Went to Celtic Corner for a beer with friends, I've never been to this location before last night after living in the area for a few months, and will definitely be returning. I got the chicken bacon melt with potatoes & veggies which was more than expected. So much chicken (breast, not breaded) on the burger (which is rare) and simple potato wedges with broccoli.

It was a lot of food for under... more

This was a burger week scope the place out visit. E and I both went for the burger week special which was one they normally have on the menu, the trio burger - 8oz Angus patty, bacon, and cheddar. He got a poutine with it and I went with onion rings because they carry a beer battered one. Yum, one of my faves! We both got iced tea as a drink. I was not impressed with the burger. I doubt that it... more

Entertaining Atmosphere

My Wife & I stopped in here after watching the Halifax Fireworks on July 1st at the recommendation of our Hotel desk Clerk! I must say that we were very Impressed! The Atmosphere was very energetic & entertaining,the servers were prompt,friendly,and courteous too! We simply stopped in for some draft & Nachos to relax for a bit before heading back... more

Classic Pub, delicious food, great service and MAYBE the best patio in the HRM.

Oh you want MORE??? Well I don't get to Dartmouth too often but when I do in the summer, I usually end up here on the patio. They have such a fantastic view of the Halifax skyline. The perk of Dartmouth is looking at the waterfront of Halifax.

The food is simple but consistent. You will not be disappointed but it... more

Second Time in Two Nights

Again. Good! Fine service. Good corned beef. Also nachos were fine. Beer was cold and delivered fast!

The Spot

Great beer selection and excellent food. What can I say! Everyone knows it so its hard to get seats sometimes, but wells worth the wait. Or go to the stand up bar and have a pint! What a great view from their terrace patio! Ocean and harbour view! Great beer, great service, great food, makes a great place!

Ah the Celtic...my go to pub in Dartmouth. I usually nickname it the "Old Triangle version 2.0", for in many ways it does resemble the Old Triangle pub in Halifax. The staff are always fun, local micro-brewery beer is delish, and the food menu has some choice items on it also: although nachos are not an Irish food specialty that I am aware of, they make them delicious here. Celtic also offers... more

I just love the Celtic. They can accommodate large groups on weekends for live music, and they've got snug little hidey-holes for intimate date nights.

The staff are awesome, the curry and chips are TO DIE FOR and the Guinness is cold. Also, their rooftop patio has gorgeous views of the Halifax Harbour in the summertime (and there's a tap up there, so no long waits for suds! Bonus!)

Simply ..."Good Pub Fare

Celtic Corner is pretty reliable. I've been there many times for lunch and a few times for dinner. Usual Pub offerings are on the menu and the food is very good. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is very Pub-like. Get there early if you are going for lunch on a Thursday or Friday.

Great pub food and very good live music

It can be a busy spot on some nights. The service is excellent and the choice of good ol fashioned pub food is generous including some Irish dishes. Portions are excellent and I haven't tried a dish there in a number of visits I didn't like. The bands that play there are also very good.

I am suspicious after reading other positive reviews that my boyfriend and I may have ordered wrong... I ordered the fisherman's pie (like sheppard's pie but with fish & seafood base). The base was quite rich and very heavy on black pepper. It consisted of one chunk of salmon, one chunk of haddock, one scallop, and one shrimp. It wasn't awful but definitely not something I would order again. I... more

Went here with a group of Yelpers for a Saturday afternoon, beer and bite. They accommodated our group of 11 pretty easily. Drink orders were promptly taken and arrived pretty quickly. A good selection of beer, I believe I had a Harp.

A couple plates of nachos and a munchie platter were ordered for the table. Those too came pretty quickly. The nachos were piled with lots of good stuff and the... more

Good food, cold drinks, easy location, friendly service.

Food: 3/5
Tasty, but slightly more bland than I expected. I ordered the Trinity Steak Boxty with the Caesar Salad, and it wasn't bad. BUT, I expected a bit more richness to the Potato Pancake covering diced up steak, mushrooms and onions. It was ok, but not great. I've had the Maple Curry Chicken, and it's great, but it won't make up for... more

Need a great place for fish & chips and a cold Guinness ? Well search no more I've found the place.

Celtic Corner is a Celtic gem found in downtown Dartmouth ..but don't let this stop you from checking it out. Inside you will find tons of comfy booths as well as your typical pub style wooden tables and chairs. The walls are covered with Irish type things. In the evenings you can pop in and... more

After spending much of the summer on the Celtic Corner rooftop, I suggested it for my mom's birthday dinner. My family hadn't been here for a few years, and it reminded them of how much of a gem this place really is.
I'm a recent transplant to the Dartmouth side, and Celtic Corner is my go-to pub for impressing visitors to my side of the harbour. The rooftop patio (if you can find your way up... more

I haven't been here often, but, I've enjoyed it each time!

