Some of the most famous Fish and Chips in St. John's. Although not my personal favourite (check out the Duke of Duckworth, or Chafe's Landing if you have a vehicle!) they are commonly recommended and very central.

Drinks & Nightlife
One of my favourite spots in the city. Try some local beer, brewed in historical Quidi Vidi Village. A fan-favourite is the Iceberg beer, actually made with water from Icebergs that float past the city every year. Friday night Kitchen Parties are worth taking in!

Noted for the plethora of bars and pubs, George Street boasts the highest number of bars per square foot in North America. On any given night George Street will be bustling with live music and inebriated locals. The street is pedestrian traffic only, and cabs can easily be called at the West End.
Don't confuse with George Street West. While near by, George Street West is just a regular street with residential.
