Henry House Review

Eastern Canada's first brewpub is housed in an austere building on the far western reaches of Barrington Street, down near the youth hostel. The starkly handsome 1834 stone building in which it's housed has a medium-fancy dining room upstairs with red tablecloths and captains' chairs, plus a pub downstairs that's more informal (and louder). You can order off the same menu at either spot, and the food's mostly what you'd expect at a brewpub, though better-tasting. Entrees could include beer-battered fish, salmon, steak sandwiches, a smoked-salmon club sandwich, burgers, beef-and-beer stew, fish cakes with beans, or a chicken-and-leek pie. The half-dozen locally brewed beers here are fresh and good, as is the black-and-tan and amber-and-tan.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
