Got married here 🙂 Dave, Laura, Meg were exceptional, attentive, good natured and lots of fun!! They helped make our wedding go smoothly.

PS shoutout to Cheryl and thank you so much for the tea set.

Great vibes. Reminds me of a Toronto King Street bar but in Ottawa. Hipster crowd. Went on a day with live DJ pumping our tracks. A+ would recommend.

Great vibe in there and cocktails! They have very light snacks and hot dogs but the ambience is the most unique part. It does get very humid inside so I would recommend the patio. They have games you can play too and everything on the walls is for sale.

From Montreal and took a drive to Ottawa! Went in for a drink and ended up with a whole experience. It was Monday game night, busy and the amazing staff still managed to accommodate us. I wish I could remember the staffs names. But whoever works on Monday – they’re amazing!!!

We had the most delicious hot dog ever, the snacks were as on point as the drinks,
I tried both of the mules on their menu and they did not disappoint. My friends were super excited there were beans in the Cesar!

If you’re looking for something casual & fun with really good drinks this is your spot!

Great place for cocktails and a drink with friends! Had the “mommy’s little secret” -gin, radler, grenadine, which was delicious and very refreshing. Did not have any food but there was a food menu available. Its a consignment bar so all the decor is available for sale, the interior is really cute. Will definitely be coming back 🙂
