1986 vs. 2026: a 40 year snapshot of what the bar looked like in the rough 1980s. I’m standing in the same spot where these photos were taken. Big thanks to Phil Mader, poet and writer, for sharing these snaps of a photoshoot he did to promote a book he was writing.

Do you have old pics of the bar? Please send them to us. It’s all we have to document those crazy years!!!

There’s no shortage of entertainment at the Laff, and through these unprecedented times, we’ve had to step back and look at the big picture. Lucky Ron has built a legacy and tradition that cannot be duplicated or replaced. The show is his - it’s The Lucky Ron Show; that will never change. By his side to accompany him, or rock out on Stage No.4, long-time fan and huge supporter, George Stryker, will take the stage every week. With talented special guests, bands, and musicians every week, join us, starting at 4pm, every single Saturday afternoon, for the best (free) entertainment experience you can have in Ottawa.
