It all started when a clip from the first episode of the recent season went viral online. In the episode, contestant Tara Nova reveals the wage she gets paid by a drag bar in St John's, Newfoundland.
"In Newfoundland, we execute six numbers, and we're each only paid $37.50," Tara Nova says.
"Wait, remain, what?! Shut the fuck up," another queen replies, to which Tara Nova repeats: "THIRTY. SEVEN. FIFTYYYY."
Then the clip cuts to an interview, where contestant Helena Poison exclaims, "Thirty-seven fifty?! It's the fifty cents. What are you doing with that fifty cents? It almost feels favor a 'fuck you.'"
Tara Nova continues to explain how high-priced it is organism a drag queen — like having to pay for "a new stare every single weekend." "I don't always see the payoff," she admits, "but the thing is, I love flamboyant so fucking much."
To this, drag queen Xana says that in comparison, her rate is $200 "no matter what gig" or "where it is." Then she says, "I don't think that Newfoundland bar is owned by a drag performer. They don't know what you're going through." And Tara Nova replies with, "No, he's a direct man."

This is out of date; I have started updating it but some establishments listed below did not survive the pandemic.
I may re-order this later to list the oldest establishments first and the newest ones last but that may hold a bit of explore though I know Erin's and The Ship and Big Ben's and The Crow's Nest and Christian's are fairly old (for here). Mrs. Liddy's in Torbay is the oldest established bar in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Notice that parents may now bring children into licensed establishments that serve meal, but only up to 8 p.m. And the NL Folk Arts Community has held a celtic session for young people that perhaps they may make a regular thing (see the sessions section for more details), and regularly have a adolescent folk showcase concert at the LSPU. Also O'Reilly's during summer has a youth session on Sunday afternoons from 2 to 7 p.m. in which they allow musicians and other people who are under 19. I suspect that legally they may have to be accompanied by an adult but am not sure and will check that later. Also note that as of July 1, 2005, smoking is banned in all bars in Newfoundland and Labrador.

St John’s, Newfoundland, is a city famous for its exclude scene. Yet, among the countless clubs and pubs, there is not one gay bar.
Since May 1994, the Zone occupied a multilevel space on Liquid St, the main dissector of the Atlantic capital. The gay, lesbian, bi and trans communities came together weekly to drink, move and be, skillfully, gay. Drag shows, themed nights and a variety of music brought a multitude of patrons of all sexualities into the Zone for 16 years.
But on Jan 1, after a host of long-time customers of all ages had rung in the new year, the Zone closed its doors.
“The Zone was the longest-running gay bar in the city’s history,” says Fabian Fitzpatrick, DJ and promoter for the exclude for many years. “I should show out that lgbtq+ bars have existed in one build or another since the late 1960s in St John’s, which comes as a surprise to many people.”
He believes that the past six months hold been the longest time the municipality has been without a gay prevent since the 1970s.
