Karaoke, trivia, live music, etc…read more The kitchen is usually open until 10pm during the week which is sometimes why my bro and I venture here. My bro likes the spicy chicken strips and mini beef tacos. The cream cheese poppers are good. I was surprised with the ultimate adult grilled cheese, it's quite good for bar food. They recently added tuna melts to the menu which I was pleased. You can get the tuna melt with pita bread, regular sourdough bread or as a tortilla wrap. It is my new favorite thing on the menu. The bartender who served us on 12/10 was super friendly and made sure my tuna melt order came out the way I requested. I didn't get her name but thank you for being so helpful!

GREAT prices for good food! I got the Polancic's Tenderloin with the daily cold salad (macaroni…read moresalad), a pickle spear, and a drink- all for only $13! The macaroni salad tasted so good!! I've never had macaroni salad before, but after having it here, it won't be my last time that's for sure. I'm not a huge tenderloin fan, but I know from many people that the Ottawa tenderloins are top tier. Really neat place inside too! They had ping pong, pool, darts, sand volleyball, you name it! The service is why I took a star off. It was very slow unfortunately yet seemed rushed at the table. It also felt like our food was thrown down in front of us. Side Note- they do not have to-go cups which I have never encountered at a restaurant.

Despite the Name on the sign "Kenny's Tap" They do not have anything on tap, and all the bottles behind the bar well they are not available either he just collects them :-/ needless to say we are not off to a good start so I ask for a bud light bottle and pronto there it is my thirst is quenched!!!! My initial reaction aside the bar has nostalgia and is well kept the owner was very nice and out going. I chatted with him a bit about he bar and went on my merry way. All in all not a bad place but if you want to order and off the wall beer you are not going to find it here, I would swing by again for a quick one but I do not see it on my regular rotation.

DJ was a little load for just a couple people but I guess if you hear it from a distance you would go check it out. We moved to the outside part of the restaurant and had a couple more drinks. Service was a little slow but our wait staff said he was new. Can't fault him for that. Bathrooms were clean, and I noticed they are now gender neutral. Ok. When we left I looked to see if anyone was sitting in the sand pit area and there where a few people, majority older. So I wondered if the DJ was going to switch up the today's hits to something the overall crowd would like. Play music for the crowd you have? Just a thought. It was a beautiful day and I would recommend checking this place out. It's definitely evolving since they opened many years ago! (It's the only picture I took.)

The drinks were excellent--well-balanced, creative, and clearly made with skill. There was also a live musician performing during my visit who was amazing and added a great atmosphere and really elevated the overall vibe. Service, however, was a mixed experience. One of the bartenders (a newer female bartender) was very friendly, attentive, and showed a lot of potential--she made a great impression despite seeming a bit new. Unfortunately, the other bartender completely brought the experience down. He came across as rude, disengaged, and honestly like he didn't want to be there at all. I understand it was a busy night, but there was very little sense of urgency from him, and wait times felt longer than they should have been--even factoring in the crowd. That said, I do understand everyone can have an off night, and given how good the drinks and atmosphere were (plus the positive reviews I've seen elsewhere), I'd likely be willing to give it another shot. Overall, great cocktails and ambiance, but inconsistent service keeps it from being a top-tier experience--for now. I will be happy to update following a repeat visit.
