BOTTOM LINE: A must-try if you're looking for a listening bar / jazz kissa!…read more Listening bars don't really seem to be a thing in Toronto (the few that have, have mostly all shut down!), but this may be one of the closest things to it. With careful attention and detail made to their audio system including ample sound absorbing boards along the wall, this is a place where you'll be able to appreciate the clarity of whatever's playing. There menu, although relatively small, will satisfy most people who are looking for a small bite or even a full-on meal. I've been here a few times, and it does change - most recently, I ordered the TUNA TARTARE, SCALLOP CRUDO, DUCK CONFIT, and FUNGHI PASTA, and which were all very shareable. Overall, I felt like each dish was really done well and the ingredients were fresh - especially the duck, which remained nice and juicy! The staff were laid back and friendly. On Sunday nights, it's basically happy hour all night long! They make a delicious vermouth high ball that is (dangerously) smooth, so I'd definitely recommend that for a night cap!

We enjoyed a few glasses of nice red wine (a bit pricey) and a dessert called Pot De Creme Chocolate. Service was good, a bit slow but the place was packed. Highly recommend coming here especially if you enjoy Djs spinning music and a fun atmoshphere.

The flavors are very unique and many are on the dry side if you are into that. Today we got to try the new non-alcoholic organic sparkling cider which was super refreshing and the perfect amount of sweet but not too sweet. They are open for limited hours to taste and purchase in person. There are lovely big tables for socially distant gathering outdoors, and a few food items for sale like maple syrup, maple cider grilling sauce, honey, grass fed meats and fresh veggies. You can stay and hike around the forest and property and see many experiments in action. We got a little tour today and saw shiitake mushrooms growing on logs! Ice cold cider and the great outdoors what more could you want!? I heard there's going to be glamping soon! Exciting things happening here.

On our way out on a road trip, we stopped in at Slabtown Cider in Uxbridge for an early lunch. It's…read morea great spot, offering fresh and delicious food, wide open spaces with a large patio, and nice ambiance. We ordered a couple of pizzas - Margherita and Fungi (Mushroom) - that were really good, made with fresh ingredients. The truffle oil on the Fungi pizza was almost intoxicating. Yummy! The Double Smashed Burger was topped with sautéed mushrooms, onions, bacon, cheese, and more. This was ordered with a Mixed Green Salad that was very attractive and colourful. Both were delicious! The Cubano Sandwich was made with smoked ham, pulled pork, bacon, Provolone cheese, pickles, and maple mustard. Great sandwich, full of flavour! Since this was the start of a road trip, we didn't indulge in any adult beverages. Maybe next time...

My friend and I went for dinner before line dancing on a Friday. We arrived at 5:30ish and were able to get a high top table on their patio. They don't take same day reservations & I recommend you make a reservation if you can, as it was already pretty busy at that time of the day. Our server, Alex, was a treat! She asked us if we've been there before, and when we said that it's our first time, she pretty much guaranteed that we would be back. She then proceeded to tell us about their apple orchard where they grow their own apples to make the ciders from. She took our drinks order and we told her that we're ready to order food as well. I ordered the bacon & pickle pizza. I've been wanting to try a pickle pizza forever, so I was happy to see one on the menu. My friend was contemplating on either the octopus starter with a side of sweet potato fries or the salmon entree. Alex had no doubt in her mind when she told my friend that the salmon is really good, so she chose that. Our drinks and food came quickly & everything not only looked good but tasted amazing too! My friend said the salmon was cooked to perfection. I loved my pizza. It was tasty and unique. I also ordered the pepperoni pizza add mushrooms to go for hubby. I got to eat some of that & it was really good as well. My hubby said he prefers the bacon & pickle one better. That is truly a high compliment as he usually doesn't like pizzas with a white sauce. The space at Slabtown has beautiful scenery. There is also an open, grassy massive space next to the patio where families can order food from their food truck & eat at a picnic bench, allowing their kids to run around freely. I can't wait to bring my hubby here! Highly recommended.

My friend hosted her movie premiere party here a few months ago for the Hamilton Fringe Festival and we had an absolute ball!! Hammerheads Fresh on Locke were on hand offering the most delicious poke bowls ever, paired with drinks and a movie it was an ideal experience. The service was super friendly all night and the guests had a great time indoors and outdoors. I've seen they have had several food guests from local restaurants which has been cool to see - and they are starting to extend their hours and are open till 8 or 9pm some nights. Check out their Instagram for the latest news. Love this new cidery that's bikeable from Locke Street and the surrounding neighborhoods. They have cans to go, cute swag, and ample car and bike parking space.

In a sea of breweries, Steel Town Cider sets itself apart! If you read their story, they're…read morefriends who formed to fill the void of locally produced, dry, rustic ciders that they found in Europe. They have an outdoor patio AND indoor taproom with high ceiling, old school video games. Vibe is very laid-back, don't expect someone to come to your picnic table to take your order! You may hafta open your own patio umbrella, go in and order your own drinks. 12oz pours are $7.50, BUT...you can get 3 smaller samples for the same price. This isn't on the menu, I had to ask. It's in a very industrial area and somewhat hidden in a white building, on a side street. They do have some specific rules like minimum purchase is 4 cans and their hours of operation are quite limited. They seem to be only open 3 days/week 'til 6pm. Other than selling bags of chips, they don't serve food, so just come thirsty!

Sarah, was friendly, knowledgeable on the process of cider and great with recommendations. The original location has been open for 10 years, with the second location ( The Buffalo Cider Hall) within the last three years. If your into hard cider and looking to try different kinds; recommend the flight of 4. I tried a small size of Lakeside Loganberry,Ghost Lantern, and Redbarn Sweet cider. The original location has 40 acre orchard, tasting room, production and outside sitting area. Their wide variety of flavors are sure to please all. The cider can be found at Wegmans, Consumer Sqaure, their locations to name a few, and they do ship as well. Well worth checking out, for all the cider lovers.

The inside is hug lots are various areas for you to choose to sit and the main seating area is the bar with three large long tables and then there's a cash register in the other side of the wall. Merchandises are along the side and closer to the front as you walked in. Behind the cash register shows the list of cider and sparkling. You have the option of getting a pint of flight or cans. You also have the option of grabbing a bite if you're hungry. There is the following room next to it where it has sofas and board games. The staffs are very friendly and kind although I got one flight to share but in the end prior to purchasing, I felt like I had taste 2 1/2 flights.

The outdoor setting is also very pretty with tables and chairs surrounded by flowers, shrubs and trees. I was there for a goat yoga session held on the property rather than a wine tasting but I did get a can of their Shiny Apple Cider. It's a fermented alcoholic drink made from Ontario apples. I love apples but not apple juice. So I'm not their target market (i.e. I'm not much of an apple cider fan). The staff were friendly, the washrooms were clean and the parking lot was big.

It's first come first serve, but people come and go pretty quickly. They also have a lot of seating. Most people try a few flights and go to the next vineyard, so it's perfect for vineyard/brewery hopping. We got a few flights of beer and one flight of wine. We weren't paying attention and tried the ciders before the wine. That was a mistake. The ciders are quite sweet, so tasting the wines after didn't give us a fair taste. Out if the ciders, our favourites were the peach cider, mango pineapple cider and the pink lemonade cider. All of them were very sweet though. The salted caramel was the most unique flavour and was surprisingly pretty good as well. They did have charcuterie on the menu, however I wish they had some other small bites to accompany the tastings. All in all, super cute place to add to your vineyard hopping list!
