Flora Hall Brewing

I’ve had a few really pleasant experiences here. Good service, good beer, and good food. The atmosphere is warm and rustic but clean and thoughtfully designed. I really enjoy the imperial stouts. Their English bitter really nice and easy drinking, great for the summer.

For food, I’ve only eaten the lamb shank and it was *excellent*. Falling off the bone, and a seriously hearty portion. They could have done a bit more for the side as it was basically just a layer of mashed potatoes, but the meat was flavourful and tender, and bigger than I was expecting, so it kind of balanced out. From others I’ve heard mixed reviews about the food and beer, but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve had so far and would recommend checking it out.

The staff and atmosphere are excellent. However, the three beers I tried were thin, somewhat watery, and lacked depth. I'm sure some of their other beers are decent and the cocktail I had was fantastic. The vegan chicken and ragu were surprisingly bland, despite great plating.

Bon choix de bière. Nourriture excellente mais gagnerais à ajouter un peu d'accompagnement. Les prix sont raisonnables. J'y retournerais.

Terrible service. Came in with a bunch of my friends looking for a more classy place to go rather than a busy bar, and was greeted with a rather forceful and rude request for IDs that felt extremely hostile like we weren’t welcome. The older lady server continued to make many rude remarks and throw coasters on the table infront of us, and reaching between us to clean cutlery in an angry matter. Felt like I was back in highschool…. Felt extremely targeted and disrespected due to our overall younger crowd, and when we asked questions about the food were treated like we were dumb for the confusing menu. Left immediately after paying and won’t be returning to this bar, this place needs to do a employee check because I’m not sure how this is a constant complain on reviews of this place.

Great location. Loved the beer and the hummus. The waitress was super nice. Will recommend it.

Consistently pushing new beer styles out the door. Love their commitment to pushing boundaries and not simply making IPA after IPA.

Good service. They were out of the beer I wanted to try but the other beer was good. Wings were amazing as were the potatoes, burger was ok.

My friend and I went here for a couple of drinks this afternoon. Tried the North East IPA and the bitter. Both were very good. The service was attentive and quite friendly.
Will need to try the food next time and a couple of meals that went by us looked really good!

Decent food, great beer and good service!
Be careful if you order a cocktail though - we were charged for a double shot in a Caesar, unknowingly. (Not even sure if the drink had two shots - didn’t taste like it!). When asked, upon receiving our bill, our server brushed it off like she always does a double because a single is no fun! Not a smart move to over serve, especially if someone is DD!

We popped in for Saturday lunch, and were incredibly impressed by the service, the food, and the beer selection! Absolutely outstanding meals, wow, we'll definitely be back again and again to sample everything.

I am very happy that there are vegan options on the menu! The waiter was friendly and helpful in identifying which dishes were vegan. The falafel and flatbread were delicious, very filling and reasonably priced. Their menu changes often and I'm excited to try more plant-based dishes!

Went there last night for the first time to celebrate our daughter's birthday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Casual atmosphere, great beers, interesting menu & friendly / attentive service.

Thanks Duncan. Great recommendation. Bohemian drink was fantastic. They are also pet friendly. Highly recommended. Ask Ali to speak to management and/or bookings. A+

Great ambience and drinks at Flora. Highly suggest for a nice night out with your spouse or friends!

Really brilliant place to grab some great selection of beers and food! For me the food trumps the beers as it’s all home made and smoked ribs are incredible! They should sell the sauce. I’d like to see more cider on the menu and a large range of beers but service is fantastic and I’d go back again!

Have come here a few times and every time I've had great food, awesome selection of beers and fantastic service.

We were very pleasantly surprised by the menu. Came for beer, stayed for the food and had great experience! Everything was delicious and staff members were super friendly and helpful

One of the few craft breweries who do beer and food right.

I’ve had a wide variety of Flora Hall beers and have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend their East Coast IPA. I finally was able to visit in-person and try their food too, and everything I had was delicious. The falafel was especially good!

We visited Flora Hall for the second time tonight and I was equally impressed this time as the first:) There were lots of selections for folks with tricky dietary needs (I am gluten free/dairy free and that can be very hard to find in restaurants). We had the gazpacho, and the surf 'n turf tartare and I was blown away - so tasty! The first time we went we asked for recommendations for a cider and the server gave us two from the same local brand to compare and contrast. Service really is top notch from the host who enthusiastically greeted us both times to the servers and the food which is truly great. Thanks, folks!

Great design, pleasing decor. I had an excellent bowl of gazpacho soup. Cool, cold - and a little too salty. The staff were very pleasant. All were observing excellent Covid-19 countermeasures. Alas, I am an old man, and the music was too loud for me.
After sending in this note, I received a delightful invitation to visit again.

Beer was AMAZING, ribs were awesome. Guy organizing the waiting for tables was terrific. Server didnt seem interested in serving us unfortunately.

The service and ambiance were great but the food was so deceiving… out of our 4 dishes only 1 was kinda good.

Exceptional dining with communal seating bringing strangers together in a wonderful new age atmosphere. Trendy decor and tasty food accompanied by a great selection of beer.

