    Consistently good food and great service. Their Flammenkuchen is great and the sausage delicious. The Sangria is very good as well with layers when served and the taste is fresh and natural.

    Amazing food, and good service. I ordered the Philly Poutine, which was surprisingly good! It was my first time trying poutine, and I was massively pleased. The hot dog is also very good. I docked a point due to the very exorbitant prices. Great place!

    Always an excellent time. Great food & the manager (Ron) goes way above & beyond to ensure your food is just the way you want! Thanks again, 3 Brewers for making my evening, & the food fantastic!

    I went to this restaurant with my sister and her boyfriend while visiting in Ottawa. I had the 3 brasseurs burger and it was delicious! I really enjoyed the maple taste in the sauce, the cheese and overall the whole burger. I also enjoyed an IPA while dining, the beer was really smooth, hoppy and tasty. It was light and citrusy. I am so glad she picked this place to bring me, and would definitely recommend this great restaurant.

    Server staff had good communications on orders during lunch rush and enjoyed the patio. Good lunch destination, usually busy so plan ahead or arrive a bit early or make a reservation if you are a larger group.

    Our server was the best of the resto! He was funny, attentive and so helpful. Service in general was fast. The food was ok. We order the baked brie as appetizer which we had tried before in another location and were dissappointed. It came with potatoes!!! Not sure whose idea that creation was but not enjoyable. The onion soup was far from an onion soup. It had a toast with some cheese on top. Another dissapointment. Hubby had a burger with onion rings which was pretty good and I had the poutine and it had lots of bacon and cheese for sure. I ordered a white sangria and it had so much ice that after a couple of sips, ice was all there was left. Hubby had some beer that he really enjoyed. We were not impressed. The location in Montreal that we had visited was way better quality of food.

    I was served by Faye S. I came with a co-worker, he had the vegan burger and loved it(Yeah kitchen)! I order a couple of pitchers of sangrias for us to share and we took full advantage of the chance to sample their fine microbrews! My co-worker was even able to get some of that fine brew to take home that came in an old school whistling jug(refund upon return). Thank you Faye for the excellent service 🤠

    3 Brewers is a good restaurant that is a hit and miss. I'm not a big fan of their brews, but I like to have their flights once in a while to see if my taste change. The food is good overall, I've had average meals in the past but on my last visit the flatbread was quite good. My last visit was also better than good because of our server. She was attentive, "fun", and made our dinner a pleasure. There is lots of parking few minutes walk away from the restaurant as there is nothing immediate on Sparks.

    The 3 Brewers on Sparks Street is a great place for craft beer and pub grub in downtown Ottawa. It is located very close to the Bank of Canada (and it’s museum), Canada’s Parliament Buildings and many other downtown attractions. This micro brewery has a wide selection of brewery products with special seasonal favours periodically introduced into their menu throughout the year. The food here is good, service good and this place can easily accommodate groups of 20 or more on most nights. But it probably is best to make reservations if you want to do that. If you like my reviews, photos or videos then let your thumb brew up.

    I have 65 million views for my reviews and photos on Google Maps. You can be assured that all my reviews are truthful. My family really likes this chain, and we try to visit every time we come from BC. This time I I stalled the app and got $5 off. Not a lot, but a good touch. I was pleasantly surprised, as some prices haven't changed a lot since my last visit 6 months ago. The food and service were great. My kids really enjoyed it. What did I like the most? Traditional Sauerkraut meal ($19.75) is a pretty good size. It consists of smoked oktoberfest and toulouse sausages, grilled black forest ham, and served with beer-marinated sauerkraut and potatoes. For $2 extra, you can add half a pint of beer. My son ordered their ice tea, and it was amazing (non alcoholic). The cocktails were pretty good, and you could actually taste alcohol unlike in many other places. I would definitely come back. Our total bill without tips was $140 for 3 adults and 1 child.

    We had an event to get yo and the server made sure we were able to get our food and bill in time to leave. The food was tasty, and the server was on point. The atmosphere was relaxed and everyone had a good time.

