Swizzles

Incredibly fun gay bar with great karaoke nights! The staff are very caring and kind and the regular patrons are really friendly. A great place to go for a night out.

I haven't had the food, but it's a one-of-a-kind establishment to be certain. The lovely combination of a queer friendly atmosphere, and a no frills dive bar of the best kind. Nobody is snobby or over the top in that bad way., You just come as you are and all are welcome.

It's says it's a bar and grill, but you can't order house made food. Great place for a drink, but if you're expecting good food, then you're better off somewhere else. Karaoke night is great though

food is meh, but its def my fave queer bar in ottawa- also the only one i've been in with good music! their retro underground nights (every second saturday of the month) are a staple in my life. the atmosphere is great and i feel a lot safer around the people here as a trans person than at the lookout or t's.

Excellent bar with the city's best karaoke. Great atmosphere and personable staff. The drinks are your standard beers and mixers, and food is limited to pogos and frozen pizza, but the people are friendly and the vibes are impeccable.

Ahhh, Swizzles. It gives you small town gay bar vibes in a good way. Friendly staff, good drinks, even better company. Also has the best karaoke setup in town!

I didn't eat here but the drink selection is good. It's a great party atmosphere: my spouse, friends, and I were there for a Friday karaoke night and the place was hopping. It was packed with all walks of life and everyone was so accepting of each other's individuality. My only minor complaint was the noise level and a bit of crowding. At times, I felt a bit claustrophobic. I'm curious to see what karaoke is like on Wednesday or Sunday, so we'll be back.

Talk about a good time! We went for burlesque and had a blast. Staff are so friendly and kind! Great cocktails, great music, and a fun dance floor. I can’t wait to be back!
