, Bier Markt, famous for its unrivalled selection of world-class biers, made-from-scratch food pairings and live entertainment will open on Sparks Street in Ottawa. Located at 156 Sparks Street at O’Connor, Bier Markt is excited to bring its unique offering to Eastern Ontario.

“Bier Markt has 150 ways we’re going to help quench the thirst of Ottawa residents - one for each brand of bier we offer,” said Robert Medal, Operating Partner for Bier Markt. Ottawa has been on the Bier Markt radar for a while now and for good reason. “Bier is really very international, and Ottawa really is, from the embassies to all the different cultures that are present in Ottawa, an international hub,” says Medal. With such a viable market, it was just a matter of finding the right location. When the perfect space opened on Sparks Street Medal and team jumped on the opportunity.

The move to Sparks Street with its historical architecture, presented the opportunity to transform a historic heritage building into a gathering place for Ottawans – something Bier Markt hopes will add to the recent revitalization of Sparks Street. ** About Bier Markt Ottawa ** The dining room at the new 8,800 sq. foot Bier Markt Ottawa seats 100+ guests and the bar area seats an additional 150+ guests.
