Moose McGuire’s

Live music (on Saturdays). Great service. Good prices. Good menu and great food. A nice pub style restaurant with a good atmosphere.
Their pizza is amazing; it’s almost like a deep dish but not really. Still great. I think Wednesday’s is Pizza night you can get a great deal.
Sometimes they’re host to Trivia contests and other games.

This was my first time at Moose’s and I’m sorry that it took me so long to try it. I had a mushroom burger with fries. Big delicious and worth the price ($ 14). There is a good beer selection but several weren’t available, so I had a Moosehead. My wife enjoyed fish n’ chips and she’s hard to please because she’s such a great cook. Service was friendly, accurate and well-​timed. I will «do a MacArthur» and return.

Today I am writing about the Almonte location. We went as a sort of Hail Mary, as every other restaurant that has been in this location (including JR’s — featured on «You Gotta Eat Here») has been awful. So, perhaps it is the location that is cursed — cuz this joint sucks too. The day we went they were out of fries, after our server had told us «we are really known for our fries». I respectfully pointed out that the are right beside a grocery store, to which we told that staff had called in sick and there was only 1 person in the back of house (cook, prep chef or dishwasher — your guess is as good as ours) and thus no one available to go to the store. We asked why the Manager on duty couldn’t go to which we were told there was no Manager on site. Oh but they have carriage rides this weekend — that will help! Almonte, support local — local that care enough to have a Manager on site to not only hear your issues but to go and get some freakin potatoes!

One of the best hearty pizzas I’ve ever had. Never thought I would find it at a random pub in Almonte! I would stop by Almonte again just for the pizza.

Decent food, fun juke box, amazing service especially when. Steph is working
Bartenders have a good memory and good conversation, cute little skirts I still want to buy one haha.
Prices are good especially pitchers the draft menu changed and isn’t as good I miss when they had Canadian but that’s ok since I no longer drink
Environment is that of the neighbourhood kind of wild with weird mixes of people but that makes for fun haha

It’s a lounge, it’s a restaurant, it’s a live music venue, it’s a sports bar. No, it’s Mooooooose McGuire’s!!!
How they have managed to make it all these things is beyond me. But do it, they have. At any given moment you can move around the place and the atmosphere changes.
Not the most handicap friendly, but the staff sure do try to accommodate. I have to say the staff make your visit more than just a meal. They are friendly but not intrusive. They have opinions about their favourite choices and are not afraid to tell you.
My dining partners that evening ordered the Fish and Chips, the BBQ Bacon Burger and I had the Beef Dip Sandwich because I had heard it was awesome. They were right.
The burger was hand made on the spot and we were told it would take a few more minutes than the other entrées. Nice touch. It was a towering piece of heaven which included a huge onion ring on it.
The fish (Haddock) was nice and crisp and the fish flaky and not overdone. They have a special cole slaw made with red cabbage that they serve. I sneaked a little taste and it was really good. There was an ingredient in the dressing that I couldn’t quite put my finger on, but it «made» the slaw. Not your standard side dish afterthought.
The Beef Dip came and was a little larger than I anticipated. Filled with shaved melt-​in-​your-​mouth beef. The Dip was flavourful and not too greasy. Perfect for dipping.
2 out of 3 of us loved the fries; the one is particularly fussy about her food. But she loved the fish and the cole slaw, which is saying something.
One should note that their coffee is exceptionally strong. Great for those of us that like it that way.
All in all we will be going back. There is enough on their menu to keep me happily trying their fare for quite some time.

My friend and I decided to take a study break and get some burgers. We wanted to try somewhere new and Moose McGuire’s was nearby. The restaurant has more of a local bar/​pub vibe. When we arrived almost everyone was in the bar section and we had to stand there awkwardly for a few minutes before someone came to seat us in the dining room section. There were lots of TVs which would have been nice if there was a game on for sure! (Strike one, they were showing broadcasts of Maple Leafs news! haha!) Our waitress was really sweet and polite. I ordered a Swiss and Mushroom burger with fries. I wasn’t expecting much to be honest, but it was surprisingly delicious! The burger was cooked to medium, served with mushrooms and Emmenthal cheese. It was one of my favorites in Ottawa so far. I will most likely visit this bar again, probably during a game!
