Cheshire Cat

Address: 2193 Richardson Side Rd, Carp, ON

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )    |    Add to a Suitcase

Set in an 1870s-era schoolhouse, the Cheshire Cat looks for all the world like a traditional British pub. The food and beer menus, too, are reminiscent of what you might find in a public house across the pond, although you'll also find some local microbrews on the list. And the clientele includes not a few Brit...

D'Arcy McGees

Address: 44 Sparks St, Ottawa, ON K1P 5A8

User rating: User Rating and Review ( Rate It! )    |    Add to a Suitcase

Ottawa's favorite Irish Pub, with an interior crafted in and imported from the Emerald Isle itself, is a terrific place to visit and soak up a little local color and history (not to mention a pint or two). After all, namesake D'Arcy McGee, the "Father of Confederation," was assassinated on nearby Sparks Street in...

Earl Of Sussex Pub

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )    |    Add to a Suitcase

Ottawa doesn't lack for British and Irish pubs. The Earl of Sussex ranks among the best, with over 30 beers on draught and a huge patio on which to wile away summer afternoons. Great pub food (fish and chips, steak-and-kidney pie) keeps taste buds and stomachs happy. Live music on weekends makes the already fun...

Irish Village

Address: 67 Clarence St, ByWard Market, Ottawa, ON K1N 5P5

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )    |    Add to a Suitcase

Irish Village is actually a collection of bars at ByWard Market, each with its own take on the traditional British or Irish pub. The Heart and Crown, Mother McGintey's, the Snug Pub and Roisin Dubh share a kitchen (which turns out reliably good pub grub) and all have street-facing patios, which are packed during warm...

New Edinburgh Pub

Address: 1 Beechwood Ave, Ottawa, ON K1M1M2

User rating: ( Be the first to Rate It. )    |    Add to a Suitcase

With its big rooftop terrace (the largest in town) and great views over the Rideau River, the New Edinburgh has many loyal fans. Add to that several big screen TVs, a great selection of import beers and microbrews, and satisfying pub grub and it's no wonder the place gets packed. If you're not looking for a full meal,...

Patty Boland's Irish Pub & Carvery

Address: 101 Clarence St, Ottawa, ON K1N 5P5

Ottawa has plenty of choice when it comes to Irish-style pubs. The two-story Patty Boland's has ample space, with fireplaces, cozy corners and two patios. The food menu runs the gamut, from fish and chips to elegant salads to rack of lamb. There are a couple dozen draught beers, plus a bunch of bottles, so you should...

Pub Italia

Here's an interesting twist on the pub. Known as Canada's first Italian pub, it opened in 1994 and has been popular ever since. Choose from 36 draught beers (over 200 beers in all), 13 by-the-glass wines and 16 brands of scotch. Enjoy a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, a pizza, or one of eight different preparations...

The Black Thorn

One of the town's top public houses, Blackthorn encourages patrons to relax and enjoy its homey charm and laidback atmosphere. On game nights, it's not uncommon to find the place crowded with execs who are counting on the Blackthorn's famous "pub grub" to sustain them through the night. In the warmer months, the patio...

The Manx

Address: 370 Elgin, Ottawa, ON K2P 1N1

User rating: User Rating and Review ( Rate It! )    |    Add to a Suitcase

This subterranean pub has a huge fan base, thanks to its exceptional food, wide-ranging list of beers and scotches, and lively, artistic atmosphere. The curried mutton wrap earns raves, but vegetarians will be quite pleased with their options as well. Sunday brunch is stellar, and changing local art adorns the walls....
