Barrington Steakhouse and Oyster Bar is first Halifax restaurant to launch a Legacy Room

Nov 02, 2017

At Barrington Steakhouse and Oyster Bar in downtown Halifax, there’s an elegant, private room tucked off to the side where a dozen people can sit down and share a meal and conversation.

The restaurant’s co-owner hopes that, as of Monday, that room — called a Legacy Room — will become a place that creates awareness and healing after Canada’s long history of injustices against Indigenous people.

“It’ll just provide a safe space for people to come in and talk about whatever they need to,” said Sam Murphy.
