Cocktails are amazing but food is tidy tiny. The plates are overpriced for small portions.

The drink menu was decent, so I’ll give it that credit. Choice of alcohols could have been better though, the bourbon wasn’t that great.
For criticism I will start from walking in the door… After looking around trying to find it in the first place. A group of smokers were literally standing blocking the doorway, I didn’t even see it at first. When I mentioned it to the staff they sounded confused and didn’t seem to care.
Overall ambiance was meh. It was very loud and over crowded. The row of small tables were only about 6″ apart, barely enough room to squeeze through, especially during winter months with big coats.
Also huge note: this is very much a hipster bar, which was disappointing given the video game theme of the building and décor. On that note, it was hard to tell the difference between the bar staff and the guests with the way they were dressed.
It wasn’t a bad place, but it was a tad pricey and loud. I probably will never go again any time soon.

Cute new spot in Ottawa with a great choice of tartar and signature cocktails organized by alcohol strength. Try the rooftop for some ambiance. I enjoyed my bombay gin cocktail with cardamon. Great and friendly wait staff.

Great place for a light dinner and drinks or just drinks. The drink menu is bored from a place I’ve been to in Quebec City (L’Atelier) and they are inventive and delicious. Menu has create your own tartar and truffle fries– recommended. The décor is cool too. Our waiter and bartender were friendly and handled our group of 8 with no issues. My friend had the burger said it was great. If I go back to Ottawa I wanna try the rooftop next time.

The drink menu is amazing. I had a couple Jack Sparrows and they were great. The best way to describe it would be a lime vanilla rum and coke. The bartender was also very nice and recommended that drink to me. I highly recommend going for patio drinks if you’re in the market.

We stopped in for a light lunch. We tried the roof top, but it was a bit too warm for us, so we went downstairs. The music was loud, but the graciously turned it down. We both had tuna tartar with Asian spices. WOW! It was fabulous.
