40 Best Bar & Grill in Toronto

“This place is amazing! The service, food, everything is great and we had a great experience. Adam was very nice and helped us to our table as soon as we got in. Toni was our waitress and she was super accommodating, attentive, and helpful. They were great. Would definitely recommend.“

“Can I give a big shoutout to Haley and Caity - lovely individuals, warm and welcoming - they made sure my friend and I were taken care, they were attentive, something I found very comforting is that they were able to connect with us based off different upbringings - they really about the people. Jack astors, yall got some good people here, hopefully yall notice that - you know how life goes, we take it for granted, while it’s there, than miss it when it’s gone.“

“Best food, best service, best atmosphere“

“Not your same old same old establishment. Neat place to chill.“

“A very cosy uptown restaurant ! I have been several times over the years and it never disappoints. Was there again last night and have to say the veal scallopini was excellent. It was a tough choice as there are so many delicious things on the menu. The friendly and excellent service, food and ambiance was perfect. A big thank you to the staff for such an enjoyable evening. Look forward to going back sometime soon. Sue H“

“Awesome bar, great quality food and friendly service. What really tops it off is the atmosphere! The regulars make for alot of fun for a chat, and the dart board + foosball setup is an absolute win.
Particular shoutout to Aryn, the place wouldn't be what it is without her service and company!“

“All arpund, a great dining experience. We visited during the FIFA World Cup when a game was being televised. Yes, it was loud in there, but what a great experience to be part of such a fun event. The food came quickly and our server, Julian, was very attentive. When the entire bar sang along to our national anthem, it was such a fun experience. The service was excellent and fast, despite the restaurant being filled with soccer fans.“

“I went there to see some live music and the atmosphere was fun and the people that work there were friendly. The music scene is great for people who love the blues and the food is really tasty! Awesome tacos!🤩💥“

“Awesome local dive with reasonably priced wings and beer. Great venue for to watch sports and they've got a really detailed menu with burgers, dumplings, fries, and so many sauces for your wings! To top it off, Shirlleya's an awesome host and bartender.“

“We happened upon this restaurant by a recommendation .....omg....what a diamond of a place... enter through the front door on College Street and wander through to the amazing back patio.....the ambience is unbelievable, you are made to feel so comfortable and at home....our server was Peter who was beyond amazing....if you are looking for a place to go I definitely recommend this place......we are from Ottawa way but will be coming back...totally a 10 out of 10“

“This is our favourite neighborhood pub. Cozy fireplaces in the winter, back patio oasis in the summer. Front patio on nice days for brunch. We eat here whenever we are too lazy to cook or do dishes because the menu has a nice range, the food is good + reasonably priced and the vibes are low-key. They have the BEST wings (with the side of carrots & celery and the chunky proper blue cheese dressing) This place is honestly such a comfort and good for most occasions.“

“You dont come here for the atmosphere but the patio is very nice. Excellent pub food and service. Definitely recommend the onion rings (made in house) and the chicken wings (big and tasty).“

“My fav skewer place in the downtown area. Happy to see them expanding and getting good business

Quality slipped a little -- compared to when they were in the basement -- but they are solid skewers.

The skewer sizes are pretty small, but they give a lot. Total volume is about the same as other locations, but you get a much better surface area to mass ratio on the meats. This makes the skewers more heavily spiced“

“Excellent service. Our waiter MarkB was very pleasant. Made dining a nice experience.“

“Gabbys Danforth.... Rude staff and an even more rude owner... don't bother complaining about anything because you're just going to get cussed at... absolutely appalling behavior... the usual crowd are loud obnoxious and seriously over their limits. I've witnessed tables and chairs falling all over the place on many occasions because people are way too intoxicated to think. The owner acts like he's untouchable and says things like " you're in a bar what do you expect " . I expect to be treated as a paying customer. Never going there again. also... one of the servers is literally always drunk out of her mind... my very first visit she was crying about her ex... and almost every time I ordered wings SHE GOT MY ORDER WRONG....over and over again!! let's just say ive had many free wings and stuff from her as an apology... I gave them a chance. several actually. but after that conversation with the owner.... im done. DO NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!“

“We came out for the weekend to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary and our Server Robyn was the best!!! She was such a delight we went back the next night! 10/10 food. 10/10 service ! Thank you!!“

“Last night we held a celebration in honour of my brother The staff at mcsorleys went well above and beyond to make it a memorable and amazing night thank you so very very much“