On Saturday's they seem to be quite busy - with a live band and extremely attentive bar staff who keep reminding you that you have ordered shots earlier with "can I get you another round of shots?"

The atmosphere is great, draws a good crowd, and they have a roof top patio! Downside - the dance floor is very, very small. I've seen... more

I've really only popped my body into the ever so dartmouth loved Celtic Corner like 3 times in my life.

Each time, I soak up the overwhelming robust atmosphere. She's definitely a pub! And you definitely can't knock it. I love me a good pub. Each time it's been ridiculously packed and the service never suffers because of it. It has such neat little private rooms tucked away into corners. Some... more

Good service and great patio.

Two words: rooftop patio.

Okay a few more words: getting up to the patio can be a little confusing for first timers. You go up one flight and come out onto parking lot area...

Look to your right a little bit for the next set of stairs 30 feet in front of you.

Yes those stairs.

Now get up there and drink some cold beer and marvel at the view. Bring some friends and reminisce about the good... more

My Celtic Corner experience is limited. I've visited a grand total of once.

But it was a hot summer evening, and we were headed to check out the patio upstairs. After the mysterious trek through the back stairs of the building, finding the parking garage out back where the green turf carpet somewhat elusively led us to the patio stairs, I was pleasantly surprised. This is one seriously... more

Celtic Corner Public House

Now that summer is finally upon us, might I suggest venturing up to the rooftop patio at the Celtic Corner. If you enter the front door of the pub, it is a rather circuitous route up a dingy (bordering squalid) set of stairs, but it is worth it to get to the top. You will be pleasantly suprised by the ample seating, sun exposure, and most importantly, the fantastic view of the Halifax... more

My Aunt took me here the other day so I could try it as she highly recommended this place. I could see why as soon as I stepped in through the doors.

The atmosphere was really beautiful and dark, with an Irish feeling to it along with some music playing from the speakers to set the mood and tone. The waitress took a bit to get to us and didn't seem pleased I had already gotten my Aunt an I a... more

Mmm. Delish. Had to run to TIBS on Christmas Eve morning to pick up croissants so we stopped decided to grab some brunch in Dartmouth while we were out and about. When I went to NSCC in Dart we often ended up here for lunch, drinks and on St. Paddys Day!

The brunch service can sometimes be spotty, but I find the staff working evenings are always fantastic. The food is ALWAYS good, and this is... more

Travelling from Vancouver, I didn't really know any good places to eat in downtown Dartmouth. Fortunately, my friend who is a local, suggested meeting at this restaurant, and I thoroughly enjoyed this place!

First, there was amazing live music that really set a welcoming atmosphere for one my first nights in the Maritimes. Everyone was clapping and singing (and some even dancing) along.

The... more

Not just the best pub in Dartmouth, but one of the best in the HRM, period. For starters, the Celtic Corner has great atmosphere. It may not be as old as many of the pubs in the Emerald Isle, but it definitely has that lived-in feel of a true Irish pub, not just the plastic Paddy feel of so many Irish pubs in Halifax. It also has a great selection of draft, and consistently good pub grub: not... more

My friends and I went out to dinner at Celtic Corner for my birthday this weekend. It's an often overlooked spot when we run down the available restaurant choices in Dartmouth, likely because it's tucked into an odd spot downtown Dartmouth. However, I was very happy we thought of this place.

The inside bar is full of dark wood and comfy tables that give the place a worn, happy atmosphere. If... more

Celtic Corner Public House

I've always enjoyed the food here, and it's a popular spot in Dartmouth. They often have live music, and it's one of the best places to be on St. Patty's Day. If you're from Halifax, it's worth it to take a ferry ride over, enjoy a few beers, and ferry back!

Celtic Corner Public House

a pretty good spot for a cold one and some pub grub. The salads are good too. I hear the regulars on Friday night can get a wee bit 'rowdy'....but its all in good fun ;). Staff is pretty good too! Love the live music!

Celtic Corner Public House

Great atmosphere, wonderful food and the best draught beers. On the average Friday night, Celtic Corner is pretty busy and the clientele range in age from early twenties to seniors. Staff is friendly (mostly) and customers happy. Probably the best pub in Dartmouth.

This place is great! The atmosphere is fantastic! It really feels like a real ol' Irish Pub! They have great live music and the staff is always very kind.

The food is above the normal standard for a pub in this city and they carry the old traditional irish meals as well as local and canadian! I personally love the chicken and broccolli fettuccini alfredo. The drinks are always cold and the... more

I've been putting off this review not because I wasn't a fan, but because this place is totally awesome. 5 stars across the board from service to food to beverages. Decor is cozy, well lit, large distressed wooden tables, feels like a real Irish pub, but located right across the ferry terminal in Dartmouth.
Great live music, traditional Irish pub fare, steak and Guinness pie is my personal... more

Just writing this review makes me crave the days of summer. The days when the crisp golden sun tattoos your body, and an ice cold beer is all that can soothe you.

