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

It’s the biggest crowd yet at Ottawa’s Hottest Club, Wellington St.

They were spinning tunes when I first arrived but what I can only describe as a J-Roc impersonator was hyping the crowd after #cdnpoli #ottnews

If you’ve been following this series, you already know that Ottawa’s Hottest Club, Wellington St, has everything.

It has either Starsky or Hutch, more porta potties than needed and an Infowars fan #cdnpoli #ottnews

Wellington St became Ottawa’s Hottest Club because of extensive renos but they’ve added yet another feature to the VIP Deck.

An LED sign is now up to ask some friends like Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Don Cheery and Tucker Carlson to come hang out

#cdnpoli #ottnews

After being downgraded to Ottawa’s second hottest club (as determined by me), Rideau and Sussex stepped up their game up tonight.

The DJ is back, the speakers are blaring, the diesel is pungent and they are playing the hits #cdnpoli #ottnews

In a bid to rebuild their tattered reputation, Ottawa’s Second Hottest club, Rideau and Sussex, pulled out the stops to show it has everything.

A polish flag beside a sign with Hitler on it, hot dogs, and some VIP guests, the cops! #cdnpoli #ottnews

Lots of signs at Rideau and Sussex but this one caught my eye

“If I forced my jab in you, I’d be in jail” #cdnpoli #ottnews

One drawback to Rideau and Sussex, long lines to go to the washroom.

It is -26 right now, and it’s clear that 4 porta potties won’t cut it.

Guess they should have called up Toddy’s Potties like Wellington St did #cdnpoli #ottnews

When I was headed back to the office, I saw a bunch of cops getting organized and I thought that someone might be getting arrested.

Turns out this dude fell over and they just went to help him. #cdnpoli #ottnews

Friends, I’m back out on the streets and we have a new contender for Ottawa’s Hottest Club.

The Freedom Beer Tent is now playing club beats and the mainly Québécois crowd is loving it.

The truckers are also laying on the horn so they drop the beat #cdnpoli #ottnews

As any top club would, The Freedom Beer Tent has everything.

Deflated bouncy castles, tin foil hats and Guy Fawkes masks #cdnpoli #ottnews

One drawback for the Freedom Beer Tent, it’s just a dude playing stuff from his phone.

That wouldn’t be acceptable at Ottawa’s Second Hottest Club, Rideau and Sussex but the crowd loves it anyways #cdnpoli #ottnews

Ottawa’s Hottest Club, Wellington St, has closed for the night but looks like the Bitcoin flag guy (who was here last weekend) might be scouting out a potential sponsorship deal #cdnpoli #ottnews

Ottawa’s Second Hottest Club, Rideau and Sussex is still going strong, despite the crowd thinning out a little bit.

The truckers are revving their engine which lets out a bunch of diesel smoke and I cannot describe just how bad it smells #cdnpoli #ottnews

I’m sure everyone is wondering, Mack! Where are all the cops?

In their cars!

On my second time out tonight, I spent about 40 minutes in the crowd and I didn’t see a single cops walking around. They are all in their cars like this, just listening to the party #cdnpoli #ottnews
