District 5 Bar & Grill - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

Very nice place. Partly surprised that my review will be the first for this place on TripAdvisor, and that it is unclaimed by the owner there. But partly not surprised either, because many places in Canada just don't do this kind of thing and web distribution. Too bad, because this restaurant served us excellently cooked food. We ordered Medium steak with scallops. All Dressed Fries. Lake city cider and a beer. I really liked the way the vegetables and scallops were cooked with the steak, and my wife's potatoes dish. With steak I made a slight mistake ordering it "medium". In our previous country at this level it was more cooked but that was my mistake and now I will order "well done" here in Canada instead of "medium"(advise for tourists from another countries). But objectively, for "medium" here, the meat was cooked good and tasty. Beer and cider are just beer and cider. Just normal tastes, like everywhere else.
The prices are average. The interior is nice and well-kept. I liked that they use pure ice in the drinks here, and not regular one. Yes, it is done by an ice machine, but not in every place I have seen it, so it was good point for me.
I can definitely recommend this place.

Staff was amazing. I came to watch a wing eating competition and suddenly I was in it! I lost the contest but I could not rush eating these BBQ wings. I will be back again to try brunch! PS - get the Parmesan fries!

We ordered “Turkey in a Box” for Thanksgiving Dinner. It was an absolutely amazing dinner for 7 of us! We cannot praise the chef enough for the scrumptious taste of the complete meal. We even had leftovers for our family to take home! From the bottom of our tummies, thank you so much to everyone involved at District 5 in making our first Thanksgiving in our home such a memorable experience! - Rod & Wendy & family

The food is very good. Feels like there’s attention to detail and pride in it. Huge portions too. Not really a haven for vegans and vegetarians, but there is a veggie burger. The place is clean and the staff is kind and helpful. We were there for trivia night (Tuesday), which was really well done and not overstimulating… if that makes sense.
It’s not a place to go for cozy pub decor, but it has a nice atmosphere thanks to the other great features. I’ll definitely be back.

You guys have to check out the new menu items!! Stopped in for brunch today and the new French toast is sooo good, not too heavy! You have to try the avocado toast with fresh avocado, tomatoes, greens and an amazing hummus!! The new Monte Cristo sandwich stole the show and as always the home fries are unmatched!! I will definitely be coming back for more

Downtown Dartmouth does not have many breakfast spots. I tried District 5 on Saturday for the first time, and it was so delicious!

At first the price seemed high for breakfast/brunch, but once the food came I could justify that price. The serving was large, each item was of great quality, so flavourful and cooked perfect, for my preference. This was the best breakfast I’ve had in Downtown Dartmouth!

We went twice while spending a couple of weeks in Dartmouth - first time ate there & each ordered the fish and chips - the quality and quantity were amazing. 2 good size pieces of delicious haddock perfectly cooked with a large quantity of well spiced fries, I could only finish half and had the rest for dinner the next day. The second time we ordered one dinner for takeout and that was plenty for two people and just as tasty. A nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

The best seafood chowder in N.S. Chicken wings always moist and crispy and tasty. The drinks are delicious. The price is reasonable not too expensive with good portion. Servers are friendly and super kind. The chef is so generous . Love everything from this place.
