50 Best Pubs near East York

“Cute little neighborhood pub. I've lived in the area for just a little while and had never gone in after walking by many times.My partner and I stopped in on a whim and had some no-nonsense drinks.The Owner was sweet, and we felt well taken care of. It was fun and good value, so we'll be back soon!“

“My son and I were looking for a cup of coffee, and were drawn to 367 Cafe by the promise of a patio. It's in the back and can be heated. Essentially this is a cozy cafe and sports bar. The very friendly proprietor told us it isn't worth his while to try to serve meals during the pandemic. The espresso was very good, however.“

“I know they open very early for the amazing breakfast menu, but my only disappointment is that the kitchen closes too soon at night. Maybe they should announce last call for food like they do for alcohol as 1030pm seems very early when people need to absorb the drinks while enjoying the amazing LIVE local talent on Saturday nights. 10/10 for Mark, Reno & the Chefs :)“

“Worst wings I have ever had. Old and dry my guess they were leftovers from Superbowl Sunday and I was there on Tuesday.“

“Great place, great food, great people and great ambience“

“went for the first time after the jays game. it was fantastic“

“Fantastic experience at The Old York Tavern. I had never been, but my cousin recommended it and will 💯 be back. One of the best brunch patios I’ve been on, ever. Situated in more of a residential area, you are not getting the overstimulating hustle and bustle vibe of the city but more of a chill and quaint small town. The polarizing view of the CN tower was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed the lobster Benedict and the French toast. Top notch!“

“A lovely place to relax and enjoy great food. Excellent service - fully recommend visiting here. We will definitely be back x“

“On Saturday night, after my daughter had an unsettling experience with an Uber driver, she ended her trip early and got out at the Mugshot Tavern. From the moment she walked in, the staff treated her with kindness, warmth, and genuine care. They made sure she felt safe and comfortable until I arrived. In what was a stressful and frightening moment for her, the team at Mugshot Tavern showed what it means to be good people. I’m deeply grateful for their compassion and quick action. The world needs more places like this where people look out for each other, even when they don’t have to. Thank you, Mugshot Tavern.“

“Amazing selection of whiskey, wonderful friendly staff, good food (with plenty of veg friendly options!).“

“Love this place! Casual low-key vibe… right up my alley!“

“One of the best steaks I have ever tried! Oh, and one of few places in Toronto that play great music. Service is quick and personable. Great place!“

“Great staff, you feel so welcomed each and every time you're there. They really make it a comfortable sociable atmosphere.“

“It’s better then KFC Cheese stick OMG🤤best I’ve ever had The spicy 🌶️ pastas ou 😋 So I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Located within walking distance to the Royal Ontario Museum and easy to find. Everyone was super friendly, and the food was very good. Prices were fair. I would definitely come again if I am in the area. I had the grilled chicken club med bowl. The chicken was very tender (not dry at all) and the bowl was very light and well proportioned.“

“I had such a great experience at Koochini Shisha Bar! The atmosphere was vibrant, the music set the perfect mood, and the shisha quality was excellent with smooth flavors and great variety.
But what truly made the night special was Reyhaneh’s service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect for us from start to finish. Her positive energy and professionalism really stood out.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun, relaxing night out — and definitely ask for Reyhaneh!“

“This is my favorite local pub. superb food, yummy drinks, good vibes, friendly service, good times.“

“So happy to see the seasonal pesto burrata back on the menu. It was simply delicious with the added touch of pickled wild leeks (ramps)on top. Wow! What a nice detail. And I was told they pickle them there. In addition, the sourdough bread is amazing! Thanks guys....we'll be back“

“Best dive bar in the city“

“the auld spot is my go to on the danforth. i love the servers and the owner and the chef rob. the food is good and the cocktail , wine list , and craft beers are exceptional. there are also daily specials and in the summer they have a patio. just an easy friendly neighborhood place. the place is always full which speaks for the quality of the food and place“

“10/10 would recommend to a friend! Good vibes, good food, but most of all, fantastic service. Our server, Quianna, was a dream! Super friendly, great attitude, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Would come back just for her :)“

“Finding high quality comfort food unique to everything else out there is hard to find. So glad to have found Lima Charlies while out one night. We've tried many dishes since with favourites being the buffalo chicken wrap, buffalo pizza and burger of course.
Enjoyed the newer 'tater tots' the other night along with the sliders for happy hour!! Hope you guys will do brunch one day :)“

