Field Guide
Restaurant and Cocktail Bar in Halifax, NS
Field Guide is a Halifax based restaurant dedicated to bridging the gap between diners and their food through passionate service and an open concept kitchen.
We’re here to share that Field Guide’s last day of service will be Wednesday, April 29.
Ceilidh opened Field Guide at 24 with her then business partner, Dan 13 years ago. There was no clear plan at the time; no defined timeline, just the desire to build something.
In 2020, Katie joined the business. We were already best friends and becoming partners in this project has been one of the greatest joys of this experience.
A decision like this is never made lightly. This restaurant is deeply intertwined with both of our identities and it’s emotional to come to the end of this chapter, but we’re looking forward to a new era for ourselves.
None of this would have been possible without the people who have been part of Field Guide over the years. The many talented individuals who helped shape this place, our current team who are navigating this final stretch with us, and of course our guests. We have so much respect and gratitude for all of you.
We also want to acknowledge how challenging this industry continues to be and encourage everyone to support the incredible independent restaurants and hospitality talent in Halifax however you can.
If Field Guide has ever meant something to you or holds a special memory, we’d love to see you before we close. Come raise a glass, share a snack, and spend a little time with us.
Our final services will run from today, Thursday, April 23 through Sunday, as well as Tuesday, April 28 and Wednesday, April 29. We’ll be open from 5–11pm each night. Reservations are encouraged, walk-ins welcomed as space allows.
Thank you for everything.

WE’RE HIRING A LEAD BARTENDER
Lead Bartender at FG means a few things:
– 4-5 service shifts each week (definitely weekend nights)
– Overseeing ordering and prep
– R&D on features and seasonal menu flips (in collaboration with other bar team members)
It’s a leadership role on a small team; working closely with–and reporting directly to–ownership.
We have great regulars, are known as a hot date spot, and our longevity as a business speaks for itself. We aim to be down-to-earth, forward-thinking, and consistent. Our menus have always been seasonally-driven and we love to switch it up.
This role is full-time and we’re looking for someone who wants to root down for a bit. Relevant bartending experience is a must and some experience developing your own cocktails (could be in a casual context!) is ideal.
Wage will be commensurate with your experience and skill level. The role starts ASAP.
If you’re wondering if this might be the right fit or career move for you, email us your resume at [email protected] and tell us a little bit about yourself.
Our DMs are open if you have any questions!

Our hours have adjusted back to reflect the season as well:
Tuesday-Sunday, 4-11 with daily happy hour(s) from 4-6 which is when you can find tacos and bao if you’ve got a craving.
Okay that’s it for now! xoxoxo 🙂
