    We popped along from our cruise ship. The pub was busy but we got a warm welcome. We had a fabulous time doing the screeching ceremony. We learned a lot about the traditions. Everyone who visits St John’s should go to this bar. I was smiling all the way back to the ship. Maybe that was the rum 🥰

    We went in a couple of times and really enjoyed having a beer while listening to local musicians. It just felt like the real thing. We only wished it was busier....it was a shame that more people were not listening to the music.

    Was walking by and got caught by the music coming from Erin's. There were about 8 local musicians playing Irish traditional songs. Really fantastic. Stayed for over an hour - very unexpected.
    Check it out - never know what you will hear!

    I like this place very much. Good live music, some DJ's downstairs. Place for young and old. Nice crowd. Ideal for some weekend fun.

    Mike (the karaoke emcee) is one of the friendliest folks you'll ever meet in a bar. If you're ever in the area, swing on by Saturday night and sing some karaoke with your buds. You won't regret it!

    Went here for a bachelor party. $2 drinks, you can't beat it. Awesome atmosphere, even though it was a quiet night. Would gladly return.

    Chrissy the owner, and her girls, Rita, Rose and Gilda made our nights (and days lol) out a whole lot of fun. The music was great. Open mic night, karaoke night. They sang some newfoundland songs for us and we danced the night away.. The "regulars" are all nice and fun people as well, even Riley the dog. I was the first screech-in and it was honour. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay and my screech-in was unforgettable. Thanks to all of you lovely ladies for everything. Love Michelle and Trudy

    This bar is located underneath the Bella Vista. They regularly hold poker games and other events! The bartenders are great and super friendly! Great service. This bar seems to have a lot of regulars which is awesome!

    We wanted to hear some live music so we wandered around for a bit and stumbled upon this place. While waiting for the band, there was a guy up doing a one-man show. It was not enjoyable. Maybe I just didn't understand his music. The main band, Jigger and the Sea Dogs I believe had a decent sound but was way too loud for the tiny venue and all the sound got muddied up. We didn't stick around long. I would like to hear that band in an outside venue or at least a much larger one.

    This was one of the stops for my bachelorette party and I was beyond disappointed. Another patron made a blatantly homophobic remark to one of my friends, and rather than cause a scene, I asked one of the bouncers to ask him to leave. After consulting with his manager, he simply told the person not to do it again. We were baffled and told them that our group of 10 would leave instead, but they still refused to do anything about it. We left and told several other groups to do the same. In that moment your establishment supported homophobia. Incredibly disappointed. Welcome to 2023 - do better next time.
