A'lure Aquarium Bar/restaurant - Ottawa

The owner was our server and he is AWESOME! He can read his customers well and the food was amazing! So were the drinks! 10/10 and we will go there many more times!

Are you looking just for a drink? Come sit at this great bar and watch the fish. Hungry?? They have a small menu but a lot to pick from. I?ve come here often. Friendly staff, clean, indoor and outdoor seating.

At night. a waitress. .slow kitchen. they were from a series of menu items. no dinner. they were even out of certain beer on hahn and that was a Saturday night. no explanation. I love this place, hopefully they can turn it around.

They are closed. together with many other places in the opposite. I tried the door, she was locked. there was a TV back there. I called, informed and didn't get a reply. on Saturday they were open at 12 o'clock and it was at 3:30 o'clock. the website says open. the voicemail said they were open. it is now 6:00 and packed there. I guess they do their own hours. only disappointed because I really wanted this place to give a shot in the opposite.

The concept is fairly cool. An aquarium that also serves as a bar.However, the owner/bartender treats it as his own personal drinking binge.After witnessing him yelling at patrons for putting their glasses down on the bar (which is also the aquarium) and kicking one lone guy a totally benign and lonesome guy) out…... Seriously? That’s ridiculous. It’s the bar where people put their glasses down.The bartender/owner/heckler also tends to insult people who are by themselves. He’s pretty vicious and tries to play it off as “all in good fun”. No, it’s mean-spirited and he seems to have problems. He has a group of friends that show up and he enlists them to also join in. It’s pretty sad.He also tends to over indulge himself and patrons in libations and then insult them and make them feel awkward for even being there.I’ve been to this establishment on several occasions and it’s just painful.Please avoid this place or at least be on guard.Downtown Ottawa has many other establishments that are not exactly as hipster but way less offensive.
