    Our first time at Flora Hall! Took us by surprise that the place is a lot bigger and nicer than we thought when we stepped inside. The lady who served us (I think her name was Sarah..?) was very sweet and helpful. We ordered the American Oats Pale Ales. It had some fruity taste to it and it was nice. The ribs we ordered were very filling and nice. We couldn’t finish them. The ribs weren’t of the best quality of taste, but it was great. The beans that came with it was really delicious. In my opinion, the coleslaw was meh. Overall, a good experience at Floral Hall and would visit again!

    Although you may be drawn to Flora Hall for their beer selection (it is a brewery after all), the food is quite excellent and should not be overlooked. They've put their own unique twist on crowd pleasing dishes, like tonight's ravioli and samosas - both of which were flavourful and well portioned. The shredded oxtail filling in the ravioli was a highlight, and was complimented beautifully with a lime crema that brought back memories of a Carlota de Limón (Mexican lime icebox cake). The smashed samosa was equally delicious, with its crispy edges, warm Indian spices, and sweet tamarind and mango notes. We had the Belgian Dubbel and Dry hopped sour, both of which were very good. The atmosphere was warm and our server (Duncan) was attentive and gracious. Overall it was a pleasure spending the evening here! Thank you to the entire team.

    Good environment but not amazing food. Only an Instagram hot spot unfortunately. Beer is on spot and the best part of this place. Ordered the Jerk Sausage had no jerk spice plus the chicken for the Not Nachos was fatty. Heard that they lost their BBQ chef unfortunately….set back for sure. Food 6.0 3 stars might be a bit too generous but I am nice and I around you from the 2.5 I would have liked to have given. Drink 9.0 Atmosphere 8.5 Price 5.5 Service 9.5

    Beer was great, as always, and the food was absolutely spectacular! My favourite brewery in Ottawa by a mile.

    First of all: how good is this places logo? I don't know. Just the perfect minimalist representation of the building but also sorta has the vibe of a simple Han character or something. I love it. As for the beer, I absolutely love the restive yet not totally out there brews, with a great selection of fruity IPAs and oaty brews. The stout I had was incredibly creamy in texture, but not heavy, and went down easy. The food is presented so beautifully it kinda sobers you up for a sec when it appears on the table. Absolutely stunning use of colour without going overboard. I had the lamb sausages and they were pretty much the perfect drinking food. I could absolutely spend a few hours here with friends going down the beer menu and sharing a few plates.

    Amazing open concept bar with great tasting beer. The American Oat Pale beer is my favorite. The food was good, but came in very small serving... See pictures attached: Jerk Chicken plate and Thai Bowl. Both good tasting but again, very small portion for the price. Still, five out of five because of the amazing atmosphere.

    Really enjoyed our time here, having a delicious dinner and beer! The food is well priced, for how boujie it comes out looking/tasting. The beer is great and the atmosphere is chill. Will absolutely be coming back here this summer for patio season. Angeliou helped us and was great!

    This is one of the popular breweries in the city. The FLORA HALL brews different types of beer that you can taste on the bar before an order and enjoy these drinks. Also, if you really liked it, you can buy cans of beer to take away (they sell at the entrance to the bar). However, this place is not intended for a restaurant audience, as there is a narrow menu list and the dishes with a limited choice. In summary, a great place to spend an evening with friends over a glass of good, cold, tasty, and fresh beer.

    This is a fun brew pub with a great selection of food and drinks. On my latest visit, I had fried potatoes with dip (tasty), a seasonal mango beer (refreshing), and a soda water. An enjoyable place to come with friends and hang out. Fun fact: PM Trudeau took the President of Chile here in 2022 when the latter visited Ottawa.

    Really brilliant place to grab some great selection of beers and food! For me the food trumps the beers as it’s all home made and smoked ribs are incredible! They should sell the sauce. I’d like to see more cider on the menu and a large range of beers but service is fantastic and I’d go back again!

    A great brewpub and also restaurant! Enjoyed a few of their beers, went for the gose and the oat pale ale and enjoyed both. Had the bone marrow for dinner and was delicious. Would definitely recommend!

    Amazing atmosphere and staff. Always something new to enjoy every time I go. Great beer, love that it’s local and the staff are free to create such interesting and delicious menu items! This is my go-to “I know a spot”

    Cute place with exceptionally good beer. I didn’t have much expectation but outdoor charcoal bbq lured me into this place. Enough space between tables and the place followed COVID-19 related rules. Only had drinks but will come back again for bbq.

