Temperance ruled our thirst for rum in the port city of Halifax from 1916 to 1929. Never stepping down from a fight, Ryan Duffy's speakeasy became the favourite of the business elite. Parties extended 'till dawn, hidden from the watchful eyes of the Nova Scotia Temperance Alliance.
A stiff drink, juicy steaks and sumptuous seafood still tempt both locals and visitors to Ryan Duffy's, now operating in the "Loyalist City" of Saint John amid fine stemware, linens and exquisite service. Almost a century later we are still a Maritime favourite!
