50 Best Pubs in Toronto

“went for the first time after the jays game. it was fantastic“

“My favourite spot in the city! Love the food, the team and the atmosphere ❤️ ordering the wrong thing is impossible!! happy hour oysters and fries always hits and you cannot go wrong with the burger, salad lyonnaise, steak, lamb, boccarones or chocolate mousse ;)“

“It’s better then KFC Cheese stick OMG🤤best I’ve ever had The spicy 🌶️ pastas ou 😋 So I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A lovely place to relax and enjoy great food. Excellent service - fully recommend visiting here. We will definitely be back x“

“On Saturday night, after my daughter had an unsettling experience with an Uber driver, she ended her trip early and got out at the Mugshot Tavern. From the moment she walked in, the staff treated her with kindness, warmth, and genuine care. They made sure she felt safe and comfortable until I arrived. In what was a stressful and frightening moment for her, the team at Mugshot Tavern showed what it means to be good people. I’m deeply grateful for their compassion and quick action. The world needs more places like this where people look out for each other, even when they don’t have to. Thank you, Mugshot Tavern.“

“Amazing selection of whiskey, wonderful friendly staff, good food (with plenty of veg friendly options!).“

“One of the best steaks I have ever tried! Oh, and one of few places in Toronto that play great music. Service is quick and personable. Great place!“

“Love this place! Casual low-key vibe… right up my alley!“

“Great staff, you feel so welcomed each and every time you're there. They really make it a comfortable sociable atmosphere.“

“Located within walking distance to the Royal Ontario Museum and easy to find. Everyone was super friendly, and the food was very good. Prices were fair. I would definitely come again if I am in the area. I had the grilled chicken club med bowl. The chicken was very tender (not dry at all) and the bowl was very light and well proportioned.“

“This is my favorite local pub. superb food, yummy drinks, good vibes, friendly service, good times.“

“Best dive bar in the city“

“10/10 would recommend to a friend! Good vibes, good food, but most of all, fantastic service. Our server, Quianna, was a dream! Super friendly, great attitude, and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Would come back just for her :)“

“We come to the Abbot after most every rehearsal, and can always count on fast and friendly service. They're always accommodating with our group.🎶👍“

“Finding high quality comfort food unique to everything else out there is hard to find. So glad to have found Lima Charlies while out one night. We've tried many dishes since with favourites being the buffalo chicken wrap, buffalo pizza and burger of course.
Enjoyed the newer 'tater tots' the other night along with the sliders for happy hour!! Hope you guys will do brunch one day :)“

“The service is excellent and waitstaff are very good and very friendly. Some of the food items though are not that great. I had the nachos one time, and wanted to order them with ground beef instead of chicken. When I got it, it was chunks of steak, not ground beef. If they had told me they didn't have ground beef I would have ordered something else. I also asked that they take out the jalapenos as I cannot eat them. It was COVERED with jalapenos and even some hidden in the cheese. I did not enjoy them and ate 1/4 of it. I should have sent it back but I already had substitutions and didn't want to be a trouble customer. At another visit I ordered the bruschetta. This is NOT bruschetta. It is on naan bread, not a traditional bun. Instead of chunks of tomatoes and onions, it was slices of tomato and a couple of slices of onion, and covered in feta cheese. That is not bruschetta, I was highly disappointed. They do have some great menu items, the goulash is outstanding as is the chicken linguine and shrimp pasta. Their onion soup is really good, the onion rings and poutine are also very good. I was just disappointed in the two dishes I had.“

“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.“

“Beer beer beer beer beer 🍺“

“Spacious! Good food! Nice place for a team event!“

“Legit Irish pub in the east end pouring great pints of Guinness.

Came on Friday night at around 8:30pm to kill time while we waited for a table at Oldeseuol Tavern. This place was packed and they had live music. Thankfully we were able to get a seat for 2 in the back.

We ordered Guiness and a side of onion rings. I was expecting a few rings, but was surprised when it came out quite big for $5!

Highly recommend and can't wait to come back to try their food next time.“

“Best EVER! Cheap drinks...and John....mmmm.“

“the auld spot is my go to on the danforth. i love the servers and the owner and the chef rob. the food is good and the cocktail , wine list , and craft beers are exceptional. there are also daily specials and in the summer they have a patio. just an easy friendly neighborhood place. the place is always full which speaks for the quality of the food and place“

“This is my favourite pub in Toronto as it has the best selection of beers, great food and volumes in which you can have a proper conversation!
And as an Ed Sheeran fan, Alecia always makes sure we get some Ed songs on the playlist 😆

Alecia, Amy and Alan are the best and they always look out for you when you’re here!

