Economy Shoe Shop

A Halifax institution with a dog-friendly section of patio, great food, a quick water bowl for Tilly and prime people watching.

The short version

The Economy Shoe Shop is a well-known restaurant and bar on Argyle Street in downtown Halifax, with a sprawling patio along the street.

Tilly was welcome on one part of the patio. It was a little weird as we were the only people on that side, but the food was great, they brought Tilly a bowl of water right away, and we had a great spot to people watch. Tilly enjoyed people watching while I tucked into a nice cold pint of Keith's and a Halifax donair.
