😠 Not safe place. One guy punched me in the eye for no reason. I complained to security and nothing happened. I was assaulted by a huge guy and nothing happened. Stay away from this place. People often mention club, service, night, music, great, time, people, good, vibe, amazing,

    Ok music on a Saturday night, if you like hip-hop and some reggae. Not too busy compared to the others, very dingy-looking, and crowd is odd. Only 1 bartender working the night we went, so service was slow. Curtains covering another room behind the bar, where a group of girls kept running off to. I wouldn't suggest going here.

    The people who come there are not good, there are fights always inside. Totally not safe for the girls. Some gangs just wanna fight for no reason . The music is good, dance floor is nice but when you do not enjoy the people around, it’s waste.

    This is the perfect place if you want to waste your time and money. The event was only for 3 hours (11 p.m. - 2 a. m.) and we lost more than one hour doing the queue even when we bought our tickets days ago. The organization is terrible and bouncers are agressive and impolite. We saw a couple of clashes because they were unable to control the situation at the entry queue. At the end, they kicked me out because I was not "properly dressed" they think their club is the most exclusive place to go when their installations are decadent, filthy and homeless are around the entry asking for money. The only way they will letted me stay was if I was willing to buy alcohol bottles (expensive ones) doesn't matter if I paid my ticket before of $17. I was thinking of asking for a refund but it looks like they needed more than I.

    Constructive criticism no 1: if you're a DJ, you must look at the crowd to see how they react so you can play the songs accordingly. Staring at the knobs and DJ set all the time and to the couple people dancing on your side (because it's their job to amp things up) while the paying customers are staring at each other in boredom or hypnotised by slumber is not being a good DJ. Luckily, the other DJs took the floor and changed the rhythm, and things got better, but again: you're not playing the music for yourself, you're playing for a paying crowd, you have to interact with the crowd and please them. By the way, 2 people entering alone costs 48 dollars (40 entry fees + 8 for keeping the coats). Constructive criticism no 2: not having a drinks menu is confusing, how can we choose a drink if there is no list to choose from? Also no clear indications of prices, how do we know the waiters are not ripping us off? You're supposed to incentivate us to spend money, withholding information like this is not very inviting to do so. Also, us customers entering the room and seeing all those bottle buckets on all tables seems like we're not welcome if we don't buy bottles. I don't drink the same drink the whole night, I like to change, my husband buys drinks different than mine, I don't have any reason to buy a whole bottle. The positive side, we had a good experience at the entrance with the security check, and with the waiter which was patient. Staff was overall nice and accommodating. Two of the DJs also played nice, danceable songs. Going to this club felt like a waste of time at the beginning, but it got better as the night went by. The whole experience for us as a couple cost around 90 dollars, as we have more than one drink (and yes, we were able to sit in the taller tables!)

    FIGHTS REGULARLY: Horrible place to go to with a bad crowd sometimes, in a very unattractive location. Bouncers are aggressive and assaulted a customer. The manager and security tried to cover it up as a random person was the assaulter but the security guard Louis(or Lewis) admitted it outside at the end of the night and continued to instigate with teens. The manager seems like a smart guy with loads of potential and compensated the guests with liquor because of this incident, he should go to a better establishment. However, his staff were beyond unprofessional and rude except for one who handled the situation perfectly but was not suffice in overcoming the bartenders and other security who were blatantly lying or ignoring the situation.

    Only giving this place a two stars because the bouncer was super helpful. On the other hand getting into the club was a mess. I went last night Oct 30th and stood in line for way to long. We were there around 10:30 because the club opened at 11 and we weren’t inside of the club until 12 ish and we were really close to the front of the line. I had time to go to two other clubs before getting into this one. That shouldn’t happen. Nice club inside though.

    Horrible experience. Unprofessional staff. Had to wait outside in line but the place was empty. The drinks taste watered down. Male staff & security were going in and out of the womens’ restroom the whole night, even after some women asked for privacy, and trying to peek under stalls claiming they were “looking for someone”. Half the security was actually decent, the other half was extremely rude & made people very uncomfortable. The owner doesn’t seem to care so don’t waste your time coming here.

    The bartenders didn't allow me to pay with card for things below 20 dollars but did let my friend do it X2 or X3 times. First bartender basically forced us to buy 3 drinks because two was still $18. What a rip off. Then the shot was the same price as a cocktail - 8 bucks and they didn't have basic Rye. The bathrooms were not draining in either sink or urinals - not a very clean place. Double check your bills and watch out for the included tip on bottle service account for 30% on top of bottle cost

    The place in run down. Bathrooms are dingy. I wouldn’t even want to take a mirror selfie. The DJ last Friday night was horrible. The lighting is too high up and doesn’t set a good mood. I took a shot of Ciroc flavoured vodka and I usually can’t drink that and it tasted so watered down and very expensive for 9.50$ for a shot... for something premium?? I couldn’t dance to many songs and looking around to feel the crowds vibe - I could tell people weren’t impressed with the choice of music. Won’t be going back.