    Thanks Duncan. Great recommendation. Bohemian drink was fantastic. They are also pet friendly. Highly recommended. Ask Ali to speak to management and/or bookings. A+

    The vibes was good but the menu was a little confusing. Had a good time and Flora Hall has a good atmosphere with a great looking space. Food menu was a little confusing, and some dishes being better then others. But would go again.

    Beer: The beer was good. I do wish they had a dark lager, but they have a good variety nonetheless and dark lagers are quite rare. So 5 out of 5. Food: The menu is odd and one might say, not really 'beer food'. The flavours of the food were pretty spot on, and the serving size as well. The burger my friend ordered looked like a McDonalds burger, but the calamari, 'fancy nuggets' and scalloped potatoes were pretty good! Not sure if the kitchen simply doesn't have a deep fryer, but some fried foods are generally appreciated with a glass or two of beer. Due to the burger and the struggle to find a solid 'beer food' item, I rank a 3 out of 5. Service: The servers were great, responsive and quick. They may not have been the most knowledgeable about what the dishes consisted of, but they were quick to gather the information from the kitchen. Unfortunately, it took sooo long to get food. The place wasn't busy and it took 30 minutes to get a couple of dishes, and when we ordered round two, it took another 30 minutes. I don't expect fast food speeds, but 30 minutes (twice!) is too long. 3 out of 5. I would like to return since it's in my neighbourhood, but the odd menu and the speed of the food, and some of the quality of it, are what hold me back. I'll probably just visit for a few beers sans food. I hear their summer smoked ribs are good, so perhaps I'll give those a try in 2022.

    This is a regular favourite spot of ours. Appropriate that it used to be a fire hall because everything you get here is 🔥! You really can't go wrong with delicious and affordable beer and food. Also lately their African inspired menu is just spot on during a time that no one can travel.

    I had a wonderful afternoon here! I brought some out of town friends to this place to showcase some of Ottawa’s finest beer and pub grub and was not disappointed. The beer selection is awesome and the food was very tasty with great prices. I had two pints of the bitter and the meatball sub which I would totally recommend! Our server Kate was super chill and professional. I felt like Kate had our best interest in mind and was happy to show us around the menu and give us time to make up our minds about what we’d like to eat and drink. Jay was great as well! All around a great visit! We will definitely be back.

    My experience with flora hall is overall not great. I live across the street and have made may attempts to enjoy this venue. Tonight I tried the Taiwanese pork and rice entree. I am happy to report that the broccoli was some of the best broccoli I’ve ever tasted. Unfortunately it was nestled in a bowl of salt. The rest of the meal was not edible unless you have an unhealthy passion for sodium chloride. I’ve always been disappointed with the the food at flora. Consistently over priced, rarely worth it (exception being anything they actually bbq - including their ribs, which I haven’t seen in a long time). Their beer is probably above average but very expensive. Staff is routinely friendly and helpful. It’s a beautiful venue with good staff and decent beer. I will pass on the over priced, inadequate food

    Great beer and nice ambiance. Lovely street patio in the summer momths, although that may have been a Covid thing. Good food, although I was taken aback that the $16 perogies consisted of only three. Had the menu specified, I probably would have ordered something else as I was left feeling still hungry. I get the sense that although beautifully presented, the portions are small here.

    The brewers here really know how to make great tasting classic beers with just the right amount of crafty twist to them. I've always had great service here, and there is always a friendly atmosphere. I would recommend trying the bohemian pilsner and enjoying a drink on their patio or meeting people up at the bar.

    We came in here for a beer after dinner. This place is right around from City Goose and was perfect. Wide selection of beers, fun atmosphere and everyone was super friendly!

  • 5/5 Dorothy D. 5 months ago on Google
    There was a bit of a wait but we'll worth it. The food was beyond expectations! Service was great, fast and friendly staff! Definitely a must try.

    Cool building, nice food and good vibes. Definitely recommend trying them out if you haven’t, even if you’re not a beer drinker.

    One of Ottawa's best microbrewery, just love this place, this was my second time and I have to admit I have a severe crush on this place, the beers are very good, the place looks and smells amazing and the service was a also very good, Overall this place is a must, food has nothing to envy the offers of the area, everything is well done with a twist. I will sure come back.

    This is a really fun pub with a great selection of craft brews and tasty food! Although I can't get there as often as I'd like, I'm always impressed with anything I've tried (the menu changes fairly often) and I love the fun atmosphere as well. Service is always friendly and exceptional (Sara is the best!!) and I always enjoy popping in for a drink and a bite after a long shift at work. One of the best brew pubs in the city, I can't recommend this place enough if you're downtown and looking for a great dinner/drink spot. Can't wait to pop in for a pint again soon!
