Market businesses seem, for the most part, excited for a new kid to join the block.
The Sens House, a sports bar in which the Ottawa Senators hockey team is a partner, is soon to join York Street’s extensive lineup of bars and restaurants in the ByWard Market.
For Steve Ryan, owner of The Senate Sports Tavern a few blocks away on Clarence Street, that means better business as more sports-minded people come down to watch the game.
“I think it’s a positive thing. There’s only so many seats everybody can take down here, so the overflow business will be positive for the market in general,” he said.
“A lot of bars and businesses that aren’t even directly sports-related get people who come down to watch the hockey game,” added Ryan. “I’m sure a lot of people that come here on a regular basis will check it out, including myself — I’m excited to have another sports bar that’s Sens-related in the market.”
The ByWard Market Business Improvement Association also called it great news.
“We’re really anticipating the grand opening and looking forward to having a new business open in the market,” said Katherine Solomon, the BIA’s marketing and advertising co-ordinator. “The Ottawa Senators are so huge in Ottawa.”
Solomon sad people are “yearning” for more local businesses like these. “People don’t want to see chains down here,” she said.

For some, the Ottawa Senators organization throwing its support behind a specific bar seems unusual.
John Couse, who owns Lieutenant’s Pump on Elgin Street — part of the so-called “Red Mile” — said he thinks this has the potential to alienate other bars and restaurants who are good supporters of the Senators.
“We’re very supportive of the Ottawa Senators,” he said. “It surprises me a little bit that they would attach their name to a specific entity.”
He said competition from the ByWard Market is hard to gauge. “There’s probably 60 or 80 restaurants and bars, and they’re all vying to attract an audience. So everybody’s trying to figure out a theme or an angle to get people to come down,” he said. “We’ll see what happens.”
