We have valued and appreciated your patronage for 5 years, however we have made the difficult, and necessary decision to close Hart & Thistle Gastropub & Brewery effective February 19, 2014.
As long time supporters of local and independent business, we will continue to cheer on the city of Halifax and fellow members of the food service industry from the sidelines.
Many reasons have lead us to this decision, however with the bulk of our business occurring inside the short summer season, coupled with large growth of independent restaurants in greater HRM, we ultimately noticed an impact to our bottom line that we could not overcome.
Much gratitude is extended to our dedicated management and crew, along with our family of suppliers.
Sincerely
Bruce Keith
Owner/Operator
