Absolutely love this place! Great Dive bar with awesome live music, come here everytime I'm down for work conventions! Nothing beats the the big bottles of 50 with the old school draft glass!

DJ they don’t have any taste. DJ doesn’t even know the song surfing bird terrible DJ.

Despite there being no queue, I was kept waiting for 15 minutes to get a beer; nobody paid any attention, and this happened when the place wasn't crowded.

I would die for the bartender Ian. A true goat in the game. Maximizes efficiency, service, and quaility.

Security just called the cops on us no explanation. Said we were bothering others. Bartenders were great but security were a bit racist

Ottawa's original dive bar. It's my favourite place to grab a pint in the city.

The cobblestone stout is excellent and the vibes are amazing. Oldest pub in Ottawa with a killer live music feature on Sunday afternoons! The staff are also so, so sweet!

Worst customer service ever! Rude bartender who kicks people out for no reason and are very disrespectful and cursing at paying customers. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE!

Bartender and manager are very rude and unprofessional, we’ve been kicked out because of wrong drink made by bartender🤷🏻‍♂️never go back again!!

This has been my favourite place to go on a night out for 11 years. They have a nice beer selection and the peppercorn gravy poutine is, in my opinion, the best poutine in Ottawa. The people here are great, too. The staff are always courteous and prioritize guest comfort, even on busy nights. It's a friendly, cozy, and fun atmosphere and a perfect place to grab a drink and a bite with friends.
