I wasnt expecting to like it as much as I did but it was perfect with how hot it was outside. The beer was hazy and fruity so it blended well and felt like a frozen coctail which is right down my ally. The atmosphere was great as well. There were plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating along with some comfy couch seating and bar as well. There seemed to be some good boardgames which is always a good touch. The staff was great. They chatted with us for a while, gave some recommendations, and we're fast. They dont do growler fills or else we would have been here all the time. Overall a great spot for drinks.

While we were there I tried Rookie Card Pale Ale for the first time and immediately loved it. Same with Patty O' Beer Irish Red Ale; both fantastic additions to the list of GLB beers I enjoy. Service was great too. The bartender even gave us a couple samples before we picked our pint, which is always appreciated when you're deciding between a few options. Overall, a great experience for fans of craft beer and definitely worth stopping by if you enjoy GLB like I do. Only downfall was I found the pints to be pretty pricey.

We came for trivia night so it is possible the experience would be different on an ordinary night…read more The game was fun and the space was open and clean. Foodwise however quite a few of us were let down. The beer menu of course is extensive! We split a pizza and it was super oily and lacking flavor-- the pizza pan was coated in oil at the bottom. Chicken wings were also apparently dissatisfactory, but garlic knots and burger had rave reviews! So, perhaps a better spot for drinks than a meal!

The location is stunning, and the renovated warehouse is gorgeous. Sadly, this was my worst dining…read moreexperience ever in Toronto. Given the proximity to several major tourist sites and stadiums, guests should expect to wait in line for tables at times. We visited in summer, so we were totally happy with a wait for a patio table, given we live in major food cities where this is common. Once we were seated after about a 25-minute wait, it took several minutes for our host to bring us water. Finally, our server arrived, and with minimal support or answers to our questions, we had to decide on very specific meal options since some menu items were out of stock, and allergy/content information could not be confirmed since the server repeatedly forgot to ask management. Our drink orders arrived after our meals did, and two out of three meals were incorrect. On top of this, the correct meal had meat added to it despite the guest being a vegetarian. After we pointed this out to the server, nothing was changed, and we waited a full meal service before they showed up again. We repeatedly requested water refills, only to receive new glasses of water as we departed. The server blamed the water station's distance on the 30-minute delay. If this is truly the case, you need to add multiple new water stations for staff to use. Holy cow! Luckily, none of us would die for these errors, but they were the most concerning dining experiences any of us have experienced. Not once did the team or server show concern, and we did our best to leave a low gratuity. I hate to be that person, but damn, y'all have a lot to improve upon. I normally collect coasters from breweries I attend, but this was the first time I have specifically refused to ask for merchandise from a brewery. Good luck to whoever has this server and team next. We will not return.

We arrived during happy hour which included a selection of drinks and snacks. We unfortunately could not stay for trivia (started at 8 pm) but it seemed like a fun event and perfect date-night activity. Definitely will be back!

The menu is limited if you're looking for healthy non meat options, we had the fries (delicious), kale salad with salmon (also delicious but salmon was definitely on the smaller portion for a 37.00 salad), and my partner had the burger (he enjoyed although meat was overcooked). Was a pleasant experience and the aperol and wine was refreshing! Our only complaint is that my salad came out way before his burger and we weren't sharing since I don't eat meat so we basically shared my salad since we were starving then he ate his burger as I waited since it took probably another 10 minutes to arrive.

The drink was really good and I enjoyed it immensely but the flamm was just okay. Not a lot of toppings as pictured on the menu haha. There is a bit of a hike to the bathroom but it's manageable. Unfortunately because the windows to the patio was opened, there was a lot of smoke (weed/vaping) and random perfume and cologne scents wafting in. Just beware.

ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A cavernous interior with a main bar and stools, plus a ton of places to sit. I never made it outside where apparently there was a beer garden. Minimal natural lighting inside and of course a ton outside while electric ceiling lights filled in both areas.
