Chainyard! Their Wednesday Bingo nights are such a fun time. And it's free! You just have to start a tab. We still haven't won a bingo yet, but we are determined to.

A Halifamous guide Published Updated
Halifax folk/pop sister duo Moira & Claire have been releasing music for almost a decade — and singing together for even longer. They've grown into one of Atlantic Canada's most impressive acts, producing genuinely world-class pop folk that is starting to garner attention well beyond the region. Joining them are Postfun, Halifax rockers and kindred spirits, here to celebrate a brand new collaboration. We asked them both to share what they love about our city — and it turns out they agree on quite a lot.
Agricola street! It has some of our favourite bars, thrift stores, cafés, and cool shops. We like it so much it's the opening line of our new song.
Bar
An all-in-one stop for us. Ping-pong, Jazz nights, cool decor, Guinness and Horsepower on tap, and you're always bound to run into a pal when headed there.
Bar
Honourable mention from Postfun.

Honourable mention from Postfun — and their steak and Guinness pie is a must. Mmmm.

We loveeeee idialedurnumber. They are absolutely killing it in the Halifax scene and beyond. Their live set pulls you in, and leaves you wanting more. Such a great group of people making and playing sick music.

Work Spot
It's our go-to spot for last minute grant-writing. It's open late! And they make a mean London Fog.
Work Spot
No better spot to spend all your savings on fancy coffee, and lock in upstairs with some headphones in. Staff are the freaking best, and having the Garrison drinks on tap, it makes for a great band meeting zone, morning or night.

Moira & Claire: Agricola street! It has some of our favourite bars, thrift stores, cafés, and cool shops. We like it so much it's the opening line of our new song, something (anything).
Postfun: Agricola Street for sure! Great street to walk the dog on. Lots of great bars, food spots, cafe's and a hub for creative folks. We recorded our last record on Agricola street with Braden Kamermans, and we try and bring the house down at Gus' Pub as often as we can. The street has meant a lot to us for quite some time. Echoing Moira & Claire, we love it so much we wrote a song about it!

Festival
NSMW
It's one of our favourite events of the year, and it's in Yarmouth this time. We love discovering new music, making new friends, and hanging with our pals. October 23-27!
Community Event
On Postfun's radar this season.
Shop
It's super close to our place. Moira found her favourite sweater there, and Claire loves looking at all the trinkets and vintage photographs.
Cafe
Catch our man Mackenzie there and ask him to serve ya up a latte made with love.
Venue
Our fav venue has gotta be Gus' Pub. It feels like home. The staff are all close pals of ours and every show we have there is always a welcoming and inclusive environment.
