A large bull moose (a not so uncommon sight on the streets of St. John’s), wanders past the Republic in the warm sun of a misty summer morning. Named in honour of the historical pre-Confederation days of Newfoundland, this pub is situated downtown on Duckworth Street just one staircase above George Street (seen in the background). Locals and tourists alike drop in to quench their thirst with old and new friends in an atmosphere of good ol’ Newfoundland cheer.
