Friends, it’s time to check-in on Ottawa’s nightlife!

As I reported yesterday, Ottawa’s second hottest club, Wellington St, was undergoing renos but they’ve gone bigger than I could imagine

They’ve added a massive big screen behind the DJ, to accompany the VIP deck #ottnews

This goes without saying, but Wellington St has everything.

Postal service, ear protection and even satellite TV.

I wonder if the Super Bowl will be on the big screen on Sunday… #cdnpoli #ottnews

It’s raining tonight but that hasn’t stopped Ottawa newest club, O’Connor’s, from opening!

O’Connor’s has been functioning as a daycare normally, and even got a visit from the police yesterday to offer the parents help from child services. #cdnpoli #ottnews

If you’re tired from dancing or just want to dry off from the rain, you can pop into the Freedom Beer Tent and enjoy a view of the Peace Tower from Wellington.

The cops tried to stop this from being built earlier but here it is #cdnpoli #Ottnews

And while we’re at it, let’s check-in on the enforcement of the movement of fuel…

Basically every time I’m outside I see the cops standing/sitting around while fuel gets moved around with no intervention #cdnpoli #ottnews

Our latest dispatch from Ottawa's nightlight

Convoy organizer and newly minted Wellington St. VIP Pat King came to enjoy Ottawa's Second Hottest Club.

King danced a jig on stage, while fireworks went off in the crowd in the background #cdnpoli #ottnews

I’m back out at Ottawa’s second hottest club, Wellington St

The DJ is done and the big screen is shut down but that isn’t stopping our latest celebrity, Elmo, from feeling the love from the crowd.

Honking and engine revving has started back up #cdnpoli #ottnews

When I go clubbing, I hate to wait in line for the washroom.

That’s not an issue at Ottawa’s second hottest club, Wellington St, thanks to 10 newly delivered porta potties from Toddy’s Potties #cdnpoli #ottnews

The newly created Freedom Beer Tent has already relocated up the street to a better real estate but it turns out, it’s not actually a beer tent.

It’s a supply tent with hay, folding tables, tools and a generator #cdnpoli #ottnews

Now that the Freedom Beer Tent has become the Freedom Supply Tent, folks are using the supplies to create a new Freedom Beer Tent, right beside it.

No word on if anyone plans to jump through a folding table from the supply tent. If they do, please invite @glen_mcgregor

If the DJ has stopped spinning and you want to keep blowing off some steam, there are plenty of shovels to get rid of the snow.

This is regular occurrence down here because the police have no control of the area so city services can’t preform basic functions #cdnpoli #ottnews

I know there is one burning Q everyone has for me tonight

Mack, is Rideau and Sussex still Ottawa’s hottest club?

The answer is no.

It’s still open but you can barely hear the music and it doesn’t have the fancy renos Wellington St #cdnpoli #ottnews

Where are the cops you ask?

In their police cars.

I saw three different small groups of cops in the crowd tonight, so I’d put the cop to party goer at 100-1 tonight #cdnpoli #ottnews

For the folks in my mentions saying that I should be taking this occupation more seriously 🤬🤬🤬!
