If you watch “The Republic of Doyle” on Netflix you will recognize the fact that some of the scenes are filmed in The Duke of Duckworth and eventually the boys purchase the bar. We actually went there twice. The first time was just for drinks with some of our new friends from the tour. The next time was the very next day to go eat “the best” Fish n’ Chips around according to our bus tour guide. He wasn’t kidding – they were delicious! The batter was light and fluffy. The fish was cooked to perfection and the chips were nice and crispy not soggy and wimpy like we get at some restaurants.
Outside the Duke of Duckworth it looks exactly like it does on the show. The shots they use are actual shots of the bar. The entrance is down a few stairs on the side of a building – what would be considered an alley entrance.
Photos of our food – yippee! I know, food porn!
Inside the bar. I’ll have to watch another episode with the bar in it to see if the inside is the same.