I’d recommend Kasteel Rubus as the first beer you order and do try the Schnitzel“

“Spent a few hours there, just got home, i havent been this relaxed in a very long time :) Met some AWESOME People there, will be going back this Friday for Karaoke :P“

“great service.. amazing place 🍸“

“Great place. Wonderful staff, amazing owner.“

“Came here for food and drinks with friends. Ordered nearly the entire dessert menu plus a margarita pizza (a wood fire style oven deserved trying). The drinks and all the desserts were great, however the pizza fell flat. The cheese was VERY thin and used sparingly which made the pizza something that can easily be missed. Would come back just for drinks and dessert.“

“Decent overall. Server wasn’t very friendly. Bathroom was super cramped, you literally open the door to someone peeing and half exposed to the hallway and without room to walk by to the sink to wash or to use a stall. Beer was good though and the patio was awesome!“

“Love this place! A community hangout! Great live local music!“

“The live bands and sound system are awesome. It's not easy to get a 10-member band on that stage, but no matter the band, they're always engaging. The service is fantastic, and I love the convenience of tall stools, table, and hooks for coats and handbags around the column near the stage. I also love the patrons, lighting, and parking. Great venue.“

“Amazing staff and the best food on kingston“

“Superb. Garlic allergy no problem Staff listened an adapted menu so I could eat. Amazing salad with beets, goats cheese chicken and pecans. Highly recommend. Bonus as baseball was on .“

“Affordable prices, laid back atmosphere. The only inconvenience was that there is only one pool table, and regular customers take over for hours without sharing the table even when when they go for a smoke.“

“Great food and beer selection. Comfortable surroundings and attentive staff. Summer patio is much sought after and worth the wait. As a vegetarian, I always ask for substitions and have always been happy with the chef's inventions. One of the best on the Yonge Street beat.
Updating post pandemic. Thanksgiving weekend the patio was still open but quiet. Still the same comfortable feel to the place.“

“Some items are a bit on the spicy side but fair prices.“

“Go-to spot!!

I come here quite often and enjoy my experience every time. Larissa goes above and beyond every time and takes good care of us. The food and drinks are delicious too and reasonably priced. Will continue coming back!!“

“Great wings, friendly staff and customers“

“Great local pub ,for all occasions ,go there for all soccer games ,and the banter ,and the staff are amazing , and the food is great and very affordable ....great M.“

“Worst wings I have ever had. Old and dry my guess they were leftovers from Superbowl Sunday and I was there on Tuesday.“

“I cannot stress enough how much we love Pour Boy! Such a natural local chill, non pretentious, welcoming space and staff. There was 8 of us and all tables were full at all times! The food and drinks constantly showed up promptly great portions and yummy!!!), and the staff always made time for us, whether to take our orders or have a quick comical chat! Our server was Nee I believe. There was two of them, and they were just fab!!! Looking forward to another visit sometime soon!! Thank you Pour Boy team!!!“

“some of the groups im in have dances there and they love one day i will be going for lunch with freinds“

“Always a great stop. Icy cold beers. Great service. Always a warm greeting when walking through the door.
Food top notch. Today was a chicken club wrap and a Ruben.
Never had such crisp lettuce in a wrap. Ruben was made to perfection.

Fantastic patio out back. Massive. Tvs for watching sports n the like.

Thanks for a fill up after a great day of walking the Roncy area.“

“They don't serve food, just alcohol. They're ok with bringing food, mostly geared to UofT staff and students but they will serve anyone. I drank GSU (the pub's) lager for $5.45 CAD/pint (16oz) it's pretty good and so great in value. Check out the images.“

“great paper plane cocktail 🙂🙂“

“The food is delicious, and it is a restaurant worth bringing family and friends to try.“

“Service was amazing And made our night once we found out our concert was rescheduled“

“The best beer in the town“

“One of my favourite jazz and blue bars in Toronto. I highly recommend going.“

“It’s better then KFC Cheese stick OMG🤤best I’ve ever had The spicy 🌶️ pastas ou 😋 So I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
