The Standard - Ottawa, Ontario

This place is a hidden gem! They have a crazy amazing happy hour. Right on elgin with a good size patio. Thursday tacos are ridiculously delicious and cheap! $4/taco?! Definitely our go to!

My boyfriend and I had so much fun here last night. Our waitress was great, friendly and fast. We had pizza, with pickles on it and I guess it was deep dish or something but oh my was it ever good. Something about that crust! Overall atmosphere was a ... hit, the DJ had awesome music which really made it that much better. Everyone seemed to be having a great time, it was very lively. Definitely my cup of tea! Read more

It has an interesting atmosphere and good food. The waiters are friendly. Only at the end of the night DJ entered the restaurant and played very loud music which was annoying. I recommend.

The drinks for Sippin’ Santa were so fun! The North Pole bowl is HUGE and pretty tasty. I don’t recommend the Ho Ho Hot Buttered Rum, it was just TOO buttery and didn’t have a very good after taste. The rest of the drinks were great 😊👍 After 10:30 they turn ... the lights down and the music up Read more

Great service, nice atmosphere, ok food and drinks. Tried the Bee Sting Pizza (Soppressata & drizzle honey) which is Detroit style (thick and rectangular). The dough was thick but light, and the portion is huge which makes it easily shareable by two people. However I did get tired of ... the flavour quickly. I enjoyed the first few bites and then I had enough. Tried the poutine which was ok, but way overpriced ($14). For drinks I tried the Moscow Mule, and was disappointed when it was brought in a highball glass instead of the traditional copper mug. The flavour was ok, but too much ice. Server was very polite and professional. I like The Standard for its location location, but overall it’s just an ok place. Read more
