    Iconic brewery on ossington. There was a bit of wait to get in , but it wasn’t too bad. I came during lunch and had drinks with friends. I let the waiter pick my drink and my friend ordered a sour. Ruben was okay just very messy and fries were nothing special.

    Love this spot and will continue to return. If you don’t like beer try the raspberry jelly king it’s so good and doesn’t even taste like alcohol. The food is great, although the cheese board isn’t worth the money as the quantity is very very little but they do offer you free bread if you have left over cheese. The service was amazing. Over all Great night. Get here early if you are going on a weekend as it fills up quite fast.

    Perfect brewery to check out in Trinity Bellwoods area. They are a bit expensive but the beer quality is truly immaculate. They have lots of beer available in bottles ( not on taps due to renovation) and they have couple of non alcoholic drink options available as well. Not to mention that customer service was also amazing. When we visited (end of February 2022), they were under contraction so tap beer weren’t available and there wasn’t much space inside but apparently they’re expanding the dining area by this summer 2022. Excited to visit again in the summer!

    Great evening at Bellwoods. First time at the place and from out of town. Great atmosphere and even better beer. Some of the best sour beers I have had in my eyes. Stepped outside my wheelhouse and tried the duck heart. It was great and I definitely recommend. The texture is comparable to a medium rare steak. Had to wait to be seated and spent 15 minutes waiting for a table at 10pm. They must have been short staffed as delays experienced but patio season just starting so it is expected. Overall, great experience and recommend that everyone try this place.

    Very fun spot for some drinks. They have an excellent beer selection. Their food however wasn't great and I found it to be very overpriced for the potion size and taste. I would recommend this place for drinks and snacks especially the fries were really good.

    Food was delicious, had my first duck hearts, yum. Scallop crudo was amazing. Green beans were on point. The server was 11/10. The space is really eye catching. Little warm inside in the summer heat, but drinks and food were great.

    Their drinks are great but their food are meh. Had to wait in line but not too long - 10 minutes? Their sausage was very very salty.. and I say very expensive for the quantity and quality of the food. Their fries were also just okay.

    Fantastic taste, and more... Great beer! Friendly service that goes out of the way for the customer. Did I say great beer, yeah that again. Also, saw a server spill a beer on someone, not only did another staff member jump to help clean up the mess, they fixed it, gave the guy a new shirt from their merch, got them drinks, and switched up the server. It was like they were prepared for everything and ready to make the customer love the place in spite of the accident. Great establishment! And great beer!

    Very nice brewery with lot of beer options, but really limited food menu. The menu is overpriced in my opinion ($20 for a sandwich with no sides), but I can't complain about the quality of the food and drinks. If you are on a budget this might not be the right place for you, but if you have some money to spend and want to taste some good beer and good sandwiches/appetizers, this is a good choice.

    One of my favorite local breweries. Though I haven't had the chance to dine in their restaurant. Personally, their sour & fruit-flavored beers do not disappoint 🥰 The two images I shared are just 2 of my all-time favorites.

    2023.06.20 Nice place. I visited the place a long time back. Now, it has two dining areas and a terrace. We had a cheese board plus tasted beer from their brewery. Several choices of beer to taste, but I still prefer my regular pilsner beer.

    Visited here 3 times on my recent trip to Toronto. These guys are doing the best beers in Toronto, if not Canada. Also had the fries which were delicious! They've got a great patio for having some beers in the sun and the new indoor area looks fantastic!!

    Great beers, especially if you like sour and barrel aged beers. The place is lovely with a big front patio in summer. Excellent service. The food was ok, but not so memorable.

  • 5/5 Chai A. 10 months ago on Google • 161 reviews
    Delicious house brewed beer and fine food served in a fun and lively space. Excellent service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Menu highlights such as bone marrow, duck hearts and chicken liver mousse elevate the menu beyond your typical brew pub food. Great selection of beers also.

    Great brewery with really tasty beers. We tried several different and all of them were great. The staff was friendly but they forgot us a few times (probably due to the high amount of customers. We also waited around 30min outside because we had no reservation

    I like the atmosphere of this Brewery; the patio is especially lovely in the summer, considering the location. However, the food is not the best there; portions are tiny, and when you order a burger, there is no side dish. The beer is okay, and I tried their cider, too but it was extremely sour. Unsure if it was supposed to taste like that or it was a spoiled beverage. I have been there three times and cant say that the service was striking, it is just okay. Overall it is okay place.

