Charlotte

This contemporary lounge on Elgin Street in downtown Ottawa invites you to kick back on retro-style sofas while enjoying drinks from around the world, innovative bar snacks and DJ beats.

With its board game nights, wine flights, comfortable armchairs and mid-century vibe, Charlotte wants you to feel as relaxed as you would in your own living room—if you also had a diverse menu of craft beers, clever cocktails and vegetarian sharing plates at home. Nibble on treats such as warm olives, cheese with preserves, or sweet potato fries with truffle aioli while sipping an Ottawa Valley beer, a craft cocktail made with local gin, or a French pinot noir. Everything from the glassware to the organic cold-pressed juices reflects the lounge's focus on quality.
