The absolute*best* place to sit down and be surrounded by good company. One of the owners (Ian) goes to each table and remembers everyone's name. The several times I have come in, the bartenders (Noah and Carissa) have been prompt, polite, and most importantly friendly and genuine. You would expect the food at a bar to be serviceable at best, this is not the case here, The fried tofu was the best I've had in the city (as a vegetarian I'm glad they have this on the menu). Best way to end a long week is here.

This is nice spot for couple of drinks with snack. Food is fusion style and quantity is small. However, we liked what we had I tried Drumsticks, Prawns in thai curry Cheese with blueberry jam The balls (V) & some crispy Tofu thing All of them were good. Tofu was okay and I might not order it again. Happy hour starts at 10pm They have couple of drinks for $7 as a happy hour special.

Gin selection is pretty good, most of it can be purchased at the local LCBO. However, a great way to try some of the more expensive gins such as Monkey 47 if you didn't want to buy a whole bottle. The gin flight is a great pick. Food was typical, nothing outstanding. The atmosphere and the staff were great.

Great fusion retro restaurant bar. Small plates not too expensive, and everything we had was delicious. Check out their special discount nights or hours if trying to drink and save $.

Just had a late lunch/early dinner here with my husband and we loved it. Their Drumsticks were delicious. Think fried chicken covered in a habanero peanut butter sauce. Rich, creamy with a slight spicy kick. The Brussels Sprouts were the best I've had at a restaurant. They are deep-fried tossed in a balsamic vinegar sauce, topped with a dollop of apple butter and sprinkled with sunflower seeds. The Triple B (beef, broccoli and Brie) was ok, but some of the beef pieces were a bit tough. The dish was still enjoyable. They have cocktails on tap! It was a gin peach iced tea when we went and it was tasty. Service was pleasant and the decor was cool. A great place for a date or hanging out with friends. This place has been open for 4 years (they're celebrating their anniversary this weekend. They had signs advertising this in the washrooms). Wish I discovered them earlier, lol.

Thr33’s Co is the most amazing fusion restaurant! Combining flavors and ingredients that you would never imagine - cheese and blueberries, gnocchi and curry and apple sauce and Brussel sprouts just to name a few! I would highly recommend a stop over any time you are in Ottawa! Definitely worth the stop!

Fun atmosphere with good friendly service. Nice selection of snacks (small plates) and cocktails and let’s not forget the huge selection of gins. • The snacks are made to be shared and enjoyed family style. I just love that approach!!! We got excited and ordered 10 dishes off the menu in order to sample and much as possible. • Unfortunately, the food was hit or miss for all of us. We enjoyed some of the dishes while others left us indifferent or simply underwhelmed. • Some of our favorites dishes… The pork belly, smoked duck, Brussels sprouts and the Thai chicken curry. • Some of our least favorites… The deviled eggs (very greasy), prawns (bland) and the beets (overpowered by garlic). • Overall, we enjoyed our evening but we may not be rushing back for seconds anytime soon. Worth a try.

Excellent small menu, perfect for sharing! Haven't had frogs legs in years, a wonderful treat! Exceptional gin selection with enough other quality options for beverages to keep everyone happy. I think they were short staffed front of house on this occasion but that didn't affect the service.

I went for a friends going away party and the venue was cosy, and the setup was a bit strange in the layout for a large group. The staff was very nice and attentive. The food wasnt so great. The pork belly was extremely salty and when I asked what the pork belly dish was the waiter described it as braised pork belly and can be served over rice. I assumed there would be rice but nope it was served over sauce. The roasted brussel sprouts were alright. But definitely not worth it.

★★★★★

Ive been here a number of times and its become a favourite place to stop at in the city. Their small plates are delicious (personal favourites include the spicy peanut drumsticks, gnocchi, and halloumi with berry sauce). Theres always a great selection of beers - I enjoy when they bring in an occasional smoothie beer into the rotation.

Love the ambience of this place! its super lively with lots of chatting and lofi lights- shout out for the Henricks Gin table lights. They also have a small selections of games. The food is flavourfully- its not your typical pub food which I was nervous about. We had the Prawns, Crispy Tofu (MUST), Beef and cucumber salad among three of us which was filling. We paired our meal with cocktails- The cucumber seltzer which was light and refreshing. Highly recommend a visit if youre looking to hang out with friends!

Incomprehensibly, they have a list of gins an entire page long, and ONE tonic - Canada dry! What on earth are they thinking? The gin and tonic was pretty grim because if that - served in a rocks glass, too many small ice cubes melting too fast. Other cocktails my friends had were passable, bit not great. Food was delicious. Prices quickly mounted up though, a pre dinner snack of 2 cocktails each and several shared small plates of food quickly became $250 for 4 including tip! An okay experience, tonic aside, but with a hefty price tag for an ambiance more like a pub or games room and loud music.

