I recently moved from downtown to midtown and one of the best things about relocating is being a short walk away from Granite. They brew some of the best English style beers in the province, the food and service is excellent and the staff are great. It’s my new local and can’t wait to bring visiting friends there to enjoy it!

We held our daughter's 4th birthday party at the Granite and things worked out better than we could've expected! Yes a brewery isn't typically a top choice for a kid's birthday party, but the combination of a Midtown Tiny Tots event (45 second walk down the road) followed by some prime quality brews and food put a smile on all the parents' faces. The event was seamless and easy to plan with Sam who was very flexible with every request we had. The library room was set up with a kids table and the enclosed area kept the munchkins contained. Josh was our lead server and his relaxed and adaptable approach (often with a joke and a smile) was above and beyond what anyone could expect for service. I'd recommend this place as an excellent overall choice. There's a cozy & laid back atmosphere and the kids' menu options are great. The adult food is also well above average especially for a pub; in particular the weekly feature dishes (not a common pub thing) are consistently great.

This place has been here for many years. They have a large variety of craft beer. For sure you will find something you like. The food is good pub food, nothing crazy burgers, fries, etc. the place is big outside and inside plus a big outside space in the back that is really pretty. Apart from the beer I have a soft spot for the lamb burger they offer.

We love Garnite Brewery. The place is nice, clean and cozy. Staff are great and always be around you when you want to order. Wow, their beer; no one can beat them .In the end,we were surprised about the price. Compared to what we eat and enjoyed, the price was so less than we expected.

Full disclosure - this restaurant wasn't even on my radar before I photographed a wedding here at the end of last summer. Well, you can consider me a fan now! There aren't many restaurants in the city that can host a ceremony in a stunning outdoor green space before moving indoors for the reception in a private room. Granite Brewery & Tied House arguably does this in the best way possible! On top of Granite being the a beautifully decorated space to host your wedding or event, their food selections were really on point as well. With a buffet style dinner, I was able to try a wide variety of different menu items and each one was more remarkable than the last. The real standout for me was the chicken, but I've always been a bit biased towards chicken. Finally, the service and attention to detail by all the staff was second to none for my entire stay at Granite. They really take care of all their guests exceptionally and I could tell my clients were really impressed. Thanks for making this wedding a real highlight of my summer Granite! Hope to see you again soon ❤

Stumbled on this place while I was waiting for someone at the hospital. What a gem. Food was great, service was excellent and the restaurant is clean. Great little patio to enjoy and try all their beers. Would definitely go back.

I have only good things to say about this place. I always had a good service. The beer is fantastic. They have so much variety that is hard to not like something. The food is good. The menu is not to complicated and easy to follow. The prices are ok too. Over the past year with all the pandemic openings and closures, they did a fantastic job trying to adapt to the situation. I recommend the lamb burger 🍔.

For those who like a good pub with its own beer production, good food, good location and accessibility ♿️ this is definitely the right place. Granite is very well located on Avenida Egliton, close to many shops, private parking, public parking and the metro station. The brewery has an outdoor area for the spring and summer periods, a bar lounge area, and an indoor area with a fireplace. Local production takes place right there at the brewery, and you can see the boilers when you go to the washrooms. Speaking of accessibility: the house has an accessible entrance with a spring door, but without automatic activation (which makes it difficult for wheelchair users, users of crutches or walkers to enter. They have an adapted bathroom with support bars and spring doors (the bathroom door it also requires automatic opening). All the sink taps are automatic and so is the waste disposal container. They have no internal steps and the tables are spacious for aligning supports for walking. I asked the restaurant when the menu was in Braille, but the attendant couldn't answer me, so the person I was with needed my help with the order. The service at the house is very pleasant, but now at the end of the year, everything is very busy and it may take a while for you to be served at the table. They have their own store, with souvenir items and beers to take home or as a gift. The menu is wonderful and the fish and cheaps is certainly one of the best I've ever tasted. For those thinking of going with children, the restaurant has seats for older children and high chairs for younger ones, as well as a children's menu for lunch and brunch. It's really worth visiting, especially since the beers are great.

