Bar located inside Queen street fare. It hosts live music as well since it is located inside Queen Street fare. ( While good initiative , the bar service is usually terrible as the barman is rude and unapologetic to all questions when you are at the location. Other female waiting staff at bar and cleaning staff are all friendly and communicative. What a shame that they had hired such a rude bar service staff. Furthermore, while a great initiative to have live music at this location, it’s acoustic is terrible. When sitting in the audience , it pop Carrie’s too much echo and rebound in the air and it destroys the music experience. They should do something about the ceiling or bad sound. It really reduces the live music experience otherwise can be great. Finally, although cafeteria style, the drinks are a rip off. Expensive to say the least. A glass of beer after taxes is close to $12…. Plus tips …do try to be here before 7 pm weekday to benefit their cheaper drinks ….. which is almost same price as most establishments on regular time. Overall, central location but the bar service is horrific by the main barman and price is gauging ….. will definitely think three times more before I would come...
Read moreThe best cafe I’ve been to in a while. This gem is hidden in the Queen Street Fare food hall which is across the street from my workplace and everyone at work was raving about their food and coffee so I had to try it out. Having sampled quite a few things on their menu now, it’s safe to say it’s my new favourite place for my morning coffee.
The staff is so friendly and a great pick me up in the morning. Their coffee is amazing, and I’ve been loving the fun combinations like their Nesquik Cafe or Fruit Loop London Fog. Don’t even get me started on the Breakfast sandwich, it’s Ottawa’s best for sure. Finish off your meal with a pastry or donut and you’re full and happy for the rest of your shift. If you’re not running to work, I recommend sitting at the tables inside and basking in the glow of their neon robot sign.
10/10 would recommend this place to a friend...
Read moreA small-ish but cozy joint. I've only been once on a quiet evening but it was excellent. Bartender who served us is an OUTSTANDING mixologist and human alike (not robotic by any means). Decor is unique and vibe is good. Music was great also. I've only set foot in this building once before when it was the venue before (Raw Sugar) and didn't care for quiche I had so you can imagine my excitement when I heard it's licensed.. Glad it's redefined and a complete change of scenery now! It's right at the beautiful Chinese gate which marks the entry to chi-town. Keep it up! Lovely place, lovely staff,...
