33 Best Beer Bars in Toronto

“Really loved the atmosphere and service was great. Was of course an expensive meal but that’s not unexpected. We had lemon shrimp on lobster butter risotto, steak frites, lamb pasta dish and steak tartar. We enjoyed all our food immensely.“

“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!“

“Had dinner and watched the oilers game - food was awesome we had nachos and the spicy chicken sandwich. The fries were the best in the city. Best part of our experience was our server Kayla - girl hooked us up with all the dips! So friendly and funny and hospitable.“

“Excellent mixologists. Didn’t love the cocktail menu (too much tequila, mezcal and gin based for my tastes), but pleased that everything I ordered was well balanced and not too sweet. Food was fantastic. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, but not that attentive on a Fri night. I shouldn’t have to go out of my way to catch someone’s attention to order another drink, my glass was empty for a while. Overall a fun place“

“*Price reflects a meal with a bottle of wine. Reasonable $$$ for good food & wine.

“Love this place good beer and good service“

“In town for a few days and decided to grab a few beers and some food. The beer list is extensive and impressive, the happy hour specials were great, and the Queen Bee pizza was even better than I was expecting. I can't remember the server's name but she was awesome too. Five stars all day long.“

“Our first time there on a Saturday night for dinner. The restaurant was empty & the music was blaring like a nightclub. We had to ask the server to lower the volume 3 times & it was still so loud that we could barely hear each other speak. We sat close to the back where the speakers are located.
The Server was enthusiastic & offered many suggestions.
The food we ordered was all good. We had the Peri Peri Chicken, Bharve Golgappe & Chicken Biryani.

Dietary restrictions: They were able to safely serve a nut & shellfish allergy.“

“We’ve been to Now & Later a few times for birthdays and farewells, and it’s always a great experience. The place is cozy and inviting, with the option to book it for private parties after a certain hour. The two bartenders are professional and friendly, and the vibe is perfect for a relaxed gathering.“

“Fantastic……………………………………..“

“Casual, friendly, good service.“

“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!“

“Had a great experience at blue bovine stopped by the bar to check it out and my bartender Jason Forgie gave me a fantastic experience, ended up staying for a couple drinks (all the cocktails were great),amazing atmosphere and excellent service from Jason, I would highly recommend.“
