About Us

Welcome to Rockhead Beer Wine Spirits, the North End's go-to spot for all things beer, wine, and liquor. Tucked inside the Windsor Street Sobeys, we're more than just a store - we're a part of Halifax history. Our name? A cheeky nod to the Halifax prison that once housed the city's rowdiest drunkards, delinquents, and lovable ruffians for over a century.

We're locally owned, proudly operated, and obsessed with bringing you a jaw-dropping selection of craft beers, specialty wines, and premium spirits. Whether you're after locally brewed gems or exotic international finds, we've got your taste buds covered. From Ready-To-Drink coolers to cider, wine, spirits, and beer, we're here to help you discover your next favorite drink. Swing by and let our passionate, knowledgeable staff find you the perfect bottle for any occasion - or just because. Cheers!
