“If you want a fun night out with friends go on Wednesday Night for trivia with Jess. She is an amazing trivia host and will have you laughing all night. I promise you won’t be disappointed with the drinks or entertainment at Black Lab Brewing.“
“I came here last night with a large group, and came to really enjoy the space here. It's a cozy, well put together brewery in the area, with a grest selection of drinks and very friendly staff. I'm not used to smaller arrangements like this business, but the space all in all is very accomodating.“
“I have placed two orders from the website. It’s not like being in the brewery, for sure. That said, it’s a good website, easy to navigate, and a good selection of all the good beer. I was also pleased with the delivery; on time, just what I ordered. I even had Susan deliver one of the orders.I miss my weekly tap, but until the return to TO (I hope), the website and the delivery will work for me. Thank you, Rob“
“It is one of the best breweries in Toronto, no doubt! The interior design is attractive, and the server's suggestions were excellent. There's not much choice on the food menu, though, small portions but good-quality bites. Overall, it's a cool place to hang out.“
“The best brewery in Ontario by far, and one of the few that produces a lot of Belgian style beers… enough said!! Dave is such a friendly guy and amazing to talk to. Be sure to drop by and chat with him at the bar, or at the very least order as if there was no tomorrow!!!“
“I remember Pioneer Village very well! I was a child when I went with my class. I am now 62. It was a crazy thing we discovered! While sitting under a tree, I saw a piece of plastic and pulled it out of the ground. It was filled with 50 cent pieces. Of course, I was excited and told the other children. We all started pulling up bags of coins. The teacher at the time caught us and let the staff know. We had to give all the coins back. I wonder where it came from and if it was ever written about. Crazy!“
“The beer was great, the food we ordered was nice and flavourful. The atmosphere was great. They seemed understaffed, so while the team was doing their best it could have been better if they had the staff they needed.Kid-friendliness: Our kids loved the mac n cheese, they had one high chair. No kids menu or anything, but they accommodated us. There are stairs to get in, but once inside there was room for a stroller.“
“One of my favourite bars in the city! Unassuming and easy to miss if walking by, but definitely worth a stop.They have a ton of beers on tap along with a good selection of cocktails and other craft cans/bottles. They have 3 pool tables which are pay by the minute and usually has a long wait on weekend evening, but aside from that they're usually available.While I mostly come here for drinks a pool, their food is delicious too! Typical items you'd expect from a pub menu but executed at a step above most others.Love the cozy environment, ample seating along with a fire place for those colder winter nights. Service is always friendly and attentive.Definitely a great date spot or to have some drinks with friends.Highly recommend!“
“Went for a drink with a friend and sat at the bar. I was lucky enough to be there on trivia Tuesday. Very lively crowd with many teams participating. The drinks menu had some very cool beer names, including a throwback to Volo cafe (any one remember Volo on Yonge around Gerard)? Also one beer had a hint of banana. I had it and it was really good. Looks like they have a glass garage door that opens up to an outdoor patio. Good vibes at this place.“
“Super friendly staff great beer. Showed up with a group of 12 and they managed to find us a great spot in the back corner with all the brewery equipment. Was a pretty cool spot. We will definitely make this part of our next pub crawl in the east end.“
“Stop in time to time after work for a pint. Beers always crisp and fresh. Food is absolutely wicked (recommend the sliders) and the service is unreal. Every bar tender is incredibly kind and super fast with service. Dash in particular definently stands out with amazing customer service. 10 /10“
