Niche Lounge - Halifax

Our visit to niche was excellent! Dining with friends, we all enjoyed our meals and took advantage of the fantastic happy hour specials. The atmosphere and service at the restaurant were exceptional. While all of our dishes were tasty, the pulled pork mac and cheese stole the show (though we forgot to snap a picture of it).

This new version of a well-known Halifax establishment is a definite improvement over their previous location. However, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant is a bit unclear. Is it aiming to be a sports bar or a lounge? It seems to have a bit of an identity crisis. The vibe is reminiscent of chain restaurants like Boston Pizza or Jack Astor's.

I had a pleasant experience at this restaurant. I opted for the club sandwich with a side of fries. The food was tasty, but I think it could be improved with a lighter choice of bread. The nachos were average, as expected. My friends had the mac and cheese, which looked great but was just okay in taste. I was a bit surprised to be charged for mayo, a basic condiment for sandwiches. It wasn't a lot of money, but it was a disappointing end to the meal.

Always love niche! I come here weekly and their food is always tasty with decent price. Their happy hours never disappoint you. I love their atmosphere here and the servers always friendly and helpful! I’ll keep coming back for even a beer! Cheers! The most my favorite bar in Halifax!

Drinks and apps are reasonably priced during happy hours. I would suggest going for the Martinis if you are there on a Thursday same price/liquor content as the cocktails, but tastier and with no ice to water things down! Our server was really lovely as well. Great place to kick back and get some drinks and snacks.
