Our first night in St. Johns

We made a quick stop at a little bar that everyone  (but me) had been at before and had enjoyed the down home hospitality.  Linda the owner wasn't  home but we had a few drinks and talked to a locale lady and even had the barmen take us all through the living quarters to show us the paintings that Linda had done

Then it was off to get something to eat and a sign caught my eye

We were in time and went in for some great fish and chips.  It was cod and not deep fried in a heavy batter  like we expected but lightly breaded and delicious

As the sign out front had said they made their own beer and had 4 different kinds from a light wheat to a dark  almost like a Guinness.  I tried them all.

This restaurant was on the main street but just around the corner was the famous George street.

It was kind of a back street in St Johns a couple blocks long and was all bars and night clubs.  To my disappointment most of them were charging a 5.00 cover charge   Even the karaoke bar charged $5.00 and I just couldn't bring myself to pay $5.00 to see someone try to sing.

We did find one Irish Pub that had entertainment and no cover charge.  My kind of place

We sat near the bar where we could see the band

They had two bands while we were there which were a couple of girl folk singers

And when they finished about 11 o'clock a Irish Rovers type band came on who were excellent
