50 Best Pubs near East York

“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 :)“

“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.“

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

“Karaoke, Jukebox, Pool and Accessibility washroom. Tracy is the best!“

“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.“

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

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

The food comes fairly quickly once you order, and the quality is good for price. Beautiful outdoor shabby-chic patio with a reasonable wait times in the summer.“

“Visiting Toronto and we found this hip place. Servers were nice, food was good, drinks were amazing! Sake Bomb!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Best pub in Toronto and it's not close - from the top down, incredible people with great food/drink. Best bartender/host/server/everything in Lauren, can't say enough nice things about how fantastic she is! She always makes it a fantastic experience - as does everyone here - but far and away the best service in the city. All fantastic and deserve so much more attention as a great pub that's run by the best people around!“

“We visited as part of a large (OUA footfall) group, which can often feel overwhelming for a restaurant, but the team here handled us flawlessly.A huge thank you to Grant the manager, as well as our fantastic servers, Luke and Eleanor. They were incredibly attentive to our needs, went out of their way to compliment their guests, and showed top-tier hospitality. They made us feel incredibly welcome and never made us feel like we were being annoying or a burden.It is rare to find a team that handles large parties with such grace and genuine warmth. Keep up the great teamwork!“

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

“I went to Koochini Restaurant & Bar at a friend's invitation. We visited on Saturday, and it was a fantastic experience. The DJs were excellent, the atmosphere was lively, and everyone was having a great time. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The beer, whisky, appetizers, and hookah were all excellent.
Most of the guests seemed to be of Iranian background, which gave the place a unique and vibrant atmosphere. If you enjoy hookah, this is definitely a great place to try it. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a fun night out.“

“Ruby Soho is a cute spot on King St W for dinner and drinks! The Miami vice is the perfect summer drink and the volume provided was perfect - we could sip on it during our entire meal. We really enjoyed the baked spinach dip as well. When we ran out of the initial toast they had provided, the servers brought over a bucket of tortilla chips which was perfect. Did -1 on atmosphere because we were seated next to guys that were physically fighting each other. Otherwise, service was amazing.“

“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“

“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 .“

“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“

“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.“

“Beer beer beer beer beer 🍺“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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.🎶👍“

“The staff here are very friendly and the ambiance is nice and best of all the food is extremely high quality like nothing is too oily and even all the sauces seem to be homemade. I got the chicken wings and they put the sauces on the side which looks like a nice touch and how I want it. They also gave a lot of vegetables like carrots and cucumbers and then I also ordered like Jewish potato things called latkes which is also very delicious for the price is really good. It's also quite easy to park in this neighborhood. There's free parking on like the vertical side streets before midnight and then after midnight on there's like free on the main Street“

“The food is delicious, and it is a restaurant worth bringing family and friends to try.“

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

“Service was amazing And made our night once we found out our concert was rescheduled“

“Yesterday, my husband and I from Muskoka connected with an old friend in Toronto and were looking for a nice patio to enjoy a sit down meal and drinks. We happened to come across Wolfe Tone and the patio was perfect.

What made our reunion, and the day, even more special was that we were never rushed and after finishing our meal, we spent most of the afternoon just sitting and talking. At no point, did the staff make us feel unwelcome. They gave us all the time we needed and for that, we now have a great memory that will last us forever and a big part of that is the atmosphere and great staff who allowed us all the time we wanted!!!

Thank you so much for providing the best backdrop to a wonderful visit!!!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Amazing staff and the best food on kingston“

“Great place. Wonderful staff, amazing owner.“

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

“Staff are friendly and accommodating. Food is great as well! Would definitely go back 👍“

“Affordable prices, laid back atmosphere. The only inconvenience was that there is only one pool table, and regular customers take over for hours without sharing the table even when when they go for a smoke.“

“Thanks Olde Stone Cottage! See you again soon.“

“We have been coming here for 20 years. Either on the weekdays or the weekends, everything and everyone at The Rebel House is just pure perfection. The kitchen is tiny but they churn out the best comfort food. The drinks are always fresh and the staff is always so welcoming. You have to become a regular here!“

“Went to watch World Cup game this past Sunday. They have a weekly 2 for 1 steak special. 8oz striploin w/ steamed veg, fries, gravy & small ceasar salad for only $50. Great deal, steak was a perfect med-rare. Bartender was friendly and attentive. Will def be back.“