  • 5/5 Fatemeh D. 7 months ago on Google • 106 reviews
    The beers are AMAZING here. You get to taste some memorable ones here. They also have interesting side dish to have with your drinks. My personal experience was that my server was a little passive aggressive but the atmosphere is amazing otherwise.

  • 5/5 Chau P. 1 year ago on Google
    This city brewery has vibes! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with a great mix of people enjoying drinks and conversation. I dropped in for Friday night drinks and order what seemed most popular - the duck hearts and fries which is very solid fare. They don't offer a beer taste paddle but samples. I had lager, sours and IPA's, each one was unique and a must for any beer lover.

  • 4/5 Chukri H. 7 months ago on Google
    Awesome selection of beers in a chill unpretentious spot on Ossington! This place is a staple and go to for sure whether its for big groups or even dates! Their patio is always packed but moves pretty quick! I haven’t tried a lot of their food and thats only because Im unable to order anything but fries with their mayo dipping sauce. Its one of the best things in the city and must if you’re not too sure or not too hungry! You’ll thank me later

    5. Love this spot- it’s consistently a great vibe, beers, and food. The expansion is beautiful and makes the wait times a lot shorter!! There are zero proof options - including a sparkling Godspeed brewery green tea that’s so great.

  • 5/5 Avery H. 10 months ago on Google
    This spot has grown! Retail store to the right, double wide and double-decked bar and restaurant to the left. If you're just sitting at the bar or have a party of two and the line is long, step to the front and let them know. There's usually more seating upstairs. Great beers, good sampling policy (two free small pours!), and solid food to match. Great service, too, and a fun atmosphere. Jelly King is a classic, and plenty of rotating favorites. Big cheers!

  • 5/5 Kevin S. 10 months ago on Google
    Great brewery in Toronto. Lots of choices in this neighborhood and this place does not disappoint. Great beer selection, their pale game is strong. Delicious NE styles, didn’t eat but the food looks really good. Huge outdoor space right on the street, great environment to drink a few beers in the warmer months. Indoor space looks solid to when it cools down a bit.

  • 4/5 Marissa C. 2 years ago on Google
    This review is more like 4.5 stars. This place is definitely a popular spot to grab a drink with friends but I’ve even seen people grab a bite and drinks by themselves. The service has been great and drinks are easy to drink. Their food menu is surprisingly delicious as well. Have had no concerns with the food and drinks. Only reason why I didn’t give this spot 5 stars is because they’re undergoing Reno’s so they don’t have a lot of space right now and there is only 1 bathroom for all their customers. It is a bit inconvenient and I wish they communicated that a bit better.

  • 5/5 Baksteen 1 year ago on Google
    Great location and great beers. We thought it was a little pricey, especially the food. But overall it’s worth it. We did have an experimental IPA that was absolutely terrible. I guess it’s better to not sell such a beer at all, but overall the experience was great. Definitely go here when you’re in Toronto!

  • 5/5 Ahmad P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to hang out with friends. Beautiful patio for those summer outings. In house brews taste amazing. Looks like their speciality is tangy drinks - which is great for me as I love those but some like them raw and bitter.

  • 5/5 Joël L. 2 years ago on Google
    You haven't been? Why not? The beer here speaks VOLUMES! Just amazing. You have more variety than you can shake a stick at. Foeder aged beer - that funk? Wicked IPAs? Brilliant sours? Sweet stouts? Yes - yes - yes - and? Yes. Please. And the food? Excellent. The burger was juicy af, fries perfectly seasoned. And the salad? The perfect blend of hot spices and flavour: not to overwhelming heat levels of course - like I said, perfect blend. Don't be weak.

  • 5/5 Debora A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great beers - especially if you’re into sours and fruity IPAs - paired with a very creative and tasty food menu. Really beautiful brewery in one of the most beautiful streets in the world. Worth a visit - 10 out of 10.

👍 Good food as always! Convenient. Kids friendly. One star less because in the men’s washrooms there is no arrangement for baby diapers change. I managed it somehow but for a single dad with baby it is not convenient. I hope management would put up something to resolve it. Thank you.
