The Clocktower Brew Pub is a great little spot to hang out in Ottawa offering a really nice menu alongside the showpiece micro-brews which they are known for.
The MacKay Street location also has a great patio that's perfectly situated for people watching but as the colder months approach you'll be happy to eat in where the interior has been made cosy with the stone walls and cool accents like bar lighting made from beer kegs.
There were five micro brews on the menu including the seasonal pumpkin beer. We ordered a sampler tray- which is five 8oz glasses (you decide how many of each type of beer). It comes to about the equivalent of 2 pints, only costs $12.95 and is a great way to try something new!
The pumpkin beer was my hubbie's favourite. It really smelled and tasted of nutmeg which made for a cool combo of flavours but it was a bit too bitter for my taste. I preferred the Clocktower Red.
All that plus a very chilled vibe and exceedingly nice wait staff equals one good time! -

Really fab place to be seen [what a scene] and I think the waitstaff know it... The decor was different with large graphic text promoting the available brew. The menu creative.
I was traveling with a group so definitely got to order and sample a bunch of small plates. Some better than others...what I remember most was the total lack of service. No greeting, waitress yells out the special....delay in coming back to the table to get drink orders. Drinks delivered and then another delay in getting food orders. Once food is delivered another delay and visit to get untensils and napkins. I did however appreciate the microbrews which were tasty. Don't know it that's enough for me to come back....maybe if they improved their customer service! -

I've been to both the Bank Street Glebe location (many times) and also the New Edinburgh location. The menu is standard pub fare. Nothing particularly outstanding or inspiring, but it was located across the street from where I lived so it was a convenient last-minute meeting place. For those who are into beer, I am told the selection is surprisingly disappointing for a pub that claims to be into microbrews. However, I will give it kudos for making off-menu poutine when the craving hits (even if they do use shredded mozzarella cheese rather than curds). And the pub is spacious and has a great patio.
