With a total of six locations across Atlantic Canada, Gahan House has become an East Coast staple dedicated to creating memorable experiences. We get our name from John Gahan, a prominent merchant and importer of wines, teas, and groceries on Prince Edward Island in the 19th century. His former place of residence is now the location of the original Gahan House in Charlottetown, P.E. To share our award-winning ales with more of Atlantic Canada, we opened our doors and our taps in Halifax, N.S., Fredericton, Saint John, and Moncton, N.B., and St. John’s, N.L.We began as a brewpub, and we stay true to our beginnings by having a brew system in-house, ensuring that the beer we serve is as fresh as possible. With a delicious menu, handcrafted ales, and fresh East Coast oysters in our welcoming Gahan atmosphere, we hope you feel right at home.

    The food was absolutely incredible. We had the cornbread as a starter and we’ll definitely be back for more. Our mains were done to perfection and the cheesecake for dessert was amazing. The drink menu is varied, with a lot of delicious options. Our server was prompt and engaging. The general ambiance was upbeat and casual, with a mix of people celebrating or just having a fun evening out. This was our second visit, and we’re already looking forward to our third!

    Fantastic…. And I do mean FANTASTIC. Only one small downside is that the seating at the bar was not comfortable, low backs, slope away seating wasn’t good. Apart from that this place is a GEM! We’ve been before & will go back again!

    Tribute stands to be my favorite new restaurant thus far in the halifax area. Like I've stated in the past, I experience a lot of restaurants around the area, and Tribute is one that perfects all levels of service. Food is always top notch, every bite is flavorful. Service is always perfect from the "welcome back" to the "we look forward to seeing you again" your made to feel welcomed and enjoyed. Even when I was 22 mins late for my reservation, I was not felt rushed. The three men that took care of us, the host, server and mixologist each coming to see how our experience was going. The atmosphere is perfect, even when it's full and live with chatter and the kitchen is roaring the atmosphere does not feel over whelming like alot of the other restaurants around that sardine thier guests. Tribute is just that, to a dining experience labeled with excellence. See you folks again soon!
