50 Best Pubs near York

“everything is beautiful 💜🥂🍾✝️“

“The french fries are to die for, truly - but the real spark here is the incredible friendless of the staff, the owner and also the patrons! If we lived closer we’d make it our own local, so welcoming and fun!“

“I have been going to ID love for some time now. One thing I can tell you is that the food is phenomenal! We ordered nwkobi, jollof rice, plantain and fried yam and it was delicious! We met the owner who was kind and interactive. The only thing I would change is the lighting as the restaurant is dimly lit and it's a bit difficult to see your food. Also some background music would be ideal as well. Overall, food was amazing.“

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

“Fantastic experience at The Old York Tavern. I had never been, but my cousin recommended it and will 💯 be back. One of the best brunch patios I’ve been on, ever. Situated in more of a residential area, you are not getting the overstimulating hustle and bustle vibe of the city but more of a chill and quaint small town. The polarizing view of the CN tower was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed the lobster Benedict and the French toast. Top notch!“

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

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

“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!).“

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

“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!“

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

“Best pub in Toronto and it's not close - from the top down, incredible people with great food/drink. Best bartender/host/server/everything in Lauren, can't say enough nice things about how fantastic she is! She always makes it a fantastic experience - as does everyone here - but far and away the best service in the city. All fantastic and deserve so much more attention as a great pub that's run by the best people around!“

“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.“

“I had such a great experience at Koochini Shisha Bar! The atmosphere was vibrant, the music set the perfect mood, and the shisha quality was excellent with smooth flavors and great variety.
But what truly made the night special was Reyhaneh’s service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect for us from start to finish. Her positive energy and professionalism really stood out.
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun, relaxing night out — and definitely ask for Reyhaneh!“

“So happy to see the seasonal pesto burrata back on the menu. It was simply delicious with the added touch of pickled wild leeks (ramps)on top. Wow! What a nice detail. And I was told they pickle them there. In addition, the sourdough bread is amazing! Thanks guys....we'll be back“

“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“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“great service.. amazing place 🍸“

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

“Yes 110%, perfect to be your local!“

“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“

“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.🎶👍“

“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 place. Wonderful staff, amazing owner.“

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

“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 .“

“Great pub, beautiful bar, good beer selection and the Crunchy chicken sandwich was delicious. We were served by Marley who was so lovely, and checked on us often even though we were out on the patio. Live music on a Saturday night is always a win!!“

“The Mezz is a great place to have a drink with friends. Gabe (bartender) was really nice and the service was amazing. I went on Jan 25 when the snowstorm hit so the kitchen was closed, but the drinks were great (cranberry juice with vodka is amazing). Staff were very kind and supportive when a man was bothering me, and I would definitely recommend this place for women who are alone (or anyone, really)!

I’ve had bad experiences at bars so I’m grateful for the great service here. Will definitely be back.“

“I know they open very early for the amazing breakfast menu, but my only disappointment is that the kitchen closes too soon at night. Maybe they should announce last call for food like they do for alcohol as 1030pm seems very early when people need to absorb the drinks while enjoying the amazing LIVE local talent on Saturday nights. 10/10 for Mark, Reno & the Chefs :)“

“I'm from Mississauga but was in the Vaughan area this evening. Did a google search of nearby sports bars and The Mills Taphouse & Grill came up in my search. I quickly checked their online menu and decided to go there. Had some great food and awesome, friendly service from Melissa. Looks like an awesome place to catch a Leafs or Raptors game in future and this great first impresion will definitely bring me back. 👍👍“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“One of the best little patios, hidden away in the back. Love the Grilled Cheese and the home fries. They also have a great selection of beers 🍻 I've been coming to Rebel House for well over 17 years and am always very happy with the service, the food and the atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“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 🙂🙂“

“went last night. great food, service and atmosphere. maybe a bigger portion of sweet potato fries and maybe more fish. apart from that very good. manageress very friendly.“
