The Press Gang Restaurant & Oyster Bar
The Original Oyster Bar.
The beauty of an oyster comes from it’s simplicity, and sharing a plate of oysters with friends is a mutual understand that the ocean’s gifts are best in their purest form. We’ve been serving up oysters from all over the maritimes since before it was in fashion. Sit at our bar, in front of hundreds of oysters on ice, and be transported throughout our maritime coastal landscape and terroir.
We have a grand piano in our dining room for a reason. Every Friday and Saturday night we host local bands who play jazz, soul, blues and classics from dinner service into the evening. See social media for live music updates.
Scotch, Wine & Cocktails
We take pride in having a well rounded bar, with an array of ways to unwind and imbibe. The wine cellar selection and by-the-glass list are carefully chosen and feature some of our favourite local wineries. Our seasonal cocktail list is a fusion of signature cocktails from our head bartenders, and classic recipes. And, we are home to one of Nova Scotia’s most extensive scotch selections, with over 100 single malts on hand.
Private Dining
Let us host your next special event. Our 18th century private dining room “The Henry Room” comfortably accommodates 12 guests and we offer one semi-private space, suitable for up to 25 guests. Special menus available upon request. Contact the restaurant for bookings.
