The historic Rope Loft, known locally as the Old Wharf, is one of the oldest buildings still in commercial use in Nova Scotia, celebrating over 200 years.
In its time the solid oak building has seen fish, coal, grain and rum and more.

We love turkey as much as the next person, but who says Thanksgiving weekend has to be ALL about the turkey? 😉🦃🦞
If you’re looking to switch things up and enjoy a delicious meal with family, we’ve got just the thing!
Fresh Nova Scotia lobster rolls, mouthwatering shrimp tacos, and beautiful waterfront views. Sounds like a pretty great way to spend Thanksgiving Sunday to us! 🍂❤️
Whether you’re taking a break from cooking or just craving some seafood, we’d love to see you!
🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Rope Loft!
📍 Open daily, 11:30 AM–8 PM
🗓️ Last day of the season: October 25!
Too cold for The Rope Loft? We might have a solution for that. 😉🍎🍹
A cold Bulwark c***r or a delicious cocktail might not technically warm you up, but we promise it’ll make the cooler weather a little more enjoyable. 😂
Grab your favourite drink, enjoy the waterfront views, and make the most of the season while you still can! 🍂
⏰ October 25 is our LAST day open for the season! Come see us before we close up for the winter.

Our last day of the season is October 25, which means there’s only a few weeks left to squeeze in one more Rope Loft visit before we close up for the year.
Come enjoy your favourites, take in the waterfront views, and make the most of the season while you still can!

We serve up some pretty delicious food, but we have to give credit where credit is due… our staff might just be our best asset. 😉👏
Great food, a waterfront view and an even better crew. We’d say that’s a pretty good combination. 🦞🍻

Okay, now THIS is impressive. 😎👏
A full tray, one shoulder, a flight of stairs AND not a fry out of place? Just another day at The Rope Loft. 🍽️

Fall looks pretty good from here. 🍂⚓️
Crisp air, waterfront views, good food, and a seat overlooking Chester Harbour- some things are worth soaking in for just a little longer.
Come enjoy fall by the water with us at The Rope Loft. 🤍

Turns out summoning a Nova Scotian is pretty easy… just put out a lobster roll and wait. 😂🦞
No calling. No texting. They’ll sense it.
Tag a Nova Scotian who would come running. 👇

Now THIS is what we call a perfectly balanced Nova Scotian meal 🦞🍎
A lobster roll piled high with fresh Nova Scotia lobster, a side of crispy fries, a cold Bulwark c***r, and something sweet to finish it all off. 🤤
You’ve got your seafood, your fruit (c***r counts, right? 😉), and your dessert. We see absolutely nothing missing here.