    They were pretty busy when we walked in, but we got seated right away. It took a while to get service, but the service was very friendly and the food was great. They also had lots of food options, and great veggie options. Looking forward to returning soon!

  • 5/5 Juan Felipe Puerta M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place, their service is 5 stars. The most incredible thing is to find out that they brewed their own beer. The thin pizza is their best plate.

  • 5/5 JM R. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food here

  • 5/5 Mihai P. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is vibrant, the patio is airy and they brew their own beer. Food is good and service is outstanding. They do a good job with the handcut fries and the grilled chicken sandwich. However, I was surprised you cannot order the burger other than well-done (not their fault). Oh, and kids eat for free before 4pm. Will be back.

  • 4/5 Amrita C. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved it!! The ambience was just what you need to relax on a Sunday evening. We ordered: Buffalo Chicken Flammekueches - The taste was amazing, but the only thing that was a bit misleading was that it mentions that its a flat bread but it was a really really super thin flat bread. Didn’t seem to be actually a flat bread. 3 Brasseurs Burger - So damn delicious! Must try! Drinks - Blonde (super light & crisp beer) & Bloody Baesar

  • 4/5 Alie D. 2 years ago on Google
    Went with friends to this location as it's near our hotel. Ordered a pitcher of their Saphire Sangria and it was delicious. Friends had their 1L steins. Decided on a pretzel and loved the two sauces that it came with. Their patio was nice and we enjoyed the warm weather while it still lasted.

  • 4/5 Dawn L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant/pub with good ambience and service. Food is good too. Chicken Wings (inferno) were the best item we ordered! Caprini pizza was good. Fish and chips were good too.

  • 4/5 Albert L. 2 years ago on Google
    More of the same 3 brewers chain; getting a personal litre mug of beer will appeal to some. Nachos: nothing special. Pizza: carnivore is ok but really isn’t amazing in terms of quantity of meat or quality. Service: good. Redeeming factor: open late.

  • 5/5 Eldho P. 2 years ago on Google
    worth the wait in line. Amazing steak and brews. The waffle dessert rocked

  • 5/5 Michelle L. 2 years ago on Google
    Every time I’ve come here, I’ve had very good experiences. The team they have right now is very cooperative and friendly, I could tell they get along with each other very well. The quality of the food and the drinks are very very nice, can expect beyond typical-pub food quality. Thanks for having us!

    I ordered their pull pork poutine today. It's not bad. Looks nice and tastes decent. Lots of layers of flavour. Yummy. Nice atmosphere too.

  • 5/5 allan l. 7 months ago on Google
    Lovely Brewers Pub Downtown Ottawa, the freshest most cold pale ale I've ever had, food was scrumptious as well. Will definitely go back!!!

  • 4/5 JS E. 5 months ago on Google
    The fruity blonde beer was amazingly good, & surprisingly affordable ($7ish a mug 🍺 I think) & the tuna poke was tasty. The customer service could've been a tad bit more atentative though.

  • 5/5 Baba K. 5 months ago on Google
    The food was delicious 😋 Absolutely amazing atmosphere 👌 Would highly recommend to anyone in the area Delicious chilled beer's great location for sightseeing

  • 3/5 Brandon R. 7 months ago on Google
    The music was a bit annoying and the service was average, but the food is solid and priced right. The European theme and range of great drinking food like German style sausage is pretty awesome. I would definitely come back here for a night out drinking or to passively watch a game over some beers with friends. The beer is good too.

  • 5/5 Remi T. 8 months ago on Google
    Service was PERFECT! The place is very nice, was not crowded when we came today! The food is supper delicious (kids pizza is too small so you might consider the normal pizza instead. However it comes with fries and sweets) In general! It is highly recommended! We loved it!

  • 5/5 Camila B. 9 months ago on Google
    Very spacious location, great for bigger groups. I really enjoyed the two beers I tried here, and the service was very attentive.

  • 3/5 Phillip H. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was very poor quality (found bug in the main poke bowl and a hair in the candied orange slice for drink). Beer was okay. Server was missing most the night, couldn't remember the beer brought to table in the flights. We did have a better experience when we went many years ago, might have just been one of those one-off nights.

