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.

Dome
Dubbed the 'Liquordome,' with four venues under one roof. 'The Attic' has live music; the others are nightclubs open until 03:00. It's a bit of a meat market and a favorite for heavy drinkers.
