The Fireside Pub - Ottawa, Ontario

Glow In The Dark Bowling was super fun!!! It gets busy, so the earlier the better. Bartender is willing to make whatever drink you want, providing they have the ingredients!!! No fresh juices. Lanes are in great condition. Very friendly staff. Good times!!! #localguide

fun time there today - my friend organised a fund-raising event and our family took advantage. We hadn't been bowling in years - nice staff, good times; fun lighting. Bar on the side so you can have a drink and I think they get food in from Milano's ... (I saw pizza boxes), so loads of options for a great time. thanks to my friend and Walkley bowling! - edit: oh my gosh see the response from the owner! WINGS!!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!!!! Read more

We had the “Kids Bowl Free’ pass for last summer. There were some peak times, but we never had to wait for a lane during the day. The pass is a good idea and is defiantly worth it if you go. The Centre however could use some updating. There ... is a particular aroma to the bowling area that is not just shoe leather spray, and the food area looks sketchy. The bar area is very dark - too dark - and we rarely saw any one go in it o stay. Some of the food however was really good, but both over priced and very much dependant on who was cooking (and knew how to cook predominantly frozen items) - which was often the same staff that was cleaning the restroom, handling the shoes and running cash register. The restrooms were decent, but could use some odour removal products. The lanes and tables were clean and in good shape. The carpet needs to be replaced or given an extreme clean and the organization of material on the walls needs a fresh look and updated palette. The staff are mostly fairly young kids and the turn over seems to be such that as soon as a kid gets some experience and confidence, they move on; they could really do better in terms of staff and management. Overall the Centre really, really needs to be updated and the staff need a reason to stay there, but if you are just there to bowl and use the lanes, you will get what you pay for. Read more

The people working there are amazing. I have anxiety and accidentally went on a busy night and then guy at the cash was so nice and accommodating, letting me take a lane further away from people. I love that there are specials on different nights, it's so fun to go ... on Thursdays (disco night) and Tuesdays (2 dollar games). This place has the small balls which I personally love as I find them easier to bowl with. I had a great time here tonight and I'm planning on coming here much more often. I would really recommend this place! Read more

Great promotion for kids bowl free during the summer. Register on-line, pay for the shoes only (kids $1 and adults $2) and get two games free everyday during the summer. You could also pay a small fee for a family pass that covers up to 4 adults as ... well all summer (until Sep 30). For the smaller kids there are plastic dragons and other animal shaped ramps to help them roll the balls down the lane. Good 80's music if you like that sort of music. Kids had a blast. There is also pub for the adult drinks and an air hockey table as well. Five pin bowling is harder than it looks. Read more
