Firkin and Flyer

Glad to see a new restaurant at the Halifax Airport. This Firkin pub is good for quick bite or drinks. We sat in the hallway seating for drinks but moved to the bar after as there is no views to tvs in this area.. even at the bar, there are only couple tvs. This Firkin should really add some more TVs so there is something to watch while having a drink and waiting for flight.

Fast, friendly service. Restaurant is located after security. Ordered the Firkin burger with tots and would definitely recommend. Also ordered the chicken club with avocado and fries and it was great. Food came out fast and hot. Overall a great spot for dinner in the airport.

Pretty good selection of classic and seasonal pub food. A great selection of cold beers on tap and a well stocked bar to choose from. Lots of seating and at the newer part of the airport so better air conditioning.

I'd like to start this off by saying that I think the firkin & flyer is fantastic. The servers are quick and friendly, and it's a nice spot to pass time while waiting for a flight. I give the food 3 stars ONLY because the one thing I could eat off the menu was removed. I fly in and out of Halifax often for business, and will intentionally book a red eye in or an early morning out just to go to the firkin & flyer for one thing- the breakfast tacos. These were the best creation I have ever had. Perfectly portioned and light, I was saddened to arrive this morning to it having been taken off of the menu. Overall a great spot and I will still visit, but I can't eat there anymore.

Beware of the pub fave fish n chips. The fish batter was so dark I knew they were overcooked. Can’t believe they allowed them to leave the kitchen. Fries were bland. The waitress, Tracy, was very kind though and offered a new plate.

Waiting for our flight and enjoying a bite… the food was pleasantly tasty, service quick and overall great atmosphere.

During a recent trip through Halifax Airport, waiting for our flight to Toronto, we found ourselves at The Firkin and Flyer, a delightful pub and restaurant located within the airport. The convenience and ambiance of this spot were just what we needed. One of the first things we noticed was the two distinct seating areas, offering a nice choice depending on what kind of atmosphere you’re looking for. The staff at The Firkin and Flyer were exceptional, greeting us warmly and seating us promptly, which was much appreciated given our limited time. While we didn’t partake in their selection of beers, it was impressive to see the variety on offer. I opted for the lobster roll, and it was absolutely delicious - a true testament to the quality of food they serve. The service was a standout aspect of our experience. Our server was incredibly polite and attentive, making sure our brief visit was as pleasant as possible. Overall, The Firkin and Flyer is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for casual drinks and food while waiting for a flight at Halifax Airport. The combination of great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a spot I would definitely recommend and return to on future travels.

Do you know what I loved the most?! Their chairs 👌😁 omg! So comfy Delish fish & chips Yummy nachos 🤤 Friendly service (slightly slow for an airport)

Firkin and Flyer is a Bar/Grill English-style restaurant in the Halifax Stanfield airport. We were there for their dinner service. It has the standard bar fare like sandwiches, burgers, fish and chips, beers, etc. Order: - Fried Chicken Sandwich + green salad - Lobster Roll + Caesar salad - The Codfather + tatter tots - Old Fashioned Burger + Caesar salad The sandwiches and burgers were great, the cod-fish burger was fresh and flaky, the lobster was packed, the chicken was juicy, and old fashion hit the spot. All were served on soft pillow-y potato buns. The salads were a decent size, together with the burgers/sandwiches made a great dinner before the flight out of Halifax. Service was prompt and there was plenty of seating. The bar side had high stools in various table configurations of at least 2 dozen areas. The seat-down area was on the other side of the walkway and held at least 3 dozen tables. Both seating areas are open to the rest of the airport, so regular airport noise (announcements, people walking, etc.), but it is cordoned off so there isn't random patrons from other establishments sitting in the area. We were seated right away and orders were in within 15 min and the food out 15-20 min later. Definitely quick enough to get a bite in before any flight (or if you've had a delay).

This was an excellent spot to hit before or even after your flight! The summer menu had amazing food pictures that we ended up ordered all our items from it. Lobster everything! And the lobster on everything was very nice and good portions/chunks of lobster. The cold lobster roll with that fresh lettuce was one of my favourite ones from the whole trip out East! Service was exceptionally fast and the waitress understood we had a flight to catch so she didn't doodle putting in our order and clearing the bill efficiently too. And the food did come out fast which was super appreciated considering this place was packed! Added in a Nine Locks brew which was a lovely beer while we enjoyed the cool decor. I'm glad we had time to hit this place before our flight.

Got to the Halifax airport early, and this was the only sit down restaurant open at the time. There were fast food and coffee shops open, but that's not what we were looking for. I wasn't expecting much based on the reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised. They were serving breakfast only. I got "On the Dole" for $11, which was a great deal and a decent sized breakfast - 2 eggs, bacon, tater tots and multigrain toast with PB&J! Everything was yummy! Hubby got the breakfast tacos and said they were delish. Service is friendly and fast! The booths and chairs are super comfy. This is a solid breakfast choice when traveling through the Halifax airport.

