Rare Bird Pub

Guysborough County in Nova Scotia is the home to a lot of Germans, including seasonal visitors as well as permanent residents. There are three German families on the point where our cabin is located. One of them (our next door neighbor) invested heavily in the town of Guysborough, which lies on the other side of the harbor from us.

The pub was a defunct general store, refurbished and outfitted as a microbrewery, pub, restaurant and musical outlet. It quickly caught on in an area of Canada that loves music.

As you can see, the interior is beautiful. Lots of seating downstairs, as well as on the side patio or rear deck. In fact, it was on that deck in 2006 that Lee and I were lamenting our inability to find a small vacation home, when a family of Germans at the next table took up our case and introduced us to the cabin we now own. We have a lot of fond memories here.
