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.

No explanation provided. It's a shame really because is a lovely place. I should add that this was not the first visit but it was the last. Previous visits were better but only marginally. The service isn't great and the food isn't worth waiting for. However, they do have a good selection of beer.

Road trip to Carbonear today!…read more The Stone Jug is perfectly situated on Water Street overlooking ... the beautiful water. The Stone Jug has so much history and character. Windows and doors wide open you feel the fresh air off the water. Couldn't ask for a more perfect way to spend the afternoon or evening with friends or family over a drink +/- food. Despite the pub fare focused menu I threw caution to the wind and ordered the vegetarian pizza and it didn't disappoint. Good size for 2 people, light, airy, yet chewy crust (?wood fire oven) and full of flavour. Paired with a Mill Street Organic Lager and you've got a great Saturday evening meal. Our waitress was fantastic! Super warm and friendly. Made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. I give The Stone Jug 4/5 stars only because they do not have many "vegetarian options" on their menu (fish & chips, salad, and veg pizza) AND the building is not easily accessible to folks with mobility challenges; there is no wheelchair ramp.

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.

Egg rolls were good, garlic short ribs were also good. Their red sauce is of the worst quality I've ever seen , it's not even red it's like a translucent slightly red gel with not much flavor. There were little black flakes of burnt food in the chow mein and rice witch made it taste not so great. Would be a 1 star but the egg rolls and pork made it bearable.

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)

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.
