Reviews of The Ship Pub (Night Club)

Chris C

Bill the bartender is incredible both as a bartender and as a human. The food is pretty good too. Drink specials could be a little cheaper. Great venue for live entertainment.

Jarrad Bennett

Great people, cold drinks, amazing fish n' chips. Live music featuring the best Newfoundland has to offer. Covid measures are in place. Go have a time!

Gabriela Logan

This joint is Best kind. Great for a pint and a show. Though prices can be a bit steep at times.

Devon Bryan

What a nice little pub! Met with some friends here and we stayed for hours, ordered delicious food and drinks, and had a wonderful time! The fish was fresh, we saw one of the staff enter with fish ready to be cooked which was an extra treat. The staff are so accommodating and friendly. Excellent!!

Iconic St.John's pub. Best place in town for live music and now has amazing and creative food options -- especially the weekend brunch.

Kerri Claire

Tasty menu that changes fairly often for an afternoon / evening meal. Really nice atmosphere that feels like you're in the keel of a ship. Great spot to check out for live music too!

Kaitlin Casey

Great vibe and decent drink prices, loved seeing a show here because it's not cramped inside

Ethan Cobb

Cool little hole in the wall pub. Small but Good Room for live entertainment. Needs more old ship artifacts on the walls! Besides that, I recommend this place.

Lisa Currie-McKay

Great food and fantastic service. Really relaxing ambience. Tasty pints too!

Suzanna Tai

Excellent fish and chips. The server was friendly and the food came out quickly. I would recommend this as a place to stop for lunch while downtown. I would imagine it would be a fun place to go see some live music, especially when COVID-19 restrictions have relaxed some more. Will be returning!

Kevin

I don't go here often but I usually have a good time when I'm there. One of the bartenders (sorry bro I don't know your name) is awesome. He was looking out to me all night last time I was there: I was off at a table and whenever my water …

Ian Hennessey

Awesome venue for great local bands, drinks are a bit expensive and the people working the door often seem contrary though

Codey Foley

Great fish and chips, love this place!

Melanie DR

Underrated lunch spot! Fries are deadly.

Nigel Brown

Very ordinary which is part of the charm. We went mid-day for a drink and to avoid the rain. Would love to come back and experience live music.

Ian Murdoch

Solid no-frills bar, especially for live music on weekends. Good selection of beers on tap.

Stephen Chislett

Drinks can be a expensive and the venue isn't very comfortable. They book great shows here though

Jonathan Klippenstein-Epp

What a great hole-in-the-wall pub. Old school bar you feel like you could be in an Irish bar. Amanda, the bartender, was easy to talk to and had great advice about what to do in the city. I would/will return when I can! Definitely check this place out if you want a beer and good atmosphere.

Emily Deborah Reston

These guys Are awesome! The best fish n chips we’ve had in nfld!

W.C. Merrigan

Great hole in the wall pub

Johann Weger

The musical talent I've seen here a number of times is great however I always feel like I'm walking into a stranger's living room and I wasn't invited.

Aaron Hobbs

A great little hidden gem of a place. Don't let it's location fool you; there's a lovely, friendly and fun local pub just off the main walk. The staff were friendly and the locals were great to chat and hang out with. Events here are also great such as the recent Folk Night, which was an absolute pleasure to be at. Highly recommended!

Emily Coffen

This pub has the best atmosphere! And the food is amazing!

Sean Farrell

Best venue in St. John's. Amazing sound, quality staff.

Morgan Holmes

Feels like home when you walk in. Perhaps too much. Nevertheless the greatest part of the Ship is their pleasant decor and live music. Went for the Jazz ensemble and it was a great time. Staff are very friendly.

Jessica Doyle

I ordered a Bud Light and everyone stared at me like Id cursed their mother. Still though, good music and cool atmosphere aside from the beer snobbery

Dave Squires

Nice staff. Good live music and friendly people.

Trina Porter

Gourmet pub grub at its finest and the best small stage to see big names in the folk scene.

Justin Quinton

This place is an institution of the local music scene. Great pint selection, with specials on Black Horse and Jockey, a quality kitchen, and the friendliest bartenders around.

Mireille Eagan

A favourite place for a meal, with vegetarian options. Great place to see a variety of shows. Easygoing and friendly atmosphere. My favourite bar in the city.

Dave Lizee

Cool bar a little run down but I like that sorta thing. Make sure to check out the folk night!

Canning Factory

An institution as iconic as any in St. John's, one of the best places for live music and great food. Amy's specials are some of the best food in the city.

Peter Madden

Amazing and intimate music venue. Great place for a pint and lunch.

David Llewelyn

On a Sunday night in August, the bar was very quiet. Few patrons, but an enthusiastic jam session was in motion. Celtic instruments abound, including a mandolin, Irish bouzouki, button accordion, guitar and violin. Gifted musicians enjoying themselves and providing incidental enjoyment to the small crowd

Curtis Poirier

Great pub. Great staff. Great food. Great music

Derick R.P.

We went to an open mic night and it was a lot of fun. Loads of talent in St. John's. Good service, good drinks.

Great atmosphere, and wonderful food. The wait staff are very friendly, too.

Lindadiana Hill

Fun experience eating in a dark pub where the locals gather. The food was pub grub .... but hey... we were in a pub!

