16 Best Craft Breweries in Ottawa

“What an awesome spot in the heart of the country.

We had the pleasure of popping by for a quick pint that turned into two pints while we watched the Jays game.

The lovely Marie and Dominic kept the establishment open later than posted as the game went into extra innings.

The Jays won and we all went wild!

What a great afternoon! Thank you!!!❤️“

“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 ❤️“

“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“

“Beer and food are really good. The service is great! The live music has been very good. I've had a great time every time I go.“

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

“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.“

“No complaints at all. I organized a group of 7. Made reservations several weeks before. The service was excellent and the place was full inside and the terrace. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I explained towards the end that we were in a bit of a hurry to leave having booked a haunted walk tour of beechwood cemetery. They rushed for us.“

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“great social atmosphere, great food too!“

“I consistently have an absolutely outstanding experience here. From the moment I walk in, the service is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Every team member is always invested in making the night special, and they absolutely delivered. Much gratitude to Jordan, Ashley & team for next level service & delicious food for my daughter’s baby shower. If you’re looking for a place that combines exceptional service with incredible food, fir dinner or a special event this is it. Highly recommend!“

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

“literally the best flavored water that I've ever had“

“A group of 12 retirees decided we would go to Iris location. Friday Lunch, fairly busy. Our Waitress, Gillian was excellent. She put up with the old folks that couldn't make a decision, was friendly and very organized. The food arrived fairly quickly. All orders accurate and presentation was beautiful. Congrats to the Kitchen staff, awesome job! Gillian just made the whole visit outstanding. Perfect amount of attention, not rushed or ignored. We will definitely be back.. Service fantastic... Food excellent, and very clean washrooms. Great visit!. Thank you...“
