With an ever-rotating tap of local craft brews (buy a Growler to fill) and interesting selection of wines, ciders and spirits, WestSide is a great addition to the neighbourhood. Tip: save $1 on refills of your own growlers every Friday after 4PM.

The most beautiful and popular beach near Halifax - white sands and clear waters. NB: there are three beaches at this beach and the third one is known to be a nudist beach. It's quite a way along the trail, so you won't accidentally come across it if you don't want to.
