James Street Pub - Ottawa, Ontario

I decided to visit the James Street Pub after work yesterday to enjoy the beautiful weather. I called earlier in the day to see if they offered non-alcoholic beer and was delighted that they did. The service was exceptional and the patio was full of patrons. It brought back ... wonderful memories of when I first moved to Ottawa in 2004. Thank you for a wonderful, nostalgic experience.

They redid the seats making them much more comfortable. Good place for watching sports. Food is traditional pub food. Servers are nice.

I used to live on James St. and it was my daily go to pub about 30 years ago. I had a craving for wings, so decided to drop by abd pick some up. Was greeted by a great server who took my order and as I looked around, the ... memories flooded back, of all the good times I had had there in my younger days. The wings arrived promptly and were delicious, not quite as good as I remember, but certainly better than most. Read more

This was a highly underwhelming experience overall. When I walked in, no one greeted me and I had to wait about 15 minutes before anyone even noticed that I had entered the restaurant (bear in mind that it was not busy at all - only 12 people in the entire ... restaurant!). I ordered fish tacos which were recommended by the waiter for being highly acclaimed by several clients and himself. The tacos, as can be seen in my pictures attached, contained a very meager portion of fish, not to mention, it arrived in a hideous presentation, the tacos lying flat and wide open. There was literally a tiny sliver of fish along with very basic ingredients like sliced peppers and coleslaw. Nonetheless, i am giving it 3 stars because the prices are somewhat reasonable and the waiter was friendly, professional and attentive to our needs. Read more

Went for wig night and was sadly not very impressed. The service was quick and servers were all very nice, but the wings were not up to par. The meat tasted very fake although the wings had a nice crunch and a good amount of sauce. The atmosphere was very ... chill, I’d recommend going for their drink specials. Read more
