Come savor a savory dish at The Arms. Come sit at the bar with a refreshment and recline on their terrace beneath the sun. They are open at night all week. You can get there not only by car but also by public transit.
Located in the Lord Nelson Hotel, the Arms is the reincarnation of the Victory Arms Pub. It is now less pub-like but they have kept their popular “twice-fried” nachos on the menu. These are actually twice-baked, ensuring that there is a proper layer of melted cheese in the middle. This is a generous portion for $13, and The Arms uses their own house-pickled banana peppers, which adds a nice touch.
Completely redesigned and renovated in late 2014, the Arms is a Halifax classic. With Union Jacks everywhere and big leather chairs, it’s comfortable, cozy and inviting. Working lunches that tend to run a bit long, are ideal here, because you can spread out and settle in with lots of space. Shepherd’s pie and chicken potpie are comfort food favourites, especially during the colder winter months.
