10Best Pub
D'Arcy McGees
(Nightlife - Pub)
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.

The Black Thorn
(Nightlife - Pub)
15 Clarence St, ByWard Market, Ottawa  K1N 5P4 • 613-241-0712
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.

Earl Of Sussex Pub
(Nightlife - Pub)
431 Sussex Dr, Ottawa  K1N 7B1 • 613-562-5544 • 613-317-1866
Distance: ~448 m *
        Description: AIRPORT - YOW. 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 atmosphere even more so.

Heart and Crown
(Nightlife - Pub)
67 Clarence St, ByWard Market, Ottawa  K1N 5P5 • 613-562-0674 • 613-789-4928
Distance: ~457 m *
        Description: The place Ottawans head to when they are in need of the tender touch of the Emerald Isle, the cozy Heart and Crown is one of the city's top pubs. In the warmer months, their cobblestone courtyard is often crowded with a steady mix of locals and tourists. In the winter, especially, there are few better ways to warm your bones than by enjoying such traditional Irish specialties as homemade shepherd's pie or hearty lamb stew. The pub features live Irish music nightly.

Irish Village
(Nightlife - Pub)
67 Clarence St, ByWard Market, Ottawa  K1N 5P5 • 613-562-0674
Distance: ~457 m *
        Description: 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 weather. Live music is scheduled several nights a week at The Heart and Crown and Mother McGintey's.

Chez Lucien
(Nightlife - Pub)
137 Murray St, Ottawa  K1N 5M7 • 613-241-3533
Distance: ~0.645 km *
        Description: BYWARD MARKET. An extremely popular spot in the ByWard Market, Chez Lucien is a pub with a difference. The atmosphere is fantastically welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the food takes "pub grub" to the next level. The menu is short but sweet and specialty burgers are the highlight; and everything is wonderfully fresh and well-prepared. There's a good selection of microbrews and wines, and the jukebox (free!) has probably the most eclectic array of tunes in town. A gem!

The Manx
(Nightlife - Pub)
370 Elgin St, Ottawa  K2P 1N1 • 613-231-2070

Be prepared for a crowd and a wait if you want a table!
