Peter Easton Reviews
Great bar to go have few beer
Great people and cold beer. Great entertainment several nights of the week.
I found the place warm and friendly. Staff and patrons open to stimulating conversation. Met the owner Conan Coates and he was a delightful man to chat with on various topics. And the best open mic music experience I’ve experienced hosted by Matthew. It also has a library study area with books you can borrow or you can sit and read. Love the place.

Peter Easton is a classic ‘neighborhood bar’ just outside of the downtown hub in St. John’s. It offers a chill, fun atmosphere, perfect for enjoying live music. The venue can sometimes feel like a unique coming together of different worlds, with rowdy regulars in the main bar and philosophy lectures in one room.
For traditional music enthusiasts, the Trad Music Night on Saturdays is a must-visit. The event features a jam session with talented musicians playing a variety of instruments, including fiddle, tin pipes, accordion, concertina, lute, and guitar. The song selection is done in a circle, with each musician calling out a tune. The atmosphere is lively, with everyone enjoying stouts and the infectious energy of the traditional Jiggs, Reels, and Waltz. It’s a great place for those who want to get ‘screeched in’ by a local musician. The beer is cheap and the conversation with locals is fun. The entrance, a single steel door in a blank wall, is pretty intimidating but inside there is a warm welcome. Saturday night is open mic/folk night, very chill and a lot of fun. There is also a good karaoke and band night.
The cash-only bar has a good local mugger, while the staff ensures excellent customer service, making everyone feel at ease. Despite the casual ambiance, the pub does NOT need an update; it maintains an authentic East Coast pub experience with story and history. It is a great place to have a few drinks with the locals and share great stories and laughs. The VLT's were also available. Overall, Peter Easton offers a one-of-a-kind experience, blending diverse elements and catering to both locals and visitors who appreciate the charm and character of the venue.
