Beer bar and bistro with live music and karaoke in Ottawa's Gay Village
Atomic Rooster is a neighborhood bar and bistro located on Bank Street inside Ottawa's downtown Village district, situated near the permanent rainbow crosswalk at Somerset Street. The venue features 24 draft beer taps pouring local microbrews and seasonal selections, paired with a kitchen that stays open until 1am serving pub fare like pizzas, house burgers, and strip steaks alongside a weekend brunch beginning at 10am. The recurring entertainment schedule includes acoustic open-mic nights on Wednesdays, weekly live blues bands, karaoke, and 'Drag at the Rooster' trivia nights with no cover charge. The venue also features monthly rotating gallery shows by local neighborhood artists, including the annual crowd-judged 'Cock Show Art Expo,' and is documented across regional Canadian LGBTQ+ media registries.
