Coming from out of town, we randomly came across this pub and decided to get a late lunch/early dinner. Service was great, the waitress was very attentive and friendly. We asked for non alcohol drinks. Ran out of Ice Tea. OK, this happens. The food was not very good, tasteless meatballs (frozen perhaps microwaved). Chicken tenders were ok, but again frozen and no wow. Sauce tasted off. So, I asked for extra ketchup. 2 small packets were brought, and we were told there wasn't any more as the restaurant ran out. (How does a restaurant run out of Ketchup? Especially with a grocery store at the corner or a dollar store across the street) I think we expected more from the kitchen.

Absolutely, let’s turn up the heat and call out that behavior directly:
Our group of 15 made a reservation hours in advance, and instead of being greeted with even a shred of decency, the BOH manager decided to berate us like we’d committed some unspeakable crime by showing up. They yelled at us, loudly, in front of everyone, claiming it “wasn’t cool” that we came in late at night. Sorry, what? We booked ahead. We came ready to spend money. And we’re the problem?
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t someone having an off day. This was bullying, plain and simple. This manager went out of their way to make us feel unwelcome, embarrassed, and uncomfortable. It’s the kind of unprofessional, abusive behavior that ruins not just a night out, but the reputation of an entire business.
This bar is a joke. Easily the worst Firkin in the city. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone unless you’re in the mood to be humiliated by someone who clearly has no business working in hospitality.

Great place in the neighbourhood. Close to the subway. Patio in the summer. Chill vibes. Nice peer customers.
Familiar Firkin menu. Has all your pub favourites. Also prompt and delicious service. Thank you kitchen!
Tater tots. My life is tater tots and I love subbing them in on everything! They do them well here!
Daniel, our bartender tonight, is an absolute stellar human. I watched this man efficiently hustle to manage a half full bar, solo, without missing a beat, all while being friendly and professional. Thank you!!

Kevin the manager was very pleasant and accommodating. He provided us with a separate party room for our group of 12 with a large tv to watch the football game. Megan our server was friendly and outgoing, she made sure we had all of our food and drinks and consistently checked in on us. Overall fantastic experience and we will all be back!

This is the best place to have a pre or after party if you are going to the Coal Mine theater. The staff is amazing. You might have a very good conversation if you really want. Their manager Kevin is super nice. Highly recommended!

Restaurant had 1 server running around, but after the HOUR wait for bacon and eggs, food came out cold and nothing was said about the extremely long wait. As a whole restaurant was not super clean, as well. This was the second time I have given this place a shot as I recently moved close to here, and last time the place was ALSO a disappointment with again SLOW service and cold food.

Place was empty but the service was slow. Server took the kids order and forgot about the adults. As a result, the kids were done when our food arrived. I had to ask if we could eat something from the regular menu as opposed to brunch. Food was average, they seemed to be out of a lot of ingredients. Guy on a table beside us had to return the beer as it was warm. Bathroom hasn’t been cleaned in ages. Definitely do not recommend.
Jacob, Kevin, Aaron, and Kevin were such a delight! This location has the best burger on the East End - up there with Rudy! I suggest the Firkin Burger!!
Kid-friendliness: Free kids meals with purchase of meal on the weekend! Nice!
Wheelchair accessibility: Only one floor with a handicap accessible bathroom!

Probably still there because the lease isn't up. Terminally empty. Cavanous space makes it depressing, fake UK decor with no atmosphere. Since there is nothing around that area a few people have no choice but to try it. When coal mine theatre empties 150 people on the street right by you and they would rather walk past coxwell to go out, you know something isn't working.

For the staff and customers alike: AMAZING! If you want a quality breakfast, for a reasonable price, this is it. OMG! I came here, this past Sunday, for the first time in maybe 4 years?

Stopped in for a pint, the bartender is just so gracious and flamboyant and kept me entertained. She convinced me to try one of her cocktails, and I wound up skipping my beach day to hang out and day drink with this genuinely beautiful person.

I love the firkin burger here. Recently I've started coming on Saturdays for the D.J. night. The turn out isn't always the best, but the D.J. always caters to the customers' requests, and the staff are super friendly and fun to chat with. I give 5 stars for the effort.
