About Brigid's Well Pub

Brigid's Well Pub is a hidden gem with a lively atmosphere and a wide selection of Irish beers. This cozy, hole-in-the-wall spot has a unique charm that sets it apart from typical Irish pubs, with a mix of authenticity and character. Located in the basement of a deconsecrated church, it features straw and even dogs roaming around, creating an inviting vibe. The pub offers live trad Irish music sessions and concerts, providing a vibrant setting for visitors. The staff are friendly, affable, and always helpful, contributing to the welcoming environment. While the pub once offered just chips as a snack and maintained a more relaxed vibe, its recent popularity has led to increased crowds, which can sometimes diminish its charm. However, it remains a great place to enjoy quality drinks, good music, and a bit of old Irish soul. With the best Guinness in Ottawa and good food at reasonable prices, it is a favorite for those seeking a genuine Irish pub experience. The owner, Patrick, even offers tours of the church upstairs, adding to the unique experience. Despite challenges in finding the entrance due to signage restrictions, the pub continues to be celebrated as an institution of great food and community.
