50 Best Bar & Grill near East York

“I have been eating here for a while now. I don't know why I have never left a review but better late than never!

The food here is great, and the way they treat you is even better! I recommend eating food from here.

It is a sports bar though, so maybe don't come here for a date - but if you want to catch the game, go for it!“

“Duffy's Drive-In is a charming spot that transports you back to a time when people cared.

The burgers are so delicious, they are unmistakably crafted with love and feeling.

Have a seat and enjoy a cold beer while you wait (because you can't rush art), the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere is worth it!“

“Have a 5 drinks lol with a friend visiting from Turks and Caicos 🇹🇨 I’ll be back , u r my neighborhood 😃“

“A very cosy uptown restaurant ! I have been several times over the years and it never disappoints. Was there again last night and have to say the veal scallopini was excellent. It was a tough choice as there are so many delicious things on the menu. The friendly and excellent service, food and ambiance was perfect. A big thank you to the staff for such an enjoyable evening. Look forward to going back sometime soon. Sue H“

“The steaks were amazing.! Great service from Chanel“

“Returning to Jack Astor's Bar and Grill is always a pleasure, and my recent visit reaffirmed why it's one of my favorite spots in town. Accompanied by a friend, we indulged in their delectable menu offerings, and as usual, I left thoroughly satisfied.

One of the highlights of my visit is undoubtedly their irresistible sweet potato fries paired with the mango habanero chicken. The combination of flavors is simply unmatched, with the sweetness of the fries perfectly complementing the spicy kick of the chicken. It's a dish that never fails to impress, and I find myself craving it time and time again.

Beyond the exceptional food, Jack Astor's consistently delivers in terms of atmosphere and service. The lively ambiance creates a vibrant backdrop for socializing and enjoying a meal with friends, while the staff are always friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure a memorable dining experience.

Whether you're a regular like myself or visiting for the first time, Jack Astor's Bar and Grill never disappoints. With their delicious menu offerings, inviting atmosphere, and top-notch service, it's no wonder why it remains a go-to destination for casual dining and good times. Highly recommended!“

“Fantastic local spot with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The drinks were excellent, reasonably priced, and the service was quick even when the bar was busy. The music and overall vibe made it a perfect place to relax and spend time with friends. Definitely one of the best places in the area for a night out. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for good drinks and a welcoming environment.“

“We were here for a family meal with our little ones (2 & 5) and our stroller. We were sat at a perfect spot for us, a booth in the back where we can park our stroller. Justine was stellar! She was friendly, energetic and very attentive. We had a great time. Thank you!“

“Not your same old same old establishment. Neat place to chill.“

“Very good experience! Had a fantastic waitress and food was excellent“

“Went to this place around Xmas last year for the first time. No expectations, hadn't heard about it. It was Karaoke night... And it was a Vibe! Staff wearing Santa hats, yelling through microphones, we ordered dumplings which were great. Good times, great service.

Immediately added it to my favourites list.

Fast forward a year and I was wondering if I hyped it too much. Nope! It was a lot quieter this time but still Great wings, great dumplings and great service. If it was closer I would go all the time. See you next time!“

“Comida deliciosa ,staff super atencioso e muito simpatico .“

“The owner of the establishment is amazing and so is the female server so much that we came back the following week and we were met with a very different outcome. We had a tall male server with piercings who was rude, didnt offer us or anyone for a fact a glass of water, the drinks were not up to par like the previous week however regardless the food was always great. We will be back again just on the days we know he wont be there.“

“Was great ! Would highly recommend to eat here !“

“great staff great food“

“Thank you Anthony for amazing service today. You were very concerned about my allergies and made our day! It's rare to find a server so attentive and thorough with dietary needs. There was 4 of us in for appies & drinks, and we were all thoroughly impressed. Definitely will be back & hope you are our server!“

“Best food, best service, best atmosphere“

“I went there to see some live music and the atmosphere was fun and the people that work there were friendly. The music scene is great for people who love the blues and the food is really tasty! Awesome tacos!🤩💥“

“Service was fantastic! Food also great! I had pork belly and the husband had the octopus and it was sooo good. Our drink of choice is Hendrix and tonic with lime and the bar tender added a thin slice of cucumber and that was mind blowing to us. Really good and the way we'll have it from now on.
Very good 👍“

“Came here with my husband tonight. The fish and chips were fantastic, along with the service, but what really struck me was the live music. Maddy and Lenny, I believe, were incredible and I would hope they come back to play sometime soon! My husband and I were amazed at the local talent Roncesvalles has to offer“

“The best burgers and hand cut fries in Scarborough. You get large servings of high quality food. Daily specials! Today I had daily special Penne Con Pollo. DELICIOUS*****chicken breast strips broccoli cauliflower mushrooms and peppers in a hoisin sauce topped with cheese and comes with garlic toast. They even put red pepper when I told them I can't eat green peppers. The garlic cheese bread is also delicious enough for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are.“

“You dont come here for the atmosphere but the patio is very nice. Excellent pub food and service. Definitely recommend the onion rings (made in house) and the chicken wings (big and tasty).“

