Dominion City Brewing Co.

One of the best, if not the best, craft breweries in Ottawa. Whatever style you like, Dominion likely has it. IPAs are a strength (Sunsplit is a cloudy classic widely available in local establishments that care about beer). They make non-alcoholic selzers too. Thursdays through the weekend (and sometimes other days), there’s usually food brought in from local suppliers. Considering the industrial location, the tree house, beer garden, and taproom are very pleasant.

Nice looking brewpub in an out of the way spot with not much ambiance and pretty quiet on a Friday afternoon. The bartender was nice and efficient. I was kinda surprised that the saison I ordered wasn’t on draft but served from a bottle. Either way, it was delicious, but maybe a tad expensive. Tax and tip was included in the price however, which is fine by me. They had a lovely beer garden outside that seemed like a little oasis in this industrial hellhole, but it was way too hot outside, even with no AC I preferred being inside. I don’t recall seeing a food menu, anyway I was just in for a beer, which was pretty good.

Absolutely fantastic amazing spot to be. Dominion City Brewery isn’t just a brewery; it’s an experience! From the moment you step in, you’re enveloped in an atmosphere that’s both lively and welcoming. Their tap list is a rotating symphony of innovative and perfectly crafted beers, ensuring there’s always something new and exciting to discover. Whether you’re a hop-head, a sour fanatic, or prefer a crisp lager, their mastery shines through in every pour. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate, making every visit feel like a personalized journey through the world of craft beer. And let’s not forget the incredible events and vibrant community spirit that make this place truly stand out. It’s fantastic and easily one of Ottawa’s absolute gems!

One of our go to places we have frequented for years. One of the best if not the best craft breweries in Ottawa. A great selection of beer styles with new beers coming in regularly. My personal favourite is the barrel aged imperial stout, Between Two Evils but also a great selection of IPAs!
Tasty snacks and regularly have great guest pop-up restaurants. Nice atmosphere, friendly, the patio is lovely in summer.
Also a great to go selection in the store!

Finally had a chance to visit my most favourite Ottawa based micro-brew and enjoyed every moment! Went with my family for a pancake fundraiser they held in support of a local foodbank, and was pleasantly surprised of the extensive indoor seating area, friendly staff and organic environment. They also have a neat store with interesting merchandise, capacity to host parties, brewery tours, and have an ongoing beer + book club! Happy to support and give 5-stars to such a business 🍻
