About the restaurant

Joe Bird is a place of worship to all things chicken, authentic flavors and beer (because who doesn’t like beer?). Scoot on down to the lake and join us for a trip to flavor town with a view. We’re serving up our chicken seven days a week, with a soul healing hangover-curing brunch on weekends.

PLEASE NOTE: our Patio is WALK-IN only.

Moxie's was a good experience for lunch. The service was a little slow, but the food and ambiance were great.

Social - Ottawa

CAN$51 and over

Bistro

ByWard Market

About the restaurant

Opened in the summer of 1999, SOCIAL was received as the perfect blend of restaurant and bar. It was envisioned as a place where guests could enjoy an evening drink without feeling obligated to order dinner too, but where a sizzling menu meant that food was always an excellent option.

20 years later, SOCIAL continues to deliver. Known in the capital city for its ambiant and modern vibe, fifteen-foot ceilings, its secluded and beautiful courtyard patio, and gorgeous stone walls inside + out-- SOCIAL offers an unparalleled atmosphere for a sit-down dinner or some after-work cocktails. Guests can expect high-quality professional service and a menu to match, proving that SOCIAL is truly a downtown destination that has it all.

Come enjoy the culinary experience given by our Head Chef Peter Schulz and his team. Find us on Wednesdays 6 to 9 for Live Music, and Sundays 5-8!
