Stopped into this place with a bunch of my my buddies to celebrate my birthday. The Live music and food at this place is incredible. If you are in the area, definitely recommend dropping in and checking it out. The servers Tina and Carolina were friendly and very attentive and would definitely recommend this place for a large group coming in to celebrate an occasion.

Tina and Carolina are the most attentive and compassionate bartenders you will ever meet. Went there for a couple of drinks the day my grandfather passed away and all they did the whole night is talk and comfort me and made me feel better about life. To add to that the food and the live music is great. Definitely recommend coming and checking out this place.

First time going to south shore for a couple of cocktails and Karolina the bartender was amazing. She made the whole night the experience. She was really sad that there wasn’t a blender to make some fancy drinks and she said she would bring one from home next time I visited there! Would go back definitely to see what kind of fancy drinks she would make me! Karolina is the best! New edit Aug 31st!! There was a like on my post (by me) so I had to add to this and let the people know about my experience . I brought a blender to south shore and Karolina made me the most unique margarita ever. Shout out to her and the dedication to being a great bartender! Will definitely come back!

Shockingly good food and really friendly service. Went here randomly just expecting basic bar food, but everything was really fresh and delicious. Portions were huge and prices were very reasonable. Will definitely go back next time we’re in the area.

The Wyck
The Wyck Recommendation: South Shore Bar & Grill Rating: 3.7/5 When Etobicoke Became Belgrade (For One Glorious Night)
Intro Scene It started like any Saturday should—with low expectations and clean shoes. We wandered into South Shore looking for a beer, maybe a warm barstool and something fried. Instead, we walked straight into the Balkan version of Studio 54: bodies swaying, a saxophone wailing like it just lost custody, and the kind of chaotic joy you can’t schedule. We didn’t speak the language. We didn’t need to.
What Was Ordered Just a couple of Madri lagers, cold and indifferent. The kind of beer that doesn’t ask questions, just fills the space between you and whatever’s unfolding on stage. Food? Next time, if the music ever lets us sit still long enough to chew.
Service Commentary One bartender. Forty orders. Zero flinches. She moved like a surgeon at closing time—focused, precise, immune to the fact that someone just started dancing in front of the Guinness tap. No small talk, no shade. Just vibes and volume.
Vibe Check The front of the room was all Serbian aunties doing slow-motion shoulder rolls like they’d been summoned by Slavic moonlight. Men lingered at the back like Balkan security detail—arms crossed, heads nodding, beers held like relics. The band? Loud, tight, and unapologetically traditional. You didn’t need to understand it to get it—you just had to let it hit your ribs.
The Space Itself It’s all wood and wires. A long bar for leaning. A stage built for heartbreak. Neon signs glowing like they’ve seen things. And then there's the bathroom—where a sad leather chair lives between two dying plants, and a Sharpied worm in a fedora whispers secrets from the stall door. If that worm wrote a novel, I'd buy it.
About the Neighborhood This is Brown’s Line—not Belgrade, not Queen West—but for a couple of hours, it became a different country. The kind where nobody’s on their phone, everyone knows the words, and parking is free. A miracle.
Hits & Misses ✓ Live music that restructured my DNA ✓ Madri lager, no frills, no regrets ✓ Dancing that felt like folklore and arthritis ✓ Bathroom art that deserves a gallery
✗ Bathroom plants: one cough away from the grave ✗ Didn't eat (but didn’t need to) ✗ If you're looking for quiet, you're already lost
Final Verdict South Shore isn’t a bar—it’s a portal. One minute you're in Etobicoke, the next you’re surrounded by tambourines, basslines, and women who dance like the music owes them money. It’s wild. It’s warm. It’s weird in the way only real places are. And if you don’t like it, that’s fine. The worm doesn’t want to talk to you anyway.
Great place to go on the weekend or through the week for food and live music.

I was here for the st paddy's day party on Saturday and had a fantastic time. Food here is spectacular, they have some of the best cooks in the city and no one beats the service of the girls here. I would recommend everyone to try this place put.