The back patio was an incredible place to enjoy a couple beers. Quiet, cool, and relaxing on a warm day. Their IPAs were pretty impressive, and the jerk burger was good too.

My partner and I fortunately live close by this place and are so grateful that we can walk in whenever a craving for fantastic food/beer hits. This place is huge and I’m always surprised by the size/ space the place has indoors plus a large back patio/garden - most recently we were lucky to have had the entire front section by the library available for us late night and to have access to their new brew “A Brand New Day” which is our new favourite and a must-try full of citric juicy flavours perfect for a summer day/night! The food here is always great - the meatloaf is a staple of theirs but don’t shy away from the special menu we had the shrimp and vegetable linguine most recently that was delicious. We’ll be back soon! ☺️

We called ahead to ask if our dog would be allowed on the patio and we were told that dogs were welcome on the front patio. We seated ourselves and got service fairly quickly. The two staff we interacted with were friendly and efficient. Food was pretty good and decently priced. I appreciated the signage on the doors of the washrooms indicating an inclusive and safe space, welcoming people to use whichever restroom they felt comfortable in.

Granite Brewery is a fantastic spot with something for everyone. They have an excellent patio; sunny out front and shaded seating out back. Don't miss out on their incredible chicken fingers and sweet potato fries (best well done). It's time to experience it for yourself finally!

I've added this bar to my must-go list since moving to Toronto, and overall it was pretty good. We arrived around 5:30 pm, and there weren't many people; we couldn’t speak loudly because the whole bar was super quiet. We ordered Cobb salad and beet burger. My partner misread the beet burger as a beef burger, but he loved it so much! The Cobb salad I ordered was also great, with a lot of ingredients in the salad, and I didn’t even need dressing to taste rich enough. We also ordered a flight to try their beers, but half was plain. I especially liked their Ringberry ale, which was a rich, fruity taste and was not too sweet; very refreshing! The servers were amiable, and the decoration of the whole bar was very cozy. I wish they could play some music, tho! Because it was so quiet. Overall, great food, plenty of space, and clean toilets! We will be back next time!

5 stars but honestly should be higher. From the outside this hidden gem goes unnoticed. However, beyond the pub-like bar in the front is a beautiful place to have a wedding or event with a mix of an outdoor green space, patio, and inside venue. The food was absolutely amazing, the cook there needs a raise! The organizing staff was an absolute delight and they really cater to the guests and are very experienced and adapt well to last minute changes. The bar staff is pleasant and the owners have near perfected their own brews. After having our wedding here, I would have liked to come back the next day to do it all over again. My guests for my wedding loved everything about this place and everyone is hoping to return again very soon for the ale, food, and hospitality. Well done granite brewery staff. I will be trying to find any reason to celebrate just to book there again. Thank you everyone! Final words: Unforgettable, hidden gem, and Exceptional!

We just had our wedding at Granite and it was the most perfect experience we could have had! We were looking for an intimate and chill vibe, and Granite definitely delivered. Sam was really helpful in helping us figure out everything that made the most sense for us, and on the day of the wedding, Chris was the MVP of the day. He immediately helped whenever we were looking for something, and when we had issues, he responded within seconds. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who is looking for a smaller venue who really cares about the experience of the bride and groom <3

Wedding: We had our wedding at the Granite in October 2022. Sam and the team at the Granite were phenomenal in making our wedding experience lovely and smooth. Their pricing is very transparent, and available on their website, vs a lot of venues that have a lot of extra and hidden add-ons. They were also very accommodating with our requests like setting up an additional area for a tea ceremony, bringing in our own desserts from our cultures, and even bringing in a mariachi band during the reception! Sam was always very responsive to our emails, which made things easy while we were planning. All in all, we would 101982039482% recommend booking your wedding at the Granite! Non-wedding: The Granite has awesome beers, food, and service. We discovered it when we were looking for venues for our wedding, and have been back several times! We will definitely be back soon. Another plus is the free parking in the basement!

