I'll definitely be back! The live music on the Saturday I visited was perfect for the cozy pub feel. Pizza was good, but I'm eager to try the rest of the menu!

This pub is a true slice of England in the heart of Ottawa. From the warm, welcoming ambiance to the impeccable selection of beers and traditional dishes, every visit feels like a mini-vacation across the pond. Whether you're craving a juicy burger or just want to relax with a pint after work, this spot never fails to deliver an authentic English experience. A must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of England in Ottawa!

This place is great! The wings are out of this world. You get the full wing (flat and drum) and they are dry rubbed before they are fried. OMG! Delicious. The staff were great and super friendly. The only down side (if I have to mention one) is just the space is very cramped which is standard for downtown businesses. So the tables are close together and the bathrooms are teeny tiny, gender neutral (so seats were up) with a single toilet and very dirty with pee on the floors and even on the toilet paper dispenser. The size is not their fault. The cleanliness could be better. But again, this is just a minute thing I noticed. The overall experience was great.

Amazing staff, super friendly, and ready to help without being pushy or overbearing. The menu is varied, fairly priced and the pizza especially is *chefs kiss*. Popular enough the taps are always fresh and something new to try frequently. Love coming for a drink and meal enough it's becoming a regular haunt.

We walked by, decided to stop in early New Year's Eve. Amazing pizza! Some of the best ever. I got it with green peppers, banana peppers and olives and it wasn't soggy at all. Great wine too, fun atmosphere. Great service. And the cheesecake was delicious too!

Pubwell's is your cozy, friendly, and welcoming Canadian pub, a local staple and the place you want to visit if you want to experience a traditional piece of Canadiana culture.A lot of care and attention to detail have gone into crafting an environment that is familiar yet festive and very local, here our Canadian heritage comes to eat delicious food and hearty drinks and share a good unassuming time.From the occasional "Sens" game to the timely rugby match, not a sports bar, but a community experience from all walks of life, you could not get it any more real than this.Food wise you can't go wrong, from the pinwheel pizza to the most classic burger or the house poutine you'll not be disappointed, fresh tasty ingredients from meat lovers to veggie lovers everything is carefully prepared and presented with a smile.The beer selection is really good and on tap! from local breweries and imported, also not to be missed is the owners own aged cocktails, French Connection, Manhattan, and Negroni, a whole new experience.So, Pubwell's is an experience that should not be overseen if you are visiting Ottawa in our Centretown West sector at the beginning of Little Italy.Just a word of advice, you might want to check with the friendly staff for reservations since it gets busy! But it's really worth it.
