For hundreds of years, oak was the traditional wood used for boat building in Lunenburg and inspired much of the wooden interior for The Knot Pub giving it its sea-shanty-esque charm. Fun fact, most of the oak you’ll see inside once formed Denyse’s father’s barn in Wentzell’s Lake. Many of the nautical brass fittings in the pub came from the Lunenburg Foundry down the street, Now that’s local building material! Once you have time to order your drinks and view their extraordinary menu items offering some- thing for just about everyone be sure to check out the copper pennies on the ceiling. This is Denyse Flower, the owner of The Knot Pub, very own design and yes, she personally put every one of them up there herself. We would not rec- ommend trying to count them.

don’t have to take my word for it as they have close to a 1000 review’s on Tripadvisor to back me up. So, if you have never been to The Knot Pub make sure it is on your foodie bucket list for 2021 for when you are exploring all that Nova Scotia has to offer. One word of caution though, if at the end of the night you happen to notice a faint outline of a lady gliding by – either you’ve had too many pints of the local craft beer that is on tap – or you’re lucky enough to have spotted the resident ghost. No one knows exactly who she is but she’s definitely friendly – just like everyone else here!

What we do recommend is regardless of what culinary delight you order, whether it is their local mussels steamed with celery, onion and Knot Pub seasoning or their ‘yummy’ fish chowder as a starter to any one of the Knot classics like their Fish & Chips, which are ‘dipped to order’ or The Knot Club, which is their take on the classic clubhouse that has a nicely season and cooked to perfection chicken breast and with delicious bacon under lettuce, tomato, onion and mozza- rella. Both Knot classics are served with heaping order of fresh cut fries, but make sure that you save room for their Peanut Butter Pie. This amazing dessert is the perfect way to finish off any meal and offers a chocolate covered, rich and creamy peanut butter lling on top of a scrump - tious cookie crust. This dessert alone is worth the drive to Lunenburg all on its own. It goes without saying that this is one of my personal favorite places to eat in all of Nova Scotia. To be honest you can’t go wrong with anything you order as everything on the menu is amazing and absolutely delicious and made from local ingredients. The staff is knowledgeable of their menu and drink offerings and are happy to make recommendations to help you get the most out of your Knot Pub experience, leaving you wanting to come back again and again.
