18 Best Craft Breweries near Nepean

“This is a great well kept secret. I found out about this place through word of mouth and was pleasantly surprised. Tucked away in bell’s corner. Their pizza was excellent. Homemade crust was outstanding. The beer they have covers all ranges from ipa, lager, stout and the in betweens. They do offer other beverages such as ciders and hard seltzers. The atmosphere had a great vibe with a bit of light industrial crossed with rustic feel.“

“Love this place! The new food menu is fantastic — everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. The craft beers are just as amazing as ever, with tons of variety and something for everyone. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and always a good time. Highly recommend! 🍻“

“A must visit place during summers. I guess people do enjoy the fall and spring times as well. I just prefer the hot times, lol. It just makes everything taste better at that time of the year. Didn't make it this summer but definitely a mist try especially if you are bike riding on TCT and need to refresh yourself with something cold and fizzy 🤪“

“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 ❤️“

“Absolutely incredible customer service and home delivery. Well Done!!“

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

“First time visiting from Quebec City, and the experience was outstanding. Very welcoming place, beer, food and service is simply top notch!! Merci beaucoup pour la belle soirée xx“

“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.“

“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.“

“great social atmosphere, great food too!“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We had a group of 11 people for a Birthday celebration. We were all very happy with the service, the food was delicious and reasonably priced, and there was an excellent selection of drinks. Our server was friendly and organized, striking a great balance between being attentive yet not checking in too frequently. The atmosphere was perfect for our gathering. They accommodated us with a large booth where we were able to all see each other and it was easy to chat and hear everyone. We will definitely be going to Big Rig for future celebrations!“

“Big Rig Kitchen & Brewery - Iris is a place you can count on for a consistently good experience. The setting is comfortable and inviting, ideal for a casual evening out, catching a game, or enjoying a relaxed family meal. The menu delivers across the board — juicy burgers, well-seasoned wings that aren’t greasy, and classic pub dishes done properly. Portions are generous, everything arrives fresh and nicely presented, and it’s clear the kitchen pays attention to quality. Their house-brewed beers are a standout, offering a range from light and crisp to rich and full-bodied, with staff who know the menu and give solid recommendations. Even during busy times, service remains friendly and efficient without feeling rushed.
