Swizzles Bar & Grill

great little bar! open mic Mondays are great! check out a show! karaoke a couple nights a week- I can only give 5 stars to my favorite bar in town, but this place is A OK! more open mics would be great - any time I bring friends they have a lot of fun.

Very welcoming, alternative environment. Always great bar staff, and killer (and diverse) DJs. No coat check, but they have a coat rack.

Visited this bar only once and on a Friday night (it is supposed to be its best night) and once was more than enough. I thought it would be like the Lookout which is the best and most dynamic dance bar in Ottawa and it is also a LGBTQ bar and even though I am 100% straight I go there every week. So I thought as an alternative I try Swizzles, but it wasn't anything like Lookout. It is a quiet boring bar with older patrons who sing and no dancing. There is a very small stage for dance not sure how often it is used. Small crowd and boring.

Had a great time at the Wednesday night karaoke. Great vibe.

Was very disappointed with the recent show on July 4th Please come up with a better audience voting system
