The Mill Street Brewpub in Ottawa is located at 555 Wellington Street. The 6000-square-feet venue includes an open concept brewery, a sampling bar, restaurant, and retail store.
In January 2012, The Mill Street Brewery opened a brewpub in Ottawa; its first location outside of Toronto’s Distillery District. The new brewpub is located in a historic 165-year-old pulp mill on the south shore of the Ottawa River, between Portage Bridge and LeBreton Flats. In addition to enjoying the industrial heritage and charm of the restored site, visitors are able to grab a pint in the restaurant setting of the establishment. They can also embark on the daily on-site brewery tour which includes sampling of various craft beers in the likes of Valley Irish Red and Ambre de la Chaudière.
