40 Best Beer Bars near North York

“Celebrated my birthday at Zui Beer Bar and had an absolute blast! Ordered the Neon Blitz and a deck of cards, which added to the fun and games with my girls. The vibrant atmosphere, delicious drinks, and lively vibe made for an unforgettable night.

The staff were friendly and attentive when needed, drinks came out fast.The Neon Blitz drink was fruity nicely presented, not strong at all - a must-try if you're not a fan of strong liquor taste, we would have liked it to have a stronger kick for the price. Music was more of a techno type. Overall, the space is on the tighter side but still cozy.

Zui Beer Bar is the perfect spot for a fun night out with friends. We can't wait to return and create more memories.

Reading some of the other reviews, apparently, they give out free birthday drink #sad I didn't get one.

Parking: Lots of Green P parking around“

“Great hang, hidden in the heart of Toronto. Excellent for first dates, or to celebrate. Lots of great selections from knowledgable staff“

“Happy staff, fun environment! New fav drink’”Home Sweet Home”. Smooth citrus type drink...yumm :)“

“Went here twice while staying the weekend in Toronto for an event. The first night was BUSY but they still managed to find us a place and get us some great food and drinks without issue! Last night 10/28/2023 we came back just for some drinks around 11 and sat at the bar. I could tell it had been a LONG day for everyone working (anyone who has worked service knows the look of a long day) and let me just say. Everyone was still wonderful and kind and helpful. I wish I could remember her name but the woman working the bar with dark hair was AMAZINGGGGG I'm sad we live so far away, but next year we'll be back :)“

“The hostess sat us down next to a super loud table, then comes back to us and tells us that she forgot there was a reservation so we have to be done in 30 minutes, then she came back before we even recieved our food to remind us; they were out of a couple beers, and the pretzel machine was broken. Should have been a bad experience but Delo was our server and he was awesome. We had great banter, he poked fun at us, and made the whole experience awesome! Delo is the man. Any server who can turn a bad experience into a great one (though none of the bad experience was his fault) is an employee you want to keep!“

“Love this place good beer and good service“

“Sat at the bar this weekend and had a great time with some friends. The bartender Hayley was amazing, she was super friendly and attentive even while she was making other peoples drinks. Definitely coming back for the service, food and great vibes. Thanks Hayley you made our day!“

“First visit to a really great, fun place. Very busy but we were very well looked after by both the hostess and our server. Very helpful and well informed. I had sticky Korean ribs (excellent) and my wife had steak frites (also excellent). We both had beer (of course) also very good. Thank you to all who looked after us so well. We plan another visit within a few weeks. *****stars“

“I found Tutti Matti on Google Maps and like the other reviewers shared, this establishment did not disappoint. My husband and I shared the LoLo Pizza and Brisket Pasta. We finished our meal with the Panna Cotta dessert. My first time trying it and definitely won’t be my last. If you’re looking for great Italian food and a cozy ambiance, Tutti Matti is the place to eat while in Toronto. Juliana“

“Tucked away in the neighborhood, Little Jerry is the kind of place you stumble upon once and never forget. Every dish feels like it’s made with love and intention by Chef Adam, who clearly pours his heart into every plate. The flavours are comforting yet creative — like dining at a friend’s home who just happens to be an incredible chef.

The owner and hosts were genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. And the vibe? Just perfect — vinyl records spinning in the background, setting an atmosphere that’s cozy, nostalgic, and effortlessly cool.

If you’re looking for a place that feeds both your heart and your appetite, Little Jerry is it. ✨“

“I would highly recommend this place. Good value. Friendly, patient, and helpful service. It was not too noisy. The food appeared high quality and some of the simpler looking menu items were actually really dynamic and delicious. Like the kale salad and squash with bread. My only thorn was their seating layout was weird and was a distraction. We arrived at an empty restaurant, and the first three couples to be seated were all seated together at the back of the restaurant at very tiny tables, felt like our dinner was basically shared with the other couples (they agreed). So just don't expect any private convos. But still would recommend 5/5.“

“Late Night Pizza Bar is absolutely amazing! 🍕 The pizza is always hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor. The crust is perfectly crispy, the toppings are generous, and the cheese is just right. The atmosphere is chill, perfect for hanging out late, and the staff are super friendly and attentive. Definitely my go-to spot for late-night cravings — highly recommended!“

“Perched discreetly above the bustling Le Banane restaurant, Bar Banane isn't just a waiting area; it’s a destination in its own right—a cool, sophisticated escape for the discerning drinker.

