Bias-free bar with popular karaoke, live music and (yes!) poetry nights
Recently redecorated with comfortable booths and tables. Often really mixed crowd, older/younger, men/women, queer, straight and in-between. Karaoke by Dog and Pony Sound on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights is "Ottawa's best threesome" and is always popular, but you can always get a turn at the mic. No frills, but often fun place to hang out with friends.
