Best damn bar in the city. All the bartenders are legends. Friday nights are packed, loud, fun and safe. If you go, tell them that Jack that tipped Tony $100 recommended Swizzles.


Nice little bar, drag show was fun and people there seemed nice.

This place probably is the best in Ottawa!
Small but very intimate. Great selection in karaoke music. Will keep going back as many times as I can!

Absolutely the best place to come with your friends! My friends and I have come for many Friday nights for karaoke! The owner and staff are all amazing and ensure everyone has a good time! Very inclusive bar and a welcoming space for members of the LGBTQ+ community! Swizzles is a second home!!!

Sam is the sweetest bartender I’ve ever met! So thoughtful and kind. Really amazing service. Someone that is truly passionate about their job and shares their positivity with the world. A true asset to any business. An excellent experience on a Saturday afternoon while the bar was absolutely empty.

Queer friendly place to belt out some tunes! Feels almost like a friends basement and the warm welcome always feels like you're coming back to folks that you've known forever. Can't wait to come back!

This bar is small but very welcoming to everyone. Every night is a different fun event. Comedy mondays, Thursday Nights are a Drag, Basement Burlesque once a month, karaoke nights... The bar staff is so kind and remember my order. The pizzas are great and popcorn is available for munchies. Definitely recommend!
