30 Best Craft Breweries in Toronto

“We hosted our holiday social event at this venue and had a fantastic experience. The space was great, well laid out, and reasonably priced. Being able to bring our own food was a big plus. The on-site staff did an amazing job and were incredibly helpful, making sure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend for company events and gatherings!“

“Good beer, nice talking with staff“

“Great vibe and people! Fantastic beer!! You will not be disappointed!! 🍻“

“Better half and cherry tree beers have got to be one of the best beers I have ever had. Be careful as they are quite strong at 11.5 and 8.5% ABV but they taste SO Good.

Maybe one, possibly two after work has been quite a delight. I find myself excited to come home, drink(and savour) a few before bed.

100% going to get more when I return to Toronto.“

“great beer and lovely place.“

“A chill and cozy spot that I often visit with friends.
Beers are served in small mugs starting at $5, which makes it easy and fun to try different flavors—I actually prefer this size.
Drinks are ordered at the bar counter, and customers find their own seats. The staff service is neither particularly good nor bad—just average.
Inside, they sell snacks like nuts and chips, and there’s usually a food pop-up as well. However, the pop-up can sometimes be closed or sold out depending on the time or season, so if you’re hungry, you might need to head elsewhere for food.
It’s the perfect place to enjoy a drink on the patio during warm weather, or to take a relaxing break during the Christmas market season.“

“I came in yesterday, there was this unprecedented party of people that showed up unannounced and had taken over the brewery common space. But the manager went out of their way to make it work for our party of people. Saved our Saturday and had some of the best beer in Toronto.“

“Have visited this spot twice now, and will make it a regular stop on my trips to Toronto. I was lucky enough to be served by Erica both times, who was knowledgable and enthusiastic about their impressive draft list!“

“Really cool space with a great selection of beer. Looking forward to seeing the larger space but would defineitly be back again if ever in Toronto.“

“Mascot Brewery, Mascot Brewery...“

“Great beer and ambience inside and out“

“Great day at Henderson. Aidan and team were really helpful and fun…bought us a round as well. Tons of Rush themed beer merch too.“

“Incredibly skilled brewing team with amazing balance of unique flavours. A MUST stop when you are in Toronto.“

“Great food and 🍻 fun atmosphere“

“We searched for weeks to find the perfect wedding venue and the moment we met with Susannah from Bellwoods Brewery, we knew we found it! The staff, food and atmosphere was incredible. It was truly everything we wanted for our wedding and more. We will remember this night forever!“

“great pace to grab some fresh, local beer.“

“A nice pub with great beer and a fantastic atmosphere, though it can get a bit noisy. It’s great that, besides beer, you can grab something to eat and even pick up some small snacks. Toronto could definitely use more places like this—it feels much more relaxed and carefree than a typical pub or bar.“

“Great ambiance, tasty food and speedy service.The staff is attentive but not pushy.The food menu is diverse but not overwhelming, with interesting flavour combinations.And the drink list is extensive, and includes their own house made beers.“

“what a delicious beer! such a pure flavor, so precise in the descriptio in addition to an excellent, creative and elegantly extravagant presentation, It shows and it is appreciated that they make beer with a lot of love“

“Great Ambience, Awesome Food, Great staff!“

“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.“

“In Nova Scotia, and just had their 2019 Balam. Easily the best beer I have had, the rich chocolate, the sweet bourbon, and the smooth toffee with the boozy hit, just magical. I wish there is more coming out of this in the coming years, and to get myself to Ontario to enjoy their beer in person.“

“We arrived at Radical as part of our brewery crawl and were delighted to find a bar full of Creed fans, we sang, danced and drank with a truly merry bunch. Our bartender Ashley was amazing and treated us with first class service, what a blast, can't wait to visit again someday“

“We had a great time!! Service was good…Beer was great!!“

“Update Feb 2026: Edited this review as had a very good experience with a server last week. She was kind, attentive, super fast - it really depends here who you get. The beer and food were decent, too. Not the service of 20 years ago, as its inconsistent now I find, but the place is trying.

Jan 2024: Disappointing to see standards of service fall here. Had another poor experience here yesterday. Server didn't bring menus, or the water asked for, or check to notice that the wings didn't have sauce on them when brought out, or care that the fries were cold, that the wings were lukewarm, or that the cutlery was missing. At least I knew where the condiments were kept, so I could get them myself. Beer's still good, but sheesh, it's good at a lot of places now. Cmon. Standards have fallen.

“Was so glad to get a “Sunday Roast”. And neat to try an instagram famous spot. One of my dining companions however counted more than 5 roasts being served—but maybe that’s a misnomer advertised on the socials.

Fun to try the different cola. As an avid Diet Coke drinker, this was nice to be forced to try something out of my comfort zone, but close!

Nice bright atmosphere. Shared long harvest table type seating worked out surprisingly well.

Personally I wouldn’t order the pork again as it was quite fatty and messy to eat especially when trying to share it family style…but to be fair I was invited by a friend that really wanted to try it!“

“We hosted a team party here. The ease to book and pre-order food was incredible. The food was really good (plentiful), the people were great at handling a large group, and it's a cool space. Have been before and will go again. Also, there are more options than beer if you have anyone in your group (wine, spirits available)“

“The best beer in the town“

“Great beer selection and a fantastic breakfast sandwich!“

“The Amsterdam Brewhouse is located along the Lake Ontario Waterfront at Queen's Quay West. They have a large indoor and outdoor seating area and are open from 11am to late (weekdays) and 10am to late (weekends). Menu features the Amsterdam Brewery label draught beers along with a fairly typical bar food menu. We visited recently during a warm weekend afternoon and were able to be seated immediately. Blonde Lager tasted just fine, artichoke dip was pretty good as well. Prices are a bit high but we found food and drink quality to be fair enough, food portion sizes are good. Venue is quite fun and views of the lake are great. Amsterdam Brewhouse is a fun place, we'd be happy to pop in again during future walks along the waterfront.“
