My bro likes the spicy chicken strips and mini beef tacos. The cream cheese poppers are good. I was surprised with the ultimate adult grilled cheese, it's quite good for bar food. They recently added tuna melts to the menu which I was pleased. You can get the tuna melt with pita bread, regular sourdough bread or as a tortilla wrap. It is my new favorite thing on the menu. The bartender who served us on 12/10 was super friendly and made sure my tuna melt order came out the way I requested. I didn't get her name but thank you for being so helpful!

GREAT prices for good food! I got the Polancic's Tenderloin with the daily cold salad (macaroni…read moresalad), a pickle spear, and a drink- all for only $13! The macaroni salad tasted so good!! I've never had macaroni salad before, but after having it here, it won't be my last time that's for sure. I'm not a huge tenderloin fan, but I know from many people that the Ottawa tenderloins are top tier. Really neat place inside too! They had ping pong, pool, darts, sand volleyball, you name it! The service is why I took a star off. It was very slow unfortunately yet seemed rushed at the table. It also felt like our food was thrown down in front of us. Side Note- they do not have to-go cups which I have never encountered at a restaurant.

Sundays they have build your own bloody bar where you are provided a generous half glass of vodka and ice to start your creation. The only thing I would have liked to see were some pickled mushrooms, but they had a couple kinds of olives, asparagus,okra and pickles so I was happy anyway. Also some horseradish to spice it up. Your mixer was a spicy Clamato and it was delish. Also got a HUGE order of pepper jack cubes and I don't know what kind of magical breading is on them but they stayed warm for a long time , making it so nice to munch on them dipped in ranch. The photo is showing HALF of them gone. I mean WOW !! All in all we will totally be back. Missed breakfast by a few minutes but if it is half as good as it looked cooking in front of us and how it smelled we will be in for a treat. Prices are great as well. Is it a divey bar? Yep. But those are the best !!!

The entire facility was drafty and freezing! Laaaah! It was a cold and rainy evening and to come in and shiver during dinner was not nice. I gave an extra star for the cheese pizza pocket because it was REALLY GOOD. It lasted me three meals it was a huge serving. The crust was perfect and there was a ton of cheese. Not quite enough sauce but I asked for some on the side. My mother got the soup of the day which was broccoli cheese. She also got a cheeseburger which was good. Not sure if we will be back due to the mediocre service.

I was really excited to check this place out after seeing their cocktail menu online, and in some…read moreways it definitely lived up to the hype. The drinks were excellent--well-balanced, creative, and clearly made with skill. There was also a live musician performing during my visit who was amazing and added a great atmosphere and really elevated the overall vibe. Service, however, was a mixed experience. One of the bartenders (a newer female bartender) was very friendly, attentive, and showed a lot of potential--she made a great impression despite seeming a bit new. Unfortunately, the other bartender completely brought the experience down. He came across as rude, disengaged, and honestly like he didn't want to be there at all. I understand it was a busy night, but there was very little sense of urgency from him, and wait times felt longer than they should have been--even factoring in the crowd. That said, I do understand everyone can have an off night, and given how good the drinks and atmosphere were (plus the positive reviews I've seen elsewhere), I'd likely be willing to give it another shot. Overall, great cocktails and ambiance, but inconsistent service keeps it from being a top-tier experience--for now. I will be happy to update following a repeat visit.

We just happened to go there on Taco Tuesday night (yeeeessss tacos and nachos!!!) Yes, it's bar food but it's not bad. For about $20 I fed myself and my husband and we got a lot of food. We ordered two different kinds of quesadillas which came out grilled and melty good with a ton of mozzarella cheese. It was a pretty good sized portion. The nachos and cheese are tortilla chips with a ton of cheese sauce and jalapeños on the side.

The owner and bartender Terry is super friendly and makes you feel like a valued customer. The interior has cool beer signage and the bathrooms are very clean. Good times.
