Fresh Nova Scotia lobster rolls, mouthwatering shrimp tacos, and beautiful waterfront views. Sounds like a pretty great way to spend Thanksgiving Sunday to us! πŸ‚β€οΈ

Whether you’re taking a break from cooking or just craving some seafood, we’d love to see you!

πŸ¦ƒ Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Rope Loft!

Too cold for The Rope Loft? We might have a solution for that. πŸ˜‰πŸŽπŸΉ

A cold Bulwark c***r or a delicious cocktail might not technically warm you up, but we promise it’ll make the cooler weather a little more enjoyable. πŸ˜‚

Grab your favourite drink, enjoy the waterfront views, and make the most of the season while you still can! πŸ‚

⏰ October 25 is our LAST day open for the season! Come see us before we close up for the winter.

We serve up some pretty delicious food, but we have to give credit where credit is due… our staff might just be our best asset. πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

Great food, a waterfront view and an even better crew. We’d say that’s a pretty good combination. 🦞🍻

Come see them in action (and enjoy something delicious while you’re here).

Fall looks pretty good from here. πŸ‚βš“οΈ

Crisp air, waterfront views, good food, and a seat overlooking Chester Harbour- some things are worth soaking in for just a little longer.

Come enjoy fall by the water with us at The Rope Loft. 🀍

Turns out summoning a Nova Scotian is pretty easy… just put out a lobster roll and wait. πŸ˜‚πŸ¦ž

No calling. No texting. They’ll sense it.

Tag a Nova Scotian who would come running. πŸ‘‡

Now THIS is what we call a perfectly balanced Nova Scotian meal 🦞🍎

A lobster roll piled high with fresh Nova Scotia lobster, a side of crispy fries, a cold Bulwark c***r, and something sweet to finish it all off. 🀀

You’ve got your seafood, your fruit (c***r counts, right? πŸ˜‰), and your dessert. We see absolutely nothing missing here.

Who are you bringing to enjoy this spread? πŸ‘‡