  • 4/5 E V. 1 year ago on Google
    Food and drinks are delicious, and the ingredients are fresh. The service is ok, staff is smiling and accommodating. The restaurant's location and atmosphere are also ok.

  • 5/5 Margarita N. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice location. Attentive service. Spacious layout with big windows. The onion soup as mentioned in some other reviews comes with a toast with cheese rather than croutons, but still tastes great. The bison burger was my husbands absolute favorite. Worth coming around for again. The beer from their rotating selection was one of the best beers I’ve had in Canada so far. Husband is an avid Caesar drinker and absolutely loved their twist with beer. Would definitely come back again.

  • 4/5 Bharath L. 9 months ago on Google
    Decent food and service. Beers are great, I had their Amber and it was really good.

  • 1/5 AJ J. 9 months ago on Google
    On Canada Day, we chose this place for lunch! Apparently not the best choice going in with a hungry kid and a terrible wait time after ordering. we were seated at our table at 2:50 and quickly placed the order, the food were served at 4:10! no cutlery provided for 10 minutes, the food got cold and my son didn't eat his chicken! A picture is attached! the server, and her manager were extremely rude! I understand that Canada Day is a busy time for restaurant in downtown core, but all I was asking is to get an estimated time for our food to arrive! I kept asking politely and the response was: "you will get the food when you get the food! You can leave, there is a McDonalds across the street!!!" Would you leave a tip for this service? I didn't and it further exacerbate the server's rude behavior and disrespect towards our family.

  • 3/5 Ester K. 1 year ago on Google
    I ordered a tuna tartar and couple drinks... drinks was good but the tartar was not great at all. This dish was without any flavor... it was not enough sous and salt. I got this big pieces of onion there, i found them inside under tuna.I think kitchen staff should have better knife skills.

  • 5/5 Amanda 1 year ago on Google
    I really enjoyed this place. Staff was extremely friendly, kids enjoyed it and the food was very enjoyable, as well as the drinks. Prices are as expected for eating out these days, I can't really complain but it was nice as a treat on a trip with my kids.

  • 4/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    There are lots of restaurants within this realm of eateries on Spark Street. At the end of the day all you need to do is stand out just a little bit more to be able to capitalize on everybody else’s shortcomings and I kind of thought that the three Brewers was going to deliver on that. Unfortunately it was just an average meal at a tourist level price range and I think that there’s so many opportunities for them to make small changes to offer something better and more than the other locations that surround them. If you’re looking for a good spot to get a burger just walk up the street and go to Brixstons Pub. I think that at the end of the day you get more value for your money at a spot like that and you’ll be supporting local. This spot is just average in my eyes and I was hoping for so much more.

  • 3/5 Osas O. 1 year ago on Google
    Their location is top tier! Their mac n cheese was actually amazing but their Pork Shank felt like it was microwaved unfortunately. It tasted fine but certain parts were cold which was less pleasant. Nonetheless I would still recommend their location and their drinks are amazing.

  • 5/5 sanhitha d. 1 year ago on Google
    Their signature nachos are delicious. We also tried the cauliflower tacos and spicy chicken burger which are good as well. The decandent brownie at the end was absolutely yummy.

    Three for the beer (which is bog-standard but quaffable) and one for the food, which was almost hilariously bad: I strongly suspect the microwave is holding the kitchen together, or at least that must've been what was used to warm up the waffle, which probably came out of polypropylene packet.

  • 3/5 Khiem T. 3 years ago on Google
    Typical pub menu items but nothing really stands out. I like the beer, good patio, makes for a good after work drink get together in the downtown area.

  • 4/5 Lori G. 5 years ago on Google
    We go here often for drinks but decided to have food and we made the right choice. Service was good and the food was even better. We did a shared plate of sausage and onions and it was perfect, added a few pretzels and everything hit the spot. The pretzels come with a honey mustard and grainy mustard. The homey mustard was perfect with the sausage so ask for a side of honey mustard if getting the sausage.

