I’ve been bartending in Ottawa for over 14 years. It’s the community that keeps me going in this industry. Especially in a smaller market, the people you surround yourself with and the community you build can make or break your experience.

What I love most is that this community is constantly evolving. It’s become a place where we can share knowledge, learn from each other, grow together, and continue pushing each other creatively. For me, it really feels like an ever-evolving home for growth, connection, and knowledge—and I’m really proud to be a part of it.

Food and drink pretty much run through my DNA. From the moment my dad stuck me behind the cheese counter at 15, food has pretty much owned me. One of the many great neighborhood regulars that I served over the years, and whom I have had the awesome privilege of getting to know, was Stephen Flood. Stephen introduced me to the wonderful world of Amaro, after which there was no turning back. Suffice to say, bartending and making Negroni’s has been an exciting Journey of discovery

Grace

I love how no two days are the same behind the bar. Having formerly held more monotonous jobs, I find I’m much more suited to an environment where I’m constantly thinking and adjusting on my feet. I’m also very fond of the close-knit community that the hospitality industry in Ottawa has built, and the fact that that I have friends behind bars all over the city.

I started my hospitality journey in 2018 when I got my first restaurant job as a hostess, not thinking that it would lead me to where I am now, behind the wood at Giulia market.

From barbacking at riviera and being guided by the legendary Mr Flood and his talented mixology team there, I found myself bewitched by the alchemy of cocktails and the ability to create an unforgettable experience for someone.

Chef Roman : A love story in pictures.

Always quick with a smile, a guiding hand, a word of encouragement.

A massive talent, a team builder, a beacon of light.

There’s really no way to put into words what he’s meant to us here at Riviera over the past 6 years. Or to say how much we wish the world for him in his next adventures. ❤️

On Sunday, September 27 Riviera will be opening its doors at 6pm for a first come first serve party to celebrate all things Negroni, as part of Negroni week.
There will be a menu of Riviera greatest hits negronis, some deep cuts available on a one night only basis, and some playful Campari inspired treats from the kitchen.

And we wanted to introduce you to some of the 12 superstar bartenders who’ll be joining us that night to compete for the title of this year’s best Negroni.

This is part 1 :)

Sophie

After a little over a year of bartending, I’ve come to love the level of creativity and attention to detail involved in the work. It’s a challenging, fast paced, and rewarding environment where you’re constantly learning new things, meeting new people, and getting the opportunity to have a positive impact on someone’s day. I’m eager to keep learning about the seemingly infinite number of ways to concoct a beverage, and I’m excited to taste some delicious Negronis!

tia

Tia’s spent nine years in hospitality and three behind the bar, drawn to the people, the regulars, and the community that forms around a shared table. Food and drink have always had a way of bringing people together through whatever’s going on around them, and those moments are part of what shapes the classics we still come back to.

Joey Brownson

I recently hit four years of bartending in this wild, wonderful industry. Unsurprisingly, I’m about as hooked as I was when I made my first drink, if not more. Call it lingering mild alcoholism or a deep-seated desire to be subservient, but creating a drink that makes someone stop and smile for even one moment makes all the hard work worth it.

Ellen

When I started at dreamland I was working as a dishwasher and after a few months I started bartending. When I took over the bar program I wanted to make sure all of the drinks were fun and approachable. Recently I’ve really enjoyed the group of people I have met and worked with in the service industry (I also like eating the olives)
