Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Wakefield

"Despite being open for over 20 years, the Manx Pub remains a well kept secret, tucked away in a basement on Elgin Street. The dimly lit interior appears relatively unassuming, but the place has a great relaxed atmosphere, fostered by its arts pub heritage. True to form, the walls are decorated with local art, rotated on a monthly basis and the place often hosts jazz and DJ nights on Sunday and Monday evenings."

"Located right on Elgin Street in the heart of downtown, The Manx is this super cool subterranean (downstairs) hideaway pub. Inside, the tables are cozy and the place is filled with art and a classic pub atmosphere. The prices aren’t too crazy and you’ll find a pretty decent selection of craft beers and whiskey."

"I was walking to another restaurant a week ago and walked past their patio and checked out the menu. The staff said kitchen just closed but he can check..."

"In a warehouse space wedged between Chinatown and Hintonburg is this great all-rounder craft brewery — its offerings run the gamut from straight-up hoppy IPAs and an oatmeal stout through to Beyond the Pale’s iconic pink fuzz, given some extra zing with citrus zest going into the brewing process."

"Beyond the Pale started as a pipe dream for a couple of guys that really liked homebrewing. They now have eight years under their belt, and have established a reputation for strong quality beer. Their Pink Fuzz Grapefruit Wheat Ale happens to be a fan favourite."

"Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat: 11:00 PM – 9:00 PM Sun: 11:00 PM – 6:00 PM Mon: Closed for brewing"

"This Southern restaurant has turned its Centretown building into quite the triple threat — head to basement speakeasy (officially named the Staff Room) for a hefty whiskey selection and some of the most creative cocktails in town featuring spirits twisted into new forms like kumquat vodka or lemongrass-lime gin. Now, the second level is home to Jabberwocky, which dishes up vegan and vegetarian bites and truly excellent twists on classic libations — like the breakfast old fashioned with oatmeal whiskey, maple, and coffee, the bubbly “Bullesvardier”, or the mezcal- and tequila-laden Oaxaca Fizz."

"Approximately nobody thinks of Ottawa as a destination for Southern food — and, yet, here we are. Union 613 is doing fancied-up versions of catfish, fried chicken and side ribs, but the quality is tip-top and the restaurant’s ethos is just as good (it offers staff health plans, for example). It’s got brunch takeout on Sundays (think fried chicken and waffles) and a stellar cocktail, craft beer and wine list that can be taken to-go as part of Ontario’s COVID rules."

"Ottawa’s reigning champions of southern food aren’t afraid to make political statements; they also do a fine brunch with options from chicken and waffles to shrimp and grits, accompanied with buttermilk biscuits. There’s a tidy cocktail selection beyond the tired old mimosa. A post shared by Viktor S. DeVice (@viktordevice) on Oct 29, 2017 at 7:47am PDT"

"Located on 425 Bank Street, Fauna is a restaurant that has spent two years on designing and renovating their restaurant to provide you an ultimate experience of cocktailing. So there is no way you’ll be disappointed with the interiors. They use local ingredients that depend on season, and they also serve smaller plates so you can enjoy more variety of their exotic food."

"The Bank Street restaurant is offering dinner for two for takeout and delivery for $160. You can pre-order online or order Dec. 31 for takeout and delivery. View this post on Instagram"

"Indian, Vegetarian Cuisine, Beverage And Cocktail Service, Casual Dining, Restaurant With Catering Services, Children's Rates, Comfortable Booths, Restaurant With Delivery Services, Ethnic Specialized Services, Family Dining, Off-premise Catering, Vegetarian. Indian food in Montreal simply because of shortage, but Kumaresan Muthukrishnan and his wife Geetha are determine..."

"Located at 221 Rideau Street, Mavericks is the place for you to get your head banging on!. This great nightclub is Ottawa’s prime spot for live rock, grunge, and punk music. Over the years, Mavericks has welcomed hundreds of top-notch rock acts to its stage from both Canada and abroad."

"This historic neighbourhood watering hole got something of a makeover when the owners of prominent seafood restaurant Whalesbone took it over back in 2012. It’s officially the “Elmdale Oyster House & Tavern”, so you can play it off as a restaurant or bar as needed, with oysters (duh) a fixture, alongside other pubby fare. While it might have moved away from its working class origins, it’s still an eminently warm and welcoming spot."

"Initially started as a chocolate drinking bar, Cacao 70 soon started to transform chocolate into exciting flavour adventures. Adventures we are sure your date will just love. Cacao invites you and your date to try the following: crunch, sip, slurp and savour your way to a state of chocolate."

"One of my favourite places for an afternoon stroll is in the Dominion Arboretum. The arboretum is a beautiful oasis in the middle of Ottawa, about 10 minutes from the downtown. I like to park at the top and walk a 3.3k loop around the outer edge of the park, but you can also access the Arboretum beginning from Dow’s Lake or Carleton University at the locks."

"Established back in 1889, these 64-acres of rolling land showcases a large plant collection of 4000 species. The Dominion Arboretum is Canada’s oldest arboretum with 1000 tree species, several microclimates, and wonderful panoramic views.Address: Arboretum, OttawaWebsite"

"If cycling to your picnic spot is your goal, Parc des Cèdres in the Aylmer sector of Gatineau should be high on your list. You can bike there from downtown Ottawa and Hull via the scenic Voyageurs Pathway along the Ottawa River, and you can reward yourself with a swim on the beach, too. Showers, change rooms, washrooms, a snack bar, beach volleyball courts, a bike repair station and children’s play structures are among the park’s many amenities."

"The 50-meter-high Parliament Hill is another destination that needs to be on your list. Coming in the full splendor of Victorian Gothic sandstone, the Parliament Hill is bound to be filled with people who are always gasping at what they see. Apart from that, the place also attracts people in the form of Changing of the Guard, which takes place on summer mornings."

"One of the most well known shooting locations in downtown Ottawa, but just because it’s been captured again and again doesn’t mean it isn’t worth shooting. Find a new time of day and vantage point to photograph Parliament from."
