The Oxford



A Halifax Icon

The Oxford Theatre was a beloved icon of Quinpool Road and the North End. Watching the space go unused would have been devastating to the community that grew up with it.

The theatre opened in 1937 and quickly became a landmark and an important part of Halifax's history. From first dates and family outings to even a wedding venue, The Oxford Theatre holds fond memories for many Haligonians.

True to Its Roots

Garrison Brewing Co. President Brian Titus recognised the importance of honouring the history of the building and made it his mission to commemorate the icon when developing The Oxford Taproom.

The taproom radiates a cozy and vintage feel, featuring an eclectic mix of artifacts and decor. From the classic Triumph motorcycle to the church pew seating and hand-painted murals, The Oxford stays true to its roots.
