The Heart & Crown is a lively Irish pub at the heart of the ByWard Market, a long-standing fixture of Ottawa nightlife spread across several rooms and a large patio. It serves a wide range of beers and pub fare, hosts live Celtic and cover music, and buzzes with a friendly, boisterous crowd, especially at weekends and on St Patrick’s Day. Warm and welcoming, it is a reliable place for a sociable night out in the city’s main entertainment district.