One of my go-to spots in Ottawa for a cocktail and a snack, or to take visitors I can always count on the drinks, food, and service to be solid. Brussels sprouts are to die for, and Im also a fan of the gnocchi supreme, halloumi, crispy kimchi tofu, and Things on Toast! I have yet to be truly disappointed by anything on the menu. If youre looking for a cocktail thats slightly out of the ordinary, I highly recommend the peanut butter old fashioned :) Vegetarian options: Plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance and washrooms are not wheelchair accessible

One of my favourite local places for food, drinks, and vibes. And now I can confidently say that it s also one of the best places in Ottawa for a private event. We recently booked the whole place for a baby shower, and I m still getting DMs from friends and family about how nice the staff were and how great the food was (especially the deviled eggs and coconut shrimp ). Ian and his team made the whole thing seem effortless. Can t recommend this place enough, whether you re stopping in for a quick cocktail or planning a party!

Mixed feelings about my recent experience. To start with the positive, the gin cocktails were great and the selection impressive. Only good things to say about the drinks. Staff was attentive and friendly too. The food, not as much. Some dishes were nice (octopus/tuna), but others super underwhelming (duck). It s hard to justify $15-18 for a sharing plate the size of an appetizer when you d need 3-4 to make a full meal for one person.

Fantastic food. I m obsessed with the gnocchi supreme they make. The halloumi is also an all time great. And they ve currently got this brisket stew dish that was insaaane. Yeah this review is just me shouting out what I ate this past Friday night but I seriously love this place. Go eat here! And get the Pretoria pineapple mule cocktail. My only complaint is one shared with pretty much everywhere these days: why does the music have to be so gosh darn loud!? Being able to hear the people from across the table would be nice :)

Interesting and varied offerings meant to be shared tapas-style. There was a clear intent to incorporate food from various cultures and there were hits and misses. Every dish came overly garnished in a way that appeared messy and without effort. The service was standard and drinks were average. My favourite dishes of the evening were the Brussels sprouts and halloumi. The cheesecake was tasty and comes in a cute little container-- the perfect serving size for one person. The meat dishes did not impress me whatsoever, particularly the steak and pork belly.

The staff was helpful and accommodating all through our planning process, the food was delicious, and we were so glad to introduce this gem of a place to our family and friends, who all had great things to say about it. The space was also perfect for our party of about 45 people, plenty of room for people to mingle, or sit at tables.

There were good vegan options for our vegan friends, and highly recommend the cocktails on tap, such a good idea!

Thr33 is company on Bank has some really creative and fun vegan options. If you are looking for a trendy spot to bring your friends with drinks, food, and music, this is it! I tried the deconstructed vegan banh mi with pickled daikon and carrott. Very flavourful and the small plate was perfect for me. If your planning on sharing, order more than 1 plate. The menu changes so there is always something new to try. Other options they have right now, crispy tofu, potato bravas with vegan jalapeño lime crema. In addition, they made me an awesome non-alcoholic drink; if you do drink, they have many options.

We were seated and given water. Waited 25 minutes. No server came to ask about an order - nothing - so we walked out. Might give them another try - being short-staffed is a thing in the restaurant biz these days. May just have been bad luck that we tried at that particular time.

Worst service received. We were (almost) completely ignored. We felt like we were disturbing. There were 4 of us, and we were not served at the same time. We had all (3) finished eating when the 4ths meal arrived, and that cold. When the situation is addressed, the man who appears to be responsible is cold and offers no apology or compensation.

I went there with my girlfriend and a close friend on a Monday evening. It was nice and quiet but busier than usual, as mentioned by our waitress Kate. She was very kind and in a good mood with us, but she was the only working waitress at the time we were there. We waited several minutes before getting her to take our orders. I personally ordered a doughnut and a Dunrobin raspberry vodka drink. Prices were decent and the taste was very rich and lovely. We also shared some deviled eggs and gnocchi. Original ways to cook them but contain lots of salt. For entertainment, they have a vintage VCR and a wide collection of movies on VHS they play. Very nostalgic for 90s people like me and the people I went with. If you go there and get Kate as your server, she deserves a generous tip for her excellent service and for working alone and hard on the premises.

My absolute favorite kind of restaurants are ones that take some local food culture and blend it with other cultures that the chef is passionate about, and then places it in a setting that makes you forget normal life and just have a good time. This place hits that spot pretty dang well. Immaculate vibes and servers who feel like friends, seriously good cocktails (the barrel-aged negroni is incredible), and sorta French-Asian fusion food including duck and frog legs, tuna tar tar and beef and broccoli sorta cheese casserole... legit good stuff all around. Stay a while. Its easy.

The style of food is similar to tapas - small, delicious, tasty things. The cake in a jar for dessert is great! In addition to the delicious lemonade and beer, there are also many unusual cocktails and everything a gin heart could wish for.

