Overall very good. The table space was a bit tight for the 7 of us. The service was a little slow from when the drinks arrived to when the orders were taken and the appetizer arrived. The mains came reasonably after the appetizers. The quality of the food was very good. Would come again.

The waiter was professional, and very knowledgeable about the food and beverages. When I say professional, I mean that items were whisked away and replaced without anyone noticing, and his service never felt intrusive, which is the mark of a highly skilled waiter.

We are always so pleased with our experience at Beerbistro. We make a trip once a year (from two hours north of Toronto) simply for a dinner date here. The food is always incredible, the staff is always friendly and personable, and the atmosphere makes us feel very welcomed. The variety of beer is out of this world and we hope to keep our annual tradition alive for many years to come (it's been 8 years and counting!).

Appetizer arrived late with dinner course. Server not attentive - had to ask him for items - showed no initiative on his part all evening. I told them it was my husband’s birthday - no recognition on their part of his celebration This used to be one of my favorite places to eat. I will not return or recommend it to others. The quality of food has diminished. Overall I was very disappointed with the service and quality of food and general lack of interest of staff to a returning customer. Thumbs down.

While the beer was the star of the show, the food is still an A-list supporting actor. Definitely a good restaurant for any major occassion, strongly recommended.

Our server was stand-out – asked each one of us three questions about the type of beer we liked, chose a different one for each of us based on that, and nailed it each time. Exemplary service throughout, and a very tasty meal.

AMAZING Service! From the host to server - an awesome experience. Excellent beer recommendations, good depth in the tap list, with a laudable cellar. Great atmosphere, and an obvious care to our requests - we requested a patio, but were unable to use it due to rain. The host carefully chose a table in close proximity to the patio so that we could enjoy the outside through the window, and then checked in on us during the meal. Truly excellent.

Top 10 places to drink cider in Toronto
The name may have beer in it, but that’s not all this spot serves up. The cider selection at Beerbistro is on the smaller side, but it offers draught and bottles, and a special ice cider, sold by the glass or bottle.

Best pulled pork in Toronto
Found on the lunch menu, Beer Bistro’s pulled pork is beer braised and smoked in house. Topped with gouda, the sandwich is served with potatoes and coleslaw. The delicious sandwich experience is complete with a bold brew like Shillow Beer Co.’s Bitter Waitress.
