On the Grid : Tooth and Nail

"Attention to craft is easily perceived and appreciated during a visit to this Irving Street corner hangout. Tooth and Nail features its brewery processes in plain sight and connection to its decidedly spartan, but welcoming brew pub. Locals keep the evening operations colourful and bustling while testing the passionately procured variations on the staple product. Come for a pint, try a selection of samplers, or just pop in to their retail beer store for something to savour in the environment of your choosing." - PLOTNONPLOT

The Best Bars and Pubs in Ottawa and Gatineau | Eater Montreal

"Hintonburg’s anchor microbrewery offers up ten of its own brews on tap, checking most boxes from pale ale and IPA to a relatively classic stout and pilsner, plus some out-of-the-box options like a fruity rosé beer, aged in a pinot noir barrel. There’s a solid snack menu of sandwiches and small bites, and Tooth and Nail’s on-site store can ensure that you go home stocked with crowlers." - Tim Forster

This is a wonderful brewery with a great selection of delicious beers and a fun small rotating menu. The staff know their beer and are fun to chat with. I always learn something fascinating about the beers they serve when I'm there. I do my best to visit every time I'm in town, but I'm thrilled that my favorite local bar in Kitchener/Waterloo (Arabella Park Beer Bar) regularly carries Tooth and Nail beers so I can enjoy their brews when I'm near home.

I had delicious food and amazing beers here. I would recommend trying the Dunker beer if you visit. Their Mediterranean Veg pizza is next level; I can't recall having anything like it before. This place is a gem, and the staff is super friendly.

We are traveling and spent the day in Ottawa. My husband always looks for new brew pubs to try and this was hands down a gem! The beer was great (we took cans to go as well) and the food was very good! Service was great, and the atmosphere was a chill vibe for a Friday afternoon. A must try if in Ottawa!

What a great place to grab a beer! A great variety of different beers, they always have something new on the go. Moselle and Noah are amazing staff members, they are super knowledgeable, friendly, and kind.

Great staff! Solid food, tasty beers, nice vibe inside. Games to keep the kids (big and small) occupied.

A small quaint brewery in a charming location in Westboro. I was lucky to score a place on the patio, but there is also space inside to drink. I opted for a flight and a pint when there. Exile Pale Ale was my personal favorite. They do serve food, but I wasn't there to eat. If I was back in the area I wouldn't hesitate to go back and visit. Staff are fun, easy going and attentive. There isn't parking there so you'll have to find a place on the street.

Great beer, nice location and atmosphere and friendly staff. I enjoy their barrel aged offerings. If you get a chance to try Fortissimo, it’s highly recommended!

8 beers on tap to choose from, with 5oz pours available. As a non fan of IPAS, these IPAs were among the best I've tasted. Their American Brown Ale was supreme. Hands down winner. Ok merch selection and the staff was friendly but not exactly engaging. Decent food menu though I didn't try anything. Overall, you should go.

This brew pub has excellent beer of every type. From farmhouse to saison, extra pale to stout, I don't think there's a single bad one. The take away cans are only 12oz but I prefer to drink the draft there. Food menu is a bit limited but you're probably not here to eat. I don't get a political vibe from the establishment, which is nice for a change.

The location of this brewery was great while I was in the area. It's a little tucked away on a corner so you can look right past it if you aren't looking closely. It was a rainy and dreary day so no one could sit outside and there's somewhat limited seating indoors. I ordered an IPA and a margharita pizza. My beer was good and the pizza may need a little slat but the service was fantastic. The bar maids and servers were so good about keeping my water full and gave me extra napkins - it's the little things, ya know? I messed up the til machine when closing my tab, but the server handled it swiftly and helpfully.

This is a review of their beer rather the location. I did have a great time there before COVID but since the new situation I make sure to always have a few cans of their beer at home They are my favorite local brewery, less than 2km from home. Since I dont want them to ever go away I order their beer every week or two, and I love ALL their flavors.Bkack Is Beautiful is defently a winter fevorite. #ThankYouThursday

Best stout in Ottawa; Fortitude Stout... an Ottawa classic. Not the best food, but willing to overlook because the beer is so good.

Being outside of our normal stomping ground, we had not gone in here for a sit down. Finally made it on a beautiful fall night. They have Community seating outdoors, which is a great way to make new friends. Friendly crowd. The overall noise level is on the louder side, but in a good way. We had a great waiter, and have a great beer. I ordered the pretzels and they were not was I was expecting - and I loved them. Great visit at this business. Would I return: Yes Would I recommend: Yes

A colleague of mine recommended this place, so I decided to go after work on a Friday. The place was almost completely packed full! There are a lot of tables (it's a really long restaurant), and 4 bartenders. Everyone was chatting and drinking beer. It's a bit dark but cozy inside, and it's a bit too loud for my preference; I had to talk loudly to be heard, so I couldn't stay long. Service is a bit slow; you might have to get their attention to make your order. I was sitting at the bar and I made eye contact a few times but the bartender didn't come over to ask for my order. They have happy hour until 6pm, where you can get $2 off a beer on tap! I chose the Invigorator, which is a dark beer with dark dried fruit, toasted pumpernickel, and chocolate flavors. It was indeed dark, but still drinkable and light-tasting, which was delicious! They have a food menu, but I opted not to try it, given that I wanted to grab dinner elsewhere. I might try some of their food next time.

