The staff were friendly and made very good drinks. The bands were good and loud. Definitely a chill place to hang out, with some cool artwork strewn about. They also have pool tables on non live show nights :). I'll definitely add this to my bar crawl list. Definitely a dingy metal head kind of place and that's said with love! If you want upscale and snobby, Definitely not for you lol.

Sussex & Co. - A New Ottawa Gem Worth Every Bite and Sip…read more We had the pleasure of visiting Sussex & Co. last night to celebrate Mother's Day early with an evening date night -- and what an experience it was! From the get-go, communication with the restaurant was seamless. I reached out via social media requesting a booth, and not only did they respond within minutes, but they followed up with a phone call confirming the reservation. That level of service before we even arrived set the tone for the night. The anticipation was real -- their social media teasers had us excited -- and they delivered. The design of the space is simply stunning. Warm tones and classy touches give it a cozy yet elegant vibe. The main bar is a showstopper with its extensive liquor selection. I was on the hunt for a tequila I'd never tried, and the bartender delivered -- an excellent pick, delicious and reasonably priced. Now for the food: We started with oysters and the burrata. The oysters were fresh, flavourful, and the rosé vinaigrette was a standout touch. The burrata was rich and creamy, and we loved being able to choose the bread it came with -- a small detail that made a big difference. For mains, my wife had the steak frites -- a surprise hit. Incredible flavour and an unbeatable price. I had the ribeye (medium rare) with dauphinoise potatoes, and let me say this: I've eaten at every top steakhouse in Ottawa, and this was hands-down the best steak in the city. Perfectly cooked, beautifully marbled, and seasoned like a dream. The potatoes? The bomb. We kicked things off with a couple of cocktails -- an off-menu espresso martini and a whiskey-vermouth martini-style drink. Both on point. The wine list impressed us too. The GM personally offered pairing advice and introduced us to a bottle so good, we ordered a second. Too full for dessert -- a rarity -- we ended our night in their hidden speakeasy. This space is jaw-dropping. Intimate, stylish, and full of charm. We capped the night with an expertly crafted old fashioned, the perfect end to a perfect evening. Special shout-out to our server Brianna -- despite it being their second night open, she knew the menu inside and out and guided us like a seasoned pro. Sussex & Co. is a must-visit. If you appreciate top-tier service, an incredible culinary experience, and a beautifully designed space, go now... and then go again. We're already planning our next visit.

Ok - so the Hubs and I found this place ( thanks to friends) and I'm glad we did!…read moreService was great, atmosphere was great, food was very good - although all we had were wings. The bartender/owner was excellent, more than happy to answer all questions and make friendly recommendations. We tried the garlic parm, spicy maple, raquette river pub and hoopie toopie. All were very good. If you like a different spin, try the spicy maple, I really liked it. Lots of beer choices. No problem there. If you're a beer and wings person, this is a stop for you. We haven't tried their other menu items but will come back and try their brunch, it sounds delicious!!

If you are in a hurry not the place to go. We waited over an hour and a half to get our appetizer…read more Less than 5 minutes later came our meal. Unbeknownst to us we were charged for our drink refills which we wouldn't have needed if it didn't take so long for our food. We asked to substitute onion rings for food and asked if it was like fries or tots additional $2.50. When bill arrived it was an additional $6.24. After we were done eating we asked how much longer for our to go meal which we ordered when we got our food. By the time waitress got back to us it'd be another 20 minutes. Of course, we cancelled. Also, didn't have fried cheese curd available. Morgan was very pleasant and the atmosphere was fun with music bingo. Ask if we would go back???, absolutely not. Guess we should have gone to 5 guys.

We can buy their beers in numerous stores now but a trip to the brewery is worth it, they are very generous with the free samples so you are certain to bring home something you like.
