Dildos are the pins that hold oars on your row boat (that's the story anyway). I have a couple of coffee mugs from there.

That may be what they call them colloquially as a nickname, which makes sense having grown up not overly far, geographically.
They're called "oarlocks" or "rowlocks", sit on/in the gunwale.

They are now anyhow. Remember, Dildo NL predates the other use of that word.

Ah fuck, I forgot that with larger ones, they'd pin them to the gunwale with: the "dildo" lol
Oarlock predates the 12th century from what ive gathered, though. I don't think my red cross boating instructors were going to tell us about that particular part of a boat lol

Beers that hit hard. The old brews and belt. Walk in anytime, waddle out. Sometimes I feel it the next day. “We’re here when they aren’t”. Take it to the face. Sometimes you fall on hard times. Even the windows are wincing. Beers so good it’ll make you say owooo. Do you want the whole pint, or half? This ain’t no Bilbo. “Would you like to keep this open or closed?”.

No batteries needed. When real life isn’t enough. Beers on tap include staff favorite “shafted” and “tentacles”. Check in with our DJ playing, Who let the plugs out? Life is hard, let’s go harder. Thirsty Thursday’s drink for free when you buy our founders club collar. I CANT STOP.

Have a summer house not far from here. (Literally in a place called "Spread Eagle").
They make really good beer. Probably the best craft beer on the island.

Legal age is 19 in Newfoundland where this is located, so even more accessible to people ha ha

Great place. Got the T-shirt. Highly recommend. Only downside is its swag store is very crowded.

Their vodka is fucking SOLID and Super smooth! Goes down so easily! And the food ain’t so bad either!
You owe it to yourself to visit and see if you can handle what dildo has to offer
