The Rainbow Bistro
From its roots as Ottawa’s “Home of the Blues” to its current status as a legendary live music venue, The Rainbow Bistro has played host to many of North America’s most influential artists.
The Rainbow's atmosphere is that of a "chalet" with two stories, a fireplace, exposed stone and brick walls complemented by wooden beams, bar, and fixtures. Skylights and huge sliding windows complete the relaxing atmosphere. On the second floor, there is a pool table and a great bird’s eye view of the stage. This truly is a great place to enjoy live music. You're always in the company of good friends. The Rainbow's friendly, talented bar staff is always happy to fulfill your beverage needs while you enjoy the look and feel of the venue. An excellent combination to complement music that ranges from the blues along with chasers of R&B, funk, rock, jazz, reggae, and SKA. During Ottawa's Bluesfest, the Rainbow hosts evening performances of Bluesfest performers and is the unofficial after-hours club. Many performers come by and jam in the wee hours. You just never know who might show up!
