When we dreamed of opening a neighbourhood pub we imagined a place that would feel like a home away from home.  A public place to chill out and enjoy some down time with friends & family or all on your own.  Every square inch of the Millstone Public House has a pinch of character and offers a gentle nod to the importance of play.  Yes, we love sports, but we also love the way people come together around them.  Whether lacing up or cheering from the stands we all have a connection to the game.  It’s about having fun and doing something just for the joy of it.  It’s time off the devices and we love it!  We see the pub as an extension of that; a great part of a day well spent.

We designed the bar top to be a spot where the rising of the glass or the raising of the eyebrow would be seen as a moment to savour the good stuff of life.  Our food is crafted with fresh ingredients and made by a team that understand how to bring the natural flavours out in all their intended fullness.  The drinks are well chilled and poured by a bartender who  loves what they do.  Wait staff are selected not only for their experience and skill, but for their capacity to make people feel welcome.  It’s been such fun to build our little family and we are deeply proud of the work they do everyday.  They invite you to ‘come as you are’ and hope that you’ll stay a while.

No, we are not perfect.  But, we genuinely aspire to being your spot, and we’ll do everything we can to make the Millstone your go to Public House!

After proudly serving this great community for just over a year and a half it must be said that we love what we do.  When we began to dream about the Millstone, back in the fall of 2015, we imagined a place that would welcome everyone and make lone diners and groups of 30 feel at home in our Public House.  The softness of the leather booths, the roughness of the antique rowing paddles, the smoothness of the 300 year old bar top….it’s all meant to give our valued customers a sense of calm and a pinch of nostalgia.  The muted sports theme is a call to remember what it means to play and an invitation to do it again.

We are very happy to announce that we have been offered the chance to breathe life into another Millstone Public House, this one in Bedford.  Cindy Toner and Jason Plotsky, owners of the new Sante Centre, dined with their young family at our pub back in the spring of this year.  They loved it, they felt it…they got it and something inspired them to ask if we would be interested in developing the last vacant space in their building.  Humbled by their offer, we began to imagine another labour of love coming together across the water.  It felt both exciting and daunting but once again the faces staring out from our antique sports photos said ‘do it, you are here but once”.  We leaned in and said yes.

From that moment to this one we’ve been hard at work pulling it all together.  It must be warm, welcoming and inspiring.  The food must comfort and wow our guests.  From paint colours, to unique decorations and the padding in the chairs, it’s all been carefully considered to invite our new friends to dine with us.  We are grateful for the chance and excited at what’s to come!

The official grand opening is scheduled for November 18th and will be celebrated in style by the entire Sante building.  Our doors are likely to crack open before then though.  Like proud parents, we can’t wait to introduce our new baby.  Stay tuned here for details.

To everyone who has raised a glass at the bar, a burger at a table and an eyebrow in conversation at the Millstone Public House we want to  take a moment to sincerely thank you for inviting us into your lives and giving us this chance to do what we love to do!  Cheers to many more…

Sincerely,

Adam and Joanne

The joy of a great bottle of wine can not be overstated.  For centuries we have uncorked to the good times and the bad and savoured the sweet warmth of fermented grapes in the belly.  It is said that the first evidence of wine production was found in Armenia back in 4100 BC and went on as a major contributor to the colonization of the world.

Italy and France battle it out for top spot on the wine production list, with Spain and the United States taking 3rd and 4th place.  China is a surprising find on the list, coming in seventh place with 1.4 million tonnes produced annually though it is unlikely that you have ever tried a Chinese wine as very little of it is exported.  Canadian wine production, which comprises only 0.5% of the global market,  is on the rise but predominantly from British Columbia and Ontario.  While we are making much more Canadian wine, as a country we consume only 50% local which makes us one of the few wine producing countries where domestic consumption doesn’t hold dominant share  *wikipedia 

We are a proud Nova Scotia business and are happily building great relationships with other local businesses in the region.  Many of our wines come from Bishops Cellar, a beautiful wine, beer and spirits merchant tucked away on Halifax’s waterfront.  We applaud their effort to promote not only the Canadian wine industry but the burgeoning Nova Scotia wine industry as well.

A devout supporter of Nova Scotia’s farm wineries and micro-brewers, Bishop’s Cellar takes great pride in working with our local partners to further promote their products and respective industries. 

On special this month at the Millstone Public House is the refreshingly crisp, slightly bubbly Nova 7 by Benjamin Bridge. It is the perfect wine to enjoy on a hot summer day with floral notes, light pink colour and the hint of fizz that makes it feel decadent.

We hope you’ll stop by for a great meal and uncork a bottle of Nova 7 to let yourself let go for a while.  Summer is short, but the days are long and made for relaxing.