My visit was disappointing. We waited for over an hour to get our meals. I tried to explain that it was a very long wait for us. The manager comment was that so many other customers were also waiting as well. They truly need to improve their service.

Definitely will come to check this place again. Just stopped to say hello to my friends, noticed the food is amazing and staff is so friendly.

Service not bad, food overpriced and not well cooked or presented, beer is meh! There are much better brewers in the area

Oh mon dieu, l'assiette de peau de poulet frits, un vrai délice!
Beau spot, bières acceptables

Was our third time here. Another good experience albeit not as good as our first two. Their beer is pretty good and the food is generally excellent. It's nice that their food menu changes regularly but that means you can't always order something you enjoyed last time.
On this visit, in addition to beer, we also ordered some cocktails - old fashioned. They use Buffalo trace and had just the right hint of sweetness. It looks like sub sour cherries for amarena cherries but not a big deal. We actually liked the cocktails better than the beer.
The food was very good. The surf and turf of beef tartar should be advertised as a large appetizer for sharing. Way too much tartar for one. They were also out of some of the items they cook on their smoker. They had to come back to the table twice to tell us that two different dishes we ordered were sold out. Makes sense for something that takes so long to cook. The sliders were excellent as were the chicken skins and Street corn. The pickled asparagus and the bacon and peanuts weren't great.
Knocked off one star because the service was incredibly slow. They looked short staffed. Our waiter had sweat beading on his forehead cause he was speed walking and hustling. Not his fault but I think they could use a couple more people tending to the bar and tables.

Great covid patio! It's really well spaced out so if you're a nervous nelly like me then you'll feel very comfortable here. Always great service and beer

We came to Flora Hall tonight and we were absolutely blown away by the staff. Sasha was so knowledgeable and so kind. He made a point to make us feel like friends and was extremely welcoming. On top of that, our server Bree was so nice and efficient. We loved our night at Flora Hall and can’t wait to be back!

I had the BBQ brisket, it was phenomenal the portion sizes were a bit on the smaller side which is what I expected due to their great pricing (which they could definitely charge more for due to the chefs exemplary presentation), despite the portion sizes I went on an empty stomach and I left very full due to me having a drink or two (Very good beer aswell) with my meal so that shouldn't be of concern especially with the exceptional service staff that catered to my every need especially the blonde waitress I wasnt able to get her name unfortunately but she was very kind to my girlfriend and I during our patio stay.

I'd give more stars if I could.

Cute place with exceptionally good beer. I didn’t have much expectation but outdoor charcoal bbq lured me into this place. Enough space between tables and the place followed COVID-19 related rules. Only had drinks but will come back again for bbq.

Our first time at Flora Hall!
Took us by surprise that the place is a lot bigger and nicer than we thought when we stepped inside.
The lady who served us (I think her name was Sarah?) was very sweet and helpful.

We ordered the American Oats Pale Ales. It had some fruity taste to it and it was nice.
The ribs we ordered were very filling and nice. We couldn’t finish them. The ribs weren’t of the best quality of taste, but it was great.
The beans that came with it was really delicious.
In my opinion, the coleslaw was meh.

Overall, a good experience at Floral Hall and would visit again!

TRUE WOWS. Seriously this braised lamb shank was so incredible- please keep it on the menu for the people! Our server was incredible! Love this place!

Great service. Didn't order food but it looked much fancier than I was expecting. Beers were good.

Very good food! Must try new tater tots very delicious! BBQ FOOD IS GREAT HOMEMADE BUNS, KETCHUP AND ALL.

SAFE PICK UP ASWELL! EAT & DRINK LOCAL

What a place! Thank you so much for having me
If you’re visiting Ottawa don’t miss out this gem

Friendly staff, great food and delicious beer. COVID-19 protocols are in place. Distancing between tables. Lots of hand sanitisation stations.

Honestly some of the best beer in town! I can’t wait to drink at the bar again but the 4 packs for take out will do for now!

Love living around the corner from this place. Such great beer and food plus the staff are always really friendly. Can't wait for thins to reopen so we can visit again.

This is a regular favourite spot of ours. Appropriate that it used to be a fire hall because everything you get here is! You really can't go wrong with delicious and affordable beer and food. Also lately their African inspired menu is just spot on during a time that no one can travel.

Excellent beer selection and an eclectic menu of in-house deights. Fun atmosphere and wide open storefront in the summer. Great friday night spot.

Flora Hall is the best brewpub in Ottawa. Located at the heart of Centretown in a beautifully renovated building with generous space and hygienic environment. Flora Hall’s award winning craft beers combine with a creative menu that you should not miss.

Beer is really good. Great ambiance. You can buy beers in bottles to go (which are in a pretty large format) Food is pretty decent too. If you are hesitant, take the hot dog or hot chicken.

Service was really good.ready to help without hovering. Tried their British Bitter and it didn't disappoint. For a snack while you drink, they have plenty of choices

Flora Hall is our go to local for delicious craft beer and welcoming company. The food is also great - we particularly enjoy the new smoked meat bbqs they have on offer ever Sunday. Will forever be the top of our list as a "go to"
