Clocktower Brew Pub - Ottawa

Finally stopped in after all the Grand Opening craziness. Love the Clocktower Glebe location and were hoping for the same here. No disappointment. Started with a pitcher of Kolsch; cold and oh so good. Vegetarian nachos next; good but boss would have liked a bit more cheese. Jalapenos made it all the better. Not a fan of the paper tray liners though. Loose them or put the nachos on a big plate; too much cheesy goodness left on the paper at the end. We then split the bacon grilled cheese with habanero spiced pub chips and spicy dipping sauce. Big kudos here for equal portions and presentations on 2 separate plates instead of meal on one with an extra plate dropped off at the table. Dessert menu pretty short so we opted for more beer. Love that the Clocktower is now here in Orleans; wish it was close enough for us to walk to but no worries. Go and enjoy Orleans; we sure will !!

Had the Jamaican kale salad for the main and shared the calamari to start. My friend had the pulled pork sandwich. I expected the jerk chicken to be spicier but it was still good. The serving size was enormous but I liked it and finished it all. The vinaigrette was tart and complimented the kale, radishes and walnuts. The pablano ranch dressing with the calamari was really good. My friend loved her pulled pork sandwich. The service was quick and friendly. Will certainly be back.
