The Prescott, located at the corner of Beech and Preston Street in Ottawa, is one of the oldest licensed drinking establishments in the city, with roots tracing back to 1934. Originally the Preston Hotel, it was renamed The Prescott in 1941, symbolizing its role as the last watering hole between Ottawa and Prescott, 100 km down the highway. During WWII, co-owner Giuseppe Costantini, an Italian-Canadian, was interned by the Canadian government as an "enemy alien," temporarily shutting down the hotel. Despite these challenges, The Prescott continued under the sole ownership of his partner, Antonio Disipio, and became a fixture in the community. Over the years, it has hosted family events, sponsored sports teams, and remained an iconic spot for locals. Today, it stands as a retro eatery, preserving its legacy and charm as a cornerstone of Preston Street.

    Went to JOEY Lansdowne a couple of months ago, absolutely loved it, and decided to come back for my birthday and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, loud, and vibrant in the best way, and I really loved the decor, especially the beautiful chandeliers that gave the restaurant such a classy feel. The staff who attended to us was great, very welcoming, friendly, patient (as there was a kid), and helpful. The gentleman answered all our questions and even gave great suggestions, which made the experience even better. I would honestly recommend this place to anyone and everyone looking for a fun dining experience with great food and great vibes. My only advice is to arrive early because parking can definitely be a challenge. Overall, such a great spot and I’ll definitely be back!
