Really an upscale restaurant but with a small drinking area. Food very good. Reasonable selection of local micros.

saw 15 taps, with at least 12 craft. As good as anything in Ottawa with of course Beaus right through to Guelph offerings.

My wifes fav eatery. Artsy bistro ambiance with local artwork and music. Service is typically more hit than miss, and beer knowledge varies depending on server. Beer selection is okay not a huge variety but they focus on micro Ontario beers and better macro varietys (Creemore, McAuslan, Griffon). Food is excellent, eclectic inspired maybe a little pricy though (ditto for the beer). Still one of the better spots in the Market though.

Great food, the service was spotty i got a hassle for wanting to sit outside on a beautiful sunday afternoon in June.....what is up with that? The beer selection was lacking the lineup was a unimpressive, the 3 beers i wanted were either no longer carried, or they ran out. THe menu was obviously old. Meh, i dont see myself goijng back.

Visited this small but spaciously arranged restaurant and bar back in October when it was fairly busy on a cold weekend lunch break. Friendly service brought some delicious cheesy chicken sandwiches and tasty brews to our table where we munched away and listened to the good selection of music playing. Selection is decent and the place is in a good location for the market nearby.

Établissement visité le samedi 18 novembre vers 11h30. Ambiance: Très jolie petit resto. Exposition de photographie contemporaine sur les murs. Belle cours intérieure accessible l’été. Musique soul / jazz en sourdine. Service: Excellent service autant du côté de la nourriture que de la bière. On m’a proposé des bières qui n’étaient pas sur le menu. Sélection: Une quinzaine de bières en fût disponible. Des microbrasseries ontariennes (Steam Whistle, Amsterdam, Mill St, Beau’s, Creemore, Wellingon et Church Key), des macros européennes (Kronenbourg, Guiness et Kilkeny) et presque toute la gamme des produits McAuslan. Nourriture: Le choix d’entrée est très diversifié et nous avons opté pour la quesadillas au poulet et les chicken curry filos. Le mariage entre le curi et la mangue était fabuleux. Comme plat principaux nous avons opté pour le "From Philly to Ottawa beef sandwich" et le "Cajun chicken et cheddar melt". Le tout était servis avec une petite salade et des pommes de grelot rouge. (35e rating d’établissement)

Cozy bohemian-yuppy interior is cooler than that makes it sound, on the small side but pleasantly so. Racks of CDs just inside the door briefly make you question if you walked in the right door! Staff was friendly and helpful – even fetching a phone book and helping decipher my Ottawa tourist map. Some menu items can be on the pricier side if you are on a budget as I was, but it is all reasonably priced, and probably a bargain compared to other places in the market. Both me and my girlfriend ordered the Cajun Chicken Cheddar melt which was served on a huge piece of “Texas Toast” like fresh bread, large chunks of chicken and solid cheddar. I’d order it again, but would likely ask to drop the wee side salad in favour of the lovely potatoes. Tap list is nothing Ontarians will drool over, but has a serviceable list of Ontario micros (Church Key, Scotch Irish) and some McAuslan products. Go for the food and a tasty pint. Would definitely return.

Oops, never rated this haunt! A small restaurant that happens to have a decent selection of micro beers. Worthy of note: Durham Hop Addict, Wellies, our local Beau’s, Tank House, Creemore and the 5 McAuslans available on tap: Cream, Pale Ale, Stout, Abricot and the 2 Griffons. Menu and beers are pricey, but I enjoy a pint there once in while, when shopping in the ByWard Market.

A nice dinner spot in the market. The place itself was bistro like, but certainly not upscale or anything (it was just a big open room that looked cluttered to be honest). The patio looked lovely however. The beer selection was good on tap - lots of Ontario and Quebec micro’s. I didn’t even look at the bottle list if there was one. The food was good - they offered a more than adequate cheese plate. The menu was eclectic - nothing jumped out at us as must or obvious tries right away but spend some time with it, it is worth the effort. The service was friendly, but everyone appeared to be sweaty middle aged guys who were probably the owners - the type of hard working guys who probably did every job there - which is great, but not necessarily great for service (I’m trying to say some uniformly dressed attractive women would have been better in this atmosphere). Overall, we had a really nice dinner and I will be back whenever I am in Ottawa. And I didn’t even get to shop for the cd’s for sale on the far wall...
