FunkyBeats Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Anything cool to do in Ottawa tonight? (bars/pubs/bands...?)Thnaks,FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showtopic.php?tid/255460/is one possibility. (I strongly recommend using earplugs for this show, though. Mavericks has a new PA, and the one or two times I've been there for shows after they've installed it they've run it loud.) http://www.jambands.ca/sanctuary/showtopic.php?tid/255633/is another possibility, with a brief discussion about it here.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyBeats Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm looking for a place to showcase Ottawa a bit as the friends are from Northern Quebec and it's their first time in Ontario and in the "big" city. I'm not interested in a dance bar but one of the bars you mentioned should work fine.Thanks,FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 DO NOT take them to the Carleton. Its most likely exactly what they are used to in N Quebec...Take them to the Market:The DominionZaphods after 11 (bands till then)The Aulde Dubliner (you can sit up on the second floor and see the action in the market from the full windows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Agreed, avoid the Carleton under those circumstances. If you follow Northern Wishes' advice to kick around the market, you might want to check out the Laff (Chateau-Lafayette) which is just across from The Dom. Ottawa's oldest bar and sometimes you can score for some good music there. I know you are looking for something tonight, but if you can squeeze in tomorrow afternoon, you'll catch Lucky Ron who is an Ottawa staple.