Enjoyed drinks here with friends on Saturday night. Really liked the interior, it's big but still felt cozy. Service and beer were both good! The beers I tried were hoppier than I expected but I'd definitely go back again to try something different. Quite a few beers on tap as well as one cider (not their own). I had a flight of 3 beers which was reasonably priced at about $7. Cool spot in the neighbourhood!

Cute little place in Hintonburg. Ottawa needs more of these places to cure the city of its homebody sickness. I'm sure the hours are based on the foot traffic but a bar that closes at 1am (earlier on weekdays!) is tragic. People of Ottawa - go to Tooth and Nail and stay a while. If you don't support your local businesses, they won't be around anymore.

Four and half. For a micro brewery. Half star is for the tasty appetizer (nuts ,olives, charcuterie and the like.). Their beers are seven in total on this visit. From pale ales, IPA, stout and bock. Tried two pale ales. Very comparable with some of the best in the business. Service was fast and friendly. Great neigbourhood vibe. Families and friends are the patrons. I would not call it grungy. They have simple industrial decor with lots of seating. Come and try their beers. You will probably leave with a growler. My measuring stick for micro brews include Vancouver and Portland. Bit pricey compared to some places.

Showed up after a long drive and checked to make sure they were open online. It said patio was open. The hostess was really rude and said they were full for reservations for the night (no reservation option on site) and the patio was wide open. Tried to get beer to go and was also turned away because they're Internet was down. I'm sure they have fine beer but I won't be coming back to try it.

There are many great choices of beer here to choose from and the option to take more than a fair share of the beer selection home as well. If you are hungry there are a few options including the Pretzel Buns that come with a beer made mustard. Give it a try if you are there. The bartenders were friendly and had time to throw back a few sarcastic jokes. Worth stopping in if you are in this part of Ottawa no doubt about that. I will certainly be back.

Love this local brewery located in Mechanicsville. Seating is pretty tight especially on Fridays and Saturday. Their beer is well refined and not too hoppy. I would look at the IBU scale to get the right bitterness that you prefer. I met up with a colleague and shared 2 rounds of beer. The roasted peanuts are a great snack to share

I have warmed up to this place over time, I think because my tastes have been expanded thanks to trying so many different styles of beer at Bar Lupulus.

I love this place - one of the few breweries/brewpubs in Ottawa that's doing it right. Always fresh, exciting and delicious beers on tap, friendly service and a nice place to hang out and have a few with friends. Cheers.

Great location, great service. Every time we've stopped in for a pint the owners have been onsite. They are really friendly and engaging with the customers which goes a long way with the locals. There is a retail store where you can buy regular cans or "crowlers" of your favorite beer. I recommend the Tenacity or Rabble-Rouser but you can get a flight of beer for those who want to a little of everything. Highly recommend this business and I hope they have a long future.

This recently opened Brew pub in Hintonburg, at 3 Irving Avenue, just off Wellington st. West, offers a friendly atmosphere, excellent, brewed-on-site beers, and a "Ploughman" style food pairing experience. Dana and her staff are friendly, considerate. and they know their beers. All in all an excellent addition to the Ottawa Craft brewery marketplace.

Great beer, terrible food. The muffuletta that I had was not made fresh, probably not made the same day, but hopefully made the same week. The rabble rouser IPA was quite good.

Cool, rustic atmosphere. I'm not a beer drinker and they claim to have a "guest" cider in tap, but both times I've been there, the cider has been sold out. Disappointing, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and try one more time. Clearly they need to order more cider though.

We drank there during their first week of operation, but already it was a terrific place and their beers are outstanding. The craft beer scene in Ottawa is getting pretty crowded but these guys are real standouts offering unique takes on classic beers across a broad range to appeal to many tastes. One interesting note was our waitress was consistently refilling a small water glass for each of us. Though they did have small plates and snack fare, including a sweet and mildly savoury candied nut medley, it was not a full restaurant. But I did find the water good for keeping hydrated and palate cleansed before enjoying another unique beer. This isn't a detraction and I think was a real testament to their staff. Though they seemed to have only one server working that night the speed of service was the best I've had at any establishment.

Some of the best beer in the city. I love that they sell normal size cans ($2.75). Nice vibe in the pub. Limited food but the sandwiches are delicious.

Great place for w drink with friends. Great beer, good service, great atmosphere. I wish they had a more extensive food menu but that won't keep me from going back soon!

Enjoyed the ambience in there. It's sort of a grungy place, but they have put it together pretty well. The beer selection is good and I enjoyed the beer that I tried. Food selection is minimal so would recommend going there after a meal.
