We visited the pub by accident, walked in during Canada Day trying to escape the rain. Service Ok but food/snacks horrible. Please do not try the fried pickles.

For me, it seemed like a no brainer to get their beer taster option, which allows you to sample all of their beers, some of them seasonal and most of them delicious. The food was better than expected. The Bytown meatloaf was great and filled me up. The wild boar poutine and tacos are a real treat. If you like beer and comfort food then you'll enjoy your visit. It can get noisy and busy, but that's a sign of a successful business and good eats!
