Good bar food and decent prices ! We went here before the wine festival and it was a pretty good time and prices were reasonable. Our waitress was really attentive and helpful. 4 star bar because it’s nothing out of the ordinary

A great sports bar, with the best selection of beers in Ottawa. If you’re a craft beer fan, you’ll definitely find something you like here – and it’s a great place to watch a game. And the prices are great!

This is the bar for the younger crowd. This is where you will find the younger people on the weekends and it gets really packed. Ottawa is a small tight knit crowd so pretty much everyone here knows of each other and if you are not a part of that community they will know it. I am not saying you won’t be welcomed in but you will be noticed as not one of their own. That said this is still a lively bar and if you get there early enough you can get a seat and enjoy yourself. I can’t say there is anything special about this bar but I also can not say there is anything really bad about this bar either.

Stopped for lunch and a beer after a long bike ride on the I&M Canal. Some good beer choices on tap(like Revolution Anti-Hero) and reasonable salad bar. Our food was tasty pub food(fish sandwich for me, BLT for my wife) and the onion rings she got were well done.

Stopped in on a beautiful Tuesday night and sat outside. Serve was great and the prices are really fair. Tuesday night they had a 2.50 burger special which was really good. This was the 2nd time I have been there and I like it.

Stopped last Sunday after riding by many times on our motorcycles to check it out. The Pro. cold beer. The Cons sticky table. they said due to coating on the top, new cook in training. overcooked and saturated onion rings, burger mix up .good waitress should know the difference between quarter and half pound burger and not try to pass it off when order goes to another table. No credit cards… glad we over heard and had cash… don’t care for the independent atms that charge high fees. The homemade chips were good but the philly cheese steak onions and green peppers were black… had to pick it apart to eat. oh yeah.cook in training I forgot! Lastly they bring your check and tell you to go to the bar and pay, place was empty and had to stand and wait while to be acknowledged while the presumed owner or manager sat there clueless munching his salad. Waste of time and money and won’t be bringing the group back we ride with… a shame because it could be a nice place.

Definitely not going back! Ordered an appetizer with a variety of fried foods. It came burnt but when my friends ate the mushrooms they were still frozen inside. The waitress did replace the order when I said the mushrooms were frozen. Only good part of the time there. Three hamburgers were ordered and all three were burnt on one side, hot dog and philly cheese were not very good and the one order of a grilled cheeses sandwich came 5 minutes after all the other orders were received. I had to ask twice for the tomatoe and lettuce for my burger and the buns for all orders were not very good. We decided Jimmy Johns will be better choice next time!

I agree with a poster below, if you’re just drinking its a cool place with decent specials, but food wise you’re better off going to McDonalds. We went here for dinner on a Friday night, and ordered mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. They came out and were sort of burnt and the cheese was coming out the sides. They had been in the fryer too long. Didn’t bother to send back. I had a burger and fries — the burger wasn’t anything memorable but tasted ok. The fries were crispy but you could tell the grease was old because they had a funny gross taste. My husband had a chicken wrap which was the same as the burger — ok but forgettable. I will say the waitress was very good — fast and attentive. The place was clean too which was a plus. Probably wouldn’t eat here again. Also, they do NOT accept credit/debit cards.

If all you want to do is drink beer it’s ok. If you want to eat save your money and go to McDonalds.

Only drank here. Not sure if they have a waitress or not, but ordered from the bar and the sat down. Pretty nice location and a bunch of choices on draft especially some you don’t see many places. Thought they were high in price for the area.

Seemed like an OK place but the info above is wrong, they DONOT take credit cards. It is a CASHONLY bar, which sucks in 2013. When I visited the waitress pretty much partied with her friends but I got a beer when I wanted one. Only ral complaint is the stupid CASHONLY policy. Prepare to pay ATM fees when you go here.

If you only carry plastic this place is not for you, however they do have a ATM on location. I have been here on some brief occasions through out the years, if it was closer to my house I would stop in more frequently, the food is good quality and they have a full kitchen, an upstairs banquet room, and a large selection of drinks. I have even been able to order some specialty drinks and the bartenders have been very accommodating. There is nothing note worthy that makes JJ’s jump off the page & non acceptance of credit cards can be a bit of a turn off.

Stopped for a light lunch. Good selection of beers on tap. The bartender was filling in for a friend and was pretty clueless about a lot of things, but he was more than willing to explain that and he did know how to pour a Guiness. Good tv’s and friendly atmosphere. The oak paneling and copper were impressive. I would stop in again if I were in the area.
