This bar is a pillar of the Ottawa music scene and overall a wonderful spot. The cocktails are great and fairly priced. People should go here more!

Best dirty martini in Ottawa. Pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem!

Such a great vibe and the owner is absolutely genius. More people need to hit this spot for a cheap beer and a couple free bar snacks too! The best!

I've finally found a music venue that caters to music of all kinds. Alex supports alot of bands from all over, and opens his venue to a cornucopia of groups without judgement. I enjoy performing here and look forward to more Tuesday evening shows.....Slim Moore and The NewSoulProject

Went for some live music on a Saturday night. Music was good and prices were reasonable. Unfortunately there was only one staff member working so getting a drink was near impossible, waited at the bar for almost 40 minutes. Not sure if someone called in sick or whatever but that was my experience. Its also worth noting that one of the drinks I received had a lime in it that was full of bugs, the bar was too busy to ask for a different one though.

Interesting place! Could be cool to reposition the stage from the front to the back! Otherwise the service was good and the drinks were cold!
