Quidi Vidi
Quidi Vidi, also known as "The Gut", is a village within St. John's. It is one of the oldest fishing villages in the city and is absolutely beautiful! Stop and enjoy a beer on the patio of Heidi's favorite brewery - Quidi Vidi Brewery! They do a kitchen party every Friday!
Linda's (The Inn of Olde)
Stop in to say hi to Linda! She is a local legend in Quidi Vidi. Her bar contains more trinkets and memories than anywhere else in the city. We won't tell you too much about it, you just have to see it! *pro tip - bring an old piece of ID, business card, or similar to leave behind!
Kelly's Pub
The first bar Heidi brought Evan to on George Street! Also where she used to work! This is a laid back Irish pub with some of the best fish and chips in town. Stop by for a feed and a pint of India!
O’Reilly’s Irish Newfoundland Pub
If you want to experience the best newfie music, this is the place to go! O'Rielly's has live music every night of the week and is located in the center of George Street.
The Rooms
A beautiful and modern museum in downtown St. John's filled with natural and cultural Newfoundland and Labrador history. There is also an amazing view of the St. John's harbour from their cafe!
Bannerman Brewing Co.
Delicious craft beer, coffee and food!
The Adelaide Oyster House
Cool vibe and great food. Don't sleep on the lettuce wraps! And if you like some spice in your cocktail, the El Camino won't disappoint!
Water Street / Pedestrian Mall
In the summer months the street closes to traffic and opens to patios! Many local shops and restaurants to check out.
Newfoundland Chocolate Company
Yummy local chocolate! There are locations on Torbay Road as well as on Signal Hill. In the summer they have the best gelato!
Signal Hill National Historic Site
Signal Hill is a historic site in St. John's that has a beautiful hiking trail that loops from the top of the hill down to the Battery, an old fishing village at the base of the hill overlooking St. John's harbour.
Gros Morne National Park Of Canada
Gros Morne National Park is located on the west coast of Newfoundland, about a 7 hour drive from St. John's / 3 hour drive from Port Aux Basque. There are a number of hiking trails, boat tours and other outdoor activities here. It is breathtakingly beautiful! If you are travelling across the island it is a must see!
Portage
Portage is one of the best restaurants in the city. They focus on plates to share, have great cocktails and amazing wine!
The Duke Of Duckworth
Another staple Irish pub in the city, The Duke is a local watering hole with a great beer selection and cozy, yet colorful, atmosphere. A little more laid back than the pubs on George Street. The Duke is another contender for the best fish and chips in town!
