The Show sits at 104 Clarence Street in the Byward Market, Ottawa's main nightlife strip, and positions itself as the city's biggest university/college nightclub. The room runs on a high-energy production setup — state-of-the-art sound and lighting aimed squarely at the student crowd. Music swings wide: Top 40, throwbacks, EDM, house, rock, and country on rotation across Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
Open Thursday through Saturday, 10 PM to 2 AM. Cover runs $10–$20 depending on the night, waived if you're on the guestlist before 11 PM. Crowd skews heavily student — University of Ottawa and Carleton are the main feeders. Byward Market means easy bar-hopping before or after.
