As Ottawa is pal of one of the most progrsively gay-iendly untri the Wtern Hemisphere, 's not surprisg that the cy has a sizable GLBT muny. You won't fd the r party scene more typil of Montreal and Toronto, but there are a handful of fun gay bars, not to mentn a great variety of hip rtrants and loung terg to a mixed bunch. Follow Bank Street south of Parliament Hill for about 10 blocks, and you'll fd yourself the heart of Ottawa's Gay Village.
The roughly six-block span of Bank Street (and to a lser extent O'Connor Street) between Somerset and Gladstone mak up the heart of this GLBT hub, which has jt one gay bar but several shops, rtrants, and f wh strong muny ti. Plenty of lols assert that "Gay Village" is somethg of a misnomer given how eclectic the aforementned Bank Street area is, and also takg to nsiratn how geographilly diffe the cy's GLBT muny is.
There's a noticeable gay prence, both terms of nightlife and dg, the lively and hip Byward Market district, on the northeast si of downtown, jt across the Ri Canal om Parliament Hill. Some of Ottawa's gay nightspots are right the center of downtown, jt blocks om Parliament Hill. Other good bets clu the Bank Street Gay Village, the trendy stretch of eateri a few blocks east of the Village on Elg Street, the lively Glebe area, and Wtboro Village.
