They sure don't make 'em like they used to. As one of the few remaining "real" taverns in Ottawa, The Elmdale House Tavern is one of those places that will remind you of a place long forgotten, the kind of place where you may walk in a stranger but will leave with solid friends. A second home to many in the arts community of Hintonburg, The Elmdale has become one of Ottawa's premier Live Music Venues featuring original roots music, all while keeping it's original charm and chilled out vibe. The Ottawa Live Music scene is alive and well at the Elmdale House Tavern, so check out the schedule...we'll see you soon!
Come on out for a cold one...or two. See you at the 'Dale!
