Historique

Fondé en 1749.

On July 17^th, 1749, Governor Cornwallis granted a license to sell beer and liquor to a Mr. John Shippey. This was the first liquor license to be issued in New Scotland (now Nova Scotia).

John Shippey named his tavern ‘The Spread Eagle’, as its sign was taken from the German coat of arms — The Double Eagle. Shortly after opening, the tavern became affectionately known as ‘The Split Crow’.

John Shippey’s ‘Split Crow’, located at the southwest corner of Salter and Water Street, quickly became a second home for sailors, mariners and travelers.

More than 250 years later, although in a different location, the Halifax-​based Split Crow continues to proudly serve mariners and travelers from around the world and nearby.. . The tradition continues.
