D'Arcy McGees
(Nightlife - Live Music)
44 Sparks St, Ottawa  K1P 5A8 • 613-230-4433
Distance: ~194 m *
        Description: AIRPORT - YOW. 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 1868, just a few short paces away. The pub boasts excellent selections of single-malt scotches and Irish whiskeys, as well as all the standard ales. A full Irish menu is available, including such traditional favorites as Guinness steak, shepherd's pie, Finnegan's Fry and corned beef and cabbage.

Zaphod Beeblebrox
(Nightlife - Dance Clubs)
27 York St, ByWard Market, Ottawa  K1N 9J6 • 613-562-1010
Distance: ~325 m *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Fans will instantly recognize the name. For the rest of us: Zaphod Beeblebrox is a character in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, a dude so cool (and popular) that he now has a bar named after him. The place is great for live music – mostly indie / alternative bands, local and international – but it's a fun place to hang out for an evening, too. They have a good selection of draught beer, plus cocktails like the "Pan Galactic Gargleblaster" (another book reference). Performers who have appeared here include Superchunk, Bettie Seveert, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Our Lady Peace, Jewel, Southern Culture on the Skids, Nickelback and Fishbone.

Distance: ~359 m *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. 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 area is a great place to kick back and take in the day's events.