It's a great place that makes their own beer. The food is very good. The back patio is very peaceful and features a large awning that keeps the sun off you. I enjoyed the special "Back in the Day" beer. It was very delicious and better than the Belgian Moon which is ubiquitous at Toronto bars.

A great place for some pretty good pub food and a whole lot of craft beer choices. The decor takes you back to a traditional pub feel while the two old man manikins playing chess at a table for two will probably weird you out the first time you see them. The beer is tasty and the prices are pretty solid value in my opinion. The lineup does change throughout the seasons as the new offerings arrive and the old ones just fade away. The food here is pretty good although my lamb burger left me a little disappointed. It didn’t have that lamb flavour that I was expecting and maybe it was a patty blend. The Granite sampler platter however was pretty spot on with the crab cakes, wings, calamari, and the quesadilla came out nice and hot. Service was friendly and prompt even though there was a few large parties that had to be attended. It’s a just a really laid back place that is just far enough away from the Yonge/Eglinton construction madness that’s worth the walk over.

Went on Valentine's Day weekend with a group. They had a special menu with appetizer, main, wine and dessert for $30. Great price! They didn't have some of the food available from the specials but we were always accommodated with another option even if it was more expensive. I appreciated the waiter. He was efficient and made sure we were happy. The restaurant is bigger than it looks. It goes deep. It's a pub style environment. Dim with British pub decor. Our group had a great time here!

I have been living in the neighborhood for a while but I visited this brewery for the very first time last week. We sat in the back patio that has some heaters so you can dine outside in spite of the weather. I ordered the blackened salmon salad which was delicious and has a really good salmon portion. The beer was refreshing and they have something for every palate. Overall, I would say this restaurant offers a good value for money and it's one of the few ones in Mount Pleasant that still have its patio working.

Came for Summerlicious 2023 tasting menu. Love the Crispy Avocado Wedges and the Lamb Shank.

Food is good. Beer is great. Staff friendly. Ron is an absolute champion in the beer industry. The location has a big back room and even a patio. A decent front room and bar, and another patio. This place is a must. Bring friends and a sense of humour.

This place has easily become a go-to for drinks with friends or to watch the game. Great selection of beer that has yet to disappoint. I've found several seasonal favorites that I know I'll be anticipating each year. Take home cans of their beers are also available from their beer store. Food wise: In the times I've had a meal here, I'd say it's hit or miss. Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's just okay. Fish and chips are a must, one of the best items on the menu. Pulled pork poutine (really pulled pork cheese fries as they use shredded cheese not curds) is a great quick bite. If you're lucky enough to pop in when the veal parm sandwich special is around, get it. Drink selection: They have a great selection. No matter your taste there's something for you. Ringwood has become an easy drinking go to and is available year round. Dark side is a great dark ipa, Shiro is also a great choice if you like brown ales. They're part of their rotating selection though so grab them when they're on tap (right now). I also enjoy their stouts, nice flavourful and smooth. Service: I've not been disappointed by the service here. The bartenders and wait staff are courteous and efficient and quick to resolve any issues you might have with your order. Anytime I've mentioned an allergy they ensure that it's a non-issue with my food. Atmosphere/seating: Up front they have two small seating areas and the bar with stools, and the rear has a full dining area that's regularly rented for events. It has a cozy, comfortable homey feel. During the summer they have patio seating available. TVs are set up around the bar area to catch the game. Parking: Street parking is nearby, but there's also a garage that you can park in that they offer validation for. Entrance to the parking garage is just south of the restaurant entrance, after where the old Shoppers used to be. Beers pictured: Shiro (Fuller dark beer), Ringwood and Dark side (Mostly finished dark).

They have so much variety that is hard to not like something. The food is good. The menu is not to complicated and easy to follow. The prices are ok too. Over the past year with all the pandemic openings and closures, they did a fantastic job trying to adapt to the situation. have only good things to say about this place.The beer is fantastic. I always had a good service. I recommend the lamb burger 🍔.

