Poor service and staff behaviour, good food quality and awesome environment! When you came here, make sure you just want to enjoy your food and drinks as they are good, however, our server wasn’t very hospital. It was my first time came here, I asked for beer recommendation from the barmaid, very poor response and it was like I asked a bad question, then I also asked about food, and some Italian food which didn’t know what is that, he just repeated the name and said “you don’t know it?” As I said, very good environment and good food and drinks, just don’t expect the same service and behavior quality with the amount of money you pay.

First thing: get the anchovies. They are not salty, boney, fishy strips from a can, but rather marinated with lemon and just a touch of salt. Don't debate them, just get the anchovies. Pizza is also fantastic, with a thick, focaccia-like crust that isn't greasy, delicious sauce that tastes like tomato, quality pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella. Beer is why I was here, and it did not disappoint! Six (6!) cask conditioned options. I was able to try five of them, all great, the golden ale was my favorite with a flowery hop aroma and flavor. The best beer of the night was the Gusto—a collaboration beer with Tooth & Nail—a Biere de Garde. Golden, bready, spicy, and refreshing. I bought several cans to bring home. Nice to see lots of beers with moderate alcohol percentages, every beer I ordered was between 3.9% and 5.5%. Everyone working was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the beer. Yaz and Hannah—who must be best friends—were able to give spot-on beer suggestions. Matty pulled a perfect pint and recommended the anchovies. So glad we found this Toronto gem!

We came here for drinks last weekend and absolutely loved it. The staff were super kind and friendly and we loved that the bar was hidden away so it was in a quieter area. The tables and setting was very cool and it was the closest thing I've seen to a European bar in Toronto. Would definitely recommend!

We didn't get to have a table as they were very busy but even standing at the bar here is a good time. Really great music, amazing drinks and great food! Didn't expect the pizza to be as spicy as it was but it made for an exciting evening. The atmosphere is really cool with the industrial look. The servers are funny and they played some nice oldies that were good to dance to. It's great for a pre-drink!

Nice place, the atmosphere is cozy. Beer selection is good. Food was tasty, but if you want the 19$ Burrata, it's not coming with bread, you have to pay +6$ for bread and +2$ for butter. That's quite unusual

Truly magical spot in the city with fantastic beer and wine selection. If only management would focus on the customer experience by offering table service and improving the food. Taking time away from companions to line up at the bar to order beer, order food and pay the bill gets old fast. It's especially galling that the minimum tip preset is 18% and the custom override requires a dollar amount. Even though I did half the work there is no tip out for me. I can list other bars that manage great drinks, better food and full service but none are blessed with such a cool environment. Please consider taking BV to the next level!

Well decorated lively hidden gem with wide selection of craft beer. Only thing to complain is they don’t have anyone come to clean up the table even the last customers have been gone for 15min.

This place is a hidden gem off Yonge St. Best selection for beer in the area with 20+ on tap. Great patio vibe. Though I was surprised the burrata does not come with bread (bread is an extra $6).

Just a great Italian style bar that happens to serve fantastic beer. The friendly, knowledgeable staff is happy to help you out with either one of the 26 taps, 3 casks, extensive natural wine list and rare beer bottles. Service at the bar is quick and efficient. Nobody does cask ales better than Volo in North America. I really enjoyed the beers brewed in house, the styles are classic and elegant, with a penchant for British style ales. Didn't get a chance to try the food this time around, but it looked and smelled great. An absolute must stop for beer lovers in Toronto.

A beer and wine house is a delightful place where you can experience the best of both worlds – from the rich and complex flavors of wine to the refreshing and diverse world of beers. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a beer enthusiast, this establishment offers a welcoming and convivial atmosphere to explore and savor your favorite libations. It's the perfect destination to unwind, socialize, and discover new tastes in the company of friends or fellow enthusiasts. Cheers to the beer and wine house experience! Tip: Every Wednesday their Bottle of Wines are 50% off

This is a fantastic spot for a light dinner and great conversation! The patio is not only a great choice for a meal but is also pet-friendly, making it perfect for bringing your furry friend along. You start by placing your order, receiving a number, and then selecting either an indoor or outdoor table, whichever suits your preference. During our visit, we savored the delightful combination of nduja and Stracciatella, alongside a tasty Caesar salad with chicken adding. The highlight for me was definitely the bruschetta - a must-try! However, please exercise caution as we did come across some pieces of glass on the ground. Despite that, it’s an overall enjoyable experience!

