Visited this bar only once and on a Friday night (it is supposed to be its best night) and once was more than enough. I thought it would be like the Lookout which is the best and most dynamic dance bar in Ottawa and it is also a LGBTQ bar and even though I am 100% straight I go there every week.
So I thought as an alternative I try Swizzles, but it wasn't anything like Lookout. It is a quiet boring bar with older patrons who sing and no dancing. There is a very small stage for dance not sure how often it is used. Small crowd and boring.

Swizzles is a cool, inclusive bar in Ottawa's business district. They offer regular live entertainment, including burlesque, drag, and live music. Great place to meet new people or hang with friends.

The 2nd best drag show in Ottawa, every Thursday. Just promise to keep the recently unemployed queen from Ts away from this much better establishment

Was in town for the night and came in after a concert. Vibe was immaculate, everybody was having fun, and I felt safe and like a part of the culture.
Good priced drinks ! Samira and tiny are great bartenders!

Smells like a bus shelter that someone took a dump in it

Drink prices were good. The bar seems to be full of regulars, the server behind the bar made us feel more like a nuisance than customers. Seats at the bar reserved for people who never sat in them despite the place being packed, asked to order drinks and ignored right off the bat. Probably not a place for tourists and more so for locals/regular visitors. Was a queer friendly space tho.

Swizzles has some of the best karaoke singers in town...and the best people too.

Incredibly fun gay bar with great karaoke nights! The staff are very caring and kind and the regular patrons are really friendly. A great place to go for a night out.