    Didn't know how to distribute their guest list tickets and bottle service tickets made people on bottle service list pay door cover. No respect for people getting bottle service. Much nicer clubs in the market such as tomo, cinema and kavali for bottle service.

  • 3/5 Kensey Y. 5 years ago on Google
    Im going to start by saying that the music was a lot of fun and we had a great time dancing. The cover on a sat night is $5, cost check is mandatory and $3, all expected in the market on a Saturday. I think the worst part is the stamp the give you at the door, it is massive and so wet with ink that I had to rub it with a napkin to get the excess ink off (posted pics). A single tequila and ginger ale is $8! So it’s going to be a very expensive night out. For the ladies I suggest you wear comfy shoes because the only seats are guarded by bouncers and only available to you if you buy bottle service. Which is served by three beautiful girls holding strobe lights and flares. I always take a look around the washrooms everywhere I go, and this one was disappointing. The toilet seats in the women’s washroom are either broken, covered in what I think is drywall putty, or both. The soap dispensers are broken yet they still fill them, leaving a very sharp edge exposed. Over all a fun place to go if you like rap/Afro/Caribbean/90’s RnB music, but I would pre-drink and wear runners next time.

    Great club I feel like alot of clubs in the area Are resto clubs Not a true club feel Venue is a cool space with a smaller bar in the front with a cocktail lounge vibe Lot of potential for all kinds of events Will be back again and again . Paid 20bucks to get in 4bucks coat check So 24bucks All in Was told if I msg them about guest list it's free entry b4 12 There's a dress code so I couldn't ware my hoodie inside w.e They open at 11 I got there at 1130 place was packed by 1230 The party scene is weird here but it's a scene none the less Definitely not Toronto or Montreal But if you want that club feel this is definitely the spot 👌 They had gogo dancers ffs

    10/10 experience guaranteed. not only do they cater to the nightclub atmosphere, they’ve also just opened a smaller, more intimate venue in the front part of the club. they’ve recently launched a brunch menu exclusively on Sundays, with different chefs each week! The attached video was from their launch this past Sunday. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed!

    Always a good time at Hyde with the boys🙏🙏. Music, bar, the lights and best of all, the crowd. Most clubs we’ve been to in the market have majority younger crowds and have certain musical elements but this club got a mix of everybody and every type of music. We’ll def be back for NYE, can’t wait!!❤️

  • 1/5 TheFireDemon53 5 years ago on Google
    Im from montreal and i went to this place once with my roommate, it wqs a great ambiance, music poppin and shisha on point. Probably about a year ago? And tbh since then it has never been the same. Way too overpriced for drinks .they dont take pride in their customers. I got a promoter to take care of my guest list like just last month and he was not helpful at all .This place is just horrible. Doesnt even deserve a star. This place needs new management and honestly just revamp the whole place. Its Its not fun anymore. Im disappointed. Just dont bother going, better places in ottawa to go.

    They don't serve sheesha anymore and still have the sign up. We checked in our jackets and as soon as they said they don't serve sheesha we decided to leave which was 2 mins but the lady still insisted on charging and putting her stamp. Feels like running a scam.

    Always a good vibe whenever I come for a night out at Hyde and Seek. The crowds are great the music is even Better ! They have a little bit of something for everyone, you are guaranteed a good time. I finally met the owner on my last visit, he bought my group some drinks, treated us like I knew him forever!. Honestly my favourite club in Ottawa.

    Fever was actually something else, Hyde and Seek really know how to throw a party shoutout to the promoters and definitely the number one spot in Ottawa & my friends had so much fun can’t wait for New Year.

  • 4/5 Uyen Maria D. 4 years ago on Google
    Best hip hop club in Ottawa. Great vibe, friendly people. Pricey to get in ($20 cover). Despite us getting bottles we didn't get any free entrance cover which is very different from Toronto. Helpful tip: There are actually two womens washrooms here but somehow everyone squeezes into the first one. Once we discovered the 2nd washroom further back, we used it and it was almost always empty. All the drunk people are using the first!

    (Translated by Google) It's the coolest nightclub in Canada, in my opinion. I exaggerate a bit because I'm not the ones of all the cities'mais it's the only one where I saw so many girls, unleash on the dance floor. Free and nice girls who go so far as to propose a dance to the guys ... but just for fun. The Dj is magic and everyone finds his account 👌👌👌 (Original) C'est la discothèque la plus branchée du Canada d'après moi. J'exagère un peu car je n'est pas fait celles de toutes les villes😅mais c'est la seule où j'ai vu autant de filles, se déchaîner sur la piste de dance. Des filles free et sympa qui vont jusqu'à proposer a dance aux mecs...mais juste pour le fun. Le Dj est magique et tout le monde trouve son compte 👌👌👌

    We were there on Friday evening, it was latino night and I can confidently say it was the best latino DJ I’ve ever heard. Old reggaeton, to new dembow, and also salsa and bachata thrown in the mix = danced all night! Amazing club, the service when you buy a bottle is top notch and very cordial. Go there!!
