“This microbrewery does everything right. The space is open and maneuverable. Ample seating available. Great, diverse selection of beers at awesome price points. Service was amazing. Just a super comfortable place to hang out and drink in general. They also have a kickass selection of board games that feature some uncommon picks.“

“Great beer and ambience inside and out“

“I came in yesterday, there was this unprecedented party of people that showed up unannounced and had taken over the brewery common space. But the manager went out of their way to make it work for our party of people. Saved our Saturday and had some of the best beer in Toronto.“

“great beer and lovely place.“

“If you don't know where it is, find it!

In the middle of an industrial estate, at the end of a dead end street.

A joy of a place, great staff, great beers and either bring your own food of order it in. What isn't there too like?

If you want to go the Bellwoods brewpub in the West End but can't or don't want to go there, go to Hafis, its as chill, great choice of beers and you can bring your own food.“

“After over a month of ordering IVY every week, I'm Happy that I finally tapped out the last keg of IVY!
Looking forward to next weeks new line up of beers.

Our family comes here nearly once a week especially for their Monday $5 flights specials. Great rotation of beers from Ontario Craft Breweries, bonus rotation of many ciders! They have a lot of seating both inside and out. The live music days are great as they have local artists coming in. Love that they are dog friendly too! Special shout out to Roberto!

“Really cool space with a great selection of beer. Looking forward to seeing the larger space but would defineitly be back again if ever in Toronto.“

“Have visited this spot twice now, and will make it a regular stop on my trips to Toronto. I was lucky enough to be served by Erica both times, who was knowledgable and enthusiastic about their impressive draft list!“

“Great day at Henderson. Aidan and team were really helpful and fun…bought us a round as well. Tons of Rush themed beer merch too.“

“Incredibly skilled brewing team with amazing balance of unique flavours. A MUST stop when you are in Toronto.“

“If you want to capture the absolute essence of Toronto's west-end culture, you sit on the Bellwoods patio on a sunny afternoon. Located right on the bustling Ossington strip, it’s housed in an iconic, converted white-brick garage with a minimalist, string-lit patio out front.

It’s laid-back, community-centric & effortlessly cool. You’ll see everyone here from local artists and dog owners to off-duty chefs. It gets incredibly busy, but the staff keeps things moving with a chill, friendly attitude.“

“Great food and 🍻 fun atmosphere“

“what a delicious beer! such a pure flavor, so precise in the descriptio in addition to an excellent, creative and elegantly extravagant presentation, It shows and it is appreciated that they make beer with a lot of love“

“My partner and I stumbled into this brewery to waste some time and grab a drink. We were very pleasantly suprised! We both ordered beer flights and ended up buying some to take home. The bartender was welcoming, laid-back and knowledgeable about the beer.“

“We had a great time!! Service was good…Beer was great!!“

“A nice pub with great beer and a fantastic atmosphere, though it can get a bit noisy. It’s great that, besides beer, you can grab something to eat and even pick up some small snacks. Toronto could definitely use more places like this—it feels much more relaxed and carefree than a typical pub or bar.“

“Didn't have the food but the beers were great and even better than the beers was the amazing staff who were unbelievably friendly and had great advice on what other breweries to visit while in T.O. Highly recommend visiting this place! We will definitely be be back!“

“In Nova Scotia, and just had their 2019 Balam. Easily the best beer I have had, the rich chocolate, the sweet bourbon, and the smooth toffee with the boozy hit, just magical. I wish there is more coming out of this in the coming years, and to get myself to Ontario to enjoy their beer in person.“

“We had our X-mas hockey party there and it was a great vibe. Servers were fun, food was good and I recommend their new stout on tap ; Blak Katt.“

“Food was excellent. Surprised I haven't heard about this place before. Burgers tasted like a Big Mac but not terrible. The chicken strips in Buffalo sauce tasted like how Jack Astor's used to. Onion rings were bomb. The hot fudge brownie was great. I went during the England-Norway match. It was very busy. The staff were still on top of everything and very professional so good job them. I've since been back and the smaller store room bar area is more to my tastes. The larger room is like every brewery you've been to in terms of look.

I almost forgot about the beer. I tried a bunch. All very nice. I liked Divercity and Across the Pond best.“

“We just had both our wedding and rehearsal dinner in July of 2026 and it turned out better than i could have hoped for! We used their courtyard for the ceremony ( and amazing family photos), the patio for cocktail hour and inside for the reception.

The food was amazing, with all of our family and friends continuing to rave about it, now a week later.

Sam and his team were amazing to work with, throughout the entire planning process. Great communication, fast email responses and willingness to help with any request you have, to help bring your vision to life. We cant recommend them enough!“

“Great beer selection and a fantastic breakfast sandwich!“

“The best beer in the town“

“The Amsterdam Brewhouse is located along the Lake Ontario Waterfront at Queen's Quay West. They have a large indoor and outdoor seating area and are open from 11am to late (weekdays) and 10am to late (weekends). Menu features the Amsterdam Brewery label draught beers along with a fairly typical bar food menu. We visited recently during a warm weekend afternoon and were able to be seated immediately. Blonde Lager tasted just fine, artichoke dip was pretty good as well. Prices are a bit high but we found food and drink quality to be fair enough, food portion sizes are good. Venue is quite fun and views of the lake are great. Amsterdam Brewhouse is a fun place, we'd be happy to pop in again during future walks along the waterfront.“
