My fiance brought me here for my birthday with a group of friends. The staff was extremely friendly, our server was awesome the beer was great and the food was fantastic.
What an amazing place! The selection of drinks is amazing, try some of the beers that the brewery makes you won't be disappointed. Food is amazing and I can't say enough about the customer services we received. If you want a great place to eat that offers a fantastic view, go to Mill St Brew Pub in Ottawa.....
Never disappoints! The patio is the perfect place to take a break and chill on a busy, hot day. Found my new fave - the Queen St. 501 Cider. Sooo good...

This is an awesome place. The tour was great. Our guides were very friendly & quite generous with "The samples". Learnt alot of cool things. This tour is well worth $11. The restaurant is a beautiful place to eat. Food was excellent. Staff are very friendly.
Mill Street very quickly became our favourite restaurant. The staff are always professional, courteous, and friendly.
Taya was our server for our delicious prime rib dinner on Sunday. She did a fantastic job of making us feel right at home and helped us enjoy a personalized experience, as have all the staff whom we met when we've been there before, including Suki (hope I spelled her name correctly).
The beer brewed in-house is outstanding too. Our favourite is Mill Street's West Coast IPA, but we've equally enjoyed the others brewed there as well. We give Mill Street Brew Pub a 5-star-Plus rating for excellence in all areas of their service and have highly recommended it to everyone else to enjoy as well.
Good food,good beer,nice patios.
Good place to go to at any time of the year. I've been here many times, and each time I've had the same problem. The food took forever to make. The restaurant also gives brewery tours and one time my family and I decided to go on it as we waited for our food. When we came back from our tour, we asked where our food was and they told us they just started making it so that it wouldn't get cold. I found that every time I visited this restaurant, the waiters were nice but also very forgetful. I like to get some nice ice cream after my meal, and every time I've ordered ice cream it took the waiters over half an hour to bring it to my table, even though I asked them where it was. There are lots of places to sit in the restaurant. I am giving the restaurant a 3.5 only because of how good their food is.
Sat on the patio with a great combination of sun and shade. Surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to the roads. The Belgian Ale was wonderful and perfect for a patio. Great beer for sure. The food was well enjoyed by all. The fish and chips were nice and crispy (nicely portioned too). The chorizo chicken pot pie was delicious and flavorful. The Bison Burger is probably the best burger I have eaten. Juicy doesn't describe it adequately. The mix of jalapenos and cheese was phenomenal. My mouth s watering again writing this review. Highly recommend going here for the great beers, great food, or a combination of both,.
Always a great time at Mill Street. Good
Food, great beer, awesome service and ambiance. My fiancé attended their annual Robbie Burns Dinner and it was amazing! A 5 course meal / beer pairing for $70. With Scot in my ancestry, I was excited to try food from the homeland. Smoked salmon, chicken soup, scotched egg, beef tenderloin and haggis, and sweet and spice vanilla ice cream for dessert, each pair perfectly with different beers. Not only that, the brewmaster gives a speech and explains each beer you are drinking as they come out. It was really cool. I love mill street on any given day, but I would highly suggest attending one of their sit down dinners, it's pretty sweet.
This is the place for good beers and good snacks. Great views in a nice old building. Tourtière was good and fresh with peas and ok mashed potatoes. Typical British style pub food but with some more sophisticated options. Many crave the elk burger here.
Went to the Mill Street Brew Pub for lunch on a Monday...Monday's special is their Angus burger for $5!!! Great value and very, very delicious Yukon Gold fries! Got a flight of beer and felt relaxed and ready to tackle my afternoon! Couldn't get a seat by the river-view because of many reservations but overall I was very pleased!
I have had several good meals at Mill Street. We biked here today along the River Pathway. It's a gorgeous setting, especially the patio. I love the smoked trout salad: lettuce, pears, dried apricots, pistachio crumble and a light "green goddess" dressing. This is my kind of meal, and it's great - light and fresh and savoury - but I wish it came with bread as it's a lot of greens and fish and something is needed to balance it all out. The organic lager is my favourite beer at Mill Street. They also make their own root beer. It's definitely worth trying!
