The House Rules

Pull Up a
Seat.

Tucked into Ottawa's ByWard Market, Speakeasy is an elegant restaurant and live-music venue where the lights stay low and the night runs long.

Internationally inspired plates, craft cocktails poured with prohibition-era swagger, live performances every evening, and a candlelit room that feels like a secret worth keeping. Pull up a chair. This must be the place.

The Speakeasy doorman in a yellow suit and green mask outside 55 York Street

At the door

The man in the
yellow suit.

Every speakeasy needs a doorman. Ours doesn't ask for a password. He just grins, holds the door, and points you down the red carpet.

If you spot him on York Street, you've found the right place. Say hello, get a photo, and head inside. The candles are already lit.

“Kyle was a 10/10 server — so patient, so nice. The food and drinks were great and the vibe in here is unforgettable. Love it.”

“Hosted my son's 30th birthday here and it was seamless from start to finish. The whole thing was arranged long distance, too. The food was excellent as was the service. Highly recommended!”
