Very nice pub right on the Guysborough waterfront. Outside patio was pleasant.

Nicely decorated pub right on the main street of Guysborough town. Standard pub menu. Brewpub beers offered and were yummy (sampled the IPA and the Lager).

Beer and a deck

A decent selection of beers but no ciders. The deck is an excellent place to watch the Wednesday night Ceildeh. There is a nice view from the deck.

Calling it an eatery is a joke

Read all other reviews, LIMITED menu of crappy food and overpriced spirits. Go across the street to BIg G .

A nice place to spend a relaxing meal

We visit the Rare Bird during our family get-togethers in the Summer. It is a nice homey atmosphere to enjoy a relaxing meal, while resting your bones in the wonderful area. The menu is limited but the food is good, and staff arevery friendly

Great beer with a view

We sat on the deck drinking great beer made right there and was a smooth harbour. We ordered the fish and chips and they were cooked perfectly.

Highly promoted yet sadly overrated.

We were looking forward to visiting the greatly hyped town of Guysborough to sample some of the craft beer and "fine food" at the Rare Bird Brew Pub. Mid summer, the pub was completely empty except for a waitress and cook, strangely lacking ambience. We...More
