Home From Hard Rock After Midnight

In the small hours, the shuttle from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa leaves Leitrim Station behind and heads for Uplands Station. This page follows those last runs toward dawn, and what you can do once the final one has gone.

After midnight

The last run to Leitrim

The last shuttle from the resort to Leitrim Station leaves at 12:00 midnight. Heading the other way, the final run from Leitrim Station back to the resort leaves at 12:30 AM. After that, the next departure from Leitrim is the 7:30 AM run.

Earlier, the evening has a hole in it. No shuttle runs at all between 10:00 and 10:59 PM. From the resort, the 9:00 PM departure is followed by nothing until 11:00 PM. At Leitrim, the runs on either side leave at 9:30 PM and 11:30 PM.

After midnight

Switching to Uplands Station

From 1:00 AM the shuttle stops serving Leitrim Station and runs to Uplands Station instead. Runs to Uplands leave the resort at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 AM. Return runs leave Uplands Station at 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 AM. The pairing holds: the resort on the hour, the stop on the half hour.

Nothing changes but the stop. The fare works the same way, and a Unity by Hard Rock card, which costs nothing to join, still brings it down. The driver still takes card, credit or tap, never cash, so keep a card in your pocket for the trip home.

After midnight

Between 3:30 and 7 AM

The last way out of the resort is the 3:00 AM run; the last way in is the 3:30 AM from Uplands Station. After that, nothing runs until the 7:00 AM departure, and the hours before dawn pass indoors. The casino floor and the live table games stay open 24/7. Constant Grind, the café in the Marketplace, pours coffee all night.

Decide on your run home before the night starts, and set a spending limit before you leave. Each casino game is designed with a house edge, and over time that leaves players, taken together, on the losing side. The floor publishes no holiday changes; the resort's phone, 1-613-822-8668, is the way to check, and its shuttle page carries the current timetable.

After midnight

Late plates and coffee

YOUYU Noodle Bar closes at 1 AM every night, and you can eat in or take away. Saturday and Sunday bring an earlier start at 3 PM; from Monday through Friday, it opens at 5 PM. On Friday and Saturday, Hard Rock Cafe adds an after-hours menu that runs from 10 PM until 1 AM.

Past 1 AM, Constant Grind in the Marketplace keeps going. It pours coffee and serves pastries and house-made gelato 24/7, every day, which covers a cup before the 3:00 AM run.

After midnight

Staying the night instead

If the last run has gone without you, the hotel at the resort is the other way to end the night. It has 150 rooms, 22 of them suites. A Deluxe King or Deluxe Queen room measures 389 square feet, and a Deluxe Queen sleeps up to four.

Anyone staying at the hotel needs to be 19 or over, and two pieces of ID may be requested from a guest who seems younger. With a room key, the Body Rock fitness centre is open 24 hours. The resort does not publish its check-in and check-out times. Call 1-613-822-8668 before counting on a room in the small hours.

Questions

Short answers

Is there a shuttle at 4 AM?

No run leaves at that hour. The last trip back from Uplands Station leaves at 3:30 AM, and the next departure is the 7:00 AM run from the resort. The casino floor and Constant Grind stay open in between.

Where does the 2 AM run go?

The 2:00 AM departure from the resort goes to Uplands Station, not Leitrim Station. Its return leaves Uplands at 2:30 AM.

Is the noodle bar still open at 12:30 AM?

YOUYU Noodle Bar closes at 1 AM every night, so 12:30 AM falls inside its hours. Noodles can be eaten in or taken away, and the first Uplands run leaves the resort at 1:00 AM.

Does the overnight run cost more?

The same fare rules hold after midnight, for Uplands Station as for Leitrim. The driver takes card, credit or tap, never cash, and the resort's shuttle page carries the current fares.
