'The Duke,' as it's known, is an unpretentious English-style pub that represents all that's great about Newfoundland and Newfoundlanders. Stop in on a Friday night and you'll see a mix of blue-collar and white-collar workers, young and old, and perhaps even band members from Great Big Sea plunked down on the well-worn red-velour bar stools.
The kitchen cooks the ultimate in chicken pot pie, fish-and-chips and other comfort foods, and 14 beers (including the local Quidi Vidi) flow through the taps. The popular Republic of Doyle CBC TV series filmed here, which explains all the people taking photos of the sign by the door.
