Hair of the Dog embodies a particular philosophy of relaxed conviviality that, while not achieving…read morethe refined precision of haute cuisine, merits recognition as a competent articulation of casual hospitality and approachable gastronomy. The establishment's most remarkable feature resides in its architectural flexibility--multiple dimensional spaces accommodate diverse clientele from intimate dining pairs to festive larger assemblies. This pragmatic responsiveness to varying social needs demonstrates genuine understanding of the hospitality spectrum. Their cocktail program demonstrates fundamental competency: preparations that prioritize balance and classical technique over unnecessary elaboration. The spirit-forward compositions achieve respectable equilibrium, suggesting kitchen staff with grounding in mixological fundamentals. The kitchen's approach to food preparation emphasizes comfort and straightforward execution rather than technical virtuosity. Whilst this represents philosophical honesty, one occasionally detects opportunities for greater precision in temperature control and plating presentation. Service staff demonstrate genuine warmth and attentiveness, creating atmosphere conducive to extended social engagement. The ability to make patrons feel genuinely welcome constitutes underrated gastronomic skill. Hair of the Dog succeeds principally as a social destination rather than a culinary exemplar. It represents honest, unpretentious hospitality that fills genuine niche in Toronto's entertainment landscape. For those seeking spirited conviviality combined with serviceable cuisine, this establishment merits serious consideration.

The…read moreservice was friendly and helpful while the interior was spacious and casual - something you'd expect at a fast food spot. The fried chicken was fried well but had absolutely no flavour. It's like they didn't season it whatsoever. The Nashville hot fries were underwhelming as well. It seemed like they were running out of sauce because the chipotle aioli they put was minuscule and I ran out of it after a few bites, leaving me with dry fries and a few pieces of overcooked tenders. The tenders were hard as rock and barely had any in the fries. I'd definitely avoid this place. 1.2/5

Their house special double patty cheeseburger with onions, fried jalapenos and special sauce. Nice soft and slightly sweet brioche(?) bun with tons of flavour in the burger. The heat from the jalapenos definitely builds. The batter and onions add nice texture. 4/5 - Chili cheese fries. Upgraded as part of the combo. Lots of chili and a rich cheddar/american cheese sauce. Good flavours and met the mark, however paired with the Cabano burger can be very very heavy. AMBIENCE (3/5) Small interior with an order kiosk, a pick up counter, and 10-12 bar seats. Well cleaned and didn't feel grimey. LOCATION (4/5) Tucked away a block or so away from Bloor-Yonge it doesn't get a whole lot of foot traffic but easily accessible by transit.

Very helpful and pleasant people. I wanted something small, so opted for their pork tacos. You get 3 small pork tacos for $14.75, which is pretty good in terms of value. They were surprisingly meaty, and tasted decent. They would probably make a good sharing item for the table as they were quite salty. Now, if this were a taqueria, I would not be impressed with the tacos. So if you are expecting "proper" tacos, don't order them. Go to a taqueria, lol. But this is a corporate chain pub in a city, whose main goal is to make a large swathe of people happy. So within this context, I think they did a good job. I would totally be ok to come back and try something else another time. I also had a local hazy IPA which was lovely. Overall, it was a good experience and I would go there again.

We ordered the burrata, the spinach dip and the cauliflower. I also got the chai espresso martini for a cocktail. The burrata was mind blowing, it had a nice combination of creamy from the burrata and sweet from the roasted vegetables. I ate this up so fast, it was so good. The spinach dip was too cheesy it overwhelmed us a bit. It also overpowered the spinach. The cauliflower was spicy and nice but it was too saucy and overwhelming as well. The chai espresso martini was very nice but I couldn't taste the chai, it just tasted like a regular espresso martini, but it was very nicely made. They also had a private event booked at 9:45 and they didn't let us know before our reservation so it was really frustrating and docked a .5, making this place a 3.5. Definitely did not seem professional to do that. Overall a good experience, and would most likely return if they don't book a private event and tell me after I sit down I have to leave after an hour.