Bar Volo is a hidden gem in the Yonge and Wellesley community. Time and time again the bar service is fast and knowledgeable. Wine list is full of worldly biodynamic natural wine. Beer and cider are always top notch and many are local. Cocktails are a little more hit or miss depending on your taste. The pizza is my absolute favourite but their small plates are tasty as well. Food is quite good but not mind blowing. Overall a unique experience and cozy atmosphere. Will be returning.

We came earlier this year before the shutdown on an early Saturday night and, we were surprised by how busy the place already was. The ambiance and decor was cool, certainly with a “hipster” sort of vibe, perhaps a little too loud, the space is narrower than it seems on the pictures so, it felt tight and getting a table was tricky. They have a vast selection of beers from which we tried at least a dozen. Most were good, however, without being able to sample, ordering was a hit and miss. Nevertheless, the staff was very friendly and helpful; and the food was good. Overall, I think that it was worth trying.

Nice spot, great vibe, good selection of beer, cider, friendly staff and tasty food!

While I liked the old location, this new location is amazing, and the selection remains unparalleled

Fabulous food and beer selection! Great patio and lovely staff.

Didn’t get to try the food because they stopped serving past 9pm that day. The cocktails were great but a bit pricey- $40+ for two cocktails I guess is the norm nowadays! Interior decor and dim lightning created a nice, calm ambiance and music was subtlety playing in the background which made it easy to have a conversation with my spouse. Would love to come back again and try the food!

Good selection for beer lovers, wine options are really limited though. Nice snacks, liked the pesto flat bread. It’s a good place to hang out with friends specially giving their hours.

My boyfriend and I are often in and out of the city and have been on the hunt for a cocktail bar with great atmosphere and service. After our experience at Bar Volo, I can confidently say there is no better place to spend your Friday date night than this spot. The cocktails are amazing and the service is just as great. We were lucky to have been served by Hannah at the bar who also gave us some great insight on the amazing beers they have on draft and in rotation. An overall amazing time, the crowd is also very fun and super kind. Can’t wait to come back to try the food!

Really like Bar Volo. This is a place for beer enthusiasts, but also very good for the rest of us. I’m not super adventurous with beer, but the people there have unfailingly been great at helping me find something that’s good for my taste. Casual atmosphere, people of all ages, and clearly a spot of regulars who come back time and again. Love it.

fantastic but pricey beer. great panini. You sit anywhere you like. Go up to the bar, and order drinks and food. I like that there is nobody pressuring you to order food when you just want to have a beer.

Really dark, was hard to see what I was eating. Kind of crammed inside but I get it, you're downtown. This place is self serve, you walk up to the bar to get your yourself drinks, but then the minimum tip % on the machine is 18%... The pizza was pretty good, a little oily. Cocktails were amazing but very small for the price -> $15-20. Fantastic beer selection.

Tucked away in a quiet street, I came here on a Saturday night and it was pretty packed! They have a great selection of craft beer so there are many beers to choose from along with wine. Giving this place 3 stars because they were understaffed and we walked in with no one to greet us or guide us to a table. It’s basically a free for all…the empty spots that were available, the table was not yet cleared so we essentially had to clear out our own table before sitting down. Also, we had to order our drinks at the bar instead of having to place the order at our table. I’m not sure if this is due to them being understaffed but if they had more staff on hand to greet and serve guests, this place would meet expectations. Regardless, it is a lovely and hip spot to grab a drink with a nice vibe to it.

