Best Bar in Canada

A	Alejandro M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was really excited to go to Canada’s oldest bar but when I got there the lady security guard at the door was increasingly disrespectful. I did not let that bother me because that’s pretty typical of bouncers. However, the same went for the bar tender (in addition to there not being any service). My friends and I ended up walking out and went elsewhere. Train your staff/contractors to treat people with respect. You’re in the service industry and that stuff matters even at bars.
J	Jo Davies on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On a long overdue weekend away, we stumbled upon this bar and so glad that we did! Angel was spectacular looking after us and immediately made us feel welcome and part of the family. The history of the building was really nice to take I.
C	Cinelouise Crisp on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cammy and I popped in for a quick lunch and drink and ended up staying for a good 3 hours. We ate Montreal Smoked meat sandwiches with the best hot, fresh fries and adult beverages. We met some dope locals and had great conversation. It was lovely!
L	Lori Zwicker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I want to like this place. The atmosphere is really good. The food is fine. But where it goes wrong is the lack of service. There's nothing to indicate there's no table service (which is rare these days in a place that serves food), the bus person will stare at you and see you confused but not address it. Security had to finally tell us. This place definitely caters to locals at the cost of new patrons.
T	Taylor La Fond on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There's a reason this place has been around for so long! They don't try to be fancy and they knock what they do out of the park. There's a good drink selection, and all the food we had was excellent. A regular on the patio highly recommended the food while we were trying to decide whether or not to go inside for lunch. He was right! It's rough around the edges to say the least, but you can't argue with the prices, the quality, and the service. Thank you Lenny for taking great care of us and laughing with us. We'll be back for sure.
J	John - Adventures with Peps on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Shockingly my first time visiting the Laff. Why did I wait so long? Delicious Deep-Fried pickles were consumed with a perfectly served pint of a hazy NEPA by BTP. Staff are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. I will be back again very soon.
c	caroline loth on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ No service, takes too long to serve a burger with fries and two steamed hot-dogs.The price is too high for the small amount of food they gave us. There was only a couple that ordered before us and we waited for 45 minutes at least. As people came in, a family decided to walk out and most people that went there only took drinks and no food. Before we came in, we checked the reviews and was pretty disapointed. We got our food at least and I liked the fries.
S	Sophie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The oldest pub in Ottawa! Good location and various beer taps with reasonable prices. It was fun time! I would visit again for sure!
