The Loose Cannon

Cheers to Halifax's best whisky bars

The decor at this Argyle St. watering hole is solidly traditional, with plenty of wood, dark accents and comfortably dim lighting. The attraction here isn't the surroundings, but the glorious collection of – what else? – single malts. There are 70 on the list, ranging from Jura's peat-heavy Prophecy to Bruichladdich's unconventional and highly drinkable modern malts. If you're in the mood to compare and contrast, order a flight of four half-ounce pours from the pub's broad selection.
