We are an iconic destination housed on the banks of the Rideau River in a green space setting at
1 Donald St., where the Adawe Crossing spans the Rideau River. A walking, cycling path
meanders outside our doors, and we are an access point for the Rideau Winter Trail. Since 2017
Rideau Sports Centre and The Bridge Public House have been open to the public offering tennis
and a variety of sport activities on the location of the former Rideau Tennis Club, which operated
for over 100 years. At The Bridge we offer great tasting food cooked from scratch and warm,
friendly service.

    We were there for a team lunch and needed to be gone by 1pm. The server did his best to accommodate and was very friendly.

    No where near as good as it used to be. Only had Ontario wines available. Cobb salad had too much dressing. Husbands pasta was just so/so.

    Our bartender/Server, Chris was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wine and beer selections. His recommendations for food were appreciated and helpful. His service was impeccable. It’s been a very long time since we received service like that. The ambiance was perfect. A fun, relaxing place to have drinks and or dinner with friends. In addition, myself and a colleague organized a retirement party at the Bridge and we were very pleased with how smoothly everything went. We had it outside on the upper deck. It was beautifully decorated and the food and service was great! Michelle looked after us and she ensured we had a stress free fabulous party.

    We went here for Sunday Brunch, A large casual dining room, and not busy, so it was not noisy. A nice menu with Brunch and Lunch items. We all had something from the Brunch menu, which were all very good and ,nicely presented. Very good and friendly service. A nice surprise drink for the kids!

    Our family of 8 people reserved for my son's 17th birthday. There was another party using the main room so we were seated in an additional room. The food and service was excellent. Prices were reasonable. The server told us about specials on other days of the week. Will definitely visit again.
