stayed in there a while just to escape the noise. Unfortunately, we had to sit there for 1 hour until our food arrived (thank god we ordered an appetizer). Instead of having a nice relaxing evening of food and drink, we ate as fast as we could and got out of there. Sadly we had to go to another establishment to get a few drinks and talk. I don’t know if this is the regular atmosphere; but it was one of the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. It was also a little disappointing to spend so much money for that kind of experience. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a romantic, relaxed, quiet atmosphere... you may want to reconsider this location.

We were far enough away from the bathroom at least but could still visually see the entry for it. Not to mention where I sat, had a musty smell, kind of like an old basement rock wall would have. Given the age of the building, this is to be expected but I certainly don't want to smell it while eating.

My husband and I went there on a Sunday evening and were very surprised by the quality of the products, the variety of their menu and the amazing service. I totally recommend and we will go again. Little tip: they have an amazing deal on hosters from 4pm to 6pm; a must really!

We were in town last year for the Memorial Cup and went here the first night. Ended up going just about every night while in town. Great food, excellent service. Comes very highly recommended.
