My friends and I were so excited to spend time at Flora since we had heard so many great things…read moreabout it since we left Ottawa in 2018. Parking was easy to find, and one of the girls even walked over from their place. When we entered, we spent a few minutes in the first room, where it appeared walk-ins could purchase beer to takeaway. We waited to see if we needed to be sat by a server, but, nobody came to check on us, so we meandered past the several men purchasing beer to go. When we made our way up the stairs, passing multiple staff, we were abruptly greeted by a staff member who, was not kind to us. She let us know that we made a mistake by not waiting to be seated, and she seemed quite disgruntled that we had made our way this far. We tried to explain that nobody helped us and that men had covered the sign that she referenced to wait to be seated, and we did not see it. She interrupted and did not let us explain. Finally, she took us to a dark table upstairs. We asked to be moved since it was, very dark, and not the vibe. Thankfully, the server that took care of us was kind, but, we were surprised to not be allowed to order flights. It's a brewery... this should be basic for new guests. But, she was great and allowed us to try tastes of brews before we could order. We were at Flora for a relaxing evening, so our group read our books for an hour or two to decompress after a busy week of travel. I ordered the burger, and, was surprised with how many potatoes were on the side. Given that the burger is at $20, I would recommend removing half of the potatoes to drop the price down a few dollars. Everyone in my group would have ordered one if it had been smaller and cheaper. Again, it was strange that they did not offer any coat hanging area, and, the initial experience here really left a bad taste for us. The one Ottawa local who was with us was shocked at the experience, given that she had been here before, and said that she would not return again.

The kitchen can get a bit slow when it's super busy, but I think it's a size limitation, not a process problem. Luckily they have a good beer and other beverage selection, all of which get delivered quickly, so, hey, my beer is my appetizer. It's a fun music venue. Check the website for what's coming up. The room is rustic and cozy with a well worn floor and carved signatures in the wood tables. Lots of character and charm. In nicer weather there's a pleasant patio off the side. Food is pub fare.

The wooden tables and decor give it a really nice vibe. The beer and food are ordered separately. The bartender was really nice and gave good insight into their beers and their specials. My wife and I each ordered a pint. The marzen was great, it was nice to have as it is generally hard to find this beer style. I can't recall the other beer we got but it was a bit higher abv, but still had malty flavor. The food was a hit too. We got the pretzel and the schnitzel platter. I was a bit confused by the cranberry, but it worked really well with the meat. It was a pretty large portion, perfect for sharing. We opted for the salad instead of fries, and it was a good choice. Fresh greens and lightly dressed, perfect on a hot day. The schnitzel was well cooked, nice and tender for the most part, though the ends were a bit over cooked and chewy. Mixing the lemon and cranberry on it was delightful, but the schnitzel was quite good on its own. The person cooking was really friendly and made sure we were taken care of.

If you're just going for drinks its hard to imagine you'd be disappointed. The food was also quite good; they make good use of the smoker. The main reason I had knock it down a bit was the very indifferent and even irritated service we got. We came around 830 on a Saturday night and it was very clear the few staff wanted us to go; they started putting things away quickly creating a lot of noise, were very slow to take our orders, rarely came by to see how we were doing and didn't create a welcome atmosphere.