The atmosphere whispers of exclusivity, but the service is anything but stuffy. It's truly great, with attentive staff who guide you through a fascinating drink menu. Forget the standard fare; the cocktail program here is genuinely interesting and ambitious. Offerings like the Lovely Rita, a smoky, intriguing Mezcal-based concoction, and the Message in a Bottle hint at a thoughtful, high-level approach to mixology. (And for those who appreciate the classics, a dedicated selection of Negronis during Negroni Week certainly demonstrated their commitment to cocktail culture.)

As a devoted fan of pisco, I opted for the Message in a Bottle, a daring blend anchored by pisco and vanilla liqueur. While the spirit-forward nature of the drink was admittedly strong for my palate, its construction was undeniably expert. It achieved a beautiful balance, showing the skill of the bartender. The presentation was elevated further by a perfectly placed, torched peach garnish, adding a subtle, sweet, and smoky dimension that was a true delight.

Bar Banane operates on a higher plane of cocktail execution. It strikes that perfect balance: inventive drinks, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that feels both exclusive and welcoming. The strength of the menu is compelling enough to ensure that a return visit is not just a plan, but a priority!“

“Really good and I think they upgraded their menu !“

“Super cozy and chill spot for drinks and small bites with friends! The atmosphere is great and the server and owner were so kind. It was a great stop after dinner at a nearby restaurant, giving a chance for the night to continue with more drinks and food. Will definitely be back again to try some of the other drinks (super extensive cocktail menu) and food (lots of interesting korean fusion options!)“

“Great spot for creative cocktails.“

“Been going to The Horn for many, many years. We've gotten to know all the staff who are absolutely amazing. It's one of our regular spots in the neighbourhood to have a delish local lager (or three, who are we kidding, right Dave?!) a munchie and chill on one of the best backyard patios in the city. There's always a game on and the vibe on the inside is laid back and comfy. Kristin and the crew are all gems! 5/5!“

“Friendly staff with good customer service! The grub is fresh and so delicious🙂Keep coming back……“

“It's a cozy little bar with lots of live music by great musicians! The staff are great and there's a good beer and drinks selection.“

“One of my faves in the city“

“I had such a a good time. We hosted my uncle memorial here. J is awesome. Such a dynamo of good vibes! I definitely recommend this spot. The food was on point. The drinks kept coming. The laughter was endless. The people are friendly. I met a new friend from Morocco.“

“Lovely little local cafe with a pretty, shady back garden. Lots of picnic tables to be shared. Highly recommended
Oh! Vinyl records and racks of vintage clothing for sale inside.
I want this place to be a hidden secret but word travels fast“

“it's so good. But it's borderline cruel that the server only gives you one napkin .These are messy af.“

“Great beer selection and a fantastic breakfast sandwich!“

“Rarely add reviews but the owner/manager is a great person for which the place deserves a review. The service is always kind and courteous. I work nearby and had a work party at their establishment a month ago. I had a tab opened on my card and someone with similar name walked out with it. They went above and beyond to not only recover the card but also were generous enough to cover my bill. I stopped by few days later and they covered my pool bill again despite my insistence to pay. I left the highest tip but the high echelon of service and thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated and goes a long way. They definitely earned a loyal customer in me.

Apart from that they have great pool tables and chill vibes. Great after work stop to grab a pint and play a quick game of pool!“

“We had another memorable time at Blue Bovine this week prior to a concert. This was our 4th visit this year and we love everything about this beautiful restaurant. Amazing appetizers, sushis, mains, deserts, inspiring cocktails and impressive wine list. Service is attentive but discreet which is something we appreciate. Not perfect but we are all humans...Some extra points too for side table service for the profiteroles desert ! Last but not least, kudos to Executive Chef Sean for dropping by our table and asking our young daughter if she wanted something special prepared by the kitchen. In today's busy world, we unfortunately don't see such gestures anymore. This will only reinforce our loyalty towards Blue Bovine and continue to recommend it to friends.“

“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!“

“Casual, friendly, good service.“

“Always a fun time, REALLY cool design to the place, and a nice selection of non-alcoholic drinks if you're the driver. The skewers are a great option weather you're just a little snack, or you wanna go nuts!

Staff are very nice.“

“good food, good service, and even better views!“

“Great Tuesday night tunes and much fun“

“I have been coming here for a little over a year now and the food has never disappointed me! Great portion sizing, always fresh and tasty. The food is always made to order and the chicken pieces are pretty big. When I had an issue with my order, they worked fast to correct it and provided excellent customer service. Highly recommend if you’re in the area“

“Only stayed in Toronto for 2 nights and spent both of them here. Good service, good food, great beer and a very friendly owner who went out of his way to talk to us“

“Night Mananger was on point with helping us and serving us !!“
