    a glass of beer
    Milagros R.

    We where here wile on vacation and it was surprisingly good, drank one of the local sliders "yip and it was great" we also had half order of nachos. The ambiance was good for a pub. Service was also great!

    Fun find in St. John NB! Tucked in the lower level of a building within walking distance to the cruise port, Beer was cold and refreshing. The pretzel bites were warm and satisfying!

    Good tap house with plenty of deliciously filling food options to accompany their delicious beers. Friendly staff and cozy environment helps make the experience enjoyable.

    Discover Saint John tweeted today about Big Tide Brewing Co. so I thought I would check it out for supper as I like brewpubs. They brew their own beer onsite. Alas, all they sold are growlers so I can't take any home for Gord. Thomas was the bartender/server/brewer and he gave me a tour. I had a Fogbound Hemp Pale Ale and it was good. I ordered Chicken Parmesan, without the parm cheese (I'm not a fan). It was okay. I found the batter on the chicken too crispy ... maybe it was cooked too long? The chicken inside was tender and moist. It's a big meal and I couldn't finish it ... I left some pasta and most of the bread. Thomas was extremely friendly and took excellent care of me. This is a place I would like to take Gord, who is a big fan of craft beer, to someday. The beer was good and the bar was cozy.

    Not sure about the reviews. The beer is flat out awful. Watery and bland. Then again, I'm used to the beer in Portland, Maine which is some of the best in North America. Typical bar food as well. Atmosphere is is ok, almost like a pop up chain.

    Pan seared scallops, perfect!

    Definitely should be on everyones list to be while in SJ. While visiting Saint John for my SO's work, I stumbled upon Big Tide for it's sign out front that said ' chocolate amaretto porter'. I stopped there on a late night. Beer: this place is first a brewery, and you can tell there is heart and effort in their beers. The bartenders are very knowledgeable on all of them. They have rotating taps so the chocolate amaretto and raspberry ale probably won't be there long, both super delicious. Food: step up from pub food, maybe it's because the cook stepped out to ask how things are and if he could improve on anything, tiny effort but very appreciated.
