Peacock Wine Bar

A refreshing new breed of wine bar, Peacock is both a relaxed and boisterous hideaway. Located at Queen’s Marque district overlooking Halifax’s picturesque waterfront, Peacock welcomes locals and visitors alike for everything from cinq à septs to wining and dining to late night grazing.

Led by Marco Gucciardi (Director of Operations) and James Pottie (General Manager and Wine Director), our team at Peacock prides ourselves on our ever-evolving list of 90+ wines, featuring many small-production, hard-to-find labels from around the world. An extensive by-the-glass selection, balanced cocktail list, and chef-driven menu of small plates make Peacock the perfect place for both quick pop-ins and leisurely evenings out.

Our confident and knowledgeable team of servers and bartenders are super passionate about wine and eager to strut their stuff. Don’t be shy about telling us what you like or don’t like—we’re always at the ready to help you navigate the menu, dole out recommendations and stories, and offer tasters. Our goal is to leave you sipping pretty on a glass or bottle you absolutely love.

For all you peckish folks, Chef Bill Osborne and Chef Moira Murray have combined their talents to deliver a tightly curated menu of seasonally inspired dishes where vegetables and handmade pastas take starring roles. Each plate is thoughtfully composed with creative flourishes and made fresh in house. Word to the wise: Don’t sleep on the eggplant sandwich.

While our space incorporates bold colour palettes and dramatic lighting, our sense of whimsy runs wild throughout our ceiling and wall murals, birdcage banquettes, floor tiles and even—ahem —the washrooms. Our space may be a little on the fancy schmancy side, but don’t be fooled: All are welcome at Peacock Wine Bar. So what are you waiting for? Let’s flock to it!
