Pour Boy on Somerset is one of my favorite spots in Ottawa for a casual night out. The atmosphere is laid-back and friendly, with a great mix of people and music that’s never too loud. The food is solid — especially for the price. Their burgers and nachos are always on point, and they’ve got some of the best daily specials and cheap pints in the city. The staff are super chill and welcoming, which really adds to the charm of the place. Whether you’re meeting friends for drinks, catching a live show, or just grabbing a quick bite, Pour Boy never disappoints. Definitely a hidden gem in Centretown!

Stopped into Poor Boy and it was exactly what you want it to be. Nothing fancy, just solid food, good portions, and a laid-back vibe. Everything came out fast and hit the spot. It’s the kind of place you go when you want something easy and satisfying without overthinking it. Simple, reliable, and always a good call.

Pour Boy on Somerset has SUCH a good poutine. Perfect atmosphere for a night out with friends— lots of good drink and menu options. Servers were friendly and checked in often :)

I've been here a few times in the past month or so, on date night and with friends. Everything from the service to the food has been great. So far, my hubby and I have tried the udon noodles, the wings, the perogies, the onion rings, sweet potato fries, and the fish and chips and for dessert the ice cream sandwich. Along with Sangria for me and rum cocktails for him. Food and drinks were delicious! The only reason I gave a 4☆ for the atmosphere is that the lighting is a little dim, especially upstairs, but the vibe is fantastic! Prices are reasonable, and I'd go so far to even say slightly under some other pubs, which have pumped up their prices quite a bit in the last two years. It was a pleasant surprise and our friends remarked on it as well. The menu is varied with vegan/vegetarian options as well. Parking is a bit dicey as it's Ottawa paid street parking until after 7 p.m., when it becomes free. After a storm, they didn't clear the roads well, so we had to park on/between snowbanks. But that's a city issue , not Pour Boy's, but I just thought I'd mention it. The only downfall to this pub is that it's not accessible. So, for those who are disabled/wheelchair bound , it's a no-go unless someone can help you over the door threshold. If you have reduced mobility, the lower level is fine, but the stairs are a bit steep to get upstairs, plus the bathrooms are also upstairs, so this might end up an issue as well. All in all, it's a great little place, and I'm glad it was recommended to me. It just might be our new go-to place for nights out with friends 🧡.
