Belle sélection dans tous les styles, incluant les sour. Quelques bouteilles intéressantes mais hors de prix comme la utopias. Le menu offre la bouffe de pub et des assiettes un peu plus complète avec des propositions d’agencement bières/mets. Un peu trop aristo-pub pour moi, sinon excellente adresse.

Visited twice within a short period of time, weekend brunch and weekday lunch, both for meals and beers. Adequate service, very tasty food and reasonably priced, and great draught selection. If you’re looking for a dark and moody pub, this isn’t it.

Pretty good food and beer list with locals though it’s expensive for what it is. French bistro in a office building kind of vibe, slightly sterile though safe for business. Very good service from the bartender who was knowledgable about local brews. With Canada’s unfortunate protectionist laws an American living in a city with a lot of good beer could be bored...but if you have an expense account this is a good opportunity to revisit some classics (flight of Rocheforts thank you!) or give the local scene some monetary encouragement.

One of top three beer bars in Toronto. Flights available, and frittes are very nicely presented. Bartenders are hands down the best in the city.

Food was great at this place and the beer menu is good. Lots of imported taps, and some interesting ones at that. Service had a bad attitude but whatever, I don’t go to bars to be fawned over. A lot of different price ranges on teh beers. There’s some good deals to be found in everything.

The space is severely dated. 1989 anyone? Food is good, beer selection nice. Service a little one dimensional, bartender tried to tell me Dieu Du Ciel is only available at Beer Bistro. Laughable.

Combination of tap room /bar and resturant. Really good beer selection. Food was excellent. High end prices and food. Tried 10 beers, all drafts, very nice mix, some German imports some Belgians and Canadian micros. Great place, really sharp interior to resturant.

Nice spot if in Toronto. Slightly overprice but caters to the Bay Street financial crowd

Great beer selection which is always changing. This includes a special cellar selection. Many Belgium, German, American and Canadian beers (among others). The beer prices are a little high but they are everywhere in Toronto. The place is 1/2 restaurant and 1/2 pub. The food was OK; appetizers, pizza’s, mussels and misc. other items. I ordered the mussels which were OK (not nearly as good as in Belgium). Good, friendly service. Total bill including 3 beers was $48.00 after tip.

It doesn’t get better than this in Toronto when it comes to selection. This place has a massive selection of amazing beers from the US and the rest of the world. I’ve gotten many of my most-wanted-but-hard-to-find beers from here. An impressive vintages menu, unfortunately most of what I to try is out of stock. Great atmosphere and a knowledgeable staff. Food is good too!
