Best & Cool Bars in St. John's

"Chinched Bistro serves up the best in seafood and meats, with options like potato wrapped cod and Point Leamington suckling pig with cheddar grits, bacon braised greens, apricot compote and a pan-dripping vinaigrette. The menu changes seasonally. You’re bound to leave happy, so make sure this bistro is on your list when heading out to Sunday brunch."

"Turquoise walls and a gallery wall of pig-themed art sets the tone for this relaxed dining room and deli, where house-made charcuterie flies off the shelves and the happy hour’s pig ear fries are a favourite. The seasonal bistro menu is also decidedly meat-heavy with small plates like rabbit poutine and Southern-style fried chicken livers."

"Shaun Hussey and Michelle LeBlanc first opened the doors of Chinched Bistro in 2010. Skip into Chinched Bistro and you’ll find a chic bar, deli counter, petite patio and seating for 65 in a dining room split between two floors. The popular St. John’s restaurant’s interior was designed by Sam Follett of Plank Design."

"Hidden on McMurdo’s Lane between Duckworth and Water Streets, the Duke of Duckworth is an iconic watering hole that serves up some of the best pub grub in the city. Pints of Guinness and local beer flow endlessly at this small, always bustling bar, making “the Duke” everything a local should be. The fish and chips are iconic, but the huge bowls of chowder are one of the best-kept secrets in the city."

"For a taste of classic pub food head here to enjoy the cozy and traditional pub atmosphere. I’ve read in multiple places that the Duke of Duckworth serves the best plate of fish n’ chips in the province and after tasting it for myself I couldn’t argue. There have a ton of local beers on offer and plenty on tap."

"Ranked as one of the top ten best new restaurants in Canada by enRoute Magazine in 2015, Adelaide Oyster House’s tiny sliver of a dining room continues to overflow each night with friendly foodies. Chef Chris Mercer has worked at Adelaide Oyster House since shortly after its inception, starting out as an oyster shucker and line cook to taking on the role of Executive Chef. The popular restaurant in St. John’s also has a unique cocktail program, featuring some of the most talented mixologists on The Rock."

"While the Adelaide Oyster House is known for shucking the best oysters from across the continent, the reverence for its tacos is what made it one of the most popular eateries in St. John’s. The tuna taco and fish taco are worthy of your time, as are Kobe beef lettuce wraps with Japanese “mac” sauce, housemade kimchi, and rice puffs (which have been on the menu since day one). Expect a trendy ambiance: the lights are low and the music is loud, while the space is laden with dark clapboard and wood tables."

"Lottie’s is a hot mess BUT it’s one of the only places on George Street without a cover, so it’s highly recommended you do a Lottie’s Loop (a trek around the bar), purchase a White Russian, and then carry on. Probably to Trapper John’s to do a Trap Lap."

"A visit to George Street is one of the best things to do in St. John’s Newfoundland for those looking to enjoy a celebratory bar hopping bacchanal. The city’s famous bar street is located downtown and features two blocks of bars, pubs and restaurants. It’s considered the city’s entertainment district, a hub for live music fans to watch local bands jam."

"Ask anyone in St, John’s where you should get Screeched-in and they’ll tell you Christians. This quaint little pub is home to the best screech-in performance in the city!. I don’t want to give away too much but if you want more of a performance to add to the experience, this is the place to do it."

"With iconic statues of a Newfoundland dog and a Labrador Retriever, this park hosts the City of St John’s free Music at Harbourside lunchtime concert series, on Fridays at 12:30pm throughout the summer."

"Ches’s Fish & Chips is a true Newfoundland tradition, and has the best fish & chips in town - this is a locals' favorite place, and there are several locations in town. You can even get a certificate from them, stating that you ate the finest fish & chips in all of Newfoundland and Labrador!. Get your fish and chips with stuffing and gravy – trust me, you’ll be glad you did."

"Open for over 75 years now Ches’s Fish & Chips serves up some of the most delicious Fi & Chi (that’s Fish & Chips for you mainlanders) in the city. There are several locations in St. John’s and across the province, but the original is on Freshwater. Must Try: The Two Piece Fi & Chi, with dressing and gravy on your fries (trust me)."
