Not bad for big tourist orineted place. Nice location good beer selectio with one or two seasonals. Food is basic but well made. Service is hit and miss (often overworked)

Very straight forward pedestrian food & beer. Had the vanilla porter on draught, tasted young and immature. Perhaps I just like full bodied, robust porters...? Nothing special.

What a grea spot. Packed on a Wednesday night. Great food, great beer. Nothing to complain about at all!

Really cool big building with nice outdoor seating areas. Food is decent, but the beers I sampled all seemed middle of the road. Nothing too flavorful or unique. Service was quick and friendly, definitely worth a visit.

We have been here a number of times now. The beers are generally decent, but have declined slightly in quality from their prime a couple of years ago. The atmosphere is quite nice and fits in nicely with the Distillery district. TV is generally unobtrusive but makes for a lively spot to watch a big game. The high top seating area in front of the bar can get very crowded, and a bit claustrophobic if like me you don’t like sitting so close to your neighbours. The booths and tables are nicer. The food is generally pretty good, prices range from reasonable to pricey. Generally speaking its pub grub with dreams of being fancier than it ends up being. I like it, but it’s hard to describe – the food often feels like something that was aiming to be fantastic, and ends up just being good. Staff is generally friendly and attentive. Their beer knowledge varies from lots to very little. If you are coming from out of town to see the distillery, it is well worth a stop for lunch and some drinks. If you are have limited time in town, there are other beer bars closer to downtown that should be your priorities.

The food is overprized and nothing special about it. We all four got satisfied but not overwhelming happy. The beers- if you take in the flights you can try them, otherwise the staff was not too helpful.. Some of the tested beers where just funny som where OK but there was no one that stood out. A nice place to go and it is very genuine.

This is a nice brewpub in a great setting in Toronto’s Distillery District. They have a good selection of their own beers on tap, including a large number of seasonals not available in bottles. Bottles are available from their shop. The food is decent, typical pub fare. They offer a good tour of their brewery facility.

Located in the beautiful distillery district, this is a large and friendly place, mixing well the old industrial building, the brewery and the eating area. Didnt eat there, but looking at the menu, its more like upscale pub grub. 4 six on. samples for 7$ but you do not get to choose.

Bonne ambiance, grand, bonne bière. Vu sur la fabrication. Le quartier des distillerie est intéressant et plaisant à marcher. Un must quand on passe à Toronto.

Had another wonderful evening here on my most recent visit to the city. VIBE: a spacious bar and restaurant area greet you at the door, seating accommodates groups of two, four, or larger. At this time of year there’s Christmas lights dangling throughout the establishment, which adds a bit of cheer to the atmosphere. Crowd is a diverse mix of young couples, beer geeks, older folks, tourists, and locals. The number of wine drinkers suggests that people actually come here for something other than the beer! SERVICE: just okay. Our waitress seemed busy and distracted, she might’ve had too many tables. Nevertheless, the food arrived quickly. We got our drinks in reasonable time by grabbing the attention of other servers. SELECTION: this being a brewpub, the beer list is all of Mill Street’s offerings. I tried the Roggenbier, ESB, and Helles Bock, the latter of which I had to settle for because the waitress told me - erroneously - that the Weizenbock was not available. I enjoyed all three beers and my girlfriend found a wine of her liking. FOOD: excellent quality. With such a large menu you’d figure something would suck, but all of our stuff was very tasty. I’d recommend the Coffee Porter ribs, good smokiness and spice, drenched in BBQ sauce, with a bit of slaw on the side. OVERALL: based on this last visit, we will definitely come back to Mill Street on future trips to Toronto. Despite the mediocre service, this brewpub has a great vibe, awesome beer and food, and solid value. A gem on the T.O. beer scene.