Dean Doyle

Excellent staff, excellent atmosphere, less than excellent prices on pints (tip: black horse is cheaper). The brunch menu is my favourite in the city.

Stephen Duggan

If you're looking for the consumate "local place" this is it. This place has fantastic food and great local music.

Kane Priddle

Good spot

Chloe Rose

Awesome music and, honest to God, the best food I've had in weeks! Ask for the handmade gnocchi if they're still serving it ????

Julie Fitzpatrick

Lamb shepherd's pie was amazing. Big portion size and delicious!

Ian Vogt

Excellent fish and chips plus a good value. Great beer selection. Staff are friendly as can be!

VanHoutenOwen

The Ship is good because when you ask, everyone knows where the bathroom is to.

Aaron Kelly

The food was a pub grub culinary delight. They must have a chemist working in the kitchen. I actually had to close my eyes and just let the tastes wash over me.

Cuneyt Kavaslar

Amazing food and excellent selection of local brews. Live music most nights too!!

Lesley Chard

Best lunch menu in St. John's, coming from a local. Do not let the atmosphere fool you!

Pete Wheeler

Great location. Very friendly staff. Good selection of beer. Drop in for happy hour.

Hugo Begin

Best beer batered cod. If you're from away you have to tries fries, dressing and gravy. Atmosphere is great too.

Hal Roach

Best pub I visited in area, I was like family upon entering, great convo with boys working the bar, very attentive service, huge portion and great quality. Don't miss this hole in the wall.

Andrew Nowakowski

Great little spot! We ended up here on a whim as our first choice was closed. The server was really good. She noticed our food was taking a bit long and came over and told us about a delay and offered to take care of our drinks. We had a breakfast burger special. It was really good but a few too many elements to it in my opinion. Worth checking out for brunch and then returning for some live music in the evening!

Mick Huerta

I've frequented the Ship for decades. And recently the kitchen has gotten even better. Just had a delicious "pub-grub" lunch there with a perfect pint! Friendly, efficient service. Excellent!

Danielle Palmer

Best food in town!

Jonathan Wall

Best kept secret in the city for food. The food is insanely good, and well priced. Great beer choice, albeit expensive. The shows are usaully a blast here as well.

Kaveh M

Great place to hear music and enjoy the tunes. The staff are amazing and atmosphere is very friendly.

Meghan S

We went for Wednesday Folk Night ($5 cover per person) as we were intrigued after reading about it online. It was a really cool way to get immersed into the culture and hear some of the local music.

Terry Hudson

Surprisingly eclectic menu for a pub. Quality of food prep and presentation much better than would be expected. Try one of the specials, they're always interesting. Friendly staff, great service.

Théa Morash

The food at The Ship is top-notch, and so is the service. One of my favourite places in the City.

Jared

Came on a Sunday afternoon and the place was pretty quiet, we got our food right away. Great price, good beer selection, big portions. Chico the bartender and server was friendly and helpful. I ordered the fish and chips and my wife ordered the French toast. Would recommend both!

Cassidy Molloy

Favorite little pub in the city! Great music, service and food!

Kate Grey

The ship pub used to be a nice place. Now I will avoid even passing over there. The ship pub allowed the singer Matthew Hornell to verbally abuse young international people, probably students. The situation was that the singer was drinking …

Theo Crocker

Food is reasonably priced the service was outstanding had our food in less than five mintues and was absolutely delicious , I highly recommend there Burger it's amazing

Terra Byte

Great spot, heart of downtown

Scott Therriault

Saw the MUN Jazz band, was great live music. Awesome atmosphere

Matt Smith

Ok vibe, good beers on tap. After sitting with our beers and racking up a bar tab a live band starting preparing and a waitress came around to retroactively collect cover. Live band didn't play until an hour afterwards. There are much better places nearby for a night out.

Matt Wright

Great vibe for a place to have a great drink and a conversation. Lots of taps, pool table, and solid service.

Shannon Green

Great food, friendly staff. Live music most nights.

SurfSkateFly Canada

Beverly Wannamaker

Chico was the best bartender. Great place!!!

Jonas Anseeuw

Rude staff. There are better places in downtown with better live music and a friendly atmosphere.

Katya Uryupova

The Ship Pub, a popular local watering hole. The pub is a popular music venue with a dedicated group of regulars and a laid-back, mellowed atmosphere. in the daytime, the place transforms into a similarly chilled out eatery where people flock for local meals, especially Poutine and fish and chips.

Kelly Connors

First time eating here was last Friday..I thought the food was excellent, very generous portions. The 2 servers working that evening were super efficient and friendly. Definately going back soon..

Buddy Gosse

Friendly smiling bartender Amanda. Cold bottle beers. Nice quite small bar. Been here about 100 times in the past still looks the same as 25 years ago. Great small venue to watch some local talent play their hearts out on selected evenings.

Rus Kelland

Folk Night is delightful.

Tom Spicer

First place we went to after a very long drive, loved the place. Will definitely go there again

Gavin Douglas

Great music venue, interesting rotating menu, and gluten-free fryer!

Ana Belén

The singer got drunk and was super rude, the guy verbally abuse a group of young people using his microphone. He point out that they were talking. While everyone was talking. It is a bar not a concert hall. The managers did nothing to stop …