The service is ok, pleasant enough. I would have appreciated a water since it was quite warm and we had been biking, but it was never offered and when I remembered to ask for it the server was nowhere in sight.
Great spot to stop for a drink. This is a perfect spot to stop for a drink if you are following the waterfront trail to downtown. Lovely patio, really pretty old building, views of the river, great beer.
Great good, odd service. The food was great and the beer selection excellent, even a good cider for my wife. However our waiter was very inattentive and didn't stop by at our table once to see how we were doing, we had to stop him as he walked by. I would recommend this place hopefully you don't get the waiter we had.
Building is awesome (but loud), Beer is fantastic, Food is OK. Love the building and the vibe is good. The beer is generally really good stuff. The food is ok but nothing to write home about. Location is a little weird but it is a beautiful spot.
Food is ok. Especially enjoy the charcuterie platter. Service is friendly. I just wish there was a better selection of quiet tables.
Always enjoyable. I have been many times throughout the day and have always enjoyed myself - decent prices, good food, beautiful scenery, good service. Never had any complaints! Most recently went last night for dinner and sat on the patio. Only complaint from a friend was she had too little onions on her sandwich.
Short but sweet. We didn't stay for a meal or anything. just wanted to try their beer. I had their organic lager. They also offer gluten free beer (not corona.) It was nice. They offered free app samplers when we went. Really nice atmosphere/location.
Will try it again. After reading all the bad reviews was a bit hesitant about going. But my sister chose it for her birthday so off we went last night.
First thing I'll say, this place is LOUD. The acoustic are really poor but hey, it's an old building and the floors are hardwood / laminate as are the ceilings (it kinda looks like they used flooring on the ceiling!)
The place was PACKED! It was wing night and there was a Sens game. We were seated quickly, and service was very attentive. The food was slow coming and it was not mind blowing but it was OK. Beer was good. I had the Steak Frites. It is on the expensive side.
Will return for another try, cool location, very easy to park, attentive service, good beer.
Is the Honeymoon Over?. The beer is always good, service on the weekend was great due to the place was basically empty. Sunday at 5pm and only 20 patrons??? Food was fine however was better last year. Are people bored with it already? We will go back.
Service was a little slow but the beer is great (samplers are awesome). Really enjoyed the tourtière.
Great atmosphere and cool historic architecture. The beer is flavorful and the food is great too. Try the crab and spinach dip. The only regret is that there wasn't more!
Love this place! Interesting beers to try and the jerk sauce for the wings is incredible!!
A group of 6 of us went yesterday and everyone enjoyed the food and beer! 5$ appetizers on Monday, can't go wrong with that! Free parking onsite.
Can't wait to go back.
Great location, great service. Food is nothing out of this world, but it is above average for a pub. Beers are very good. Definitely recommend and I am a repeat customer.
My family and I had a great dinner tonight! The service was especially notable- there was a wedding going on upstairs, and, as a result, our appetizer took a few minutes longer than usual to arrive (which our server told us was usually 8 minutes). As an apology, she voided our appetizer from the bill entirely! We were very impressed with her professionalism and friendliness. Food was very good. Two of us ordered the tuna salad and two ordered the kale salad. Overall, both were quite tasty. Kale could have been marinated for a bit longer to soften it. Strongly recommend this restaurant! The whole place is buzzing and electric. Can't wait for next time :)
Mill Street Brew Pub. First visit, had an excellent server named Marc. Beer is delicious. Liked the Caesar salad, flatbread and crab and spinach dip. Will definitely go back. The setting is unique and inviting.
Had a great time at the Mill St Brew Pub tonight. The chipotle beer was awesome! Our server Laura was very friendly, we'll definitely be back.
First time going and the service, food and beer was great. Tried a sampler of 4 beers and my favourite was the organic lager. It had a very smooth taste to it. The calamari was also very good with the aioli and marinara sauces. I will definitely be going back, the atmosphere is great.
Great wings. Was at mill st last night, it was too bad it rained because their patio is awesome. Tuesday is their wing night (wings were $5.50 for 10), and with great service I definitely will definitely be back.
