House of TARG
Live music venue
👍👍 We love House of TARG. The food and drinks are great and the venue is very memorable. They have a great selection of pinball machines and classic arcade game cabinets. My only complaint is that some of the older games don't work and/or eat your coins (we tried to play 4 players on Ninja Turtles but...

LIVE! on Elgin
Event venue
👍👍 This is a treasure for ottawans. So cozy and intimate . The bar service is great and the prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere was very welcoming and perfect for small shows. Really enjoyed it. One thing to warn newbies: the stairway up to the venue is treacherous.
