what was ottawa nightlife life when you were younger?

i’m 25, born in ‘98 and i became of age here in 2017. i remember going to clubs like babylon with older friends that have long since shut down. if i’m being honest, i don’t remember much.

there’s an almost two year gap where i didn’t go out clubbing, 2020-2021, and after that point i started going to montreal or travelling elsewhere with friends and found myself going out less here in ottawa. i love shows, i’ll go to live on elgin or the rainbow. some friends like the show or happy fish but that’s not really my thing. i’ll find a rave here or there or some edm thing or pop up at a cafe or studio overnight.

out of curiosity, what do you like to do now for going out? what did you like to do before my time?

i love hearing friends talk about nightlife in the 2010’s and i miss places like babylon (or at least what i remember).
