About Bar Ocelli
Bar Ocelli is the only Ottawa bar to receive a 2025 Spirited Awards honoree nod for "Best New International Cocktail Bars (Canada)." Co-owner Witek Wojaczek brings experience from London's Beaufort Bar and Artesian (world's best bar). The moody, intimate space has no TVs and no loud music — just cocktails.
Twelve seasonal signatures rotate alongside five spirit-forward classics. Sunday brings $2 oysters and $17 martinis.
