Hours
This popular spot is known for its standout happy hour deals, including $10 pizzas and creative cocktails. Set in a historic building, the exposed brick walls and spacious courtyard patio add plenty of character—many say it's one of the best in the Byward Market. Menu favourites include the flatbreads, Korean chicken wings, and craft cocktails, though service can be hit or miss during busy hours. The renovated space strikes a balance between casual and upscale, making it a solid choice for everything from business meetings to date nights. Some diners find the portions a bit small for the price, but overall, the atmosphere and quality ingredients keep people coming back.
