Bannerman Brewing Co.

While I was visiting St. John’s I went to quite a few local craft brewery locations and taste some others in restaurants. Bannerman Brewing Co. is by far my favourite. You will see in my photos that they have a beer for every palette. I’m an East Coast IPA fan, my server brilliantly led me to the right choices. I was happy with both. I also had two delicious beef tacos. I’d say they were a cut above bar food and better than I’d had in the city until then. I’d like to add that based on wonderful aromas wafting from my neighbours table there are other delights to eat. It was a Monday evening so I was lucky to hear a set of acoustic and vocal music by a band with a lot of talent. I was blown away by them. The space itself is very warm and inviting and the service spot on. I was also happy to see that they are Rainbow friendly!

We had a wonderful experience. They have new menu, and we tried half of the items. Everything came out quick and was delicious. Beer was not bad. I expected better beer choices and flavours. But we still all found something to enjoy. I would definitely come back and recommend that place, because overall it was great experience. Service was quick and friendly

Great beer I had the back pocket vienna lager 6%. Service was lovely...larger open patio and huge space! Its accessible so people in mobile devices can enter and the washer is accessible!!

Had a fantastic experience at Bannerman Brewing Co. in St. John's! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, blending a modern vibe with the charm of a historic fire station. Their craft beers are exceptional—especially the Thirst Trap Pale Ale and the Only Shadows Dark Lager. The food menu is impressive, offering dishes like the Surprised Pig and green curry chicken that are bursting with flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. Whether you're there for a morning coffee or an evening pint, Bannerman Brewing delivers a memorable experience.

I still dream about the warm pretzel with the maple butter. I wish I could eat it everyday. Great snacks/food, great beer and love that there’s non alcoholic options too like coffee and their own flavoured soda water!

Ok so we are in NEWFOUNDLAND you can get fish and chips at every restaurant in town. There’s basically no fish in this and it’s all batter. The fries are really small and cold. Also had to wait like 45 mins for this disappointment. You literally throw it in a deep fryer for like 2 mins. It’s fries and battered fish lmao. I probably could’ve caught a cod in the harbour then made it myself in that time. Why is it like 8 tiny pieces. Just put 2 cutlets like every other restaurant in the world. Barely any tartar sauce as well. Server was aight. Beer was aight. Atmosphere is decent.

Great spot to unwind after exploring downtown St. John’s. Located at the end of the street, this cozy brewery offers a wide selection of local beers and light snacks — perfect for a casual break. While it’s not the best place for a full dinner, it’s definitely worth a visit for drinks and a relaxed atmosphere.

Loved the friendly atmosphere at Bannerman Brewing! Popped in for some drinks and a quick snack to tied us over before dinner. We ordered Undertow Pale Ale (10 oz) and After Hours DIPA with House made pretzel to share. Enjoyed everything! Great snack menu available! No flights but able to order smaller 10 oz beers to try

Lovely patio to sit on and eat/drink. Our food was excellent. The pierogis were crispy and salty with a delicious sour cream sauce. The carrots were al dente and also very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Overall a great place for dinner in St. John's

exceptionally nice inside be weary of a tasty dish DRUNKEN NOODLES about $22 and the size of a small appetizer we were wondering if the other Parts Would be coming.... no such luck, crazy small and expensive

Went for drinks and a snack Only ordered the fries. Amazing 5/5 All food Thai inspired and would have liked to try more but we really weren't Hungry Drinks: 3/5 I wasn't the hugest fan of their beer options. Maybe a flight option to try multiple flavours. If they had this my apologies it was not advertised. Also better wine selection might help for non beer drinkers. Atmosphere 4/5 cool vibe. Super busy with young crowd however was a very humid day and the overhead fans were not cutting it. Look into bigassfans for summer months. Used to be old fire station. Service. 3/5 male Bartender was very nice, female waitresses were not overly friendly. Water was filled frequently. Nice touch. Bathrooms 5/5 Side note: looked to have a cool event space above

