One of Ottawa's remaining original taverns. Some may describe this place on the corner of Parkdale and Armstrong as "gritty", but really it's just a place for regular working-class joes and janes, which is what makes it so attractive. The staff are friendly and unpretentious as the patrons tend to be as well. Food is simple but yummy. Some of their "home-cooked" dishes like meatloaf and the likes are very good. Beer comes in quart bottles by default. Live music is usually pretty good on the weekends. It's a really great atmosphere if you like taverns.

This place is for drinking, and I mean, really drinking. The food is just to blot up all the alcohol!

I've been meaning to comment on their pizza for a while now (I've been an infrequent regular for years now, if that makes any sense?)... this pizza is waaay different than anything else in Ottawa. First, the crust: not super doughy, not super thin. Second, the sauce: kind of savoury, like most lebanese pizza joints in Ottawa. Third, the cheese: it's cheap, standard mozza, but the special twist is that they put this herbed oil or butter on top of the cheese which gives it a really unique flavour. Fourth, toppings: standard toppings, nothing fancy or high quality here, this is The C. Overall, a great pizza to soak up the suds! Oh, and it's pretty affordable too, like most things off the menu here.

Don't expect anything special here - just your standard big-brand offerings from Molson and Labatt. By default they serve quart bottles, which is kind of neat.
