They…read morehave an enormous amount of pool tables and serious players from around the city come here to play. Now, for no other reason should a person go here. It is located at the bottom of the old City Centre building. It is a run down area and the immediate scene outside the pool hall looks like a parking lot out of a gangster movie. There is little lighting, and not much for civilization around, especially at night. The establishment itself has a very basic bar that serves dome tic beer and from what I could tell, very little else. The staff is small, with one person noticeably working in the front and a kitchen staff (I assume) in the back. They serve food, and it is pretty much what you would expect: chicken wings, nachos etc. It's not bad food, but nothing special. for a pool hall it gets a passing grade. Unless you're a pool enthusiast, don't bother.

We had a great time here, we came to play some games. There are three floors, the main level has…read morethe video games, upstairs has a bar and seating area. The bathrooms are located in the bathroom. They have an organized system, you scan the QR code there are categories for how many players,types of games to choose from. If you have a hard time finding a game, they will help you. There were so many options for all ages to choose from. There was a bit of wait for the video games, but our name came up fairly quickly, we were escorted to the video game section. There are several tables with different consoles. You choose the game, staff sets it up. This was so much fun, there are food/ drink options as well. Staff was friendly!

Food was good and so were drinks! $9 per person to play games seems a bit much, I'd understand if…read moreit was $9 per table....once we said we weren't going to stay and play the servers seemed to be pushing us to leave. Despite the tons of other open tables. Our server was also very rude regarding our US ID's and said we needed a second form of identification, I've never had this happen in my many years going to Canada. Who carries two forms of ID at all times?? They wouldn't accept a college ID either for one of our group. Overall the food is good and would be a great place to spend a few hours playing games if you're willing to pay the high price.

I think there was a Yelp event here years ago that I couldn't make it out to because I ended up…read moreworking late, but House of Targ has been on my list to try ever since! I'm not in this area often, especially during the pandemic, so when I saw that they were offering frozen pierogis through Burrow Shop's online grocery delivery service, I had to buy them. I got the traditional pierogis made with flour, sour cream, eggs, potato, cheddar cheese, and salt. It was a 12-pack of frozen pierogis sealed in plastic in a little cardboard box with the instructions at the bottom, which included boiling and panfrying. I was lazy and starving at that point and looking for something fast, so I decided to brush six of them with olive oil and stick them in the air fryer. I should've taken them out sooner because the potato started leaking out the ends, but they were still great. Of course, if I had followed the instructions, I'm sure they'd be even better (I saved the other half to try it making it the way they said). Simple and comforting, not lacking flavour, but not too tame, and not too salty. The six were a great snack for just myself - I can see how people could easily take down plates of these!

From back when I was living in Ottawa, this was a favorite hangout of mine. The tables are in good…read moreshape, there's plenty of them, and the food is good. It's nice without being pretentious. Not much has changed since I was here last, which was about 7 years back, and before that, 15 years back? I was in town to see friends and chose this place. We grabbed apps (fries, curly fries, and deep fried pickles). The food is still pretty good, but the regular fries are much better than the curly ones and the pickles were tasty. All three are very small servings for $10 each or $9 each when you order two. The tables are still in good shape and the vibe is good. The service is a mish mash. First, we had Sarah. She was the highlight of the service night. Attentive, friendly, professional and able to switch gears from small chat about her team the Oilers to what the best IPA they had was, and came by to check on us regularly. The next server wasn't around much, and forgot items, then we got Lee (I think I got that name wrong) who was also a total pro. The staff seem really good except for that one in the middle and I think overall their staff is really good. Not sure I get all the 3 stars, but I don't live in the city anymore and my experience is limited at this place. Overall, I'd say go!

He brushed it with a wet cloth and told me that it was gone. After he left and when it dried out (an hour later) the white spot reappeared. I called him right away (3 hours after he left) and he basically told me that it would not affect the play and that there is no way he would change the cloth. But it is bothering us, a new cloth with a big withe spot in the middle of the table? Not acceptable. No matter the deal for the table, the cloth is supposed to be new. Also the table is dirty and the cloth is not installed properly. Of course I have paid UTT (well...the price was given to me "Taxes included" but later I was asked to pay cash...so there is nothing I can do, except writing it here of course. Not happy...

The Short Version: Casino in Gatineau. Attached to a Hilton…read moreHotel and has 2 restaurants: Arome the fancier and more expensive one and Banco, the casual and less expensive one. The Long Version: My first visit to this casino was before I moved to Ottawa. I was living in Montreal and visiting a friend who was doing his co-op placement in Ottawa. He was playing tour guide and showing me around the NCR and the casino was on his list. We walked around and I played some slot machines. My friend played some roulette. Neither of us won any money :( But we did get some free coffee and soft drinks at the self-serve dispensers, haha. I'm not a huge gambler, so even after I moved to Ottawa, I did not return, until recently. And my reason for returning was actually to eat at Arome, one of their restaurants, with my husband. Since we were already there, I figured why not experience the casino a bit after dinner? My husband and I walked around. My husband played some slot machines, a fish-themed one and a buffalo-themed one. He won a small amount. Most people would likely have kept on playing, lol, but we like to quit while we're ahead, haha. The casino was clean and did not smell bad (like the Shorelines Casino at Thousand Islands did the last time I was there). There's also a theatre at the Casino where you can see shows. I'm not really into casinos, but for those who are, I think the Lac-Leamy Casino is pretty good in terms of aesthetics and amenities. They have lots of free parking. Review #21 (2026)