“The service is excellent and waitstaff are very good and very friendly. Some of the food items though are not that great. I had the nachos one time, and wanted to order them with ground beef instead of chicken. When I got it, it was chunks of steak, not ground beef. If they had told me they didn't have ground beef I would have ordered something else. I also asked that they take out the jalapenos as I cannot eat them. It was COVERED with jalapenos and even some hidden in the cheese. I did not enjoy them and ate 1/4 of it. I should have sent it back but I already had substitutions and didn't want to be a trouble customer. At another visit I ordered the bruschetta. This is NOT bruschetta. It is on naan bread, not a traditional bun. Instead of chunks of tomatoes and onions, it was slices of tomato and a couple of slices of onion, and covered in feta cheese. That is not bruschetta, I was highly disappointed. They do have some great menu items, the goulash is outstanding as is the chicken linguine and shrimp pasta. Their onion soup is really good, the onion rings and poutine are also very good. I was just disappointed in the two dishes I had.“

“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.“

“Beer beer beer beer beer 🍺“

“Spacious! Good food! Nice place for a team event!“

“Best EVER! Cheap drinks...and John....mmmm.“

“Legit Irish pub in the east end pouring great pints of Guinness.

Came on Friday night at around 8:30pm to kill time while we waited for a table at Oldeseuol Tavern. This place was packed and they had live music. Thankfully we were able to get a seat for 2 in the back.

We ordered Guiness and a side of onion rings. I was expecting a few rings, but was surprised when it came out quite big for $5!

Highly recommend and can't wait to come back to try their food next time.“

“We come to the Abbot after most every rehearsal, and can always count on fast and friendly service. They're always accommodating with our group.🎶👍“

“This is my favourite pub in Toronto as it has the best selection of beers, great food and volumes in which you can have a proper conversation!
And as an Ed Sheeran fan, Alecia always makes sure we get some Ed songs on the playlist 😆

Alecia, Amy and Alan are the best and they always look out for you when you’re here!

I’d recommend Kasteel Rubus as the first beer you order and do try the Schnitzel“

“Spent a few hours there, just got home, i havent been this relaxed in a very long time :) Met some AWESOME People there, will be going back this Friday for Karaoke :P“

“great service.. amazing place 🍸“

“Great place. Wonderful staff, amazing owner.“

“Love this place! A community hangout! Great live local music!“

“The Mezz is a great place to have a drink with friends. Gabe (bartender) was really nice and the service was amazing. I went on Jan 25 when the snowstorm hit so the kitchen was closed, but the drinks were great (cranberry juice with vodka is amazing). Staff were very kind and supportive when a man was bothering me, and I would definitely recommend this place for women who are alone (or anyone, really)!

I’ve had bad experiences at bars so I’m grateful for the great service here. Will definitely be back.“

“Superb. Garlic allergy no problem Staff listened an adapted menu so I could eat. Amazing salad with beets, goats cheese chicken and pecans. Highly recommend. Bonus as baseball was on .“

“Amazing staff and the best food on kingston“

“I cannot stress enough how much we love Pour Boy! Such a natural local chill, non pretentious, welcoming space and staff. There was 8 of us and all tables were full at all times! The food and drinks constantly showed up promptly great portions and yummy!!!), and the staff always made time for us, whether to take our orders or have a quick comical chat! Our server was Nee I believe. There was two of them, and they were just fab!!! Looking forward to another visit sometime soon!! Thank you Pour Boy team!!!“

“One of the best little patios, hidden away in the back. Love the Grilled Cheese and the home fries. They also have a great selection of beers 🍻 I've been coming to Rebel House for well over 17 years and am always very happy with the service, the food and the atmosphere.“

“Some items are a bit on the spicy side but fair prices.“

“Always a great stop. Icy cold beers. Great service. Always a warm greeting when walking through the door.
Food top notch. Today was a chicken club wrap and a Ruben.
Never had such crisp lettuce in a wrap. Ruben was made to perfection.

Fantastic patio out back. Massive. Tvs for watching sports n the like.

Thanks for a fill up after a great day of walking the Roncy area.“

“They don't serve food, just alcohol. They're ok with bringing food, mostly geared to UofT staff and students but they will serve anyone. I drank GSU (the pub's) lager for $5.45 CAD/pint (16oz) it's pretty good and so great in value. Check out the images.“

“Would live here if I could. Killer food and service!“

“great paper plane cocktail 🙂🙂“
