Alcoholic adventures: where to get your drank on
Halifax may be known for its drinking scene, but there’s no reason to confine your aperitif imbibing to a dorm room or a urine-scented bar.

Halifax may be known for its drinking scene, but there’s no reason to confine your aperitif imbibing to a dorm room or a urine-scented bar. Throw caution to the wind and find your own secret nook in which to sip the night (or day) away.
- Try some rye inside a rhododendron bush at one of HRM’s many public parks. Sneak inside the monstrous and camouflaging rhodo in the Public Gardens (Spring Garden and South Park), or hide behind one of Point Pleasant’s fallen trees (5718 Point Pleasant Drive).
- Drinking and drawing is far safer than drinking and driving. Spend the evening at Draw Nudes with Local Dudes (Khyber Centre for the Arts – 1588 Barrington) to improve your artistic skills—and your buzz.
- Be classy and take a wine tour of the Annapolis Valley. About an hour away from the city, the Valley boasts most of the N.S. wine production industry. Enlist your straight-edge friend as DD or hop aboard a Halifax departing tour through Go North Tours.
