Halifax New Rum Bar

Block N Tackle isn’t just a bar—it’s a celebration of Nova Scotia’s rich rum-running heritage and the proud home of James Roue Beverage Company. Nestled on the coast where maritime history runs deep, our space pays tribute to the daring seafarers who braved the Atlantic to bring spirits to shore. Today, we carry that legacy forward by offering an experience that blends craftsmanship, storytelling, and community.

At the heart of Block N Tackle is a curated selection of James Roue Beverage Company spirits, from bold rums to small-batch liqueurs, beers and wines. Every bottle is a reflection of our coastal roots—crafted with care, bottled with pride, and poured to be shared. Our cocktail program draws inspiration from both classic recipes and modern riffs, anchored by our signature “Block & Tackle” cocktail, a tribute to the seafaring spirit of the Bluenose II.
