Boasting a formal dining experience like no other in the city, The Press Gang features an extensive menu with a rich array of exquisite seafood, meat, game, and poultry dishes to satisfy every palate.

The Press Gang Restaurant & Oyster Bar is home to one of Nova Scotia's most extensive scotch selections, with over 100 single malts on hand to enjoy. Manager Milan Vechter suggests, "Single Malt Scotch is like a metaphor for The Press Gang - it gets better with age."
