Entertainment in Newfoundland & Labrador

  1. A

    Duke of Duckworth

    Duke of Duckworth 'The Duke,' as it's known, is an unpretentious English-style pub that represents all that's great about Newfoundland and Newfoundlanders. Stop in on a Friday night, and you'll see a mix of blue-collar, white-collar, young, old, even band members from Great Big Sea plunked down on the well-worn, red-velour bar stools. The kitchen cooks the ultimate in chicken pot pie, fish cakes and other comfort foods, and 14 beers (including the local Quidi Vidi) flow through the taps.

    It's no wonder there are locals out there racking up around C$1000 tabs every few months.

    Trapper John's Museum & Pub

    It's not the most polished pub in town, but it sure is the most fun place to become an Honorary Newfoundlander, which happens after you kiss Stubby the Puffin (a variation on the usual codfish). The animal traps enshrined throughout grant the 'museum' status.

    Ship Pub

    Attitudes and ages are checked at the door of this little pub, tucked down Solomon's Lane. You'll hear everything from jazz to indie, and even the odd poetry reading.

    Resource Centre for the Arts

    The center sponsors theater, dance and visual art by Newfoundland artists, all of which is staged downtown in the former longshoremen's union hall (aka LSPU Hall).

    Zone

    This is the premier gay dance bar in Newfoundland, but if you're straight, you are equally welcome to soak up the fun energy. It is located above Hava Java.
