21 Best Pubs near St. Johns

“Ok where to start! We asked to do a group booking for our minor baseball team. This lovely establishment helped us with a pre order menu and booking, and then when we showed up they had a whole area reserved for not only our team, but families as well! The service was top notch and extraordinarily efficient for such a large group. Special thanks to Brenda for helping with the booking, Aidan and staff for the impeccable St. John’s welcome to this group from Alberta. Sorry I wish I had more names, everyone was so amazing. The live band also amazing. And the food…. So so good! Thank you so much for the hospitality.“

“Had a couple nights at the Embassy while in St.John’s. Great spot!! Staff was awesome and friendly, while somewhat “saucy” (Joe and Tracy)! 😂 Locals were fun and made me feel like part of the group (Ally, Chris & Jeff, who talks too much)!! Local talent was awesome and can definitely sing and play to keep everyone entertained!! I will be back!!“

“We just had the pleasure of dining at The post Taphouse this evening, New Year’s Eve. The decor was so cozy and intimate, music at just the right volume to allow conversation, server was friendly and very professional. The food…can’t say enough good about it. Fabulous! Nowhere in St. John’s area tonight could food be any better! Compliments to the chef and staff! Thank you for a memorable experience!“

“Food was delicious, hot and plentiful. The service was amazing. The place was fairly busy so we expected to wait, but we were seated with drinks and order placed within 10 minutes. Our order was taken promptly and food arrived in a very timely manner. Our server, Amira, was awesome, so friendly and attentive. The lady deserves every penny she makes!“

“Sat on the patio since my dog was with us and substituted the beet salad as my side. Best meal during my entire vacation which included a handful of more exclusive establishments. The salad was phenomenal and the fish excellent. My friend also was very pleased. Our server was attentive and of course brought water for my pup. Glad we stumbled upon this place!“

“Got screeched in at Trapper John’s and would totally recommend! Bobby the bartender was a great oath taker, and had us laughing from start to finish! It was a nice way to end an epic Newfoundland trip!

This place is cheaper than the other places on George street, and we did not need a reservation. Some places apparently charge a higher cost for walk ins, so be careful.“

“Food was great and well priced. Plenty of seating available and a good height for adults and kids alike. Staff were great, friendly and helpful and interacted with the kids too with high fives and smiles. Special shout out to Priya for making the experience great. I recommend the moose burger and also fish and chips. Went down well with an iceberg beer. Highly recommended.“

“walk in a total stranger but leave as an old mate. just a fantastic place with awesome food and tons of character. (and characters)“

“I've been going to Lottie's every time I've been to Newfoundland for the past 20 years. Nothing says 'I've arrived' on George Street like a White Russian in a plastic cup! Beyond friendly service, and everyone having a great time. This bar is most definitely a stand out, and worth it just to even chat with the bartenders (assuming it's not past 10 pm on Thu / Fri / Sat). A must-visit.“
