What is the best bar and hotel in St. John's, Newfoundland? Which is better: Cape Spear or Signal Hill?

Question

How far of a ride is it to Gander and then onto Corner Brook? Is it worth staying a night in Terra Nova National Park?

I understand the drive from St. John's to Gander is nothing but awesome looking trees, but you have to watch out for Moose!....Is this a true statement?

Please provide as much information about Newfoundland, it just seems like one of those hidden treasures...

Answer 1

1.) Best bar, depends on you and your age. George Street has the most bars in the city. Lots of Irish style pubs . Some with live music ( Greensleeves ) and Martini bar, and some dance clubs.

2.) St, John's to Gander, about 4 hours or so... not much to see on the way if you take the direct route. Some ok scenery. YES watch out for the moose.

3.) Gander to Corner Brook, about hte same, about 4 hours, nice scenery as you start to get into the mountains

3.) Terra Nova is nice. Depending on when you go. If you are there in the summer, and you have lots of time, start and st. John's, stop in Terra Nova, and check out the communities in the area ( some nice sandy beachs in eastport ) go to Gander and stay there if you wish. Then head straight to Cornerbrook. However you must head north from there and check out Gros Morne National Park, its incredible, mountains and valleys, lots of tours.

The best way I can describe NL is it is like a mini Canada. The east is low and rocky, it has some flats in the center, and the west coast is rolling mountains/ hills and valleys )

I am from there, but live away. Took my BF there one summer and he was blown away.

Their are quite a few nice bars and pubs on George Street. Check out www.nfld.com to get a more detailed look at what to do if you visit. Gander to Corner Brook will take about 6 hours. It's pretty boring driving across the province, but if you go into some of the communities, it's quite a site. My favorite area is on the Bonavista peninsula and includes the towns of Eastport, Salvage, St.Chad's, Sandy Cove, Burnside and Happy Adventure. Of these, Salvage and St.Chads are the prettiest. Lots of tourists have homes there for the summer. Camping anywhere in Newfoundland is a hit or miss. It all depends on the weather, but I have camped in Terra Nova and I had a blast. Gros Morne National Park on the west coast is also great as well.

Sorry Mainland Canada but the Economic fog is starting to lift out east. Sure some types of jobs are harder to find than others, but my mom worked in the retail industry in Newfoundland and there were many times they had more job openings than applicants. As with any move it's important to have a job prior to moving. Make sure you have all the legal requirements to work in Canada and the province of Newfoundland & Labrador. You will also need to work out a place to live. Rent and real estate is going up.
