Menu for Sir John A Pub in Ottawa, ON

I?ve been here a few times and have enjoyed usually good service and great beers from their vast menu selection, but we... unfortunately had an unsavoury experience with the front of house staff before being seated this weekend. Everyone has baddays, but unprompted rudeness from the host really left my group upset. Reading through other reviews, it sounds like we weren?tthe first group. This really is a shame because this place really is a good spot! Hoping for a different experience on anothervisit. Read more

Tried bourbon lime and tender chicken . Food was served hot and it's good . You can definitely try bourbon lime . I think it's... somewhere around 9pm we entered this Saturday , since it was crowded inside, we both decided to take patio . Giving 1 starrating because we Didn't like the girl attitude in the front table ,the one who received us. Once we took the table ,she cameoutside after few min to keep the starter I guess and gave a wired look at me for no reason . She kind of dragged the chairbefore us and made noise with those table outside the patio with full anger attitude on her face. Poor chairs .i was wonderingwhat's the problem with her . It hurted me so badly . me and my husband came there to spend some quality time ,but thatparticular waitress or front desk girl spoiled our mood,we didn't like her rude attitude.

The pizza was ok but way too much cheese. I ordered pulled pork not cheese pull. So I expect more meat taste not only... cheese... The poutine tasted awful. Fries were so bad and the sauce is bad too. It tastes more like plastic than actualfries. The cocktail is mediocre. I can't believe we paid $12 for that garbage. Should be 3 stars for the food but I gave oneextra because the food was made surprisingly quick and it is open late. Read more

A local favourite. Located right in the heart of Elgin street, it's a popular spot. The food is great and it has a nice patio.... The inside is nice too if you want to catch a game. During peak busy hours, service can be a little slow, but usually it's niceand quick. Read more

Great selections of beer. However, cocktails were pretty mediocre. Food was what you would expect at a pub but mains were... portioned so that sides were more than the actual dish ( filling but not satisfying ). Service was good and servers were nicebut it took 20 minutes to get one cocktail. Read more
