Welcome to The Halifax Club
The Halifax Club was founded in 1862 as Halifax’s first private social club for business and political leaders. Located on Hollis Street in the heart of downtown Halifax, the Club has survived economic upheavals, urban renewal and the Halifax explosion. Now respectfully refurbished and renewed, the Club is proudly female owned and operated. It is a thriving second home for members, an outstanding place for business or meeting space bookings, and a multi-award winning venue for weddings and events.
The Halifax Club offers fine dining options for our members daily, as well the finest selections with our in-house catering services. We continuously offer a variety of social events and networking activities for both our members and for the public. It is a place for all to unwind and relax in elegant comfort with fellow guests and will always provide you with a lush and luxury experience.

Our Team
General Manager & Wedding Coordinator
Meaghan MacDonald
“I’ve been with The Halifax Club since 2021 and immediately knew I would be staying put. With an extensive background in hospitality, the Club has allowed me to fulfill my passions and execute them daily. I pour my heart and soul into being fully committed to my clients — to offer an experience that is truly unmatched. The bond we build is something I evidently cherish with everyone I have the privilege of working with.
Since being with The Halifax Club, we have made many achievements and have now become a top multi-award winning Venue in Atlantic Canada. I consider myself very fortunate to make history here & work alongside such a talented team. I can say with confidence that we are simply the best at what we do. We continue to excel beyond expectations to set a new standard in the industry and offer more hard work and East Coast hospitality than any other event venue in the city.“

”Connecting with people is what truly makes me happy. Being in this role has allowed me to meet so many people - you never know who's going to walk through our doors each day. We have spent a lot of time restructuring and creating different membership tiers so there's something to offer for everyone. It has made a great change in the dynamic of the Club and allowed us to open Club doors to members we might not have seen in the past. We are always looking into new options and offerings for our members.
I've taken a lot of time to deep-dive into the Club's unique history and there has been a lot of changes since it opened 162 years ago. Knowing that the incredible team I'm a part of is included in that history is so neat to think about!”
Executive Chef
Jeffrey Davison
“From a young age I always wanted to be a Chef. I have been in various Halifax kitchens since I was young — working in delis, bistros, food trucks, restaurants and each has added a different skill to my cooking and my experience. I have always been passionate about sharing food with others. Making food for someone is a show of care. To create something that brings joy and happiness, to add to someone's evening, or experience in such a positive way — that’s why I do it and that’s why I love it so much.
As the Executive Chef of The Halifax Club for the past year, I have had the privilege to share my passion of food with the members, guests and clients of the Club. I love what I do, where I do it and the people I do it with. I am very proud of the work our team does and I am very excited to keep elevating the experiences we offer at the Club.”
“We had the most amazing day & it was all because of Meaghan & her amazing team. The venue was beautiful, the service spectacular & the food was delicious. Meaghan was so helpful from beginning to end, I wouldn’t have been able to do any of it without her. She made everything so easy & seamless, the day exceeded my expectations. We are so happy that we chose the Halifax Club for our special day. ”

“My husband & I held a large welcome party the night before our wedding at The Halifax Club. Meaghan was so easy to coordinate with leading up to the event on the logistics, décor, food & drinks. The event was executed perfectly with no issues and the food was delicious.”
