Deacon Brodies Pub - Ottawa

Scottish pub (not Irish) with a nice selection of beer from Scotland and a great selection of whisky, Scotch and otherwise. Unfortunately the service is bad.

Good lunch special. A sandwich and soup for $10 every day — today we had Smoked Beef Sandwich with Cream of Tomato. Last week was BLT with Pea Soup.

Scottish pub on Elgin St, sister to the Highlander on Rideau, great decor, great food. I had the bangers and mash (scotch not on the side . Look out for the beer-labeled train going over your heads:

NOT a Irish theme bar; oh no it's a Faux “Highlands” theme pub! And tourist ready with all that that entails. But they *do* have Mad Tom, and for race weekend, that's all that matters.
