Last minute plans with friends after a long day.Justin was our server, he was so quick and efficient with our table.The place was bumping with folk but everything was on point and so consistent in terms of service.Overall, we weren’t sure about our stay coming up to the place but had it not been for the service we would’ve left. Thanks Justin and senate !

Here on a karaoke night with a group. Nice modern tavern design with industrial touches. All renovated.Many screens on the walls. Split level design with bar on ground level and remainder of the bar on the upper split level.DJ was proficient using KaraFun which allows user to check and find songs easily unlike some places still rely on paper. However do prefer paper submission for song requests as this way my mobile number is not being tracked by the DJ.Drinks were reasonably priced and people were pleasant around at the pub. After 10 pm the crowd does get a little bit younger but that is signature everywhere in Byward market.

Disclosure - review is not based on having eaten here. Went on Wednesday because we wanted to check it out and saw online that kids eat free Wednesday (which was a bonus, we were going there anyway). However, upon arrival we were told they don’t have high chairs or booster seats! Bizarre! If you want to be an adults-only place that’s fine, just advertise it that way and drop the facade of the kids eat free nonsense if you don’t want kids there.

Always nice to find a great local bar! They offer a good selection of beers , and have a short but varied menu. The burgers were very good!During sens home games they offer a shuttle service for $10 that's gets to the game and back. How can you go wrong? Call early to book reservations, as both buses were full. Food and drinks before and after the game! We stopped back in after and had some drinks.Wait staff was great, quick and super friendly. With so many options for food and drink in the area, it was no surprise the Senate was a busy place with a vibrant atmosphere. Worth going!

100% the best damn sports bar in Ottawa Canada on Clarence Street in the By Ward Market ! Don’t be fooled by the name because they accept me as a die hard Leafs and Cowboys fan. The owner and his management teams and staff truly treat you like a LOCAL always! . Shout outs to the Clarence team location with GM Olivia and RM Emily they rock as does their staff! The beers are ice cold and the newest craft on tap is tantalizing and tempting! Not sure what to try just ask for a sample. There are daily specials and the food people is unbelievably tasty and you can get deals daily you just gotta check their website. ALL U CAN EAT WINGS $25 on a certain day and $11 triples bar rail Everyday! No brainer duh……Google this word Trolley Sauce. You won’t find it except at the Senate. A must try for spicy lovers.Whether you live here or if you are visiting Ottawa and looking for a place to watch YOUR favourite team, look no further Just ask the Bartender/Server and they will do their best to accommodate your request. Do remember this is an official Ottawa Senators Bar. So the sound and main tv’s will always be on for all Senators games. But like I said I see all my Cowboys and my Leafs games with the sound on some of the time. Regardless they put my TEAM on right in-front of where I am seated which is UNBELIEVABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!There is some mention of this being a Bills Backers Bar but pay NO ATTENTION to that. I watch my Cowboys there all the time. I am there most Sundays and you will see your NFL team play regardless of the Bills playing. The sound may be a toss up based on majority of fans in the bar but just voice your opinion cause the Bar isn’t called the The Billate it’s called The Senate. Just Saying!Like Nike says “JUST DO IT” Cmon in!!Say you read Ottawa Canada’s review on google and you will get a FREE 3 ounce triple of H20 on ice from me!Best drink in the world aka water aka agua lol.

Not sure if it was because it was a game day or we were sitting on the patio but it took forever to get our orders in (2 sangrias and 2 chicken tenders platters) and it also took forever to get our food. Food was alright, have had better chicken tender, but their fries were quite tasty! Loved their sangrias though!

Great Karaoke, but not so great service on refills or just checking in to see if we needed food or anything, so we missed the kitchen closing and probably could have used a bite to sober up a little.I'd try it one more time, just because the karaoke was pretty great.

Me and my friends come here almost every single weekend. And there’s a reason for that the food is incredible every time I’m never disappointed with what I order. Ive had the mozzarella sticks, the Quesadillas, and Cheeseburger multiple times. i want to try the whole menu at this point. Me and my friends come for the $11 Triples, its the best prices in the market and they taste amazing. The environment is so chill and layed back its perfect to watch the latest, Basketball, Ufc, Soccer, Hockey and Football games. Will definitely continue to come

Food was served quickly with efficient and friendly service. Restaurant was a little dark but looked clean and seemed to be popular. Good place to go if you want to watch sports.
