This looks like a fun place to come into until our server treated us like dirt. We came in for at least cocktails and possibly dinner, but the server basically threw the menus at us and walked away. Didn’t offer us water, didn’t tell us about happy hour specials or anything. We got up and walked out.

We were so happy to find Stardust Bar + Kitchen while visiting Halifax. We were looking for a fun LGBTQ+ spot, and it just so happened that they had a drag brunch happening the day we were in town. Even though it was sold out, the staff were so kind and accommodating and were able to make a spot for us. We really appreciated the effort, and it made our visit feel extra special. The atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and full of energy. We had such a great time and are so glad we got to experience it while we were in Halifax. Thanks again!

We came here for a drag brunch during a quick stop on our cruise. The service was amazing, the queens were entertaining and funny and the bar was amazing. If you are on fence about coming here make it a point to stop by and support this queer business.
