A
Economy Shoe Shop
This has been the 'it' place to drink and people-watch in Halifax for a decade. On weekend nights actors and journalists figure heavily in the crush. It's a pleasant place for afternoon drinks but note that this is one of the more expensive establishments in town. The kitchen dishes out tapas until last call.

Marquee
This is the choice venue for touring bands and big-name locals; shows start around 22:30. Up-and-coming musicians play downstairs in Hell's Kitchen. Admission to the Marquee gets you into Hell's Kitchen, but not vice versa. Check their website for information on upcoming events.

Reflections Cabaret
If you're looking for a wild night out look no further. A mainly gay disco that attracts a mixed crowd, nightly entertainment ranges from wrestling to drag shows to sensory stage shows. It opens at 16:00, but the action really starts after 22:00 and it stays open until 03:00.

This rickety old 400-seat theater is rumored to have a resident ghost. Built as an Oddfellows Hall in 1907, it's now a favorite venue for rock and folk musicians. Check the posters in the window for what's coming up.
