HISTORY

[Photo - Welcome to Zaphod Beeblebrox] Zaphod Beeblebrox, the original pub at the edge of the universe, is an intimate live music venue and dance club. Home of the world famous Pan Galactic Gargleblaster and other such exotic galactic cocktails, the nightclub has played host to an eclectic mix of performers, including Alanis Morrissette, Cracker, Afghan Whigs, Ashley MacIsaac, Mzwake Mbuli and countless others.

Originally located on Rideau Street, the club moved to it's present location in March of 1992, and has since become an Ottawa institution. Owned by Eugene Haslam, the club has continually been at the forefront of cutting-edge live entertainment and dance music. It's staff and patrons exude a hip, laid-back sense of Ottawa culture which is why it is the National Capital's best loved hangout.

[Photo - Home of the world famous Pan Galactic Gargleblaster] The club is open from 4:00 PM everyday. Special drink prices are in effect 'till 8 PM every day, and all day Monday and Tuesday. So pop on in and have a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster, see a band and dance your face off after the show.

Unless otherwise specified, all shows are licensed and admittance is restricted to patrons 19 years of age or older. Photo ID is required.

ZAPHOD'S FUN FOR ALL

Reprinted from Marche
December 1996By Joel Sloan

For the past five years the Byward Market has been home to a world-renowned nightclub destination.

Yet locals like myself take for granted that not every city is spoiled with a place to go that offers the atmosphere and energy of Zaphod Beeblebrox (a club that gets its name from a character in the celebrated "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy").

Ask any non-Ottawan where they go for their night-clubbing experience and they'll give you a unanimous answer: Zaphod Beeblebrox. Zaphod's, as it's more commonly known, is an increasingly popular destination among night-clubbers in Ottawa and its surrounding area.

But it has also earned a reputation that spans the globe.

After talking about this with one of Zaphod's co-owners, Eugene Haslam, this became very apparent.

To illustrate the point that Zaphod Beeblebrox is known worldwide, Haslam tells stories of being to exotic places around the world - a club in Florence, or an airport in Amsterdam, and being stopped by complete strangers and asked, "Aren't you the guy from Zaphod's?"

But, at a more regional level, Zaphod's is well liked among people who are weekend-tripping to the city as well.

Dawn Mount, a patron from Waterloo, had this to say about Zaphod Beeblebrox: "It's intimate and is really the only alternative atmosphere (in Ottawa)".

Zaphod's is recognized as the place where people from out of town can accurately take the Ottawa night scene's temperature. Because of the club's attentive nature, it is indicative of what Ottawa's nightclub enthusiasts are into at any given time.

There are a number of reasons for Zaphod's precocious popularity. Zaphod's is located in the western side of the Market in close proximity to many popular taverns and restaurants. Many take advantage of the latest music that can't be found anywhere else in the city, and enjoy the high-energy atmosphere.

Also, Zaphod's has been showcasing musical talent from around the world, at moderate prices.

The club's success can be attributed to any combination of these benefits and services. When asked about Zaphod's future, Haslam can only reply, "More of the same."