First of all they have great atmosphere that I missed since I moved here from Europe. I ordered meat and cheese plate and a pizza additionally to 2 beers I tried. Food and drinks are amazing. I'll bring my friends to there next time. Nice staff too, they are kind and smiley, absolutely recommended

Very nice atmosphere. Cocktails are creative. Lots of non-alcoholic versions too. There are barrel tables which are very cute. Very friendly and helpful bar tender. There are fridges selling beer and wine too. Really nice place for a date.

One of my favourite places to go! Its cozy and comfortable the food is simple and amazing. Overall you leave there happy. Would definitely recommend to give it a try! And the organic wines is a must! I usually get the orange wine and the taste is perfection!!

I dropped in for food and a few beers on April 14, 2023. There were a few other customers but it wasn't terribly busy. An awesome ambiance! The bartender (named River, if I remember correctly) was very attentive, friendly and willing to share info. He also gave me some great recommendations. I tried a couple of the regular house beers and then moved on to the cask ales. Volo Lino may have been my top pick but how can you choose just one? They were all delicious and the food was awesome – especially the nduja & stracciatella. I feel like I had the ideal experience at Bar Volo … I happened to walk past it later that evening and it was packed and a bit too noisy for my taste. I'm glad I had my low-key afternoon visit.

Five stars due to their uniquely characteristic approach to craft beers. Rare to find a brewery dedicated to cask beers! Wonderfully raw and flavourful selection of their own beers with considerate additions from other partnered and invited beers from elsewhere. Even a Lambic Kriek from sour cherries all the way from Belgium! Num! Highly recommended stop for beer lovers.😁🍺

Lovely decoration, great place to have a craft beer and dinner. The beer is out of this world, I am in love with the double IPA and the Märzen. There are great food options as well. The bartenders are really nice and helpful, I hope I can return. The prices are really good.

Came here for drinks and had a really fun time. It’s nice and cozy with cool decor. We managed to snag a table (one of the ones that was actually a barrel), and I remember really appreciating the fact that it had a lot of hooks on the wall for jackets and bags. There are two sections, so if you can’t find a spot make sure you go around to the other side. You order your drinks at the bar. The bartenders were really friendly and fun to chat with which I appreciated! This definitely had more of a intimate restaurant/bar vibe, so not really the place to get a quick drink. But it would be a great place to take a date or catch up with friends. Definitely come a bit earlier though because it gets packed.

Guys here are doing a great job. They are fast at handling orders. They have their own style of ordering (by alphabets) and their drinks are pretty good. I would definitely come back.

Brilliant var with a pleasant patio overlooking a quiet street. Plenty of beer choices to keep any craft beer enthusiast happy. The brewery is located in an adjacent building and both the pilsner and pale ale I tried were on point. They also have a bottle shop selling beers and wine. The bartenders were bery enthusiastic and especially Tyler came over to talk to us and made sure we had what we needed and also made some good recommendations

Would have never found this little out of the way place had it not been recommended by a friend who does service work for them. Very wide variety of beers on tap. Food is excellent. A bit in the pricey side but you get what you pay for right? Incredibly cool vibe and atmosphere

Great atmosphere, endless beer list, and very good food. They don’t take reservations, but the wait can be fine on a nice day. Helps that they offer you beer while you wait. Was very happy with everything that we ordered. There were three of us, and the small plates work great for nibbling on food, while drinking, and chatting.

First time since the old location. Still has the magic and selection.

Lovely evening on their patio. Wine and small plates were very enjoyable. Service was discreet and attentive. Loved the Jays chat with our server at the end of our visit!

Quiet bar located in a middle of an alley . Very rustic and aesthetically pleasing. Had the tony spritz , the sourdough and the Nduja . The severs were amazing and accommodating as well . Will be back

The vibe is awesome! You really don’t fe like you’re in a big city. The brick exterior and furniture definitely helps. Awesome drinks and wine selection (although sold out of two things I did want to get). Food wise — burrata was delicious. And that was the highlight. Carpaccio was cut way too thick and too dry. Moving on to spiducci — again a bit too dry and not enough salt or acidity you usually find. And the bread with tomato is a staple classic so it was obviously decent. I do have to say it felt like the server was very new — very rushed and a bit overly excited on checking in if things are ok. Maybe it was just stress
