    Caesar cocktail
    Astrid O.

    It was actually in June, 2018. It was during the weekend of the Canada day, so obviously it was packed. Everybody was looking at me like was not in my place. Yes, I was with my big backpack so what ?! It was literally like I was a ghost and any bartender can't see me . Took time to order my drink. It was kind of expensive just for Caesar cocktail with no extra on it.

    So on top of the Andaz hotel, sits the oasis known as Copper. Hi-end, upscale bar and club. They have a DJ that clearly knows how to keep the party going. Very nice decor. Staff professional and courteous. Age range there is probably 25-60 years old. Good mix of folks. Nice patio seating area. If you are in the area, and you are a nite owl, worth the visit.

    Best view in the city!

    First of all, let me just say that I'm surprised about the negative reviews complaining about service. I've been at least a dozen times over the past two years and I can say that the service has always met or exceeded my expectations. I brought a large group of colleagues there last week - I reserved a spot on the patio AHEAD OF TIME knowing it's summer and everyone wants to be out there. The manager Carrie Nicastro gave us the BEST view of the city for my Torontonians. (By the way, this lady rocks - I've seen her often during my visits and she's a power house of endless energy and hospitality.) Our server Aaron, was phenomenal. He checked in on us regularly, made GREAT recommendations for food, and I don't think my drink was ever empty ONCE. The feedback I got from my guests was that the service here far exceeded the service they were used to for "trendy" rooftop bars in Toronto - which there are many. It was also super busy on a Tuesday, and the staff was consistent all the way until the lights came on. My recommendation: if you're hosting people you want to give the ultimate Ottawa experience, book a spot on the patio, grab some Prosecco or bottle service, and enjoy the beautiful scenario (and people) you're surrounded with.

    I came here with some work friends and was really impressed by the view. I consider this pretty high end, and of course the price goes up accordingly. For all the bougees out there, this is a great bar to visit in Ottawa. The service was good, the waiters weren't pushy but remained attentive. The decor was very modern and posh, exactly my kind of vibe. As for the food? I wasn't impressed. But there's this one drink (something with a tea mix) that I cannot forget (in a good way). I would definitely go back to try other drinks (they're just so creative).

    On the top of the Andaz Hotel in the market, Copper Spirits & Sights is the best rooftop bar in Ottawa. The lounge seating outside around fire pits has a view of the Parliament Buildings and is a great spot for cocktails at sunset.

    I attended the Rooftop Beats & Brunch with my sister and was not disappointed! There is something for everyone here from eggs, DIY Caesar stations, make your own avocado toast, charcuterie, and the most unique desserts and cocktails. Everyone is dressed in their Sunday best for brunch which features themed canapes, passed appetizers, sample caesars, a complimentary mimosa and a DJ. Let's not forget the amazing view of the city to tie it all together. We grabbed our two complimentary mimosas and followed with their Moulin Rouge cocktail. There were so many delicious bites to eat, I'll definitely be back again soon!

    Great cocktail bar at the Andaz. I was staying here for a work trip and decided to pop up stairs for a beverage. I was happily surprised with the great service, great drink, and beautiful views. Definitely check it out.

    I came here with two friends for a couple drinks and to check out the rad view. While the view and atmosphere is indeed rad, the service is excruciatingly slow. The table next to us had to call the waiter and ask for more drinks. When our server finally came back, he had forgotten my friend's one-word drink order. The cheese bread is pretty amazing though (although one member of our party felt there was not enough cheese) and drinks delicious! So...good luck with the service, but cool atmosphere, good drinks and food.

