His former place of residence is now the location of the original Gahan House in Charlottetown, P.E. To share our award-winning ales with more of Atlantic Canada, we opened our doors and our taps in Halifax, N.S., Fredericton, Saint John, and Moncton, N.BWe began as a brewpub, and we stay true to our beginnings by having a brew system in-house, ensuring that the beer we serve is as fresh as possible.

We had a pretty good meal. We only had 4 appetizers which is often what my husband and I like to do. We had the mussels which were plentiful and awesome. We had the crispy rice tuna tataki which was also very tasty as were the sticky ribs. My only complaint was the crispy duck bao buns. I know it was supposed to be crispy but we found it to be so overdone and dry. I had to add extra hoisin to make it a bit more palatable. I have had duck bao buns before and they were much better than these. The meat was like tiny shreds of dried out meat. We watched food being delivered around us and everything else looked terrific.

The service was fast and the food was excellent. We loved the Mamma Mia themed menu - especially as we had Neptune tickets following our visit to the Gahan House. We had the steak sandwich and the hot lobster dip - and both were very tasty!
