Large, maze like pub below street level in Old Town Toronto near St. Lawrence Market. Has a few of its own beers - tried Al’s Cask Ale, which was pretty decent. Large range of draughts, all were well served. Servers were extremely friendly, very efficient and attentive. They knew the tap beers pretty well, but were not overwhelmingly knowledgeable about the bottle selection. Bottle selection was small, but interesting. The highlight was Unibroue’s Terrible - neither bartender had ever tried it, so we shared. Didn’t try the food. Overall great place, definitely worth a try.

Too smoky. Service ranges from grudingly acceptable to downright awful. Good beer list, though. New room is ski lodge/sports bar - ugh. But it does mean more taps!

The most impressive draught list I’ve seen in Toronto with both quantity and quality. Large, spacious, modern basement pub where you can easily forget being in a basement. Friendly, respectful and helpful service. Appropriate decoration makes it spacey and welcoming. The house beers are a bonus, not particularly tasty, but a pleasant addition to the already complete menu.

Musty smelling, slightly run-down, generally dead during the day. Not the greatest atmosphere but it is in a good location near St. Lawrence market. Decent selection of local and house brews on tap and more than one cask makes the lack of proper glassware forgivable.

I liked this place. Lots of taps, most of them good. Seems like a cool place to kill an afternoon. Worth stopping by if in the area. Service can be a bit slow, but still a good place. The food is pretty solid. Rotating taps with some stuff that you don’t see in many other places.

good pub. Three of us had seven beers and some food and walked out for less than 50 CDN (38 USD). Smoking and non-smoking areas, lots of tables and sofas and billiard tables. Servers not beer knowledgeable,

My other favourite place in TO! They have a more extensive tap selection than Volo, and a more extensive menu...enjoyed the Staggering Pig sandwich, pulled pork with Chipotle and wine reduction dip...mmmm! Service was friendly and attentive. The bar is huge , in 2 sections (one for shows and one for dining). Samplers are 2$ for 3 on. each, or 6 for 10$. I highly recommend this place...have to go back for the other house beers I didn’t try.

If you wanted to drink Canadian beers in Toronto and could only go to one place, this should be it. Spectacular selection of micros in top condition. A wide variety of styles, many beers on hand pump, their own beers as well nicely brewed by County Durham, it seems). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and gave me a few free samples. Not the most lovely place, but you can spend the night reading the menu instead of looking around.

Basement bar that has the disadvantage of a basement bar (lack of view, sun) but doesn’t have the warm feeling a nice cool basement bar (like Smokeless Joe) a few blocks away. I’d say go there at night because it is rather depressing to go to a bar like that during daylight. The place is surprisingly big. Can probably sit a few hundreds. Pool tables and all. Décor is typical large north-america pub, has a bit of a franchise atmosphere. About 30 taps when I was there including 4 “house-beer”. Mostly Ontario micros. They don’t brew anymore but they have “exclusive” beer from Durham. I don’t know how exclusive these Durham beer really are but they’re not very good anyway so I don’t really care. With so many taps I couldn’t find more than two beer I wanted to drink. Friendly knowledgeable staff that helped me with my selection. Music was at acceptable level. The food is decent and goes a bit beyond the basic greasy pub food. Overall unfortunately not worth it for me as I didn’t care for the atmosphere and I found the selection so-so despite the number.

Great selection. 16 taps. 2 casks. Nice big pub with excellent service. Worth a visit or even more.
