What User likes about The Dominion Tavern:
I have been getting obscenely intoxicated in this lovely venue for almost twenty years now. I no longer live in the city, but I do try to be shambolic at least once a year. The chip shack next door has better food, but the toxic pickled eggs are always recommended. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Dominion Tavern:
I go to Dominion Tavern for the right priced beer (especially the "tall ones"), good service with a smile and the patio at the back. People there are relaxed and welcoming. Pool tables available (2 or 3 tables I believe). Bathroom downstairs It's no luxurious...More View all feedback.

You won't get a more authentic Ottawa dive bar experience than the Dominion Tavern. It has either two coin operated pool tables or a live band. Awesome spot.

Great little diving bar, Ottawa stack for punk rock and flowing taps!

Large bottles of 50, pickled eggs and pool in Ottawa's best diving bar!

I spent about a decade there when I lived in Ottawa. Too much Coca cola now though.

Get beer here. At this location they have pool tables and a sweet patio in the back. A great place to kick back and knock back some brews with friends. Come thi...
