The service was attentive, and the food was delicious, just what we were looking for. It was probably the fourth or fifth place we walked into, because we were looking for some place that wasn’t too loud on a Friday night. This was it! I appreciated the variety on the menu, that it wasn’t just burgers and fries.
Clocktower was an amazing find after a long day of touring around the city. It was so nice to actually have a s selection of gluten free and vegan food and my boyfriend loved the selection of craft beers they offered. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and our waiter Tom was the best! This place completely fits in with the friendly vibe Ottawa offers and we will totally return here on our next visit!
Really great pub and the food is quite good - the kimchi fries are a must, they are amazing! I also like the beer selection, and this is coming from a person who doesn't even like beer to begin with. They have a lot of interesting flavours, such as raspberry wheat and (this might be limited edition) pumpkin ale. It's spacious, clean and conveniently located in the market. Surprised I didn't discover this place sooner, love it.
Been there a number of times over the past few months with friends and the service has always been good, peak hours or no.
Was always acknowledged and brought to a table within a minute of walking in the door, menus and specials were given upon being seated.
The cocktails I've ordered are cheaper than other places I've visited in the area, so that's a plus. Food, on the other hand, is expensive, though that is expected for any pub. Waitress comes by often and offers to top up our refreshments.
Overall a pleasant experience.
I really enjoy the beer, but the byward location is dingy and needs a touch up. My arms stuck to the table because of the aging varnished tables.
Good beer, time for a reno.
Great Nachos. Stopped in here for a beer and nachos last night. I was a little hesitant because of the $14 price tag, which is pretty standard for Ottawa but still feels like a lot, but I was pleasantly surprised. You get quite a bit for your money - even split between two people, it wasn't easy to finish. The chips were tasty, albeit a little too salty for my taste, and the nachos had lots of toppings (salsa, green onion, jalapenos, and tons of cheese). Plus, the service was great - the place was packed and we still got our stuff in five minutes! Will definitely be back.
Good Beers. Reasonably priced menu. I had a curry, and my wife had the three cheese quesida. Both were very good. Service was prompt and friendly and the beer was excellent. I had the Bitter,.....my wife had a light lager.
Sat out on the back patio which was very comfortable.

Great traditional style pub with unique selection of local brew. Their Rasberry wheat was especially refreshing on a hot summer day. Decent burgers. Great atmosphere and good service.
I frequent this bar multiple times a week. Great service, great beers, great food. One of the more welcoming and relaxed places In the market.
Great Beer. Went there with some friends last night. Place was practically full so we sat at the bar and was served by Carly. She was cute and funny and let us know there was no seasonal beer but suggested the "BrownBerry" - it was superb. Ate the special CT Brisket and it was delicious. Sens won in Overtime and the place erupted in cheers. Only downside was that they didn't have volume on for the game. Will definitely be going back. Thanks Carly!
The Clocktower hosted a large party of 27 people for me, a surprise 30th. We had an amazing waiter, he was always there as soon as we needed something and provided excellent, friendly & fast service. That is hard to do with such a large rowdy group. The food was also extremely delicious. I highly recommend the artichoke & spinach dip as an appetizer. Great pub style food, great atmosphere & great service.
Great place to hang out for lunch.. I went to this pub with colleagues for lunch and I must say that this is a really nice place to have a munch. Their beer is house-brewed so that makes it a special place to hang out. I'm not sure about the pub at night but I'm sure it will be a lively place to hang out due to its location.
Nice and cozy place food is good and the service is good the open window give a nice outside touch in town
Nachos!. Their nachos are yummy. Also, wasn't a huge fan of their brewed beer, but there were a couple I enjoyed. Definitely get a taster if you're not sure if you'll like it. Atmosphere was good, too.
Nice pub. Recently opened, and without their craft beer until a week or two ago.
They offer a selection of 5 craft beers, which are good to complement the rest of their food.
It is typical pub fare, although it seems like the chef does take his/her time to add extra thought.
Fish and chips is great. Curries not so great. Curries were served with regular rice and not basmati rice which was a bit confusing.
