They sure don't make 'em like they used to. The Elmdale House Tavern is one of those places that will remind of a place long forgotten... the kind of place where you may walk in a stranger, but will leave with solid friends. As one of the few remaining "real" taverns in Ottawa, the Elmdale is like a second home to many in Hintonburg, the people inside like Family. Live Music, Cold Beer, Good peeps...what more do we need?

Come on out for a cold one...or two. See you at the 'Dale!

"Classic Country n' Western Wednesdays, with Lefty McRighty. Come on down to the Elmdale every Wednesday night for a boot-stompin' beer-spillin' good time, with Lefty singing all your old favourites! From Hank Williams to Stompin' Tom and everything in between. It's a free show, starts at 8, don't be late!"