We attended a wedding here on the Thanksgiving long weekend and it was amazing! The decor, the service, the food, the drinks, everything was excellent. I'm not a beer person but hands down the only beer that I could tolerate and that was a discussion at our table of how beautiful it looked in terms of colour and the taste was*chefs kiss*. Everybody from the bride to the groom to the wedding party to the guests were very happy with the venue!

Granite is an incredible wedding venue! The space has a beautiful outdoor courtyard for the ceremony, a covered back patio for cocktail hour, and an indoor restaurant space for the reception. It was great having everything in one place so guests didn’t have to travel, while still feeling like a good flow of the day from one space to the next. Truly amazing to have everything in a downtown location. The staff were absolutely incredible to work with. They were so helpful and responsive in the lead up to the wedding, and provided excellent service on the day. Sam and Chris in particular made it such a smooth process and took care of everything we could have possibly needed. We did appetizers, a plated dinner and late night snacks, and all of it was wonderful. Our guests were very impressed with the food and drinks! We love Granite’s beers and were so happy to have the full beer list available. But not to worry for any non-beer drinkers, there are also wine and bar rail options available. We have received so many compliments on our wedding, and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Thank you so much to the Granite team for making it such a special day!

I have now been here a few times and it is now my favourite pub in the area! The staff are very friendly and it is an incredibly homey environment. There is a ton of seating and you will never need to wait and the food comes pretty quick. Their burger is amazing and so is their selection of beer. If you are looking for a more quiet place to grab drinks or dinner then check it out. They have two large patios in the summer as well.

Great atmosphere and service. It's a nice place to chill with friends and has a warm vibe to it. The courtyard especially is very beautiful. They have a variety of beers available and the service is really good. They have a lot of seating available indoors and in the courtyard. I'd come here again to chill with friends and have a beer.

This place is fantastic. My wife and I held our 95-person wedding reception/party in the backroom and on the patio and it went absolutely perfectly. First off, the space, drinks, and food were all excellent. Delicious appetizers, a great dinner buffet that included pasta, beef, and salmon (along with a multitude of sides), and some amazing late night snacks to keep the party going as the night went on. The kitchen was incredibly sensative to some of our guests' dietary needs/restrictions/allergies and it meant everyone was happy and got their fill! The staff were fantastic. Sam (the venue manager) was incredibly communicative in the lead-up to the event, working with us to make sure no detail was spared, even while we communicated with him through time-zone differences (from Australia!). The staff on the night of the event were amazing, making sure everyone was happy, and making several last-minute changes to seating, A/V, and evening schedule with no issues at all to accomodate the usual bumps and hiccups that come with an event this size. I really can't say enough about how great a night it was. Both my wife and I couldn't have had more fun and we got repeated compliments from friends and family telling us it was one of their favourite weddings they'd attended. Thanks Granite team - you guys rule!

We had our wedding last weekend at Granite, and we have so many positive things to say that even our guests still chat about it. The staff was absolutely fantastic, very polite and organized. My husband and I did not feel an ounce of worry working with the Granite team. They made us and the guest feel welcomed and ensured we were all comfortable throughout the night. The courtyard where the ceremony took place was beautiful. After the ceremony, the staff was quick to set up for cocktail hour. It put our minds at ease because while we were busy taking pictures, granite ensured our guests were fed and drinks provided. The food for the reception was delicious. We had the buffet. My husband and I have eaten at Granite for dinner, so we we knew the buffet was going to be good. We recommend Granite if you want a more intimate wedding and feel like you are having one large family dinner. I could go on, but I'm trying to keep it short and sweet for their review. But I literally have no complaints, only positive feedback!🥰

Came here for their lunch summerlicious menu and it was fantastic. We sat out in the covered patio and it was so serene with all the greenery and plants despite the busyness of the restaurant with all the people. Service was amazing. They were really busy and only had like 2 or 3 servers but still kept checking on on us to make sure everything was good. To start I had the bruschetta, main was pan fried trout and dessert was tiramisu. Everything was very tasty and portions are big. A good place for some casual dining and drinking. I got their Ringberry Ale and it was so nice you can actually taste the raspberry aromas.