Wow. What a pleasant surprise. Quality, fresh food at non-airport prices! We enjoyed the nachos, lobster roll and fish sandwich and were not disappointed! Oh yea...friendly service also!

If you're traveling out of Halifax Airport, not a bad spot to eat. They have lots of seating and it can get quite busy, but service is great. My friend and I both ordered the lobster roll with tater tots/fries and a Caesar. Decent sized portions and decent value for money, especially for something within an airport. They make the Caesar with either Maple or Habanero infused vodka (both made locally in NS) which gives it a unique spin especially if you like your Caesars spicy. Overall a good spot for a quick meal before your flight.

Great food at good value. Try the Codfather sandwich. Outstanding service from the entire staff. So nice that I forgot that I was in an airport. Jesse was an excellent server!

Food that doesn't suck and isn't grossly overpriced at an airport? This was a first for me, lol. What a pleasant surprise. I think this pub is part of the Firkin Pubs chain. My husband and I were waiting for our flight back home to Ottawa and we wanted to have something to eat and decided on the Firkin and Flyer. We both got the Lobster BLT ($20). My husband got his with kettle chips (his first choice was tater tots, but they had ran out), while I got mine with a garden salad, with the dressing on the side. I was thrilled when they brought out my plate and I saw that the garden salad was a real mesclun mix, with no iceberg or romaine in sight. Yay! It also had cucumbers and diced tomatoes. The dressing was a balsamic vinaigrette. The dressing was a bit oily, but I used just a tiny amount so it was ok. Vegetables were fresh. The Lobster BLT was delicious! It has real chunks of lobster mixed in a mayo sauce with crispy bacon slices, lettuce and tomatoes. I was so happy that the lobster sandwich did not have any fake crab filler mixed in. Yeah, I know, no self-respecting restaurant should ever serve a lobster roll with fake crab in it, but it happens all the time in Ottawa :( So $20 for a tasty lobster sandwich with a side salad with real lettuces and not "wannabee salad ingredients" like iceberg, at an airport? Wow! Service wasn't the friendliest or most attentive. I finished my water part way through the meal and placed the empty glass by the edge of the table for our server to see, and she walked by several times but did not refill it :( Her mission seemed to be to get people in and out as fast as possible. I guess in an airport environment, this is the name of the game. But whatever, I'm just glad that I didn't pay $20 for fake crab and iceberg lettuce, lol. Yeah, my expectations at airports are low, but now they have been elevated. The food and prices at the Firkin and Flyer are in line with what I would expect of a pub not in an airport. Thank you for not gouging us and not compromising on quality and quantity just because you have a captive audience at the airport (I'm looking at you, D'Arcy McGee's at the Ottawa airport!!). Thank you for being a regular Firkin Pub that just happens to be at the airport.

I got the lobster poutine, I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't bad but it wasn't that good either. It was $25, service was pleasant and fast. French fries would have been better if they were the classic potato cut fries.

wow ?!?!? I can not believe what just happens to me at this place!!!! Keeping in mind I fly semi regularly and part of my routine is to stop here and get a beer or two and enjoy a meal before I fly. I roll up to ask to be seated and was refused the right to sit in the comfortable chairs. and told because I was alone I would have to sit at the bar.....I explained I don't want to sit at the bar, not for two hours. and that there were dozens of seats open that I would prefer. was basically told too bad. so I went to the bar manager(s) and inquired. and they said the same. that they have a rotation to follow..... WTF?!?!?! F U Flyer and Firken say goodbye to my $50-$100 bucks every few weeks . The absolute worst service I've ever heard of!

This is my first experience at this restaurant at the airport and I wasn't disappointed. Service was prompt and friendly. The location was well situated after security, near the bathrooms and ahead of the gates. I had the lobster BLT and it was tasty. I'm not a huge mayo fan, so I was a bit cautious, but it was fine. Friends had the Shepherd's Pie, Salmon Bowl, and another had a burger. We are a group who has very diverse tastes and they were able to satisfy us all. When I'm though the airport again, I've already decided that I'm having the Salmon Bowl! I'd recommend giving it a try!

Meh. Nothing special for the price. Server wasn't especially friendly. Could be worse.

Located in the departures level at YHZ. Pub style with good selection of sandwiches and pub fare, beers and signature cocktails. I always get the fish and chips, and a Bloody Caesar. Friendly staff and good COVID protocols in effect.

Super busy but the crew amazingly keep up with it, big portion & pretty reasonable price for airport restaurants. Nice music too! Love it!
