Amazing atmosphere....amazing food!!! Owner was so nice !!

On 9/3/2026 Mary Russell had this to say:
Everything was most excellent! The latkes were quite obviously home made and were the best I ever had; the coleslaw also! Their Irish Pub Burger was delectable and soooo filling I’m taking more than half of it home. My husband had the Blue Gill dinner which he, as a fisherman, truly enjoyed. We are not local but will DEFINITELY be back again!

The Maple Bourbon wings!! Incredible!! And the bartender made the sauce this morning. The vibe is so chill and welcoming and they have Magner’s Irish cider and all the Irish drinks and I could not recommend this place more!! We had such an amazing time and all the staff were so nice!!

On 8/28/2026 Ali Sun had this to say:
Came for lunch; ate dinner! Had a great time! Marikay took such good care of us! Highly recommend the cheese curds as a starter, but I’m sure they are all great. I enjoyed the 1/2 dark fried chicken, but couldn’t help but be jealous of my hubby’s Reuben; HE is VERY picky and said it was the best one he’s had (except for those that I make at home) ;-) and he has had a lot of reubens from many states! lol Thank you Marikay and to Keagan’s for bringing your excellence to Ottawa!
