C’est What has always been one of my favourite places to hang out in Toronto, even back before I was a serious beer geek. I love the atmosphere, and the food is good quality and reasonably priced. The service isn’t as good as it used to be, but is still better than some places. As for the beer, you won’t find a better selection of Ontario & Quebec micros on tap anywhere else in the city. It’s just a shame that many of their house beers aren’t so hot.

I really like this place. With the second addition added, has a real nice feeling and ambiance. Pretty good selection on Ontario micros and on-site fermented selection. I love the Lamb burger.

Great atmosphere, fairly large basement pub. I don’t mind the tv’s and pool tables in new room - at least they’ve kept them separate, so you have a choice. Very good selection of Ontario Micro’s, nice to have the few more taps in the new room. Strangely, I’ve never found it overly smoky (and I hate smoky) but on the other hand, I’ve found their food a bit disappointing and overpriced. Good spot, great accessible location. New rating (March 06): This place has nose dived in the past year or so. The service was never terribly friendly before but it is down right rude and hostile now. Bouncers, hostesses who will freak out on you if you dare try and grab an extra table (even when the place is empty) - my friend was actually asked to leave because he did this! I’m not vindictive and am as easy going as they come, but I will never step foot back in here again - support Volo, Beer Bistro, Joe’s and others but save your money and do not go here.

Pros: Selection of Ontario micros is extensive, merely good in terms of the world.That said if you are visiting its probably one of the best places to try an assortment of the core Ontario micro brands. Food is reasonably priced and extremely tasty, good comfort food, or upscale pub grub with a touch of ethnic thrown in. Comfortable relaxed environment generally, nice bare brick walls. Great spot to try a bunch of local brews for visiting Ratebeerians. I come back fairly regularly to eat since it pleases a wide audience. Cons: Has a historical reputation for surly staff but I find that has improved recently. If coming in a large-ish group be aware that it can be obnoxious getting a table on a busy weekend evening or during one of their festivals.

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!
