Great pool bar with awesome tables. Service can be troublesome at times, but overall I enjoy playing pool here.Their food is also really good.

Lane was the best server I have ever had in my life. I am exiting this bar feeling like I’ve changed as a person. My entire life course has been altered from this day forth. Lane provided me with the love and warmth that my mother didn’t. If every server was closer to Lane, the world would be a better place. I can’t stress enough: if you walk in this door, demand Lane serves you.

Tayte is the absolute best server I have ever had in my entire life. Also Mattie is absolutely incredible and deserves a raise. Overall fantastic experience!

Great place! I really enjoyed playing pool here. First hour is $12 then every minute after the hour is 20cents.The atmosphere is great. The nachos were the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend. The drinks were reasonably priced. Great for a night out

Fantastic service, best wings in town (without exaggeration actually the best wings I've had in Ottawa). Pool tables are in great shape and a good value.Will definitely be returning soon.

An amusing place for hanging out with friends and family.good food and good service.

Ordered the Classic Burger with cheese and bacon… delicious. Super friendly staff. My waiter went out of his way to make sure the Leaf game was on the tv by my table. Recommend 100 per cent. Will be back.

We have been going there for the last 5 years. The staff is really great. The food is so so good.

Very cozy for how large it is. Servers are all amazing. There's a whole back area I didn't know existed too! This is one of my favourite places to go with friends.

The waiter did give me a heads up about the steak being decent not amazing.but for 35$ it was mostly undercooked fat and bland at bestI didnt even ask for money back since I ate the starter and desert but they should have asked at least if I wanted something else or a new cut.Horrible service that way but again the waiter probably didnt understand the proper way to address someone handing back a main course in disappointment
