When it was our turn to be seated I kid you not, we had a table in the gift shop area, I definitely asked to be reseated and she looked at like I was crazy. She went on break or something and this other waiter moved us to an awesome table outside, easy, salvaged, loved the beer and the food! Views were spectacular. It is in areas like this that I am shocked places don't open another spot, or maybe like a locals only annex.

The vibes alone are worth the trip, but add in great service and even better beer, and this place is a must! We grabbed some food and the spinach & artichoke dip was cheesy, creamy, and delicious. As for the beer -- wow. Some of our favourites included: Blackberry Rosemary Aloha Candy Store IPA Iron Sour Cherry ...and honestly so many more, it was hard to choose! We loved it so much I even picked up a Quidi Vidi shirt from the merch shop. If you're in Newfoundland, this place is an absolute must-visit.

The dildo brewery is more like a take out and having been to both the Dory is more like a sit down restaurant. Check it out

We waited half an hour for our order and saw the table next to us who sat down quite a lot after us was given their food which was exactly the same order as ours plus or minus a few items. We then had to ask where our order was and they said it was the next order up. We received our order a few minutes later and it was stone cold. If you have ever had mussels you would understand cold mussels are definitely not tasty.

Unfortunately, the bar was out of the two draft beers that I was interested in. I ended up getting a Coors light, which, really sucks if you think about it, since I'm from Colorado. If I ever go back, I need to learn more about Canadian beer. Still, it was a great place to stop for lunch while I walked and shopped Water Street.

Never offered to even heat them up. My brothers burger was also gross and the bun was burnt.

Well they were! We will never be going back. Worst wings ever.

Linda and her late husband, Bobby, opened the restaurant in 1977 to supplement their income from their declining grocery store. As promised, she was full of stories. She's in her late 60s and kept us entertained. The place is overflowing with things Linda has collected and things that have been given to her over the years. There are 1500+ spoons, lots of pictures, army helmets ... you name it! This is a large collection of cards ... not only business cards but driver's licenses, university IDs, etc. Apparently kids stop by after having a few too many and leave their important IDs (because they don't have business cards) under the glass ... they probably don't think it's such a grand idea the next day once they have sobered up. Barb helps Linda out at the bar. She lives down the street and had some great stories too. If you are in the Quidi Vidi area, you have to stop in and visit this place. Linda and Barb are very friendly and it's quite an experience.

If you want to be screeched in this is the place to do it. Go see Linda the owner and she will set you up. Today, my colleague got "screeched in". This process involves getting a shot of 90% alcohol homemade rum, she brings the frozen puffin which is over 20 years old preserved cryogenic style and you kiss the puffin bum. We watched a young gentleman get screeched in as well and she said "I'm going to have a wet dream about you". You get a signed certificate after issue by the Royal Order. You have to see it to believe it. Screeched ! (Warning this is not the place for the faint of heart)
