Looks like a garage with a few tables and a medium and very woody bar. I am looking forward to the patio, the potential rooftop, and we think more patio out in the back. I hear the food is good but I go for the beers.Every beer was very good, a reasonable or better representation of the style. A Bit out of the way in a hip area, it was worth the trip. Reasonable pricing. Good environment, it was nice to see young couples and their kids about.Very good service,

A brand spanking new addition to the Toronto beer scene. A lovely large space up front. Bright and airy (especially considering it’s a former garage). There are 20 seats upstairs and 20 down. A few tables and a smallish (~8 seat) bar. The majority of the space is the actual brewery which is kitted out with some nice shiny new toys and is easily visible from every part of the interior. The beers are solid and quite unique. The IIPA was my favourite of the lot but none were bad. The food is great too - I like that there are actually reasonably priced snacks in here that show some creativity (4 grilled duck hearts on a skewer with a charred jalapeno oil sauce for 4 bucks). They’ve got a winner on their hands here - can’t wait to see the patio open later on.

Bellwoods is reminiscent of those cool microbreweries on the west coast that operate in an old garage. The decor is spartan, with old farm tables and a nice modern industrial bar. 8 excellent beers on tap, top notch, with 5 Belgian import bottles and 3 ciders, limited yet intriguing menu, with some Asian influence. Brewery is visible in the back, with wood barrels for future projects. The brewery will expend next door next year, and a store which should open on a more regular basis in the next few months. Service was friendly. Samplers are available at 3$ for 4 ounce samples.

Been a few times now. The atmosphere is great, picnic tables and seats at the bar in a small space. Patio is spartan but pleasantly shady in comparison to most, and just about doubles the capacity of the bar. Tap list is good, generally having a solid selection of their house brews in a variety of styles. Bottle list is also pretty impressive but I have never ordered any of them, sticking with the house beers. Food menu is interesting, mix of gourmet snacks and larger meals. What I have tried has been great. Food prices are pretty high for some things. A less gourmet cheese plate option would great, for example. Beer prices are a touch on the high side but generally worth it for the quality. Bottle and growler prices are not bad, but sales are currently infrequent. Look for more frequent sales down the road. Servers are all super friendly and pretty knowledgeable, and will find out the answer if they don’t already know. Overall it is a must visit for out of towners.

This was my favorite stop in Toronto. I know the ratings are pretty solid for this place, but somehow I felt it was underrated. A small place with an outdoor patio (that I almost missed because there is no sign), a garage door that could close off the patio, and a few tables/small bar then all the tanks and brewing equipment (there might be seats upstairs but I didn’t venture up there). Anyway it was packed on a Thursday evening. Top notch beer selection - excellent. They had maybe 8-10 of their own beers (including unique offerings such as berliner weisse, wine barrel aged tripel, single hop IPA, collaboration IIPA, imperial stout, 2 different saisons, etc). They have a few guest taps and a decent bottle selection (including Westy 12 for $30 if you so desire). Not only do they have a phenomenal beer list, but the beers are actually really good. Of the 5 I tried, lowest rated was a 3.7, highest 4.1. I guess you could find fault with their food menu - it is small, mostly things like meat plate, cheese plate, etc. and fairly expensive. So I didn’t order any food. But what I saw (and smelled) looked really good too. Service was great too - although it was busy, our waiter kept coming back and making sure we were ok. Overall - this is a brewpub you must check out if in Toronto, you won’t be disappointed.

From outside this place does not look like much. Inside you will be welcomed with most attentive staff there is in Toronto. They offer generous samplers , food menu is limited but everything tasted great. For quality they offer prices are very reasonable. Beer is excellent. Toronto needed such place to rise benchmark.

When I visited: April 2012. What I had: Lost River Baltic Porter, Witchshark Imperial IPA, Berliner Weisse, various snacks, dessert. What I liked: Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, excellent timely service, delicious food and beer. Bellwoods is cranking out high quality takes on under-represented styles and they blow Mill St. and Granite out of the water. I’ll be interested to see how other newcomers - like the Indie Alehouse - stack up. What I disliked: Nothing. My only criticism is that the beer, while very good, falls short of greatness. These guys will continue to evolve, though, and I think their best is yet to come. Would I go back? Absolutely. Overall Rating: 84

Trendy, fashionable place. Seems like a place all the hipsters would go to in the area. Great selection of beer from the brewery you can watch as you drink. Clean simple design, a cool place to hang out. Try the duck hearts...booooootiful.

This is a great new addition to the Toronto microbrew scene. The place itself has a cool set up, two floors of tables all focused on the brewing equipment that takes up the back corner. The food menu was a little more gourmet than I was willing to get into - more so than volo even. The abundant number of hipsters in the place seemed to enjoy it however. The beer is excellent, however. For a small start-up brewery, the Belgian styles they offer far exceeded my expectations. Even though it’s a bit pricey considering the beers are made in house, it’s well worth stopping in.

Maybe I had too much sun or jet lag, but I can’t say enough about this place. Atmosphere is elegant park bench, ridiculous until you are there. Service was quirky but acceptable and fun. Beer was all theirs, but so good I am happy they didn’t ruin it with foreigners. Food was well done bohemian fare, try the jalapeño roasted duck hearts. I wish I still lived in TO.
