Oh Mort's, another really good pizza from your bar today!  This brings me back to my initial time at Mort's.

I remember the first time I came into Mort's was for an Ottawa Senators playoff game during their Stanley Cup run.  EVERY one of the sports…More »

It took me awhile to finally get to this place as a lot of people recommended it to me and I wasn't disappointed.  They have my favourite brunch menu in Ottawa and I go back often for brunch.  I've had dinner here once or twice as well but I much…More »

I just had my first experience at this little pub that is based out of a stone house.  It's small, cramped and has a nice charm about it.  The place was packed for lunch and packed with the best things...LOCALS!

They have a decent selection of beers…More »

Pretty small no frills pub.  I wish it was dingier then I could classify it as a sketchy pub but it's way to new and way to nice...which really makes me partially sad :)

The service has always been good compared the the other Irish Village pubs and…More »

The Brig is one of the 2 default pubs in my neighbourhood for when I want a quick drink on a patio.  The other is usually The Clocktower Pub when I want drinks and a quick snack.

The Brig is alright, beer is not extremely expensive and it's in a great…More »

  Update - 10/30/2011

The pub portion of Pub Italia is still solid.  They have the largest beer menu in town but the food has really gone downhill since I first came to this place.  

I wouldn't really recommend anything on the menu as it's mediocre to ok.  We split a bunch…More »

I found out about this place when Chez Lucien was packed.  We headed down to Westboro and were quickly seated when we arrived.  The place looks really nice from the inside and our booth could hold 6 people.

Wow I just realized I don't have a review here.  If anyone asks me to hit up a pub in the market this is my go to place because the food is ok and so is the beer.  They also have food specials during the week!

We come here weekly after our teams volleyball games as they have a promotion with our league.

The Pump is in the basement of the building and has a nice cozy feel.  Yes it can get a little cramped in there but it's a nice feel.

I have to agree with Chris that the Oak here is typical pub food.  I've never had a problem with the service here even when they are packed and short staffed.

The last time I was here I had a buffalo wrap that kind of sucked but I do like the fries…More »

Not the newest Royal Oak in town, not the biggest Royal Oak in town, not the nicest Royal Oak in town but probably my favourite.  It has a second level patio with a view  that overlooks the canal!!!

FINALLY, Mill St is open in Ottawa!!!  The only thing is my visit was comparable to flat beer sitting on the counter for a few days.

Black Rose is the basement pub that's part of the Irish Village pubs.  It's like the crazy uncle that gets hidden and neglected.  On weekends people trickle into here because the rest of the bars are packed.  On most other nights when the rest of…More »

I'm really surprised at the lack of sports bars in Ottawa but when there is an event we try to hit up Hooley's.  They have a bunch of tvs throughout the place and Monday nights they have a good wing special.  The wings aren't the greatest but for 25…More »

When we walked into The Exchange the place was about half to 3/4 full.  A hostess came out and asked…More »

I've really wanted to love this place but I just can't.  They have a nice patio and the inside isn't bad either.  

The breakfast isn't bad but besides that it's just your run of the mill pub food.  The have daily specials and a large tap.

Pub 101 was one of our football sports bars in the market.  That's pretty sad for the market if this was one of our first options to catch games at since it's not really a sports bar.

We come here for the ok priced beer with a large group of friends.…More »
