Ottawa

Bar entertainment in Ottawa

  1. A

    Manx

    A homey velvet sea awaits you at this basement pub-style hangout. Most people come for the great selection of Canadian microbrews (including the beloved Creemore) served on copper-top tables.

  2. Stoneface Dolly's

    Named for the owner's mother, who perfected the art of a stone-cold poker bluff, this popular joint is great place to grab a pint of Beau's or Hobgoblin – there's food throughout the day too.

  3. B

    Social

    A chic, flowing lounge with slick DJ-ed beats, Social lures the trendy types with overstuffed furniture and oversized drinks – the cocktails are so large, there should be a lifeguard on duty.

  4. C

    Hotel Lafayette

    Many would argue that 'the Laff' puts the 'crap' in crapulence, but this rundown relic actually does a good job of capturing ByWard's laid-back attitude.

    Clock Tower Brew Pub

    Enjoy homemade brews like Raspberry Wheat and Fenian Red amid exposed brick and ByWard bustle. There are two additional locations around town.
