Top Clubs in St. John's, Canada

Would be 5 stars across the board, except for the gravy. Best fish I've had this trip 👍👌

This restaurant has some of the best fish and chips I've ever had. They're so delicious.
The service is quite good and friendly! And the location is so cool! The only downside to this otherwise perfect visit, is that the portion sizes have shrunk a lot.

I went to this place during my first visit to NL. I loved the fish and chips there. The fries were so fresh. I had it with dressing and gravy. Highly recommended 👍

Stowed away at the juxtapose of Duckworth Street and McMurdo's Lane, The Duke of Duckworth is a famous haunt, and I knew not how famous until I read rave reviews about its fish and chips and its exclusive use in the local show, Republic of Doyle.
Fame apart, the Fish and Chips lived up to its hype, the fish almost melting in your mouth. We also tried honey garlic wings, which was done pretty well too. Didn't get to try the booze, will update once we go back!
Prices are on the higher side though, buoyed by the hype, I believe?
The atmosphere is quaint and refined, like polished old wood. Retro music plays in phases and completes the vibe. There's a few slot machines and a billiard board around. When we went at afternoon, the place wasn't crowded at all.
They always have some specials on offer, up on display right where you enter from. Service is prompt and good, albeit due to the low occupancy, I believe. The waiter made us a fair recommendation about what to try at the Duke's, since we went there for the first time.
Will go again!

A cool pub with slot machines and interesting esoteric decor. A great place to grab a local pint and the fish and chips are some of the best I've had in Newfoundland.

Ate here on the recommendation of our St. John's Walking Tours guide, who told us this is the best place in the city to eat fish and chips. Although I cannot say if this is true, I can confirm that my family loved the fish and chips here. In particular, my son--who adores fried fish--told me that Duke's served the best fish and chips during our 1 1/2 week long trip in Newfoundland.

The Duke is a really authentic irish pub located a few blocks from the local action on Water/George. We stopped in for dinner and drinks on Sunday night. Our server was friendly and patient with our questions and we got to know her as the night went on. The pub itself has great ambience and decor and the bartender was also friendly.

We ordered a caesar and a pint of Murphy's stout, both really good. We shared the chowder, a piece of fish, and the hot turkey sandwich. The chowder was chock full of cod and has a lovely, herby cream base. The fish was probably the best we tasted in NL after having sampled 5 other places; not greasy at all, light and crispy batter, moist and meaty cod. They win this round for sure. The turkey in the turkey sandwich was tasty and moist, but that was all that was between the bread. The bread was smothered in the gravy so it all got a bit homogenous. The fries were good, but again you have to be a fan of soggy fries to enjoy. The dressing did not add anything, and I'm confused by this local menu choice.

Note that the kitchen is only open till 8pm, so plan ahead. I'm glad we did!

In town for work and needed a place to eat/unwind after a lengthy layover in Halifax. So went on a recommendation from a buddy. The place was used for Republic of Doyle for sone of the bar scenes so it was cool to be in a pub used for a show. Menu was decent and since I can’t have fish I went with the traditional club.
Delicious.
Also I had a local pint and it was great. Don’t remember which one but I enjoyed my meal and drink.
It was also cheap drafts so when we got there the place was packed but eventually it emptied out quickly when the happy hour was over.
Place could use sone better lighting and seating but when you’re at the bar it doesn’t matter. Great chats with the servers/bartender.
