“Such an amazing experience at pourin joy! The owners and bartenders really make the space feel welcoming and somewhere you want to stay and have another drink. Definitely felt taken care of and part of the family. 10/10!“

“Great place, will be back soon“

“Such a cool place! Small taproom with a huge selection of canned/bottled beer available, a handful of arcade tables, and lots of good events.
Clean unisex restroom with a changing table-- there were even some diapers when I went! There were also high chairs available.
To my eye, it's good for accessibility: all on one floor, with automatic sliding doors on the side entrance. The stools inside might be a bit tight for a wheelchair.“

“Great variety of music and local wildlife“

“Joe is great owner of his bar … he always says hi to everyone… walks me to my car I don’t even need ask him … his bartenders are so nice too … never no problems at his bar and everyone is welcome there !!!“

“We recently ordered a fairly large quantity of food and drinks from Mullers for my sisters baby shower. They were easy to work with, gave us a great deal and checked in a few times to make sure everything was on schedule. When I arrived for pick-up they greeted me at the door by my first name with smiles just like I was family. They also helped to load everything into my trunk. A few days after the event they even checked in to see how everything went! This is how you run a business! It’s hard in 2023 to find an establishment with that kind of class and professionalism. I highly recommend Mullers for any catering needs. Even better yet, stop in and enjoy some drinks, cider and food with some friends or family. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The Kombucha is so delicious and refreshing! The ambiance is fabulous! I can’t wait to go back!“

“Delicious food, fantastic service, and a monster drink menu. Hickory smoked Asian wings, braised short rib poutine, and warm crab dip were all 10 out of 10 for us. Server was super friendly and accommodating. Didn't feel rushed or neglected which is right at the sweet spot in my opinion. Great atmosphere.“

“Quality service. Genuine interest in supporting community initiatives impacting historically marginalized communities. Great food and music. And the private rental space is perfect. We’re proud to have partnered with Shoot Ya Shot Sports Bar alongside our media partner #TheBeat1055FM to invite newcomers into the space as we hosted our announcement event for #EEPathways Juneteenth Underground Railroad Bike Ride (June 2024).“

“Food was fabulous. I am a gluten-free vegetarian so I sometimes find it hard to get anything but salad. Not here! Had a Beyond burger on a GF roll. It was wonderful. My granddaughter had an absolutely delicious (according to her) chicken sandwich and we had ice cream for dessert. Our waitress, Beth, was very friendly and took great care of us and the decor is very fun and nostalgic. We are already making plans to head back to the area this summer and we will definitely be stopping in.“

“Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name…and they’re always glad you came!“

“Our server was funny! Jim, I believe“

“Great atmosphere with very good pool players. Melissa(Mel) has a unique touch of service - she ensures every drink rests beautifully on a coaster. I have observed her overtime, and she's meticulously consistent at it. Even when you change seats, she brings you a new coaster. This subtle but professional etiquette makes her standout. Overall, service is excellent!!“

“We had such a fun time stopping over to Martine for a few drinks to end our night. The re-do was incredible, the service was great, and the drinks were tasty (a few different kocktails and mocktails). Happy to see a fresh take in a great location in the city.“
