Housed in The Lower Deck’s historic warehouse, Beer Market swaddles visitors in an 1800s tavern atmosphere while filling stomachs with selections from a menu of traditional and upscale Nova Scotian fare. Open meals with savoury appetizers such as panko-crusted wild mushroom risotto cakes or the Beer Market nachos, a mountain of peppers, onions, and mixed cheeses dotted with peaks of salsa and sour cream. A main course of bacon-wrapped pork tenderloins bathed in bacon pommery demi-cream emanates pleasant scents as it rests on plates or travels through the air toward the centre of a dartboard. A Montreal Monster burger smothering a beef patty in lean smoked meat, egg, and house-made pickles, meanwhile, unites disparate ingredients in a symphony of hunger quenching. At the end of the meal, desserts such as triple-chocolate banana cheesecake interrupt any remaining taste bud squabbles like diligent deus ex machinas.
While not included in this deal, an array of Alexander Keith’s and other draught beers can be sipped to coax down bites, much like Olympic trainers coaxing athletes in their first time down a luge. Bare, rustic wood tables serve as hubs around which revellers congregate between exposed-brick warehouse walls that glow in the light of flat-screen TVs. The eatery and drinkery’s cushioned booths, built into thick timber, encourage jumping for joy or whimsically wiggling one’s posterior to the rhythm of the room’s chatter. Beer Market also hosts DJ sets every Friday through Sunday.