We were pleasantly surprised by this brewery. We came here to kill time and have a beer, then after viewing the menu, we decided to stay for the food. I got the Minor Detail Hibiscus Blonde Ale and it was very refreshing! I'm not usually a "light beer" drinker, but this beer had the most color and it did not disappoint! Hubby had the Paradise Lost Rice Lager and thoroughly enjoyed it. Their food menu is comprised of creative Thai dishes. We shared the Surprised Pig - ground pork / fresh herbs /red onion / jasmine rice, and the Atlantic Cod Larb - fresh herbs/ toasted rice powder/ jasmine rice. Both dishes are very similar in presentation but different in taste. The Surorised Pig is bolder in flavor, and the Atlantic Cod is mild but still very flavorful. The atmosphere is very chill. They have community tables, individual belly tables and a bar all in one big room. Service is warm and friendly. Parking is limited in their lot, but that didn't seem to prevent people from coming. I'd definitely recommend this place to hang, drink and eat!

Really enjoyed this spot for a lovely, chill place to grab a beer plus some unexpectedly delicious Thai bites! We lucked out weather wise so the patio and large garage door were open so everyone could experience the beautiful summer weather. We found a table and were immediately greeted by our awesome server - so attentive and friendly! I ordered their Mexican Lager inspired beer (sorry, can't recall the name, but it is the only one on the menu) and then we ordered some shareable bites including the pork belly, fries, and crab pad thai. The food was excellent all around - hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to it is a close tie between the fries and pork belly. Definitely check this spot out!

Glad we went, but the main reason we went was because we were exhausted from coming down the signal hill path. If you have ever done that trail you know what I mean. Back to Bannerman Brewing. I do recommend you go. Fantastic food, great atmosphere and nice outdoor patio. We ordered 3 dishes to share between the two of us and it was more than enough. It was a little pricey for shareable plates, but I think the flavors made it all worth it. We did end up sharing and outside table and as it turns out we met them earlier on the trail.

This was an unexpected delight for a town in Newfoundland! It was the best food we had the whole trip. The atmosphere was so chill, and the service was excellent. I could spend hours here with a drink and friends! I loved their coffee selections as well. This truly was a gem! I just wish it wasn't thousands of miles away from home. If you are in St. John's, Definitely plan to stop here!

Sign says Bannerman but it is also called Namjin. Thai. https://www.bannermanbrewing.com/menu We went in a group of 4 people. We ordered 8 dishes which was 2 too many. Order 1.5 plates per person if your dishes come with rice. We had the tofu, crispy broccoli, tangy salad, the wings, surprised pig, and clams and more. The spicy tofu with jasmine rice was my favourite. Casual setting with indoor and outdoor dining. We had a delicious meal. :)

My wife and I loved this place! The beer, food and service were all fantastic. We can't wait to go back.

Great beer !!! Best in Saint Johns, nice atmosphere and great service. I would highly recommend the Pool Bar Hazy.

Checked out this spot on a rainy afternoon in NFL. The service and food were great. Tried the French fries, pad Thai, and crispy broccoli. The beer is made in-house and great. Waitress let me sample a couple until I settled on my pick. If you're in St Johns and looking for a cool spot to hangout and grab a bite/beer would recommend this place.

The 1 star for wasting our time! Made us wait for a table for 20 mins and then told us they cannot seat us because we had a kid with us and it was past 8:30!

Had the Crispy Pork Bell, really good. Definitely recommend this if you just want to enjoy a snack with your beer. Beer was delicious, would have liked to see more smaller dishes with beer pairing. Sometimes you just want a beer with something to pick on and not a full meal. Atmosphere and staff was friendly. I enjoyed the visit.

Wandered past here as a tourist on a walk down from Signal Hill. The place looked interesting and lively, so we went in for a beer and a snack. Turns out that we stumbled upon a local gem! A big, bright space with large windows. Great beer, and a damn good chicken burger. There was live music happening upstairs. This is a well-styled brewery that makes a statement about the craft beer scene in St John's. Can't wait to be able to visit again on a future trip to NL!

