Its sign says it's a 24 hour restaurant and the inside is a pub ... actually it's one of three pubs that are connected. There was a fella at the bar having a beer. I ordered the Celtic Breakfast with ham. It was good, though I wasn't crazy about the home fries. Gord was more adventurous and ordered the Newfoundlander. He enjoyed it. Toutons, we discovered, are leftover dough that are then fried. Our server was very friendly ... it was a great way to start our visit to St. John's (though we were only spending a day there)!

The waitress we had was almost clueless not to be rude but she had no clue what to do. She also had no clue how to split a check, it took atleast 30 minutes and us helping her. She ended up giving up and switched servers. She also sounded very sarcastic and was slightly rude almost. We then had a different waitress come over and ask if we had ordered a drink that we didn't order (which had happened many times through the night) and we tried it because we thought it was ours but then when we tasted it and it wasn't, we called her back and told her, she went to give that drink to another table- the one we had already had a sip of! So we just called her back and said we would drink it so she wouldn't give it to someone else. But besides the service the singer they have was very good and it was a very comfortable place.

It was a fun, authentic experience. A group of locals gathered with their instruments and jammed traditional Irish music for about 3 hours. There was a solo performer that followed. The only food they offered were hotdogs or sausage on a bun. They come with your choice of numerous toppings. I have had better, but when hungry, they hit the spot. If you are looking to get away from the tourist spots on George Street, Erin's Pub might be for you.

Gayle and I were walking back from dinner and live music on George Street, when we happened by a…read moresign outside of Erin's Pub about an Irish music trad session that as it turned out was in progress. So we came in, took a seat at the bar, ordered a couple pints of Guinness (the best pour in St. John's we were told), and listened to several musicians around a big table churn out a number of traditional tunes. Another Irish word for this is seisiún or session. It was very relaxed and informal, with individual musicians starting a tune and others quickly joining in. Gayle and I really felt part of a local crowd of very nice and hospitable Newfoundlanders. A significant percentage of Newfoundlanders come from Irish descent. That started in the 17th Century when ships from the English West Country stopped into along Ireland's south coast to collect food and servants for the fisheries around the coast of Newfoundland. As such, the traditional music of Newfoundland and Labrador is rooted in Irish, Scottish, and English music. The Bar itself has a sort of local divey vibe, with dark woods, a cool bar, no pretense, and even a 24-hour camera screen on Quidi Vidi. It was a place where we really enjoyed staying awhile, which we did until this Celtic jam session was over.

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.

This was our first time visiting George Street in St. John's and to say we were disappointed would…read morebe an understatement. We had reservations and were seated in an upper area with extremely uncomfortable bench seating. The bench was so high and narrow that my feet didn't even come close to touching the floor. The tables were packed tightly together with virtually no room to move. At the table beside us, one gentleman had to stand away from the table for most of the meal because the sloped ceiling prevented him from sitting comfortably. On the other side, seven people were squeezed into what looked like a space meant for four. The food was, without question, the worst meal we had during our two weeks in Newfoundland. My husband ordered gravy with his fries and it arrived dark, thick and congealed. Paying an extra $3 for it only added to the disappointment. I figured George Street might be better suited for drinks and live music, but unfortunately the beverages were equally underwhelming. I tried two different mixed drinks that had little to no alcohol taste, flat 7-Up, and overall poor flavour. The next two shooters I ordered were better, but I still questioned the alcohol content. I'm someone who gets tipsy fairly easily and after several drinks I didn't feel the slightest buzz. I won't go into the conditions of the Washrooms. The two positives were the music, which was excellent and our server, who was attentive and quick with drink service throughout the evening. What surprised me most was that when we left, there was a lineup out the door waiting to get in. I honestly can't explain it based on our experience. The music was good, so perhaps that's the draw, but the food, drinks, and seating left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, this was not the George Street experience we were hoping for.

I had my eye on the PB&J burger that I had seen on Yelp, as peanut butter is my favorite thing ever! This burger did not disappoint. While the combo sounds strange, the flavors were well-balanced with the brie cheese, caramelized onions and bacon. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium and the hamburger bun was soft. I chose the kettle chips for my side, and they tasted house made. Very delicious! The only thing I didn't like about this burger was the price tag = $22. Hubby had the seafood chowder for $17 and it was enough for a full meal. He said the chowder was very flavorful and full of seafood. He was in heaven! We both ordered a Quidi Vidi 1892 amber ale on draft. They only had 7 beers on tap and I wished that they had a medium or dark beer, but this area doesn't seem to be big on that. They do have Guinness in a can, if that's your thing. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively fast. The booths were comfy and the pub reminded me of a cozy neighborhood bar. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!