Crowd pleaser...if you get in. Mill street is not rave-worthy. Most of it's charm is due only to its beautiful building. In it's favour, it has free parking, good service and a variety of offerings on the menu (both in terms of food and beer). What frustrates me is that every time I go, I call to make a reservation and am told that they do not take weekend reservations. When I arrive however, there are groups there that have a reservation, and tables set aside for reservations. I really don't know who you need to know at Mill Street to get a weekend reservation at this place. I once waited with a group for a table for an hour and a half. When we checked on the status of our table, we were told it would likely be another two hours (when we walked in we were told it would be two hours). I have left frustrated several times, but have also had some good experiences. There are some amazing tables with great views.
Great place!!!. I love this pub. Great vegetarian options, all delicious. Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff. The restaurant is beautiful and Pete (Bartender) goes out of his way to welcome you and ensure you are happy with everything. On my last visit Pete took the time to make me a drink based on my likes and dislikes and it turned out amazing. Big thanks to him!
Good Times!!. Great times at Mill Street! As good as the Toronto airport location if not better. We were served by Guillaume and he recommended the Mill Street Cobblestone Stout to me. If you're a fan of this kind of beer, you definitely want get a six-pack from their adjoining store before heading out!
Great beer, good food, great service. A bunch of us from work have tried several pubs in the market, westboro, and across the river. We stumbled upon Mill St one afternoon and found our watering hole. Mill St is by far the most consistent pub we have visited and we always have a great time. For a micro brewery the selection on tap is excellent and there's always a good cycle of seasonal brews. The food has failed to disappoint. Whether it's the ribs, pulled pork nachos, traditional pretzels, burgers, flatbreads, or tortiere you won't be disappointed. I've been there on the weekends for brunch and you have to try the waffles and chicken... sick.
Our first few times we sat at the bar but we were forced to sit at the bar once and from that point we have sat at the bar; thanks to Hannah and Karen. They are always good for a laugh, are quick to the taps, and are consumate professionals.
Had the beef burger and added blue cheese and bacon... delicious! Also had the Original Organic beer and tried their root beer, both were really good. Have come several times before and I will keep coming back to work on my MBA!
Awesome service!. A friend and I visited Mill St. two nights ago to enjoy some of their great Vanilla Porter. Pepe our server was amazing and attentive. We will be sure to return soon!
Great fun!!. Stopped at Mill Street with a few friends for dinner a couple of weeks ago. First time at Mill Street for most. It was a very busy Saturday evening. Our server, Matt, was very attentive took good care of us. Hope we get his section next time. Our food delicious & cooked to perfection. We all enjoyed our meals. We would not hesitate to return very soon, great atmosphere and friendly staff! Good Job Mill Street!
Went here with my boyfriend on our weekend away. - the wait was long and our time waste at the bar was pretty confusing and uncomfortable but by the time we were seated and ordered everything was fantastic! I had a raspberry flavoured beer, not a beer fan at all but when the waitress read out brew specials I just had to try. We shared nachos as an app, easily the best nachos ever!!! I really enjoyed my meal- great flavour profile, could have done with a small side of salad or fries to round it out a bit more. My boyfriend really enjoyed his steak and twice baked potato, said it was cooked perfect to how he ordered...will definitely return next time in Ottawa or even compare to the one in Toronto next chance I get! Worth the wait.
Très bonne bière. Nous avons essayé les différentes bières proposées et elle étaient très bonnes. Comme repas, j'ai pis l'agneau et il était vraiment très bon.
Très important de réserver avant, car nous avons du attendre plus de 30 minutes avant d'avoir une table. Sinon, rien de négatif!
Great food and EXCELLENT service. I am also having my wedding reception there and Rachel the events coordinator has been amazing to work with.
This was my third time at the restaurant, and the service was exceptional. Matthew, our server, provided fantastic suggestions for food and drink. The pulled pork cheddar burger was amazing. Really enjoyed the homemade root beer, too!
A Toast to Pepe. I traveled to Canada to see my friend and celebrate our co-birthday and support her during her divorce. Each day was bittersweet, glad to be together and sad for the demise of her marriage. On our birthday we decided to eat at Brew Mills. The pub is a lovely establishment and the food is good enough to deserve a recommendation on its own; however it was Pepe who made our evening one of the most memorable.
