The land Lowertown Brewery was built on has been home to locally made beer for over 150 years! It used to be home to the Commercial Hotel Tavern, built in 1837, making it the oldest bar in the Ottawa area at the time. While the Tavern burned to the ground in 1982, its legacy lives on in the Lowertown community.

We offer retail beer from our Brewtique from 11:00am to 11:00pm

    Excellente ambiance. Les arcades et la terrasses sont vraiment très bien. En plein cœur du marché By, c’est un bon stop.

    The food was cold and tasteless. Waited for a waitress for a long time to come, so I can tell her. waited for a long time and when it came back it wasn’t warm again. Seemed like leftovers

    Unfortunately was not a great experience! We waited 45 minutes after placing our order for the food to arrive. We didn't mind really as we were having great conversation and we understand that things don't always arrive quickly so this part didn't bother us at all. But when our food finally did arrive the disappointment set in. The food came cold. All 4 of our diners cane very cold. Can you imagine eating cold hamburger and fries or nachos. The cheese wouldn’t even melt on the nachos, it was literally globbed on. The brisket was also cold but less bad to eat cold. I am hoping this was just an off day at the the restaurant! None the less it was my first and last time spending my money there!!

    Super slow service, and an unpleasant smell wafting up from the bathrooms.

    Ordered the fish tacos and it was amazing on the first time but then had them a second and they were subpar, at best. Very little coleslaw was there.