“For those who like a good pub with its own beer production, good food, good location and accessibility ♿️ this is definitely the right place.Granite is very well located on Avenida Egliton, close to many shops, private parking, public parking and the metro station.The brewery has an outdoor area for the spring and summer periods, a bar lounge area, and an indoor area with a fireplace.Local production takes place right there at the brewery, and you can see the boilers when you go to the washrooms.Speaking of accessibility: the house has an accessible entrance with a spring door, but without automatic activation (which makes it difficult for wheelchair users, users of crutches or walkers to enter. They have an adapted bathroom with support bars and spring doors (the bathroom door it also requires automatic opening). All the sink taps are automatic and so is the waste disposal container. They have no internal steps and the tables are spacious for aligning supports for walking.I asked the restaurant when the menu was in Braille, but the attendant couldn't answer me, so the person I was with needed my help with the order.The service at the house is very pleasant, but now at the end of the year, everything is very busy and it may take a while for you to be served at the table.They have their own store, with souvenir items and beers to take home or as a gift.The menu is wonderful and the fish and cheaps is certainly one of the best I've ever tasted.For those thinking of going with children, the restaurant has seats for older children and high chairs for younger ones, as well as a children's menu for lunch and brunch.It's really worth visiting, especially since the beers are great.Vegetarian options: They have a menu with snacks without the addition of animal products, as well as salads, pasta and portions of cheese, fries and onions.Parking: Parking lots are public parking lots on the street, where you need to park your car in a space and enter the amount of time you will stay. If it passes, you need to update the application. They also have covered parking in some buildings in the region and cost on average 15 dollars an hourKid-friendliness: They have a menu for children, both for lunch and brunch. And they have a seat adapted for older children and a high chair for babies.Wheelchair accessibility: They have adapted bathrooms with support bars, no internal or external steps, tables that accommodate wheelchairs and other items to support mobility. Doors use springs, I don't try to activate them automatically“
“Incredibly lovely staff and as good as everyone says!Came by before a show for some fries and beer, and had to be in and out within 20 minutes (poor planning on my part).The servers were so helpful and accommodating! Fries were super delicious, and I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu and beers :)“
“Excellent beers. The addition of woodhouse further expands a solid selection. Great ambiance - high ceilings, open concept.If visiting when kitchen is closed - I highly recommend Juniors Pizza. They are local, deliver and their pies reign supreme! Brewery staff are fine with ordering food in. Lots of space on big tables. Cheers!“
“We have always loved Steam Whistle beer and felt they were the best Pilsner you can buy, and visiting the round house will make a believer out of anyone else. Taking the tour from Kenny was a standout highlight. Kenny really cares about the brand, product, building (and bottles) and by the end of the tour you will too.“
“One of the more solid (and I believe older) breweries in the city, located in a very busy part of town..Fairly large, wide ranging beer menu. Prices are on the higher side, especially considering some come in only 12oz pints. Every beer we tried was crisp and delicious. Sampled a few of the food items as well - above average quality on some regular favorites.Staff have always been a bit indifferent here when I've visited. Never outgoing or overly positive, but never rude either. Average at best but when you are busy all the time, do you need to be anything more?Wouldn't be my first go-to for a brewery in Toronto but it's certainly well regarded for good reason.“
“Their beers are amazing, but service is incredibly slow! We’ve been 3 times and it’s just always slow. Today we came in for a beer, waited (I kid you not) 25 minutes before someone FINALLY came by and took our order. Unbelievable. We will only come back if we have a ton of time. This isn’t a place where you can be in and out in an hour. Restaurant was 60% capacity. Servers were unorganized. I dunno. Just disappointed because we love the beer which is not cheap.“
“Had such an amazing time celebrating my brothers birthday here. Staff were attentive, beyond pleasant, and accommodating. Special acknowledgement of Shake who from the moment we walked in had smile, made himself available and was truly a joy to be around. Thanks for a beautiful experience and fabulous customer service.“
“Great beer. Nice place. Friendly staff. They host good events, big and small.Usually this place is open on civic holidays. Long weekend and you ran out of beer? They got you covered, and sell decent frozen pizzas to boot.On the way home from Pearson and you took the UP to Dundas West station? Stop by here on the way home.“
