Hintonburg Public House

Sophisticated bars for a craft cocktail in Ottawa

It might look like any garden-variety pub from the outside – all scuffed floors and nondescript wooden tables – but don’t let that artful shabbiness fool you. The Hintonburg fits right in with its hip namesake neighbourhood. The constantly changing menu offers clever takes on pub standards such as corn dogs, beer nuts, and fish and chips, while the craft cocktails selection – which is refreshed monthly – may include the HPH’s unexpected take on a margarita, complete with mint syrup and cider.