    I was SO stoked to finally visit the Moonroom after seven or so years of wanting to go!…read more After a Saturday night at Bluesfest, we waited somewhere else for about half an hour before they told us the kitchen was backed up, so we walked down Preston and I was so glad the Moonroom was still open. We didn't get there until about 12:30am and it was pretty full. We didn't leave until maybe 2:30am and it was still pretty full considering the time. They're not normally open this late, but it seems like a lot of the businesses on Preston decided to stay open later to catch the post-Bluesfest crowd. Good call! We decided to sit inside since there was an empty table, otherwise I would've liked to sit out on their back patio, which looked really pretty with the lights. Inside was a nice vibe though, too. It's small/narrow, dimly lit, with sheets covering the different coloured ceiling lights, and candles on the table. It's very intimate and pretty romantic. We sat close to the bar and there was another party of two beside us. The music was a bit louder so we couldn't really hear the other table's conversations, but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. They were playing the Bee Gees when we walked (danced) in, so we were really about the jams. My husband got a rotating draught IPA by Daft Brewing, can't remember which one it was. I got the Jill Collins, which had Tanqueray Gin, Affino Limone, fresh lemon and mint, cane syrup, and a Moon soda top. It was super refreshing, bright, and not too sweet, which is exactly what I wanted. We shared/I mostly ate the "OG Grilled Cheese" and "Panzanella-esque Salad". The grilled cheese had aged Balderson and cream cheeses in a crunchy baguette smothered in toasted garlic butter, served with Moon ketchup. It was exactly as described, with very crunchy, buttery garlic bread and creamy cheese. The Moon ketchup is made in-house, thinner and chunkier than processed, store-bought ketchup, with stronger flavours. It was okay, but I didn't need to dip much in the ketchup because I really enjoyed the sandwich and it was on the saltier side itself. Because it was a lot creamier than gooey, I'd say it was more of a sandwich than a grilled cheese, but still very tasty. I really am not a huge fan of salad in general, but I can't complain when it was burrata on top. It also had salty bread, arugula, roasted tomatoes, fresh peaches, herbs, and honey. The peaches were more firm than ripe and juicy, which was good for a salad, though I wish they were a bit sweeter. The burrata wasn't creamy inside like I expected, but I love cheese in any form. I really don't know what possessed me to get salad, especially after a bunch of drinks in the wee hours of the night, but my body thanked me later. Salty, bitter, a little sweet, fresh, and not heavy, even with (more) bread and cheese. It was great. They unfortunately ran out of the affogato, which probably would've convinced my husband to stay longer. Too bad. The vegan dark chocolate gelato from Farinella that they put in it sounded amazing. The beer was $10.50, my cocktail was $19, grilled cheese $16, and salad $17, which was pricey. BUT, the fresh herbs are from their garden on the back patio, they make their own soda and ketchup (among other things), everything was delicious, and even late at night the cocktails and dishes were still well put together and tasted great, plus I finally came here after so long. No regrets! Our server was super nice, same with owner and one of the bartenders, who even popped over and sat with us for a bit to chat. And not in a weird/creepy/in-your-face way lol she was cool. She was the one who greeted us when we came in and said bye to us on our way out. There's no flash photography (I forgot to turn my auto flash off for my salad, sorry!). They're open all week from 5pm to 2am, no reservations, no large groups, and no phone (just stop by). I wasn't sure if it would meet the high expectations and hype I had built up in my head after waiting so long to visit, but it totally did. It's such a nice spot, we had an amazing time, and we will definitely be back!

    Met some local friends at Stolen Goods and wow!…read more I loved every bit of this experience from the super creative drinks to the super cute raccoon theme found throughout! We sat up on the bar so we got a front row seat to all the magic. I was super impressed when the bartenders told us they kind of shoot from the hip for all their drinks in that they don't test it prior! They'll make small adjustments usually for acidity or sweetness but otherwise, you're basically experimenting alongside with them if it's on a recent menu change! My favorite drink of the night was the drink inspired by green curry. First and foremost, I was so confused when it came out clear! But when you took a sniff, you get the fresh scent of basil with some kaffir lime. On first taste, you also pick up some creaminess with the herbaceous notes which really makes it reminiscent of green curry - but it wasn't?! It was confusing, in a good way. My second favorite (of three) was the fruit loops infused drink. It paid homage to childhood Saturday mornings perfectly with the fruit loops whipped topping and the fruity cocktail underneath. It was a fun and lighthearted drink! My third was a drink featuring honeydew. It's such an underrated flavor because it's so hard to find a GOOD honeydew. In similar fashion, this drink also fell a bit short in the floral, sweet honeydew flavor and the cucumber flavor overpowered the drink. Having said that, the cucumber was really refreshing on such a humid day! All in all, loved the concept, loved the experimenting, and really enjoyed the vibes!

    The bar is quite intimate with just 20 seats and lit up by the impressive wall of spirits. The…read morecocktails are unique, thoughtfully created with a complex mix of interesting ingredients that had us wondering what every drink would taste like. We got the King's ransom, Them's the breaks and Petty Theft. King's ransom came in an adorable pig shaped glass and had a fruity yet very smokey flavour. Them's the breaks was also lovely with some familiar fruity strawberry sweetness and a very interesting Merlot pink salt. Last but not least, Petty Theft was our favourite of the night with familiar SE Asian flavours and the nitrogen meringue experience which you pop in your mouth before sipping the drink. This one was $24 since it's a cocktail with a 72 hour process. This is a great spot if you love trying new drinks. The service is friendly, the music is on point and the overall ambience is perfect for a night out. They also take reservations - I recommend the bar seat.
