21 Best Sports Bars in Ottawa

“A-fucking-mazing!!! Best time I’ve had in awhile! Must, must, MUST do!“

“Ottawa's Premier Sports bar for sure. Come watch all the live action everyday. 2024 Euro action in full swing. Come cheer on Team Canada on as they make history this Friday at 9pm. Center Screen with Sound.“

“Amigos - My favorite local bar! Overall, you'll enjoy it nonetheless.
Atmosphere is giving 2005 vibes, best throwbacks in the West end from Hip-Hop, RnB, Dancehall, Reggae Music, etc. Owner is the best of the best, always warm welcomes & smiles. Food is always proper & fresh served hot from the kitchen. Simply put, you'll enjoy it if you're not afraid of the off-crowd & act like you've been there before.“

“I cannot express how amazing this restaurant is. I recently went there after Christmas shopping and my starter had quit (something unknown to me) and the bartender and back of house chef came out to help in the cold. Not only were they cheerful and helpful but a regular came in and recommended banging on the solenoid, which my partner had tried, but it was a very friendly exchange.
While we waited for a tow, I went back into the bar for warmth and another beer and I was greeted with the friendliest of exchanges.
We were far from home, and farm and have never felt more at home.....away from home. I give this location 10000000/10.
I will be back. Many more times.“

“Originally tried to eat at the Baxter location but came here instead. Good choice.

Located within a plaza so there is plenty of free parking.

Atmosphere is nice and welcoming with clean tables and washrooms.

Staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and can recommend choices.

Food itself is surprisingly good that offers massive discounts after 9PM. We decided to order almost the entire appetizer menu to sample everything.

Overall, I would recommend to friends and family and would come back.“

“We stumbled upon this great little pub. Jesse the bartender was great!! Stop in! You won’t be disappointed !!“

“We had a good time playing billiards for 4 games at Minnesota's. They ran us a tab. The pool tables are not new and they are set close together so you may have to wait for your shot while the table beside is shooting. We were beside a group of young rowdies on a Saturday night (loud, swearing, etc). The music was 80s rock which is awesome. They had a jukebox. Mostly low volume so we could still talk (with 1 song exception that was super loud). There is no food being served but you can order in for delivery (i.e. Greek food place in the same Mall). There was a private party in the area beside the bar. Cost us $44 inc. a couple of drinks so good value. Indoor carpets, stairs from outside and glass front doors need a good clean!!“

“Amazing staff and owners ans service. Always a pleasure being here. Thank you“

“Nice selection of beers - I enjoyed a NEIPA.“

“Amazing food and drinks. Would highly recommend.“

“10/10! The White Album was amazing and some of the best garlic sauce I've ever had! They have incredible food.“

“Calista is a fantastic server at the Ottawa Clyde location.“

“Tonight there was a group of men promoting white supremacy and confederate flags in Maclarens. They confirmed this verbally to us when we asked about their shirt. When we told the manager in an attempt to help their business and let them know what kind of space they are promoting and allowing, and that they were losing us as customers, they said "their money is green". They told us loudly that they do not care. BOYCOTT THIS BAR IF YOU ARE ANTI-SLAVERY, ANTI-WHITE SUPREMACY. PS I do not know why this shows as me recommending the place. NO I DO NOT RECOMMEND. 0/5“

“Had a great time!!! Staff are friendly“

“Josh and Alex are both great Bartenders, really add to the great Happy Hour at this Jack's location. Awesome place and vibe.“

“I love Jacks so much. The Christmas pop up is so fun and the service is always great. Alexandra was extremely attentive and friendly. She greeted us almost immediately after we sat down, checked in on us multiple times and with a smile on her face. If you have the pleasure of having her as your server, ask her to tell you a joke, they are great!“

“We’ve been longtime customers of Fumoir Smoque Shack and it’s always our go-to spot for family celebrations. We love their food—it’s consistently excellent, and my kids can’t get enough of it! The service is always friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfect for gatherings. We used to visit them at their Ottawa location, and we’re so happy they’ve moved to Gatineau. Whether it’s a birthday dinner or a family event, this is the place we always choose. Highly recommend!“

“Sam and her staff really do care about the clients and their food. Attentive, eager to help, always checking on how things are going & genuinely want to make sure people are happy. Prices are reasonable & the beer is cold. The Sens shuttle is very convenient. A great locally owned place to support & not too far away!! Thanks Sam!“

“Great place to go for dinner, drinks, or have a party! Vince was super nice and helpful, and we had an amazing time.“

“Came for the IESA State Wrestling tournament. swung in for some drinks during a break to celebrate my nephew getting into the Championship. Our server/bartender/ runner/ host/ one man front of house machine GREG!!!! and his cook who we couldn't utilize sadly because only those two were running the place and we had a limited time. Great environment, menu looked amazing, amd great taps available. Gregg acknowledged every person walking through the door got us our drinks with perfect timing and could be seen running the floor to help everyone out. next time We're up north this place will be a for sure stop. and hopefully we can run into Gregg again to get the same stellar service.“

“We went for Father's Day. It was quiet but our waitress was amazing. Super friendly and attentive. Food was good. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Our waitress even gave the Father's some promotional T-shirts and drink cozies. Very nice of her. Bonus parking lot as it is very hard to find street parking in the Glebe.“