First off, the patio is first class! It's on the roof, and all you can see is the crisp blue ocean! If you're lucky enough to land a table up there, then you're set for the afternoon (and evening too)! However, try your damnedest to... more

Ah yes, the time is once again upon us that everyone insists they're practically Irish, that you should kiss them, and that they can hold their liquor just fine thankyouverymuch, so there's no better time that the present to review my favourite Dartmouth pub.

The Celtic Corner is big, bold, and all Irish, all the time baby! It's actually-in my opinion-the only bar that downtown Dartmouth can... more

OK - time to review the local drinking corner - and what a corner it is. I've been there twice in the past week and of course every time it feels like going home.

The Friday after work crowd has an amazing feel! Just sitting around munchin on nachos drinking a beer and relaxin'. The place was packed yesterday on a damp Friday in mid-February. The nachos were stacked and the beer was properly... more

The Corner is my lovely local, can't beat rolling down the hill to drink (and the walk back up the hill is made infinitely easier with gin). You will always run into people you know and your beer (or gin) always arrives promptly and with a smile.

One doesn't go to the Corner for fine cuisine, and as pub fare goes, it's reasonably priced and pretty yummy. Boyfriend almost always gets the maple... more

I seem to go here on the worst possible days - like when a conference on a Sunday takes over the joint. Having said that, the service was pretty darn good considering there wasn't a free seat to be had. My food came faster than others because I ordered what may be the fastest thing to cook - the all-day breakfast (I believe this is a part of the Sunday only brunch menu).

And my all day... more

I'm not really one of those "I Heart Dartmouth" people, but if you're going to cross the harbor you might as well hit this spot. The service is great (OK I have to say that, I know a couple people who work there) and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. If you're into Irish pubs, Celtic is definitely a place you should check out.

Best pub in downtown Dartmouth (and as Irish pubs go... beats the hell out of the Triangle in Halifax!).

Good range o' beers, nice staff, decent enough pub food and good live music. Absolutely the place to go for a low-key night out.

Great roof terrace too! The Corner rules OK.

Celtic Corner Public House

The Celtic Corner isn't exactly a pristine spot - so if you are expecting a gleaming bathroom and spotless floors look elsewhere.

However, if you want an authentic local pub vibe with decent food this is the place. Try their 'Maple Curry Chicken Pasta' - it's an excellent dish.

They also have a great selection of beers, such as Kilkenny, Guinness and Propeller.

Their rooftop patio gives you... more

Celtic Corner hits the spot if you are on the Dartmouth Side.

A great pub atmosphere, dark wood and brass, these are both traditional interiors for a pub.
Lots of beer selections and great choices on the menu. I tried the Greek Chicken Salad that Krista suggested, it was excellent. The roof top patio is a prime spot for the summer to enjoy your meal.

They do have entertainment as well on some... more

Celtic Corner can do no wrong. It has fantastic in-person dining and their catering side is just as wonderful. I've been fortunate enough to do both many times and I never leave feeling unsatisfied.

Located in downtown Dartmouth, just across from the library, it says "Irish pub" like few places do. The interior is done up with gleaming wood and brass, with both tables and booths available.... more

Celtic Corner Public House

I'm not a fan of the decor, and the path to the patio is rather sketchy, but this place makes some serious pub grub, like Steak & Guiness pie, boxty, and fish & chips. It's a great meeting place, and they often have good live music. I wouldn't make a trip to Dartmouth especially to go there, but if I'm the neighbourhood, I'd probably stop in.

Today was my first time heading into the Celtic Corner Public House and i'll definitely be back!

Highly competent service and good food and beer made this place a shoe in. I'm looking forward to checking out the rooftop patio next summer as well.

Tons of draft options!

Celtic Corner is my regular watering hole. It has a proper pub feel, the food is fantastic, and the staff are always friendly. Highly recommended!

I had a "group meeting" lunch here last week. It was only my second time in the place because I don't tend to spend a lot of time in downtown Dartmouth, and even though it's not really my kind of spot, I can see why it might have a loyal local following.

The atmosphere is pure pub, all dark wood and captain's chairs, and came complete with our sweet-but- tough-as nails waitress. I loved her!... more

Good road house PUB. Live ent. & pub grub plus of course a good bar for a few beverages!

The Celtic Corner is a terrific downtown bar and has become a true watering hole for many Dartmouthians. The bar is laid out on one floor with a separate section off to one side - presumably for larger groups, and with 4 little enclosed booths in the back, and a rooftop patio open in the summer.

The Celtic Corner offers many of the traditional items that you would find in a pub, but also... more
