Our mission? Great people helping other great people totally have a blast while enjoying amazing food. Wow, that was a mouthful. But can you blame us? We’re a restaurant. One that specializes in delicious food and great times. Our goal is to make you laugh. And depending on your hot sauce tolerance, cry.In all seriousness, we take real pride in our food. Try our Cluckin’ Fresh Chicken Fingers, made and seasoned with fresh, never frozen chicken tenders. This isn’t run-of-the-mill pub grub. Our Band of Chefs are influenced by a wide variety of tastes and have travelled across the globe to gain inspiration. But outside of the kitchen, we find it hard to take ourselves seriously. We have an Elvis booth. For no particular reason. Folks, that really does say it all. We’re sports fanatics, music nuts and love a good joke. If you’re into at least one of those things, we should hang out.

    Food was incredible. Had the firecracker sushi and tuna for an appetizer. And waguy steaks. Best food in St. John’s. Just a little note.. sat by the door and the cold air was a bit uncomfortable. Food and service made up for it. Will be back for sure.

    Had a lovely evening. Food & service were great. Only issue is with limitation on using gift cards purchased at Costco. Would have liked to use whatever gift cards we had but we’re limited to 1 per guest. We haven’t experienced that elsewhere with gift cards.

    Always an excellent experience & never disappointed. We have been eating here for years. Staff are always very friendly & accommodating (we asked if there was potential for a change of table as my husband was on crutches & if we could be seated near a wall, they were very accommodating. Thank you so much!). Food is always fantastic. Highly recommend every time!

    Loose tie has never failed us once! We’ve been to the restaurant multiple times over the years, and not once have we had a bad cocktail, bad food or bad service. Whenever we have visitors in town, we know that Loose Tie won’t disappoint! Highly recommend it!
