With a total of five locations across Atlantic Canada, Gahan House has become an East Coast staple dedicated to creating memorable experiences. We get our name from John Gahan, a prominent merchant and importer of wines, teas, and groceries on Prince Edward Island in the 19th century. His former place of residence is now the location of the original Gahan House in Charlottetown, P.E. To share our award-winning ales with more of Atlantic Canada, we opened our doors and our taps in Halifax, N.S., Fredericton, Saint John, and Moncton, N.BWe began as a brewpub, and we stay true to our beginnings by having a brew system in-house, ensuring that the beer we serve is as fresh as possible. With a delicious menu, handcrafted ales, and fresh East Coast oysters in our welcoming Gahan atmosphere, we hope you feel right at home.

My husband and I came here before attending a concert. I have only ever been to Gahan House in PEI, well Halifax Gahan House you did not disappoint! The food was fantastic. We orders drinks and some appetizers. I especially LOVE the tuna tartare. We did find it a bit loud to be able to have a conversation but that’s only a minor thing. We will definitely be back!!
