This place a jewel of the region if you like delicious and savoury bistro fare. A microbrewery known for its hoppy ales and strong, boozy stout beers. Seasonal menus and perfect casual service. You will never go wrong and it’s worth the detour. Take a flat of beer with you when you leave.

This brewery makes some of the best IPAs that can be found in Canada. Highly recommend going here if you're in the Ottawa area.

Great service, wonderful beer, and fantastic food. We all had a fantastic time and it was really difficult to leave. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended. A couple of beers and a really filling meal, with tip included ~60.

This is an amazing brewery. Every beer we tried was spot on. They make delicious IPAs and dessert Stouts, which are the only ones I tried, but the others at the table had their Pilsner and Lager and loved them. We happened to go on a Thursday evening when most pints are $5. A hell of a deal. We keep meaning to try their food, but haven't yet. GREAT spot.

Polar opposite of their factory location, which frankly was awful, for everything except beer Rachel is a FANTASTIC employee, finally somebody at this place that can talk to people properly.. give this girl a raise, you guys need her to train your staff, big time.. if you let her go, you screwed up. End of story. Almost a weird brewery of anti social types at the other location. very bizarre contrast .

Awesome beer, great food, friendly staff. Wish I lived closer but also thankful that I don’t as I would be there far too often. LOL Have had their chicken and waffles, their charcuterie, and, most recently, their Rueben sandwich. All were delicious. Couple that with some of the best beer you can find and this place is dangerous.

Nice place to enjoy a micro brewery beer. The service was good and our server was knowledgeable about his products. You could see he was passionate. The atmosphere is OK, nothing extraordinary at this level. The brewery is located in a building in the heart of the city without a nice terrace.

Excellent beer. Werent sure where it was when we turned off the road and drove by well signed businesses, and after looking a third time,.say they there was a sign above a doorway within a non discript 4 story office bldg. The servers seemed Curt at first but then blossomed when discussing the beer. Suggest microwavable kid snacks.

I already knew they had great beer, but the food was surprise. Delicious plates, I highly recommend for lovers of Tapas and modern bistros. The atmosphere is industrial with plenty of punk and alternative rock music. Not suitable for quiet conversation, but it does drown out everyone elses. Will go back. Food : 5/5

It s a very nice microbrewery, but too one-dimensional in its beer and food offerings. A little variety would be greatly appreciated. The service is good and the location adequate, but its difficult to explore with such a limited palette. The products are good though.

Unbelievable world class beer and food to match. The beer is on the same level as places like Tree House, Trillium and Hill Farmstead, and the Clandestin food menu is fantastic. French toast with foie gras, beef carpaccio, tikka masala, fried chicken and waffles, theyre all excellent. Plus the best NEIPAs, smoothie sours and pastry stouts that you can get in Canada.

Im not a beer fan but my husband liked the selection. I ordered the grilled cheese and it was really good. Nothing to do with the traditional cheese sandwich; It s much more sophisticated! My husband ordered the charcuterie platter as a main course and it was enough for him. He liked the selection that the platter offered. Its a small place but with lots of atmosphere! I will come back with friends for sure.

In a place where I thought it would be almost impossible to overshadow the cold, hopped, malted offerings in liquid form. The food was INCREDIBLE. PERFECT menu size. Nothing big and clunky to try and appease the masses. One page nicely spaced. Id argue to say the chefs are holding up their standards to the beer. The beer, well. If its not the best brewery in Canada its close, were arguing over millimeters. I just cant get enough. I left with 48 cans yesterday and my only regret is not buying more.!! A MUST visit if youre a beer fanatic. Even if you need to drive 6 hours. A day whatever. Get in your car and go !!

Absolutely incredible beer, amazing and friendly chef, but I cant give five stars with how rude and inconsiderate the bartender was at a brewery. After I had spent over $40 on booze, $20 on food, this man wouldnt offer me a sample of another beer I was debating trying, as if I was imposing on him and trying to get a handout.

Their product is exceptional, the double and triple IPAs have few equivalents, their marketing causes a bumpy ride (internet). With the economic situation perhaps they will have to lower their prices to improve their distribution (sell in service points near Montreal)

Super friendly staff, knowledgeable brewers, and very cozy place to go out for a beer alone or meet up with a friend for awesome beers, tasty food, and a relaxing yet hip vibe that makes you forget all about your day and invites you to live in the present moment. Honestly if I could give it more stars than 5 I could.

Very friendly staff and clean place with actual decor. Very modern. You can tell the owners do their best to stay actual and introduce dynamism into the place. The fruit smoothie beers are out of this world. Very nice and refreshing. The beers are very Citra hop forward, which plays into actual trends, but for someone like me who doesnt like India pale ales and the likes, this brings down the selection to basically nothing. Even the pilsner reminds me of an NEIPA. The stouts are tasty but very sweet. If you love citrus hoppy beers, IPAs or PA and such, youll be in heaven. I love the place. Heres to hoping theyll give me a reason to go often with wheat beers or a white or two!

We visited on Saturday December 3rd. Patrons there were helping us out on what to order as the menu was in French (of course). Thank you to our waiter who, with the other patrons gave us great selections We took quite a few home. The pale ale was too hoppy (my opinion). Animal hybride was really nice and enjoyed the nelson sauvin hops (from my husband). The premiere batch (from my husband) was his favourite though. Stout lovers......I give the highest review to their Jour et Nuit. I had quite a few stout tastings tonight. We are from Ontario and wanted to try Quebec beers. The Jour et Nuit is sooooooo perfectly balanced. Not too strong.....not overly flavored on the palate. Its amazing. I give 15/10 on this stout and am stocking up the next time I am in Quebec. Well done.
