What makes Governor Bradford special

The Governor Bradford is a dark harbour pub full of wood and patina, and one of the few places on Commercial Street open all year. The drag karaoke was started by Ryan Landry and long hosted by Dana Denzel. In April 2026 the new management relaunched the kitchen with comfort food.

Shows

In the evening a drag queen takes the mic and hosts the ‘Dragalicious’ karaoke. There are also piano bar nights and a stage for new talent.
