historical Watering hole
The Château Lafayette is older
than most of Ottawa, even the
Parliament buildings. It first
opened its doors in 1849 as a ho-
tel. Now it’s a great place to spend
a Friday or Saturday night with
friends, food, and fun. Plus, ev-
ery Tuesday is the famous open
mic night, and every Wednesday
night folk-rock troubadour John
Carroll keeps the room company.
But, honestly, every night is a
good night at the Laff.
