Came across this place one afternoon while visiting on my honeymoon. We popped in after our dinner…read morenearby and it was like stepping back into our childhood! I didn't grow up playing video games as I wasn't much into them, but my guy loves pinball which they had here too in addition to classic arcade games. Pinball will cost you a looney, but the rest of the arcade games are free. My time at the pinball games ended quickly since I'm real bad at hand eye coordination and so on, but it was a fun playing the games. I got a banana barrel shot which was tasty. They had other fun themed drinks available. The bartender was nice and friendly. The place started to get busy on a weekday. Some folks came to get a drink and play while others came to hang out and get a drink. One room had a sofa and old school TV that you would have had if you grew up in the 80s. Overall, it was a fun spot that we happened to stumble upon during our brief stay in Saint John.

I was visiting friends from our neighbors up north and being the geeks that most of us are, we were…read moretold to come check this place out. It was safe to say, I was not disappointed in this bar! The bar has an interesting vintage decor, the bar played '80s music to fit with the vibe, there was lots of arcade machines in the front and pinball machines in the back, and of course, a decent alcohol selection. The bartenders were also a friendly bunch! All in all, this place was fun and I will gladly be back next time I visit my neighbors up north! Who knew arcade games and beer can go hand in hand!?

This is a quality museum with exhibits targeted to both children and adults, but for parents with…read morekids it is a quality stop. Three floors, with art, science, literature, and a children's space, as well as plenty of New Brunswick history. My children spent three hours taking it in. On the top floor there is a play space for kids that was really well designed with a puppet theater, puzzles, art you can make, etc. The current myths exhibit on the ground floor was pretty incredible - my young kids went back for seconds, and it was enjoyable for my wife and I as well. The museum is adjacent to great food options so you can visit, get lunch, and reenter. Very impressive!

This historic building (built in 1817) housed five generations of the Merritt family after Thomas…read moreMerritt IV (a British loyalist during the Revolutionary War) left the US for Nova Scotia. I enjoyed the tour (approx 20 min, $5 CD/USD) with the knowledgeable, friendly docent who took us through two stories of this well-preserved house (with a glimpse of the attic). The items in the house were explained by the docent, including the adjustable rope beds, the bed warmers, the kitchen tools and the portraits of the family. I left with a good impression of what life was like for the upper class in the early 1800's. Excellent!

This old Georgian style house was built in the early 1800s by David Daniel, son of Loyalist Thomas…read moreMerritt, who emigrated to Saint John from Rye, NY. The Merritt House is the oldest unchanged building in the city and now the Loyalist House, a museum depicting the way things were at this house almost 200 years ago. Guided tours (10-15 minutes) are given of two levels of this house and a peek of the attic. There are steep stairs in the house and up to the house, so a tour of this house is not wheelchair friendly. On Wednesdays through this summer, the Mayor's Tea is held in the Loyalist House. We happened to be touring on Wednesday and we're invited to tea with the museum staff. We enjoyed hot tea, fruit cake, cherry tarts, and zucchini bread over conversation with the staff and other guests. This was a great way to meet other people. Our Guidewas very informative touring the main level and upstairs level of the house. The Guide donned garb from the 1800s, but I don't think they made black Adidas shoes back then, hehe!! He did a good job answering all of our questions and sort of resembled the young man in the painting in the dining room. Overall we enjoyed this quick tour of the house.

We had a lovely young man as our tour guide and the enthusiasm of his story telling made everything come alive. There were several interesting items that our children could handle and enjoy. The museum is by donation and I was more then happy to contribute, they also have a lovely gift shop that help to support the up keep. During covid they require masks (I think they had some for purchase, unable to confirm as we have our own) and provide gloves.