We really enjoyed our night here! Great food quality with nice service & drinks. Highly recommended. The patio has also good vibes.

We had our wedding at the Granite this passed weekend. Everything went so smoothly it took away every bit of stress I had. The people that run this establishment are just quality people, and it shows in the rest of the staff they keep; I was delighted for them to be part of the night. Sam is attentive, prompt, and will make the coordination of your event easy and stress-free. He will do everything he is able to to make sure any of your needs for the event are met. The buffet food is delicious and of great quality, and he will make sure any dietary restrictions of you or your guests are taken care of. Chris is a pro. Full stop. He will make whatever you need to happen within the venue, on a whim, on the night of - happen. He lives for this, and he will not let you down. I can’t recommend a place enough. There is a lot of love here, and it is apparent! In the future I’ll be able to remember that the Granite was as big a part of my wedding night as the people attending it.

The food is good. The menu is not to complicated and easy to follow. The prices are ok too. Over the past year with all the pandemic openings and closures

We had our wedding at the Granite about a month ago and we are still raving about the day! For anyone looking for a place to host your wedding, we definitely recommend the Granite wholeheartedly! A huge shoutout to all of the wonderful staff (Sam, Chris, Owen, etc) who were involved in the planning stages for the big day and for the day itself! Sam has been incredibly responsive during our consultation and as we worked out the details of how the day would go - he has so much knowledge and advice to share with you to make your day as best as possible. Accommodations for any dietary restrictions and decor were always discussed and ironed out. Chris and his team were awesome, always right there to make sure things were going smoothly - he helped keep everything on track and was so quick to help with even the tiniest of things - like when we needed a box for our cupcakes! Apart from all of the wonderful food (the vegan pasta was top-notch!), we really want to thank everyone at the Granite for their professionalism and skill. You literally took all of our worries away and we are so happy to have worked with you. Thank you for your organization and warmth that day!

Visit 2 - Josh was super nice and helped my friends and I out really well. Love his energy! I was not in the mood for alcohol so Josh recommended a tasty Shirley Temple, which was so good! 6/5! Food was great and the brewed beers were great (is what my friends tell me). I had the 20 bees Pinot Grigio. We ate the roast beef sandwich, the pulled pork and chorizo sandwich and 2 lbs of honey garlic and BBQ wings.

Wedding: We had our wedding at the Granite in mid-October 2022 and cannot say enough good things about our experience. We originally met with Ron in November 2021 to view the venue, discuss dates and options as we do not live in the GTA (but both our families do). Needless to say, that first meeting went great & we locked in our date. During the months leading up to the wedding we were dealing with Sam who was more than helpful with all of our questions and getting everything in order for us. Again, being located in Ottawa and only using email & phone calls to communicate worked great for us and our minds were at ease. A couple days before the event we met with Chris (manager) to drop off some decorations and discuss the final few items (seating, final numbers, food allergies, etc.), and he was very professional with us, and you could see he knew what he was doing (I think he said it was their 35th wedding of the year, so that tells you a few things). Day of the wedding, everything went seamlessly, all was well organized with the guests being seated in the courtyard for the ceremony, followed by cocktails under the tent afterwards. Dinner service was also well organized (buffet), the food was fantastic, and there was more than enough for all of our guests, a lot of which went for second helpings. Desserts, coffee, tea, etc were all served immediately after dinner and all tasted great as well. We did late night snacks as well, which were appreciated by all of our guests and Sam's recommendations for the amounts to order were spot on. Drink services were well done all evening with no one waiting too long at any point. All of our guests have been complimenting how good the venue was, the staff, the food, and the atmosphere. We would have absolutely no concerns in recommending the Granite for someone's wedding in the future.

Great burger place that offers a variety of local brewed beers. Tried out the Stout Drunken Burger and had no regrets. Very recommended I'm the midtown area.
