# will go back again: 80% Definitely go back for their beers. The food was pretty good, we ordered a Burger and a chicken wrap, very good flavor but not enough chicken in the wrap. The sides were a bit disappointing, fries were not crispy and the pub chips were too hard...

I would say that for the food you get the price is quite expensive. It is not a restaurant so don't really expect their food to be great, they are a beer pub so if you are looking a place to have drinks, then maybe you should try this place out - otherwise, don't recommend.

Was visiting family close to the Glebe with the in laws and decided to check this place out. I never need much convincing to try craft beer. Reviews didn't look good but as they were handy and menu seemed generic enough to satisfy all tastes. We were shown to a comfy both which amply seated all six of us. Place is dark wood inside but the setting sun brightened it up. Balmy evening and all windows were open. I had called for reservations but we didn't need them; there were only a handful of occupied tables upstairs. I tried the beer sampler. They were out of two regular offerings. The waitress said something about getting a beer in place of the missing tastes but never mentioned it when I ordered my next drink. The beers were nothing outstanding for the most part. I wouldn't recommend this place on the beer alone. The oyster stout was passable. Others at the table liked the raspberry wheat. I had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes. It sounded promising on the menu. Bit of a let down. The mashed potatoes were lumpy and cold in the middle. The meatloaf was dry. The " onion sticks" were canned fried onions that had been sprinkled on top. The green beans and turnip side were excellent; fresh and cooked perfectly. They had a $7 kid's menu and the waitress brought colouring stuff for the kids as soon as we were seated. Nice touch. That kept them busy for the rest of the meal. The waitress apologized for the cold spuds and removed a beer from bill to make it up. I would give the food and beer a 3. The service and atmosphere four stars.

An Ottawa mainstay, this foodie friendly brew-pub serves up great pub-style fare, has an awesome patio, friendly service, all housed in a really cool building with a Clocktower. Lot's of options menu-wise, would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a cool lunch/brunch spot on a beautiful day or for a low-key & causal dinner.

Grow theirs own cocktails herb and flowers…read more The patio is charming and so is the interior. The staff is very knowledgeable it's very pleasant to know more about the dishes.

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!