“Great neighbourhood joint!“

“I took some coworkers for a social gathering after work. Unbeatable prices with house lager on draft at $7 a pint for happy hour. There is a great non alcoholic beer selection which was enjoyed by the nine drinkers. We ordered two orders of wings, nachos, dumplings and a few other appetizers. I can honestly say this is some of the best pub food in the city and there is real unique, home cooked depth to each item. I will be back for the wings. The veggie burger is also one of my faves and it’s reassuring to have a reliable, tasty longstanding gem right off of Trinity Bellwoods. Pat provided us excellent and attentive service and we left feeling taken care of and thoroughly satisfied with the experience. 10/10 recommend.“

“This is our favourite neighborhood pub. Cozy fireplaces in the winter, back patio oasis in the summer. Front patio on nice days for brunch. We eat here whenever we are too lazy to cook or do dishes because the menu has a nice range, the food is good + reasonably priced and the vibes are low-key. They have the BEST wings (with the side of carrots & celery and the chunky proper blue cheese dressing) This place is honestly such a comfort and good for most occasions.“

“My fav skewer place in the downtown area. Happy to see them expanding and getting good business

Quality slipped a little -- compared to when they were in the basement -- but they are solid skewers.

The skewer sizes are pretty small, but they give a lot. Total volume is about the same as other locations, but you get a much better surface area to mass ratio on the meats. This makes the skewers more heavily spiced“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food and a great selection of Canadian beer on tap. Fun evening with live music, lots of tvs for important sporting events and a pool table to keep things interesting. Cheers to the Tickled Toad!“

“Last night we held a celebration in honour of my brother The staff at mcsorleys went well above and beyond to make it a memorable and amazing night thank you so very very much“

“Had a great night out at Axis Gallery & Grill! The highlight of the evening was the live music by Brandon Gregory. His solo acoustic performance was absolutely amazing and created a fantastic atmosphere. Great entertainment, good vibes, and a memorable experience. I would definitely come back for another night of live music!“

“i love it! The outside patio has a relaxing ambiance. Quick service as well.“

“We happened upon this restaurant by a recommendation .....omg....what a diamond of a place... enter through the front door on College Street and wander through to the amazing back patio.....the ambience is unbelievable, you are made to feel so comfortable and at home....our server was Peter who was beyond amazing....if you are looking for a place to go I definitely recommend this place......we are from Ottawa way but will be coming back...totally a 10 out of 10“

“Amazing Chinese & Filipino inspired BBQ food creations♡ Signature Grilled Milkfish and Pork Belly Fries are very delicious!! Must order :)“

“Ordered from them for the first time, for my sister's birthday. Will definitely be ordering again and I intend to check out the actual venue soon. Everyone got different types of meals and all were satisfied. The portions were generous and salads were fresh and tasty.“

“Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Amazing Vibe to the place..would love going back“

“Excellent service. Our waiter MarkB was very pleasant. Made dining a nice experience.“

“Never disappointed:)“

“We had a great experience at Yummy Tummy. The interior may be a little bit uninspiring and divey, but the quality of the food and massive portions provide the main reason to visit. The pork souvlaki platter was easily big enough to feed two, with no up charge for a very flavourful Caesar salad. The owner/chef was quick and courteous, and I could see this being a very solid spot for a low-key dinner or night out with friends.“

“Amazing staff, great food,“

“The staff is very friendly, good service and real delicious food.“

“We came out for the weekend to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary and our Server Robyn was the best!!! She was such a delight we went back the next night! 10/10 food. 10/10 service ! Thank you!!“

“Tony was a wonderful friend and owner of the bar. Michael the new owner and his wife are beautiful souls. The atmosphere is wonderful and the patrons are wonderful people there and lively. It's a small cozy place where everyone makes you feel accepted and welcomed. I always have a blast“

“Had the best time checking out Duke’s Refresher Riverside. So excited they e opened up a location here. We look forward to many more visits!“

“Great neighbourhood spot at Yonge and St. Clair. Food is great and portions are consistent.
Good place to catch a Blue Jays game — enough screens, not too loud and very comfortable.
Shout-out to Nas — always on it, friendly, and makes the place feel like a regular hang instead of just another restaurant. One of my go-tos in the area.“

“This place is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. Whenever I I need a proper meal, this restaurant comes straightaway to my head. fresh and all sorts of food and a large list of dishes.professional crew, and great vibes. In addition to that, the tariff is fair. I sent my friends to this place with great pleasure.“

“It's a simple place, but there are good Beers, beautiful people and excellent song. It's an amazing place. You can understand How Brazilian like samba and you can know many good Brazilian people. I loved all. The location is easy to find. Really close to subway. So you have to know this place when you are in Toronto.“

“Friendly people from all backgrounds.“

“Very friendly husband and wife run, decent people, no drug problems, friendly atmosphere though night life there can be a tad loud, don't bring the kids past dinnertime, it being Parkdale it's tamer then alot of other Establishments that serve alcohol. ? I believe you can Celibate Birthday parties, etc.. just give them a heads up on your plans, they will try to accommodate you and yours! Prices are reasonable there's plaza parking limited, Salvation Army store next door just FYI! P.S. Owners do the serving, no waiters.

Parking: A few disabled spots, closest to the west side of lot. Not sure about unreasonable time periods not having a Vehicle I do know the area.

Wheelchair accessibility: Small lip at doorway but Lance has a piece of wood for entering, and most of the people are quite friendly and actually get the door for wheelchair etc....“

“For a little place it has big personality.. the people have been kind and friendly..the food is yummy.. and it's not to far from home .. will come back to chill with new friends and enjoy great music and drinks..“
