This second-floor watering hole above Murray Street is the first stop for live blues in Ottawa. Live music is available seven nights a week, with many headline acts appearing throughout the year; consult the website for a complete schedule of upcoming events. The place can get pretty packed and the dance floor is rather small, but that all adds to the atmosphere. Expect a cover charge Friday and Saturday evenings.
