They have a wide variety of beers my friends enjoy, and mocktails that I enjoy! Their food is also very delicious and much of it can be made to be gluten free!

The food was great and so was the customer service. Can’t wait to come back!

I’ve been coming here every year, and the food and service are consistently great. It’s such a lovely spot to visit on a sunny weekend🥰

Great beer and really good food! Service is awesome as well. The patio is nice and there is a covered section to get some shade if you prefer.

A steamy night with our group! Enjoyed a few drinks on the patio on one of the hottest evenings in June. Kung Pow Cauliflower and Garlic aioli fries were a hit! Shout out to the manager who accommodated our large group.Thank you to Bandit Brewery for a great night!

The Wyck
The Wyck Recommendation: Bandit Brewery Rating: 4.2/5 Trash Panda Magic. Love. Curds. A Giant Glass Wall.
Intro Scene I was the third customer through the door when Bandit opened. Just a hopeful guy with a good shirt and a better date, drinking cloudy beers on a stripped down patio. We stayed together a while. Blame it on the cheese curds or the Bandit brews, but either way, something fermented just right.
What Was Ordered Flight of beers. As always, rotating taps, nothing boring. The legendary beer battered cheese curds. Mandatory. A glass or two of hazy, juicy something. Names change, raccoon logo stays.
Those curds? Molten, golden, salty little pillows of crime. Comes with a dipping sauce, but I barely remember touching it. What’s the point when the batter sings?
Service Commentary This has always been Bandit’s fatal flaw. From the early days to now, they just cannot seem to nail service. Not rude. Not incompetent. Just consistently distracted. Like everyone working here is thinking about a film career or a food truck they would rather be running. You flag someone down, they forget. You order, they vanish. The vibes stay high, but expectations stay low.
Vibe Check Busy but mellow. Craft beer bros. Couples pretending not to check their ex’s Instagram. One guy wearing a Dolly Parton Fan Club hat. Music low, conversations higher. No pressure, no pretense. Just hops and humans.
The Space Itself Once a garage. Now a beer garden with stainless tanks, dangling vines, and a tree growing indoors like it is trying to unionize. The patio has been transformed by a massive glass door wall that closes it off like a greenhouse during beer season. It used to be open and raw. Now it looks like a tech bro’s Musk funded beer dream. Still charming.
About the Neighborhood Located on Dundas West just before it gets too cool to park. There are two entrances. One to the bar. One to the bottle shop. Do not get confused unless you enjoy the feeling of being reborn inside a fridge. A good stroll from vintage shops, indie snacks, and tattooed dads with fixed gear bikes.
Hits and Misses
✓ Beer battered cheese curds. Hall of fame snack ✓ Flight friendly tap list with fun, weird brews ✓ Giant retractable glass patio door is slick and warm weather proof ✓ Brewery tanks make it feel authentic, not too polished ✗ Service has never been their strong suit ✗ Some beers are forgettable filler ✗ Prices creeping into hmm territory
Final Verdict Bandit started humble. Just suds and sun and one of the best damn patio snacks in Toronto. Now it has serious patio tech, glossy touches, and a bit of polish, but the bones are the same. Come for the curds. Stay if someone beautiful orders a flight and you remember what it felt like to fall for someone at a brewery.
Perfect For First dates that accidentally last three years Trying new beers with someone who gets your weird

Great vibe at this brewery ! Although completely enclosed, the “outdoor” patio was a little chilly in December so make sure you dress warmly. Smash Burger with fries was delicious and a good size portion. The crispy chicken sandwich was very large, a little too greasy and difficult to eat without it completely falling apart. Service was terrific - great place to hang with a group. Very noisy (but that’s part of the charm) so don’t expect to have a quiet conversation with your friends on a Saturday night !! Highly recommended Bandit!

I came here and had an amazing time. The service, food and ambiance was incredible. I ordered the Carbonara and it made my night! I wasn't expecting to be wowed at a brewery, even the bathrooms were spotless.

Weirdly unfriendly. Beer is unrefined.

Quality has definitely dropped in the past two years but the ambience is worth it. I love a closed in patio with lights and trees.

Generally love Bandit and have been a long time customer. However, its been closed for private events almost every time I've tried to go this year. I've just stopped making plans to go.
Unreal service- manager and her team were amazing
