The Rope Loft in Chester, Lunenburg County, Canada | Restaurant

The historic Rope Loft, known locally as the Old Wharf, has been a landmark in Chester for nearly two hundred years and is one of the oldest buildings still in commercial use in Nova Scotia. In its time the solid oak building has seen fish, coal, grain and rum; privateers and pleasure craft, honest trading schooners & perhaps some landings unrecorded in local customs house.
The building was constructed using the remnants of the famed privateer ship "Teaser", which burned and sank in the waters of Mahone Bay. With loving care the hand -hewn beams have been spruced up, both inside and out, leaving the old character of the building unchanged.
You have a choice of dining areas, downstairs in the pub, upstairs in the smoke-free dining room or outside on our decks by the water. The atmosphere at The Rope Loft is casual, friendly & extremely relaxing! We look forward to serving you!
