The Diddley: The Story of the Douglas Tavern

The Diddley: The Story of the Douglas Tavern is a documentary audiobook preserving the memories and history of one of the Ottawa Valley’s most beloved gathering places.

Formerly known as the Stackpole Hotels, the Douglas Tavern became an icon of the Ottawa Valley for nearly half a century. Known locally as “The Diddley,” the tavern was more than just a bar — it was a place where friends met, music played late into the night, and the community came together year after year.

The story focuses on the McHale family, the Douglas community, and the lasting impact the tavern had on generations of visitors who passed through its doors.
