Worst restaurant experience in my 55 years. Forty-five minute wait to get our food and when it does come, it's hardly edible. Our overly friendly waiter, starts with stating his name. "I'm Shawn, if you need anything I'm your waiter". Myself and one of my dinner companions order the Thai Peanut Bowl, and the third dinner companion order a hamburger. The Thai Peanut bowl had noodles so hard that they were stuck together and not edible. The only mixed vegetables in the Thai bowl was a few green onions. Our waiter, Shawn, quickly came by to ask how the food was, when my dinner companion said the noodles were hard, he just walking past the table and only returned to give us the bill. I left a $6 tip on a $68.93 bill. I should not have left any tip. I, nor will my dinner companions, return to the Clocktower Pub!

My wife and I really liked the atmosphere here and thought the fries and desserts were delicious. The only glitch was our server kept changing so there was some confusion but all well in the end. Nice people here!

live music, good food having an excellent time

Absolutely awful. Awful service. Awful food. Was in town with my family. Thought their menu looked decent.We ordered the onion soup, the spicy peanut bowl, the kids grilled chicken and fries, and the perogies. They took the soup off our bill. Looked pretty but It literally tasted like brown onion water. Chicken was dry no BBQ sauce like the menu stated. The server argued with me about the welcome plate children get with their meal. Than charged me $2.50 for my two year olds side of gravy that she didn't remember to get after being reminded twice until my son hadd 4 fries left. Perogies were flavorless and soggy, bacon was fatty, the peanut bowl my cousin had was terrible. Way over sauced and we like saucy. All in all Awful meal and will not be recommending or returning when in Ottawa. And too think all I wanted was a good soup and pub food.

Nice atmosphere. Staff are friendly and outgoing. Not overly busy during the day so nice place to visit with friends and chat over food and drinks. The craft beers on tap are excellent. The calamari and burgers were very good as well. Definitely recommend if you are in the area looking for craft beers and food.

Paid street parking available around the pub. Nice atmosphere. Staff are very friendly and outgoing. Not overly busy during the day so nice place to visit with friends and be able to talk over a few drinks and food. The craft beers on tap are very good. The calamari and burgers were excellent. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Tay was our server... It was my mom and I's first night out since lock down and this is exactly what we were hoping for. Such a breath of fresh air to have a small town vibe from a big city restaurant. 10/5 stars. We will definitely return. Side note: the fish tacos are to die for.

We had an amazing service last night and the beers and food was delicious!!! Thanks a lot ?

Good service but food was sub par and they gave me the worst Caesar I've ever had for $8. Watered down, too much ice, no garnish, barely salted rim, not spicy at all. Also they don't have a cocktail menu. And they're menu says that they have Somersby but they don't.

Just stopped in for drinks and to watch the hockey game. Server was by herself and did a great job taking care of everyone. Locals all seemed to like the place
