“Hello. we highly recommend you go to this restaurant, The first time we went was for mother's day and our wedding anniversary. We decided to go due to all the reviews when you first walk in it seems peaceful and cozy. we were greeted as soon as we entered we didn't have to wait which was a plus. maybe on the chillier side on the inside but on those really hot days that place would feel very nice. are server was very patient, friendly and gave great recommendations on what to try. they definitely have a wide variety on food and drinks The food was top quality in our opinion definitely coming back more!!!“

“Great food the grilled Chicken Sandwich was huge but tasted so good. thee bartender/ cook was so kind and attentive to everyone that was inside that place, did the job effortlessly. i ended up leaving my purse and I live about 30 minutes away. Called, they had closed but told me to come to the back door to retrieve it. I tried to tip them and they refused and just stated.This is a community place we watch out for each other. i highly recommend.“

Zeller Inn Bar • $$
615 Columbus St, Ottawa

“Zeller's Inn is a bar in the heart of downtown Ottawa. It is a larger bar, featuring an indoor/ outdoor patio with 2 pool tables, 2 dart machines, and a punching machine. Smoking and drinking is allowed on the patio, making this spot a favorite for both large and small groups and is a favorite spot for the locals to meet up.

If you ever want to meet new people, Zellers Inn is the place! At the very least, the bartender is nice, and will gladly conversate with you and answer any questions you may have since she is familiar with Ottawa.

As for their menu, I have yet to try it, so I will have to go back and investigate the dishes that they offer.

(no pictures this time, guys)

Parking: Zeller's is located on a one-way street, so be prepared to find parking on the side of the road.

Kid-friendliness: Do not bring your kids here.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, they are wheelchair accessible. ♿️“

“9.6.2025 We could not have picked a better wedding venue! From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. Adrienne was incredible to work with from start to finish. Her passion and vision for this venue were so comforting when we were deciding where to have our wedding. I still remember talking with her and instantly feeling confident that this was the right place. The venue itself is stunning, and we received countless compliments from our guests on how beautiful everything was and the food just WOW. Even at our tasting, the chef made it nearly impossible to narrow down to just three options because every dish was phenomenal. On the wedding day, the service was flawless. Everything ran so smoothly, and we never had to worry about a single thing. Even the bartenders were amazing. So personable, fun, and truly kept the energy alive for our guests all night. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for the perfect place to celebrate their big day. Just take one tour or have dinner at pine hills and let the place speak for itself. Screaming thank you thank you thank you to the Pine Hills staff for helping make our day so magical. - The Zieglers“