Upon hearing that it was our birthday, Pepe brought out an enormous piece of red velvet cake and sang for us in Spanish. I don’t know Spanish, but the song was beautiful and sung beautifully. He moved my friend to tears. It was very, very touching and so generous for Pepe to extend himself so much for our benefit.
Words cannot express the depths of my gratitude. So, Pepe – if you are out there reading this – thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so kind to my friend.

Went with some friends for dinner and was quite surprised! Good food, atmosphere, beer, definitely will go back.
Good Food and Great Atmosphere. I went to dinner here last night (Tuesday at around 7pm) with my parents. It was a really nice place to eat. The atmosphere was really nice. The place is an old stone building. It was warm and inviting and had character. It wasn't too loud so we could have a conversation during dinner. The waiter was quick, helpful, and very nice. The food was good. The portion size was great. I wish I hadn't eaten as much as I did, would have loved to have tried dessert, but there was no room.
Loves it!. I went to Mill Street a few times when they first opened but had not been back for a few months. I went on Friday night and loved it. My server told me that they were trying out a few new menu items and that I should try one of the features. I decided to go with the elk burger. I have not had elk in the past and was a bit hesitant but I'm glad I went for it! Delicious! I had an October beer to drink and found it to be very good. I don't normally write restaurant but my server was quite insistent that I do. Cheers Mill Street!
Nice!. I love the beer, love the apps, and love their club sandwich. Yes, at times you have to wait to be seated but you can down some delicious beer while you wait.
I had the fish and chips, probably the most reasonably priced item on the menu. The batter was perfect, it had that golden colour, and no hard brown parts. The fish was fluffy, and the batter was light, but somewhat oily. The French fries and coleslaw were perfect. Unfortunately I couldn't have any drinks, but I hear the beer 🍺 from those at the table was good. Great seat, and nice courtyard near the water.
We went to this restaurant on Friday night, the table was full so we couldn't get the window side table. But the food was awesome and the server was super nice. We came here just because the restausant we were supposed to go was closed. I am glad that we came here and my family had a really good time. Hope to sit patio next time.
It is a fun place, food is Ok. More vegetarian options would help, especially cooked food, not just salads.
It a great place to friends and family to gather and talk, it was not loud.
The staff is friendly and cheerful.
I will definitely come back.
A very nice place and location. We were a party of eight. People were happy with the food but service was very slow, it took an hour before food started to come to the table and was delivered over 10-15 minutes from the first person served until the last person was served. Some of the hot items were served cold. In fairness they seemed very busy for a Monday night. I suspect they were short staffed. I ordered the "Seafood Pot Pie" with the garden salad. It was good and presented well. Salad was just OK. The seafood pot pie said salmon, scallops and shrimp on the menu. In reality it contained scallops, maybe two shrimp but no salmon at all. It tasted good and the puffy crust was nice, just no salmon.
Edited....
So, my 2nd trip to Mill Street was like having a supernova light up a power outage. GM Amy and our server Cooper took care of our grossly large table from the second we walked in til we walked out the door.
Food was top drawer again, and this time the service was outstanding and well and truly appreciated. Nachos were delicious, the elk burger was scrumptious, and the poutine as to die for. I tried 3 of their beers... The Belgian, the lager, and the 100th meridian (which I shamelessly purchased only for it's Hip reference). All delicious and recommended.
Thanks, Mill Street!

No room outside, gave us a crummy inner table when one with the river view was open... Then server took 15 minutes to come speak to us. Food was good, the everything else was a little annoying.
Love this place! Amazing food and beer in downtown Ottawa, WITH parking! I recently photographed a wedding here and the staff was amazing, it's a beautiful venue for events with the exposed brick, wood beams and views of the river. Highly recommend!
Visited Mill St. Brew Pub during Canada Day. There was a reasonable wait and the staff seemed well prepared for the rush. Nice interior with great views of the surrounding water and historic building. The beer selection was good and the food was tasty. Worth checking out if you're in the area.
Excellent selection of in house brewed beers, a wonderful burger with a generous helping of fries. Couldn't be a better pub meal.... and the service , Pete was 5🌟! I always try and visit the MillSt. brew pub when I am in town
