Best Places for the Best Martinis

[Guest C*****tte]

I will be in Ottawa for non-work reasons and would like to enjoy a drink with a friend. I am fond of dirty gin martinis. Where in Ottawa would you suggest I go to get one?

 

Same question for other cities I visit - Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria.

Social downtown makes a nice martini! It is on Sussex near Rideau.

Thanks so much!

 

If you happen to see me out and about at one of these places, please DO NOT say hi. I will likely be with friends who no nothing of this endeavour of mine.

 

You can PM me later. Just describe yourself so we can both be in the know. ;-)

The Buzz on Bank near Lisgar has excellent martinis, and great food. It's my favorite casual fine dining getaway. Weds is $5 martinis, Thurs is $5 tapas, Friday and Saturday they have a DJ in house spinning ambient tunes.

Social has great martinis and a great ambiance!

One of my fav spots..

I also like the martini selection at the Collection.

if you go to Collection, order a "multiple orgasm" martini.

 

its even funnier if you order another after.

 

"waiter...can I have another multiple orgasm?"

 

hehe

Well if you happen to be in the Vancouver area, I know there are lots of spots downtown, but I'll tell you a couple of places on Commercial Drive that are good for martinis. One place that has live jazz nightly, is quite the happening little spot, called The Libra Room, www.libraroom.com. Also, there is a place called Clove further down, www.cloverestaurant.com. I quite liked their drink selection as well & they had a nice chai martini. Plus their appys are really good, the Ahi Tuna Ceviche is killer.
