About
The Cheshire Cat Pub occupies an old stone schoolhouse on Richardson Side Road in the village of Carp, west of Ottawa. The heritage building's stone walls, wood beams, and small-room layout give the pub its distinct character. The kitchen focuses on craft beer and local food — pub fare with some bistro flourishes.
Live music runs three nights a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, spanning alternative, jazz/blues, and singer-songwriter acts.