“Had a great night out at Axis Gallery & Grill! The highlight of the evening was the live music by Brandon Gregory. His solo acoustic performance was absolutely amazing and created a fantastic atmosphere. Great entertainment, good vibes, and a memorable experience. I would definitely come back for another night of live music!“

“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!“

“Service was fantastic! Food also great! I had pork belly and the husband had the octopus and it was sooo good. Our drink of choice is Hendrix and tonic with lime and the bar tender added a thin slice of cucumber and that was mind blowing to us. Really good and the way we'll have it from now on.
Very good 👍“

“Haven't been in years but a friend suggested the food. I've been back like 3x now the beef dumpz are amazing they haunt my dreams. Quesadilla also delis and the shrimp roll. I will probably try everything eventually. Thanks to Pat and Camile are awesome 😋“

“Came in for the first time and saw a great band. Turns out its their first time here as well. Awesome pub with a great atmosphere and the band, Chairman of the Boards, was an awesome blues surf band loved the music and very talented players. Highly recommend this pub and band! #chairmanoftheboards“

“Do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Tony was a wonderful friend and owner of the bar. Michael the new owner and his wife are beautiful souls. The atmosphere is wonderful and the patrons are wonderful people there and lively. It's a small cozy place where everyone makes you feel accepted and welcomed. I always have a blast“

“Yummy Tummy Bar and Grill is one of our favorite places, and Chef Kumar always makes the experience special. The food is consistently delicious, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with care.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. A wonderful place to enjoy great food and great company!“

“Amazing Vibe to the place..would love going back“

“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“

“This place is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. Whenever I I need a proper meal, this restaurant comes straightaway to my head. fresh and all sorts of food and a large list of dishes.professional crew, and great vibes. In addition to that, the tariff is fair. I sent my friends to this place with great pleasure.“

“If this review was based solely on service, I would give our waiter Jason 5/5. He was so kind, walked us through the menu, and checked in often to make sure we were ok. Only knocking a star off because, being a foodie, the food was just “ok”. It was quality and tasty, but nothing I’d go out of my way for. That being said, Union social is a great place to meet friends for a drink and app after work or to watch a sporting event!“

“Yaz the server is very nice— the chicken wings are super crispy and delicious!! Price is also the bomb!!’ I have been coming here for years! Good place, good vibes, good food!!“

“It’s great so far Good food. Good beer. Great staff. Definitely coming here again“

“Always a good choice, great beer, great friends and great food. What more can you ask for, oh yes and great staff.“

“We stumbled upon Bar Wellington by accident, and we are so happy we did 😊great pint of beer and the food ? Wow, not your typical pub grub we had the mussels and the flavour in the broth was next level, the bugger was juicy and flavoursome and the house fries we excellent to, the place is family friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“The staff is very friendly, good service and real delicious food.“

“Always feel welcomed there...staff are great. Love happy hour and wing night Mondays and Wednesdays. Drinks ane reasonably priced and poured. Ideal local bar on the Danforth“

“Very friendly husband and wife run, decent people, no drug problems, friendly atmosphere though night life there can be a tad loud, don't bring the kids past dinnertime, it being Parkdale it's tamer then alot of other Establishments that serve alcohol. ? I believe you can Celibate Birthday parties, etc.. just give them a heads up on your plans, they will try to accommodate you and yours! Prices are reasonable there's plaza parking limited, Salvation Army store next door just FYI! P.S. Owners do the serving, no waiters.

Parking: A few disabled spots, closest to the west side of lot. Not sure about unreasonable time periods not having a Vehicle I do know the area.

Wheelchair accessibility: Small lip at doorway but Lance has a piece of wood for entering, and most of the people are quite friendly and actually get the door for wheelchair etc....“

“I had my birthday party at Skada Bar and it was fantastic! The manager Cici was so welcoming and accommodating. She decorated and organized the bar just the way I wanted and she provided food for all my guests. It was a super fun night and everyone that came told me what a great party it was. I would definitely recommend Skada Bar for parties and events!“

“You need to go here. Actually.. DON’T! I want to keep it a secret! I want to keep it to myself! But seriously, you’re a fool if you live in the neighbourhood and this isn’t your #1 haunt. Everyone in here is an absolute gem. Drink, eat, sing your heart out, feel safe and loved and welcome. They’re the best.“

“great people amazing food cheap drinks“

“Love this place. Great neighbourhood pub.“
