About

A solid local favorite that feels like a real Newfoundland pub. The seafood chowder is legendary here—thick, creamy, and packed with fresh ingredients. While some diners have griped about rising prices or portion inconsistencies, most people leave happy with the hearty portions and friendly service. It’s a great spot to catch live music and enjoy a genuine, unpretentious meal while driving the Irish Loop.
