Boilerworks is located in Market Square on the waterfront - a 5 minute walk from both Pugsley and Long Wharf Terminals. It's a large brick complex - hard to miss - but there will be guides along the street to answer questions if you need help getting there. This is the part of the building they are in - restored waterfront warehouses : http://www.policenb.ca/images/city2.jpg

Correction - I meant to say Saint John Alehouse - not that it matters - they are in same building.

Thanks for the great information. Looking forward to Saint John Alehouse for lunch and a beer. Will be there on October 6.

Ooh, thanks for posting this. We'll be docking in St. John on my birthday and looking for a nice place to eat. This gives me a good start.

I ate at all of these places - so if you have questions just fire them off.

 

A great new place just opened - "Montana's" www.montanas.ca

Unfortunately, it's a bus ride or taxi ride from cruise area.

[Sue's Mom]

That's really useful information, thank you so much.

Hi - great thread ... love to cruise but since this is my hometown I thought I would add some more suggestions ... and, nope - I have no vested interest in any of the places I suggest :)

 

Alley Gris - great place for tapas and overlooks your cruise ship

123 Prince-William St. (short 2-3 min walk from ship)

lobster dip great but quite small - scallops wrapped in smoked salmon one of our favs

 

Across the street is Bourbon Quarter Restaurant & Bar newly opened and great French/Southern food ... grilled watermelon salad very good

 

Boilerworks and Ale House already mentioned ... not too impressed with the Thai food at Lemongrass in the same area - if you love Thai food one of the best is a short taxi ride from the ship - across the bridge to the west side ... Suwanna Restaurant (we have always loved it - I suggest requesting light oil)

 

Taco Pica is always a great stop for authentic Guatemalan food

96 Germain Street (walk straight up from the ship for 3 blocks and turn left ... a short walk past the Historic Trinity Church.

 

Hope this helps!

Chesterdogs,

My husband wants to try some local beer/ales at all the places we stop. Do you have any suggestions in St. John? Thanks

Saint John is home of world-famous Moosehead Beer www.moosehead.ca

O'Leary's pub on Princess St. 1 block from ship is a great local establishment to try it. Saint John Ale House www.saintjohnalehouse.com has the largest selection of beers in New Brunswick - including local beer on tap. Big Tide Brewing Company is located across the street from O'Leary's pub www.bigtidebrew.com - they have their own brew house.

Hi - try O'Leary's, a great Irish pub, up one block on Princess Street ... local brew is Moosehead, in bottles and on tap! They also offer a tour though the cruise ship where the last stop is O'Leary's and the tour includes 4 samples of various local beers.
