50 Best Pubs near North York

“We have hosted our work events at this venue for the past three years, and the experience has consistently been wonderful.

It has always been late afternoon toward end of May/early June.

The staff is always attentive, ensuring that the food is served promptly and that everyone in our group is well taken care of. The food itself is excellent, and your party packages provide a great variety of options to choose from.

Our office has a wide range of age groups, and everyone had a fantastic time mingling and enjoying the games room. We truly appreciate the high level of service and look forward to returning next year.“

“Zui Bar has such an amazing atmosphere the vibe is upscale but still fun and relaxed. The music, lighting, and overall aesthetic make it the perfect spot for a night out. The drinks were great, they don’t water them down so you get your moneys worth!“

“The best of all the firkins, frankly y'all should go independent - if you're a firkin hater (from experience) this is NOT a firkin by any standard, other than the sign and gaudy decor. This place has quality food, elite service and a wonderful atmosphere.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful time at this place! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, the food and drinks were excellent, and everything arrived quickly. A special thank you to Karina for her outstanding service — she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome throughout our visit. Her positive attitude made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place, and we’ll definitely be back!“

“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“

“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“

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

“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!).“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“I've been to Tengo KTV three times now. The man working on weekdays is incredibly sweet and provides great service. It's very easy to find English songs through Youtube on their system, and they will help you set it up. Pricing is reasonable as well, especially compared to other karaoke places in Markham.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“Yes 110%, perfect to be your local!“

“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 place. Wonderful staff, amazing owner.“

“great service.. amazing place 🍸“

“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!“

“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 .“

“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 :)“

“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 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!!!“

“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.“

“everything is beautiful 💜🥂🍾✝️“

“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.“

“Great local pub ,for all occasions ,go there for all soccer games ,and the banter ,and the staff are amazing , and the food is great and very affordable ....great M.“
