Ottawa Bars & Clubs
There are literally hundreds of bars, pubs, and clubs that make Ottawa's nightlife a colorful, diverse, crazy one. These nightlife hotspots range from pubs to restaurants, from comedy bars to blues clubs, from dance clubs to jazz clubs, from piano bars to to rock bars, from sports bars to country bars, and everything in between.
While these nightlife hubs are scattered all over Ottawa, there are three areas that are the "hubs of the hubs" -- the ByWard Market, Elgin Street, and Hull. These three places offer a good variety of bars and clubs within walking distance, perfect for those who want to go bar-hopping.
Ottawa bars are usually open nightly until 2 AM. Be reminded, however, that in Ontario, you must be at least 19 years old to drink.
