The internationally renowned George Street, located in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, is a short street populated mainly by bars and pubs. It is closed to traffic all evening and most of the business day, only being open from 8:00am until noon, to allow bars to restock their goods. In the evening, the street is only open to pedestrians. It is believed that George Street has the most pubs and bars per square foot of any street in North America, and is known to have bars that are open later than most others throughout most of Canada.