O.M.G. I LOVE BB!!!!!! The decor is gorge, the staff is accommodating, the tunes are popping, the food is wicked and the beers are the bomb! I have family that lives in St. John's and I visit every summer. This is just what downtown St. John's needed, I just love the heady beers and the vibe of this place. During my visit I've already been here twice and I foresee going back one more time before I head home. We enjoyed the pilsner, pale, IPA, sour, lager and every single one was dope as hell. The only thing we haven't tried yet is the coffee, it looks heavenly and we will have to get a cup next time. The food is awesome and I love to see more vegetarian options on the menu. Meat eaters.... don't you worry they have many options for you too. During our first visit we enjoyed the french fry nachos and the deep fried cauliflower and it was so good that when we went back the second time we ordered the cauliflower again. I'll be dreaming of the food when I'm back home. The staff was great and very helpful, they even suggested another bar for us to check out Tos.Low! We will definitely take there recommendation. What a great place. The bathrooms are also very tidy and have a very modern look, just like the rest of the place. If you happen to be walking around town and want a refreshments or a snack tuck on in to BB. You'll be happy you did.

Excellent beer and food, in a nice spacious setting. They serve a good variety of beers for every taste. It's a perfect spot to celebrate after climbing up Signal Hill and back down again.

Favourite place to stop by for a beer. I also love their non alcoholic options including the Benjamin bridge zero wine. Very nice ambience and I enjoy their lattes in the mornings, too.

One of my favorite spots in St. John's. Serves craft beer, espresso's and some fancy delicious food. I love the island time dipa!

Great atmosphere, kind service, tasty food and good craft beer. Very busy and would consider it "loud" but that can be expected for a brand new restaurant/ brewery in which everyone wants to visit. I would highly recommend the trip down when the summer weather finally hits and you can enjoy a cold wiggly pop with some chicken bites under the sun on their front deck

We have been here 4 times in the 2 weeks we have had in St John's because we like it so much! The Smacked Cucumbers, drunken noodles, mushroom fried rice, and pork belly crispies are standouts. Great beer, friendly staff, nice atmosphere...and a dog table for those of us who like to bring our pets along.

I'm back. The beer is still great and food has gotten better. The portions are very large - be careful when ordering. The nachos especially - enough for two easily. The place remains a hard seat to get on a Friday night; for the reasons, see above. Still a fan and will remain so.

Had the smashed cucumber and pork belly, it was amazing!! Service was super friendly and the beer was good too.

I went there today with my co workers for lunch the food was soo good I only had water but my co workers said the coffee there was fantastic. I also took some beer as take out where I was driving I couldn't drink. The server was a bit slow on some things but overall she was really good. I think her name was Olivia

The venue is nice, beer selection good, and local. Service was good, but the waitress didn't bother to speak to the silver haired member of our party. Online menu didn't make clear that it is Thai-inspired. Patio for beers must be nice in the warm weather.

Casual and inviting atmosphere with a modern rustic design - it almost feels like you're in a different/bigger city (NY, Toronto, etc). Great pints, no flights! Food is quick and delicious - tacos, nachos, street fries, gyros, banh mi, fresh salads. Friendly and accommodating staff. Growler fills! Would recommend!

Today, after our strenuous hike of Signal Hill, my husband and I decided to enjoy a beer at Bannerman Brewery. It felt awkward sitting at a table with strangers, but everyone else was doing it so we just went with the flow. It took a while for our waiter to take our order. We ordered two beer and assumed, which I know you should never do, that he would come back to take our food order. He did not return. We had to flag him down to order nachos. Our food came. We were not given plates, napkins or forks. Not one time did he ask if we wanted another beer or any thing else to eat or drink. So with sour cream and cheese all over our hands and face, we paid, without leaving a tip. Something I never do. The beer was delicious and the nachos were pretty good too, but the service sucked. And looking around, we were not the only ones who lacked attention from our waiter.
