Nightlife and Entertainment
Ottawa has several vibrant downtown nightclubs and is a major port of call for big-name touring acts, most of whom appear at the Corel Centre, about 15km southwest of downtown (tel 755-1166). Otherwise, things aren't too exciting, though jazz is extremely popular with regular gigs from leading artists in a variety of informal venues. For listings on events of all sorts, there's the free Where Ottawa-Hull , a monthly promotional magazine designed for tourists. On Fridays the Ottawa Citizen prints a list of current entertainment, but for gig details as well as other more objective listings and information the weekly Xpress newspaper is the capital's trendiest and most comprehensive source.
