the senate sports tavern and eatery

first time, it won't be the last.. i had to show a friend around town and we decided to eat somewhere in the market in the evening and the senate was definitely the right choice!

the staff were great, especially over the phone when i called in to make a reservation.

but the most impressive part about the senate is its perfect combination of atmosphere and food. my friend and i love how cozy the place felt, a perfect balance between privacy and openness (especially forgamenights). i ordered the turducken sandwich and it was delicious. perfect seasoning, nice texture and generous portion size. the fries were perfect as well, not too salty. my friend ordered the pea-nut butter & bacon with apple slaw and she really enjoyed it. an eye-opening combination for people who have been shy to try something new.

overall, i am very pleased with the food and atmosphere of the senate. with its friendly staff, delicious food and generous portion size (for a very reasonable price), i will gladly bring all of my friends here.

this is my favourite spot to watch agamein ottawa. not as busy or overpriced as real sports. as a jays fan, i love the fact that they play all the jays games and many of the patrons are regulars and true blue fans. the food is decent for pub fare and the prices are modest. my only complaint is that it's a little small and the set-up is not conducive to large crowds which can make watching a biggameproblematic if the place gets busy. i suggest coming in early if there's a hotgameon.

just what i needed!. i went on my birthday in december, it wasn't a sensgamenight so it was pretty quiet. i was very excited to see that i could get granville island (vancouver) beer, always a treat when i see it on a menu. i ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it was perfect! the bun was only lightly toasted on the inside, so it was actually nice and soft. exactly how i like it. what i loved most about my meal is that it didn't come with half a plate of fries. instead of all fries i got a portion of fresh salad with tasty dressing and a portion of fresh cut fries. i was very pleased, and would recommended to anyone!

fish chips was great. good service.
hockey on the french channel for habs bruinsgame- good atmosphere.

greatgamenights!. our group of friends typically make it out to the senate sports bar for senatorsgamenights. even on hugely busy event nights such as these, the service is fast and super friendly. i am a vegan, and even though the menu is a unique twist on traditional pub and burger joint items, i am always able to find something. tons of flat screens and local booze :)

great eats!. amazing food, at a fair price. greatgameday specials, amazing atmosphere, and friendly staff! will definitely go back!

great sports bar!. the food was really good (buffalo wrap and tequila pulled pork) and the staff was very friendly and attentive. even if we hadn't just won tickets there to the sensgameon thursday (which was awesome!) we would still return! a great night watching hockey at the tavern :)

turducken!!!. stopped by to watch the college footballgamelast night with buddies and was pleasantly surprised. they have an impressive collection of sports memorabilia on the walls. i ate my first turducken sandwich ever...it is really good. good luck to these local owners.
