About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for live music
  • Good for groups
Durty Nelly’s is one of Ireland’s most famous landmarks, and is now one of Ireland’s best-loved restaurants for its hospitality, food, and what the Irish like to call “craic agus ceol”. It is located in the picturesque village of Bunratty, County Clare, sitting in the shadows of the famous 15th century Bunratty Castle. We had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful landmark and would love to share our experiences with you. Our restaurant may not sit in the shadows of a 15th century castle, but we are blessed to be located on the corner of Argyle and Sackville Street in beautiful downtown Halifax surrounded by some of Nova Scotia’s most famous landmarks. Sit back, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy some genuine Irish charm!

    I made and confirmed reservations for 8 people well in advance, we were seated at a reserved table but it was crammed into a corner at a high table, chairs and bench that were awkward use. I would think if you reserved a table you would be seated at a table not at bar stools. We had to disturb our companions as well as fellow diners to get out to the restroom or move around at all.. The wait staff had to pass food across the table, in front of us or ask us to pass food. I would recommend this pub in some cases, but would point out if you reserve make sure you specify and ascertain if a sporting event is on. The food was good our servers also good. The noise level decreased when the soccer game ended.

    We were a group of six dining before the evening performance at Neptune Theatre. Food was good and served in a timely manner - there were no worrying glances at watches making sure we had time to comfortably get to the theatre. Our server was efficient and friendly.

    We love this place! The atmosphere at Durty Nelly’s is just one of the reasons to go. The staff appear to get along and work well together and enjoy what they do. You are made to feel very welcomed there by all. This particular occasion was a birthday celebration for a good friend. Our server Megan went above and beyond with our table. She is definitely an asset to the business.! We love to be there for Saturday matinees with Bruce & Jay. Durty Nelly’s is my happy place.

    We came as a large family group. A few of us were Vegan. There were really no options for us to have. Even the veggie burger was made with egg. We were surprised. We love the pub but will be unable to visit again unless we have an option available to us. We were also told that your fish and other fried items are done in the same fryer as the chips. It would be nice to see you expand the menu to include vegan options. This was the first place in Halifax we have visited that this has happened. Most often the chef is able to accommodate us some how - but we were told no this time. There are many pubs in the city now that offer a number of burgers and pastas and rice dishes that are egg and meat free, with vegan mayo and a good selection of sides/soups. Cheers
