Both times we were here for dinner and watched the beautiful sunset over Shag Rock, the view is amazing! I think it was my mission to eat fish & chips and seafood chowder everywhere I went in NFLD - because those two things I got at Brown's lol You seriously get your money's worth here. Whatever room the fish didn't take up on my plate, the fries did! And the soup - chunks of fresh seafood swimming in a sea of creamy deliciousness (Also, I didn't wait till my soup cooled down because I was so excited to eat and I burnt my mouth) So be like me and eat here. But don't be like me and have patience with hot soup lol

Everyone in Bonavista should be proud of this establishment, especially considering the magnificent…read morerestoration that has transformed this historic building. Kudos to the owner for the dedication, vision, and investment required to bring it back to life. My understanding is that the structure was originally built between 1840 and 1850 as a mercantile building on the harbor. After years of decline and near abandonment, it was relocated to its present site around 2001. The current owner has done an impressive job restoring the building while preserving its historic exterior character. Having worked in the construction industry for more than 40 years, I tend to notice the details. I looked carefully and could not find any aspect of the renovation that appeared neglected. From the foundation, roofing, and flooring to the HVAC, electrical systems, and interior finishes, the workmanship is first-class. It is a beautiful building and a tremendous asset to the community. Projects like this are all too rare in many parts of North America, where the usual solution is to tear down the old and build something new. There are notable exceptions--places like Ybor City in Tampa come to mind--but restorations of this quality are uncommon. Preserving a building's history while giving it new life adds character that simply cannot be replicated. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate during either of our visits, so we were unable to enjoy the outdoor patio areas. Newfoundland apparently wanted to remind us who is really in charge. Fortunately, the interior was every bit as inviting. The space is warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, and we enjoyed relaxing at one of the high-top tables. We were told there is additional seating upstairs, although we never made it up there. I noticed one review pointing out that this is technically not a traditional microbrewery. That is perfectly fine with us. We have similar establishments in Florida where space limitations make on-site brewing impractical, so they showcase excellent beers from regional breweries instead. The concept works well here. The beer selection includes offerings from Bonavista Brewing, Landwash Brewery, Broomstick Brewing, Banished Brewing, Port Rexton Brewing, and Dildo Brewing. That sounds like a pretty respectable brewery lineup to me. The full bar is well stocked, the service was excellent during both visits, and the food was outstanding. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we returned for a second meal during our stay. We were fortunate enough to meet the head chef and came away convinced that the kitchen is in very capable hands. A true professional who clearly takes pride in his craft. The best restaurant and taproom in Bonavista? Absolutely, without hesitation. Visiting the area? Stop looking--you've found your place. Enjoy!

I had my eye on the PB&J burger that I had seen on Yelp, as peanut butter is my favorite thing ever! This burger did not disappoint. While the combo sounds strange, the flavors were well-balanced with the brie cheese, caramelized onions and bacon. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium and the hamburger bun was soft. I chose the kettle chips for my side, and they tasted house made. Very delicious! The only thing I didn't like about this burger was the price tag = $22. Hubby had the seafood chowder for $17 and it was enough for a full meal. He said the chowder was very flavorful and full of seafood. He was in heaven! We both ordered a Quidi Vidi 1892 amber ale on draft. They only had 7 beers on tap and I wished that they had a medium or dark beer, but this area doesn't seem to be big on that. They do have Guinness in a can, if that's your thing. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively fast. The booths were comfy and the pub reminded me of a cozy neighborhood bar. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!