“Terrific brewery with amazing food and beer. First timer here and was super impressed. Large selection of beers that will meet the needs of any style of beer drinker. The 6 cans pictured are only part of the selection. Pizza was beautiful and reminded me of Italy.Kianna provided great service! Thank you.“
“What a fun place for a party! Attended an event in their lower level this weekend and had blast. Collective Arts make their own wonderful brews and artisan gin. The drinks were delicious and the food was great. There is also a patio for warmer weather.“
“Wow wrvt sausage, lots of Gluten Free options, salad, duck fat fries (didn't ask about the deep fryer)Amazing food and drinks!Went opening weekend and was UBER impressed how seamless the experience was. Thrilled at the decent price for Norm Hardy wine. Decent selection of food for someone Gluten Free. I can't wait for the cider on tap to arrive!Welcome to the hood. We've been waiting for you.“
“Honestly, I really enjoyed this place. We came early, around 6pm and were able to get a table no problem. The beer options are limited, but different from each other. I got a flight to try multiple! I prefer sweeter, so the sour or the mango/tropical drinks weren't my favourite, but that's a personal preference. They have a nice good IPA as well. The food was really good too! Be warned, some portions can be a lot for one or two people, depending on what you get, so make sure to ask. I 1000% recommend the cheese curds, they were amazing. Shout out to all the staff for being quick to clear empty plates and glasses, and to our server, who was so patient with us and on top of everything.“
“The atmosphere is great for an after work chit chat with your colleagues or with friends! I also recommend the French Dip sandwich, it tastes great, however the burgers are average.Ellen is a perfect server! She was caring and professional.Parking: Green P Parking“
“I photographed a wedding here last year and really enjoyed it! The staff and food was excellent, and the brewery has so many creative photography areas. Loved being able to go back to where the beer is made for a first look. I'm excited to return! ig @lovingcorephoto“
“The brew is great and the service, other than the initial seating, very attentive. The food, however, despite looking great lacked taste. The gravy for the poutine was bland and the pork belly unsalted. The one item that was great were the honey lime and dill wings. Will get them again anytime.“
“The beer was great! Angie was a phenomenal help with describing the beers, even offering personal anecdotes to accompany her favorites.The food was delicious and served promptly even considering the building was 80% filled.The staff was amazing all around, even under busy circumstances.I highly recommend the beers, the food and the atmosphere.“
“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.“
“Enjoyed a night out with a friend. The atmosphere was good. The food, drinks and service were all good. A neighborhood staple that I would recommend. Our server took the time to explain the different brews which my friend appreciated. I asked for a "girly drink" which was very good.“
“Came here last night before heading to a concert and it was a great decision. Service was fast and friendly, while the food hit the spot. We asked our server for recommendations and he recommended the schnitzel and the brew house burger. Both were good, but my personal favourite was the schnitzel as it came with some yummy spatzle. Would definitely come back here for chill vibes as we didn't feel rushed.“
“Take out experience was great! Friendly hostess and not a bad wait with poker, baseball, and CP24 on in the bar. Got the Brisket Sandwich.Sandwich was incredible, with excellent, crunchy coleslaw. Bun was toasted, which added a great crunchy bite, and perfectly buttery.Fries were great, with tasty seasoning.Included beans were pretty standard and a bit sweet.Pricy!Wheelchair accessibility: There is an automatic door, didn’t notice a step…“
“I've been here multiple times and the food, vibes and service is really good.They have a lot of food options and most of them tastes amazing except fish & chips.A lot of beers options. You can order a few beers to taste and get the one you like the most. Must try big wheel & Amsterdam blonde.If you get a table outside in the patio area just next to the lake then it's amazing to drink beer in the summer.The staff is friendly and very helpful in giving suggestions.“
“An awesome brewery with great beer, their core beers are always consistent and delicious, their new beers are always interesting and well brewed... The Blackburn Imperial Stout is one of the best around in my opinion especially the Rum barrel and bourbon barrel versions that have been released over the last few years.One of my go to breweries.“