Really great tapas style food that is served until late at night. The gin cocktails on tap are pretty good as well. Only thing I wish is that they also had some pub style food which is what Im really craving late at night after drinking

This is a cozy pub-like restaurant that only serves snacky foods. The dishes are designed as sharing plates or samplers. I tried 4 items, coconut prawns, cod cakes, tuna tartar, and brussel sprouts. The tuna was amazing. Theres a creamy basil pesto as the base and blue corn chips to dip with. The basil dip has a mouth feel like creamy avocado is in it...but isnt. Additional chips will be required. The prawns come on a bed of rice, and were delicious; Id get this again and again. Cooked perfectly so that the shrimp were not at all rubbery. This is like a traditional Thai curry. The brussel sprouts were good but nothing special; but I am a sprout snob. The sprouts at Supply and Demand are much better. I didnt really taste the apple butter. Overall good but could be better if the sprouts were crunchy, or caramelized on one side. The cod cakes was yummy, but the standouts were the prawns and tuna. The other amazing feature is the GIN....so many options. I had a flight of gin, which included 4 types. My friend had a very dirty gin martini and said it was the best shed ever had. I loved the pepper gin and the lemongrass gin. The atmosphere is quaint and has a British/Scottish pub feel. By 9pm the noise level jumps up to bar level. So if youre going to chat and hangout...get out before 9. Overall, loved this place, and I would highly recommend it. As a side note the staff are amazing and knowledgeable. Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarians. Dietary restrictions: If you have a restriction because of diet, they are happy to accommodate. Parking: Parking in the Glebe is always a shitshow. I got lucky, but it was 6pm. There is a parking lot across the street from the Cocktower. Kid-friendliness: This isnt really a kid place. Probably during the day would be fine, but 6pm onward is more pub-like. Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair access from the street and within the restaurant. I didnt use the washroom, so Im not sure about space or access.

This is a great place. Four of us came here for dinner. We shared seven plates and everyone of them was so flavorful. The menu had something for everyone and the cocktail menu had a great variety. Local beer on tap and a small but good selection of wine. The bill was quite reasonable. There were seats at the bar, a few small tables for 2 and a few long tables for groups. It was a little noisy, although we were sitting beside a table that had about 10 people at it so perhaps under different circumstances, the noise level wouldnt have been that high. Having said that, it was so good, we all agreed we would be back.

I liked the relaxed atmosphere with snack food sizes. It was nice to be casual and have food that were different and high quality. We were able to try a lot of dishes due to their smaller portions.

This is perfect for someone who has a hard time deciding! All the items me and my friends got were delicious. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff.

Came here on a late Wednesday evening for some small bites and drinks. We were greeted by a friendly server and had our pick of tables. The music is good here and not too loud. We ordered some drinks, the Southern hush puppies, frog legs and drumsticks. Both the hush puppies and drumsticks were on special that night for the late night crowd (9pm-2am). For that price, pretty great value. The hush puppies were pretty ordinary and I wouldve preferred a bit more sea salty/briney flavour since theres clams in it. The sauce it came with was very dilly and fresh though. Drumsticks were fried nicely but I felt that the seasoning didnt penetrate through the chicken and relied heavily on the peanut sauce that could be a bit more savoury. Favourite dish of the night was the frog legs. Surprisingly meaty frog legs with spot on seasoning, a nice smoky grill flavour and topped with some fresh greens and a tasty yuzu sauce. I hardly ever see this kind of dish in Ottawa so I appreciate the bold move and flavours.

A large selection of drinks, so its fine on that front. Food-wise its disappointing and very much over-priced. For example, crispy tofu is four 3/4 cubes of tofu, and thats like $12. Or four little drumsticks for $18. And its not like the food taste all that great either. So, I guess if you just want drinks, and want a large selection of cocktails and beer etc., maybe this is a good spot. But dont go for the food. At all.

Went here with two super foodie friends and got to try all of their dishes too. The outstanding ones are the coconut curry prawns and the brussel sprouts fabulous! the okay dish was the gnocchi. The tuna tartare was highly over salted but the pesto that came with it was really good! The hush puppies were nothing special, the sirloin was overdone but the duck confit potato side was delicious. The drinks were excellent, overall 4/5 and I would go back and recommend several dishes here. The service and atmosphere were welcoming.

Definitely more of a drinks place, and their specialty appears to be gin, but the food is delicious. As I chose not to drink on this visit I cant rate the drinks, but the menu sported an aviation, and that is a quality classic gin cocktail. High class, thats all I can say. Service was quality, atmosphere was rejuvenating, and other patrons were clearly in high spirits.

A super cute spot on Bank Street just past the Queensway. Lots of delicious drink options and interesting cocktails - I also really liked the mango cocktail on tap! The food are sharing plates - my friends and I got a selection to share. So the food itself tastes great but wow, these plates were really small for the price point Scallop - cooked perfectly but only came with two pieces. Turkey meatball - great sauce but I felt like the turkey could have been grilled more. Crispy tofu - they use a firm tofu and it had a good crisp. Mushrooms - star of the show, I loved this dish! Pork belly - felt like it could use more flavor. I didn t care for the carrot on top. Halloumi - very nice served warm, the blueberry in top added an interesting flavor profile. Cake in a jar - something about this dessert was off. Something was bitter - maybe the way the yuzu paired with the cream cheese? The bottom Oreo cookie layer was good, the middle not so much. Cookies - nice and warm!
