Did you know your guests have the ability to pay?
The Club offers the option to split bills or have guests pay via credit card. If you bring friends to the Club to dine, bills could be split so you would not be solely responsible for the bill every time. Guests of Members who are members of an affiliated club, can also sign on their club’s account.
Each Club shall provide its own member with a Card of Introduction or with an Annual Membership Card which shall serve as a Card of Introduction.
Upon presentation of the Card of Introduction or the Membership Card, the visited Club, when requested, will issue a Guest Card valid for two weeks. The Guest Card may be once renewed for two weeks upon request of the Member.
No Member may receive more than four Introductions to the same Club in any calendar year.
Membership to the Rideau Club is by nomination process.

As a spousal member of the Rideau Club you enjoy many privileges. Home to Ottawa’s business, civic and political leaders, the Rideau Club’s atmosphere, fine dining and interesting special events are unparalleled in the Nation’s Capital.
Whether it is for a family gathering, listening to thought-provoking speakers or just relaxing in our newly renovated bar, Club Room or our quiet library, the Rideau Club is a welcoming place. You are likely already aware of many of the benefits of being a spousal member but thought we would highlight a few to keep you up-to-date.
Other less glamorous but important things to know include free parking in the building garage after 5:00 pm for our members and that, on request, the club office can create separate monthly billing from that of your spouse. Likewise, if you bring a friend or group of friends and want to share the bill, your guests can pay with their own credit cards.
The Board recently fine-tuned the dress code. Club members and their guests are welcome for meals or other events throughout the club in an elegant style. Mandatory jacket and collared shirts are required for men (tie is optional) and ladies are expected to similarly dress appropriately (dresses, skirts, pants with a jacket). The Main Dining Room, however, requires, in addition to the core dress code, a tie for the gentlemen at all times on all days. We hope to see you soon at the Rideau Club and invite you to give the Membership Liaison, Caroline LePage, a call if you need more information.
Wi-Fi now available in the South side of the Club. For access, please see front desk or office staff.
