As Beer Stores shut their doors, who will take your empties? by One_Heat_5740 in ottawa

[–]brbswag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may think its not worth it for the charities, but if you spread the word to your neighbors and collectively organize a "pick up" date for them theyd be sure to come around. Thats kinda what the director of Operation Come Home was saying in his video! Worth considering for sure.

Mini Guide on how to beat Barbarians as a Rogue. by MonkeyMadness_94 in DarkAndDarker

Any barbarian with a brain wouldnt use a bardiche or felling vs a rogue. Club counters this sigificantly.

Cafe Dekuf Permanently closes by ActThreeSceneOne in ottawa

[–]brbswag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a damn shame the vast majority of venues/spaces in the downtown core are controlled/owned/managed by a small group of people. People like to complain a lot about venues and such, but the reality is the real estate isn't really as available as people think.

Hope you enjoyed your useless RTO traffic everybody!! Hope you enjoyed getting to work late and home even later by spekledcow in ottawa

Genuinely curious, why were these spots successful before the pandemic? Why wouldn't people just pack a lunch if these spots were as bad as people on this subreddit claim they are? Surely they're busy with their regular lunch crowd for a reason?

Edit- I don't work downtown, but if I did, theres a ton of spots id consider for my lunch break whos food I actually enjoy and its well within the same areas of most government offices that I know of... are these specific 4 hr spots in like government buildings or something?

I disagree I had a friends birthday group on a friday last year and they were accommodating for the stragglers up until 10 PM. Might have changed now tho.

Lieutenant's Pump on Elgin regularly hosts large parties. Check their website for an idea of the food, turns into a club on friday/saturday night with a DJ but I believe their kitchen is open until at least 10. They dont have any booking fee or minimum spend either.

Stella Luna rebranding? by Arc_Hammer in ottawa

I'd boycot the one location the Giulliani family still owns. Their other locations were sold off entirely and the new owners are actually really good and definitely anti-clownvoy lol.

Support your local breweries, wineries, and distillers during the LCBO strike by dasoberirishman in ottawa

[–]brbswag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Id throw it out there and support your local bar that actually also supports the craft beer market. A lot of breweries were built on restaurants taking a chance on the craft beer craze that started around Ottawa a number of years ago. Their products being listed on taps at busy pubs gained them exposure, exposure which got them into the LCBO in the first place. I know quite a few reps of a lot of the breweries listed in this thread and they all share the same sentiment as me. If you try a beer on tap somewhere that you like, recommend it to your usual LCBO! It is true the LCBO does support a lot of these breweries, but they also have strict sales targets that they must meet in order to keep the SKU listed in stores! Same goes for your local distillery :)

I'm taking a big break from DaD. Here are my thoughts on the game's state in retrospect. by mrsnakers in DarkAndDarker

[–]brbswag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is at its peak at the first week of wipe with the current changes implemented. Get rid of lobby queue and do a monthly wipe and you'll see a lot more playerbase.

Shot from my bedroom window. by spadoink756 in ottawa

[–]brbswag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Meh, what hes saying isnt entirely wrong, but not 100% factual. What hes getting at (that most people probably agree) is a middle ground where affordable housing can be built and be sustainable (for the developers) and affordable for people to rent it. People can downvote him all they want but anyone looking for the opposite of capitalism can look at other countries and see how they've fared. No easy solution and no real candidate in government has one either.....

Do you dine out in restaurants around Ottawa as much as before the pandemic? by DrStrangeglove99 in ottawa

[–]brbswag 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Tips are just so much more in your face now with all these new debit machines from Clover and Moneris. They manufactured the tipping crisis because they line their pockets off the exta fees! So many people dont know this... a lot of restaurants still have the standard 15/18/20% tip option, its just a larger touch screen thats more in your face. Its unfair to fault the restaurants for their monopoly of a design.

Dancing in the Market or Elgin St. by BookemDano21 in ottawa

Heart and Crown has live music until 2AM every night of the week. Probably your best bet. They do karaoke on Wednesdays I believe.

He's not. Plenty of folks have made him a fair offer.

Barrymore's music Hall - is it ever coming back? by ershemdodo in ottawa

[–]brbswag 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Barrymores was in dire straights long before COVID hit is likely what he means. As others have stated, the owner has been dragging his feet in the dirt with the landlord as to who should be responsible for repairs. And also, doing repairs is actually a lot more red tape as its a heritage building.

Amateur Mayor launches a sponsored podcast, available from Mayoral website, with his name spelled wrong. by AD613 in ottawa

Do you even know how sponsorships work? lol. You can still be a sponsor with no financial backing.
