Have visited this place a few times over the past year & love the decor/atmosphere. I'm not a beer drinker but my husband is & loves the selection. Food is average, some things are good, some are pretty average. I've never had anything bad though. Service is also hit & miss, most of the time it's good but on one... More

Only came once. I was attracted by the large draft beer selection and it didn't dissapoint. The interior isn't fancy. Very much pub like. I won't go back because both my wife and I didn't feel well after we ate and I know it's not the beer.

Incredible atmosphere, gothic and mysterious. With a great beer list. The food is incredible, definitely try the Tasty lil' Bstards. A once a week kind of place!

Back in Ottawa to bring our son home from university and we had the opportunity to visit one of my favourites from Preston Street with friends. My lasagne was excellent with the right amount of spiciness in the meat for me (but for some this might be a surprise). Unfortunately, my wife did not enjoy the veal and my son... More

What can one say. 34 on Tap. Curry Mussels. Local brews. Imported beers for all palates. Excellent end to good day.

Went with a group of 4 couples to celebrate the birthday of one in the group. The mixture of 100s of church artefacts blended in the decor is uniquely interesting.
