Our Story
On April 4 th , 1974 the west end of the Truro Centre Mall sparked to life with the opening of the
original Engine Room which offered seating for 190 but no live entertainment. Patrons enjoyed their favourite beer or draft while listening to tunes provided by a D.J. The Engine Room proved to be so popular that an expansion was inevitable. Two years after
opening the doors, the birth of live entertainment took place at the Engine Room with the addition of
100 seats, a band stand and a baby grand piano. The Engine Room rocked with live entertainment
every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening as the movers and shakers of the town gathered at
“The Room” to dance ‘til they dropped. And while the dance floor was crowded, the pit provided a unique place to strike up a new friendship or renew an old one.The doors closed on the original Engine Room on Christmas Eve 1981, marking the end of an era.
But all was not lost! The Engine Room number 2 which opened February 16, 1982 may have been
smaller with its 146 seats and room for friendly stand-up patrons, but the new location at 24
Havelock street was the ideal spot for the launching of an extensive menu which featured delicious
Italian and Canadian cuisine. The combination of good food and great live entertainment meant it
was usually standing room only at the new location, which was once the home of Pharaoh’s Tavern.
The close quarters prompted a second move for The Engine Room, which returned to the Truro
Centre, but on the opposite end from which it had started. The east end of the Centre was originally
occupied by the Lincoln Pub, but at 7pm on November 17, 1986 The Engine Room re-opened with
seating for 150 and a staff of 25. In March 1993, Jim & Bernice Rowe purchased The Engine Room
Pub from Truro Center Ltd. In October 2018 The Engine Room was sold to Arden (Mimi) Woods.
The Engine Room features a wing night every Thursday followed by a Trivia. Friday and Saturday
nights feature a D.J. And popular bands such as Nowhere Road, Ruckus are also featured as well asSaturday Jam’s featuring Wild side and Shifting Gears along with friends.The management and staff of The Engine Room Pub work hard to provide good food, friendly service and great entertainment. Welcome and enjoy.
