Try the fish & chips at The Duke Of Duckworth

325 Duckworth St, St. John's, NL A1C 1H5, Canada
(709) 739-6344

One of our favourite bars in St. John's and conveniently located in the heart of downtown. With that said, it's not the easiest to find as it's in an alleyway and rumour has it that it's haunted. Anyway, we highly recommend the fish & chips!

Signal Hill National Historic Site

230 Signal Hill Rd, St. John's, NL A1A 1B3, Canada
(709) 772-5367

Take in the beautiful sights of St. John's and the harbour from this world-famous heritage site. Easy to get to from downtown (5-minute drive or 40-minute walk) and can be combined with visits to the Johnson Geo Centre and/or Quidi Vidi.

Quidi Vidi Brewery

35 Barrows Rd, St. John's, NL A1A 1G8, Canada
(709) 738-4040

St. John's most famous brewery is a great place to grab a pint by the water. We highly recommend hiking (or driving) over to see Signal Hill and then continuing onwards to here. As a bonus, they regularly have fantastic live music!

The Rooms

9 Bonaventure Ave, St. John's, NL A1C 5P9
(709) 757-8090

Big fan of history and/or art? The Rooms is a MASSIVE museum and art gallery full of local treasures. If you're going to go here, plan on spending a few hours because there's plenty to see. Oh, and it's a quick walk (10-20 minutes) from all of the downtown hotels.

Jack Axes

95 Merrymeeting Rd, St. John's, NL A1C 2W2, Canada
(709) 221-6525

Never tried axe throwing before? Tried it before and want to throw sharp metal at wood again? Head over to one of Alex's favourite spots in St. John's and have a round! Always a great selection of local craft beers on tap and a short 20-minute walk from downtown.

The Parlour Gelato + Coffee

85 Military Rd, St. John's, NL A1C 2C8, Canada

Part gelato shop, part coffee house. This is one of Janelle's favourite places in St. John's to grab a (non-alcoholic) drink and a treat. And it's only a 10-minute walk up the road from the Alt Hotel!