  • 5/5 Kelly S. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful location and a great patio experience! The food is always delicious here (especially the salty nachos) and staff were friendly and fast. The beer selection is great and delicious! Also a big fan of the Kanata location as well.

  • 5/5 Stuart B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great spot. Huge seating variety, great food variety, value pricing. If you want a bunch of drinks with some friends I advise the meter long: 10 beers and a small pizza for $42. Their raw tuna is also great, pork tacos are great! Pizzas are also loaded, delicious.

  • 5/5 John Z. 3 years ago on Google
    My favourite place to go! The staff and management are great and have been serving me since day 1. In my opinion, they have the best beer in town!

  • 5/5 Ronak P. 3 years ago on Google
    It is one of the best place to hangout with your people. Interior was very unique. Staff was very professional and helpful. We ordered onion rings ad it usually comes with bacon but our server change it for no extra cost. It's atmosphere makes you feel and you can stay long as much as you want.

  • 3/5 Esteban N. 4 years ago on Google
    My experience at this location has been mixed. Depending on the time and the day you visit, you might get servers who are fully immersed in making your experience great. Other times, the service is awful, with waiters going by without acknowledging you when you need something (a fork, a napkin, ketchup, the bill). This last time service was an improvement. The food was alright. The salad as a start was very bland. It was a bunch of lettuce, 3 tomatoes, some radishes and a spoonful of sauce. No substance and nothing chef-inspired about this. The beyond nest burger was very good, with a good sauce and bun. The sweet potatoes were cold and dry (like they had been fried the day before). Overall, I would recommend being careful what you order and getting up to get your waiter (not ideal, but at this place you don’t have a choice)

  • 5/5 Andrew H. 3 years ago on Google
    Came here with my wife, son and mother in law. Food was great, service was great. Had a few of their light beers on tap. Great experience.

  • 5/5 avril a. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good place to hang out with friends or family 😃. You can have dinner and enjoy a few drinks or beer, according to the taste of each person. Excellent and prompt service from all employees, even in these times of a coronavirus pandemic. All very clean, disinfected and the employees using the face protection 😷. The dinner we ordered was delicious and very well served (you can see in the photos) and the drinks were just as delicious. When you go to Ottawa do not stop going to this place, I recommend it 😉👌🏼. My family and I were satisfied to have gone to this restaurant 😉❤️

    Had such a great experience here today. Resto/rest bars are open! Charlotte M the waitress was top notch. Quality customer service. Food was great, the "beer chaser" starter is perfectly battered and fried using fresh veggies. Try a hot shot! Coffee/vanilla shooter, awesome suggestion made by the bartender. Also, I has a great view and lots of natural lighting. Covid-19 rules are followed very well.

    Our server was friendly and quite funny. The food was exactly what we needed. Great late night food. My favorite part of the meal was their veggie burger which was super flavourful and tasted I ike a regular burger.

  • 5/5 Brian J. 3 years ago on Google
    First time at this location was tonight (Tuesday Sept 22nd), but was very impressed. All the staff seemed really knowledgeable about the menu, and our hostess suggested the special which was a platter of chicken tacos with a blueberry and jalapeno sauce. The tortilla and chicken had a great amount of crunch, and I loved that the sauce was the perfect mix of spicy and sweet. Another member of my party had the beer sangria and she loved that as well. Overall a great experience that I'm looking forward to repeating.

    (Translated by Google) Really, the food in Canada is neither the most typical nor the best, they really belong to the culture of fish and chips, hamburgers, pizza ... oh what do I know! However, this place with the new health provisions is acceptable, its food is not bad, in addition to having a little more variety than the usual restaurants, the best thing is that it is one of the few places in Ottawa that opens on Sundays until 11 at night! (Original) Realmente la comida en Canadá no es ni la más típica ni la mejor, realmente son de la cultura del fish and chips, hamburguesas, pizza....ay que sé yo!. Sin embargo este lugar con las nuevas disposiciones de salud, es aceptable, su comida no es mala, además de que tiene un poco mas de variedad que los restaurantes habituales, lo mejor es que es de los pocos lugares en Ottawa que abre los domingos hasta las 11 de la noche!
