19 Best Craft Breweries near Nepean

“The best brewery in Ottawa! The quality of beer and pizza is unmatched and the owners Ian and Sara are so passionate about what they do!
It's our families favourite place to go - kid and dog friendly and always a fun new beer (and pizza!) to try out.“

“The formula without table service (you pay at the counter and choose where you sit) is interesting, you don't risk waiting too long to get another beer :) - The lack of food is a minus on the other hand, although it is possible to take food from restaurants around.“

“We stopped in for a couple during a hockey tourney. The people that work here and owner are awesome.
Talked beer and tasted some before ordering. Fantastic!
Had lunch with a great Grilled Cheese over the top good.
Thanks for a great experience“

“Such a gem of a spot! Spark is our go to for post-work brews. Beautiful space makes for a great option for date night too. Pizzas are sooooo good ❤️“

“This brewery makes the most consistently fantastic beer of any I've ever visited. Two locations: the brewery (Hautes-Plaines) has a bit more options on tap for beer and (sometimes) offers slushie beers, and the other location has more meal options. Highly recommended for the beer connoisseur that enjoys quality smoothie sours, thick & rich stouts, and a variety of (New England) juicy/hazy style IPAs.“

“The best under-the-radar brewery in Ottawa. We came here on a Tuesday afternoon for a shopping pit-stop, and we were not disappointed. We were the only people there. The woman working there was very helpful, cheerful, and smiley. She made us feel very welcome. The two IPAs we had were crisp, and the soft pretzel was a nice snack.“

“great smooth tasting beer...highly recommend!“

“You have to try the COLD IPA..it’s awesome..best beer ever!!!!“

“A good range of beers including some excellent approachable beers like the Cream Ale. Service is also excellent and friendly while the speedy delivery in Ottawa is ace.“

“This is a great pub with a massive dog friendly patio. The beers were really good, the food was excellent (jerk chicken and chicken sandwich!)
The reason I’m giving this only 4 stars is that it’s not table service, you order through the QR code and they bring everything to you. However, when you pay online, you tip before receiving your beer, food or service which is hard concept for me to get used too.
With that being said, the beers and food came out quickly, and there was always someone walking around to check on you.“

“Outstanding venue. Excellent beer. Wonderful, attentive staff. Owners who elevate music to an experience beyond all expectations with infectious "Kid In A Candy Store" excitement. Ample parking. Fully accessible. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Food was too good, forgot to take photos!!
Service was perfect, bartender was attentive and friendly and gave a great recommendation. I was wavering between the nachos and the Wellness Salad and she said some great things about the salad, so that’s what I got. Great choice! Perfectly dressed, everything in it was fresh and tasty, one of the best salads I’ve ever had!! Bf said his French onion soup was very good too! Very happy we went there tonight and will definitely return next time we’re in Ottawa!

Vegetarian options: Wellness Salad a perfect 10 and vegetarian! Meat can be added but I didn’t miss it at all.“

“My 1st visit to the brewery for lunch on Sunday with my aunt and uncle. Everyone was pleased with their meals, from classic burgers to Buddha bowl, the server was excellent and for those who are interested in the brewing process the entire back wall is glass so that you can see the beer production. I gave 4/5 stars because it is a big pub, so you need to like that scene.

Food notes, the Buddha bowl comes “deconstructed” on a plate and the different ingredients have their own sauce or seasoning. Don’t get me wrong, it was yummy, but atypical and surprised me so letting you know. Also my Aunt liked that sweet potato mash was an available side, not one you see often.

With the right company, this is a great option to check out!“

“Great service and amazing food. Recommend to everyone that goes to Ottawa :)“

“I've had the great pleasure of being a fan of Dominion City Brewing for years now. What's sets these fine folks apart is not just excellent, and FUN craft beer releases, but the people behind it. They are wonderful.

Every visit to the taproom or community event I've attended is always in great company. Their seasonal releases, brewery collaborations, and awesome merch are backed with a ton of goodness. There's always a little something for everyone.

I take a BIG pleasure in being a regular part of their "Book Club" as well, and the discussions and people I've met have added a lot to my regular social calendar - something I look forward to each month!

My Friday nights just ain't right without a great brew from Dominion City ?☮️“

“Le personnel est excellent!!!“

“Great beer and Beerhall food specialties! Staff are awesome and friendly as well.“

“I just had my Christmas get-together from work at Big Rig Kitchen. I'm glad to say that we had a great service. The food delicious and fresh. The waiter assigned was warmth, attentive and fast. We were a group of ten. He really did a great job, I booked it in advance and everything was ready for us. Kudos to all the team! Amazing service. Highly recommend it.“

“Spectacular. Nice chunk of lime on my Diet Coke. The calamari is the best I've ever had. WOW.“
