50 Best Pubs near North York

“This venue, its owner and its employees made the planning and execution of my late wife’s celebration of life extremely simple. They also ensured my family, my self and the other attendees ate food and no one had an empty glass or plate. Thank you for all you have done“

“The vibe is wonderful. Hundred percent fit for friends group chilling. The combo, including alcohol n snacks is great, reasonable pricing. And the food is actually not bad. Beer u can kinda taste it might mix with water cuz pretty light. The whiskey is good. I prefer the whiskey ice tea over beer a lot. The staff is nice just not the front desk girl. When we walk in, she said they are full booking. We completely understand, even a bit disappointed, we r gonna search up another bar nearby. And then the next second she said she forgot they have second level which is empty😂 I was like what, how can you forget that. At the end, when we leave, we still don see they are full, lmao“

“Great place food is always good. There daily soup for seven bucks is great. Loved there fish tacos. Staff is friendly and courteous.
Love the fact there has always been space to sit. Now the cold weather has passed it should get busier. My friend Nancy says there patio is great. Just moved into the neighborhood.“

“I'm here often with friends. The service is always great and so is the food. Whenever I'm trying to do a get together this is usually my go to spot. The recently added Wednesday night karaoke but I could never get to go to it. I'm sure it's fun though.“

“Fresh food, great atmosphere. Highly recommended“

“Today I had my son's 1st birthday party at the restaurant. Our waitress (Madison I believe) was great! She was patient, organized and was so kind and helpful. Serving 30 people cannot be an easy task for anyone. We hope the staff enjoy the leftover cake!“

“Great pub! Food is good and the service is even better! Great place to go play Buzztime trivia.“

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

“My favourite spot in the city! Love the food, the team and the atmosphere ❤️ ordering the wrong thing is impossible!! happy hour oysters and fries always hits and you cannot go wrong with the burger, salad lyonnaise, steak, lamb, boccarones or chocolate mousse ;)“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“This place is literally a hidden gem 100/100 and definitely recommend. The space Is so so nice for a photoshoot and it was so dam clean. The staff was so friendly and my friends and I sang our hearts out for my birthday. Would likely come back again! Unforgettable experience“

“Best dive bar in the city“

“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 :)“

“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.🎶👍“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“I had booked a table and didn't arrive right on time (I was running late) and received a phone call from the restaurant asking about my reservation. I informed them I was minutes away and the held the table for me. Very nice of them because the restaurant was VERY busy.“

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

“I’m here right now learning that in 27 days this place is being torn down to make room for condos. I am absolutely heartbroken - this place is a Toronto staple, and so important for the community and culture of University of Toronto and the city as a whole. I have been coming here for crash outs, for celebrations, and for everything in between. This place has been with me for all the highs and lows of my life and I am devastated to lose this part of me. Please reconsider City of Toronto. Think about what you’re taking away from us“

“Yes 110%, perfect to be your local!“

“great service.. amazing place 🍸“

“Cozy place with great value, amazing food and friendly, fast service!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Great place. Wonderful staff, amazing owner.“

“Came here for food and drinks with friends. Ordered nearly the entire dessert menu plus a margarita pizza (a wood fire style oven deserved trying). The drinks and all the desserts were great, however the pizza fell flat. The cheese was VERY thin and used sparingly which made the pizza something that can easily be missed. Would come back just for drinks and dessert.“

“Tuesday night trivia and Sunday night music are both excellent. But what sets King Henry's Arms above all others in Richmond Hill is the staff. Great cooks, great servers. 5 stars“

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

“Decent overall. Server wasn’t very friendly. Bathroom was super cramped, you literally open the door to someone peeing and half exposed to the hallway and without room to walk by to the sink to wash or to use a stall. Beer was good though and the patio was awesome!“

“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 .“

“I'm from Mississauga but was in the Vaughan area this evening. Did a google search of nearby sports bars and The Mills Taphouse & Grill came up in my search. I quickly checked their online menu and decided to go there. Had some great food and awesome, friendly service from Melissa. Looks like an awesome place to catch a Leafs or Raptors game in future and this great first impresion will definitely bring me back. 👍👍“

“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 :)“

“everything is beautiful 💜🥂🍾✝️“

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

“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.“

“Great food and beer selection. Comfortable surroundings and attentive staff. Summer patio is much sought after and worth the wait. As a vegetarian, I always ask for substitions and have always been happy with the chef's inventions. One of the best on the Yonge Street beat.
Updating post pandemic. Thanksgiving weekend the patio was still open but quiet. Still the same comfortable feel to the place.“

“Go-to spot!!

I come here quite often and enjoy my experience every time. Larissa goes above and beyond every time and takes good care of us. The food and drinks are delicious too and reasonably priced. Will continue coming back!!“

“Very friendly staff and customers all know each other so it is a local hangout. I will be going often!“
