Labelled the oldest bar in Canada, I was hoping for the interior to have a bit of character. Unfortunately, the interior is pretty bland and "divey". We went early Saturday evening, which is a primer for the live music / DJ event that most likely happened long after we left. A mixed crowd of young and old. The interior is a bit tight.We had the bobo balls (deep fried sausage balls) and the poutine which you can have smoked meat added at no charge. The poutine was quite good, with lots of cheese curds. The bobo balls are a hard pass. The place has a good beer selection.

It gets 3 stars because it had a great scotch that I love. The outside is nice but the inside has a major identity crisis, is it a dive bar or a historical landmark???

Update: favorite pub in Ottawa I've been walking by this pub for almost 15 years. Finally stopped in and fell in love. Great drinks and amazing sweet potato fries, and wings. The before and after photos should speak more than a thousand words. It is much bigger than it looks from the outside. And a great little place to people watch. Highly recommended.

Amazing vibe. Great live music. Everyone was having a good time. If I ever come back to Ottawa I will definitely be coming back for a drink.

The original Ottawa gem when it comes to dive bars. The staff are fast and friendly, late night snacks are hot and crispy, and their generous with their servings. It's a fun place for sure.

The dive part of the bar ain't so quaint upon visiting upstairs in rooming "house" cells upstairs...

A good place to hangout with your friends. The prices are reasonable and the live music performance was like a cherry on the top.
