Mill Street is always reliable in an area of high-priced competition. Definitely more casual than its neighbors, I've always enjoyed coming here. Most recent visit was last week before the theatre. We tried a couple of seasonal drafts from their large selection, both which were refreshing. We also shared some appetizers that were quite good. The menu is fairly pub consistent but the food always comes out looking and tasting good. Service is usually pretty good here especially since it can be so busy (and the place is so big). It can be a tad loud in the room, particularly if the live music is happening, but it's a great social place to enjoy a meal. Pretty sure it was one of Toronto's first microbreweries and it's still going strong. read more

Really nice pub in Distillery district with perfect patio for the summer days. The beers are good and there are a lot of seasonal choices on tap. You can get a flight of four and enjoy the tasting. Service is very nice and timely. Besides that the food is pretty good. I may have an obsession with the kale caesar salad, but it is really delicious. During the last visit my friend had the fish in chips, which was yum. There is a tasting room besides the pub, where you can have a little taste of the remaining beers, surprisingly we even found one, which was not on the pub menu so it is strongly recommended to check the tasting room before or after. There you can also find some of the seasonal beers bottled or canned. Of course the standard beers of Mill Street are available in every store, but may be this is the best way to figure out your preferred brew. read more

Worst service ever. Wait 15 min just to get a waiter. another 30 min to get the food. 30 min for the bill. All that on a non busy sunday night... Seriously? If you can avoid, do so. read more

Really good food, quick service and tasty beer. The inside is light and open with plenty of TVs to catch the game. I tried their stout which achieved a better chocolate taste than most that try. For food I had a weekend special they called a British Club. It was basically a club sandwich, but instead of turkey it had a burger patty. It was good and the serving size was just right. My friend had some shrimp tacos and loved them. I will say our waitress had a robot personality, but I wasn't there to make friends, so it didn't offend me that much. If I lived in Toronto, I'd add it to my list of regulars. read more

Flat bread with mushrooms and truffle oil was delicious, brisket sandwich was bla nothing really exciting :(. The sample of beer they gave us bettlejuice i think it was. Had a super nice fresh flavor, very impress with it. I want to go back only for the flat bread. Take out probably. read more

Awesome beer selection including decent beer hall food. Will definitely recommend going there ones in Toronto. read more

We came here on a Friday. It was pretty packed and the there were several groups that were in the restaurant. They had quite a variety of beers on tap including some local beers. As for food, I got the Chorizo Pot Pie. It wasn't particularly interesting and probably isn't a place you come for the food. The beers on the other hand was pretty interesting. read more

Sat outside and ordered a flight. Their summer seasonal selection was fantastic!! I stopped in the bottle shop to bring some goods home!!! read more

I came here once for dinner in the summer with my sister and my cousin from NYC who loves visting the Distillery every year she comes. I have a gluten-sensitivity so beer and anything cooked in beer was off-limits, therefore I don't have much to say about their beer selection. However, I want to note that their Spicy Red Thai Mussels were TO DIE FOR. I have to say they are the best mussels I've had so far. You get a HUGE portion - enough to share with 3 (when I go back next, I am definitely getting my own though), and for a very reasonable price of $12. From what I remember, it took a while for a server to come take our order, but the mussels made up for it. We also ordered the Flat Iron Cobb Salad which was nothing special, and the Asian Beef Taco which I didn't try because of my sensitivty. Overall, cannot wait to go back and have those delicious mussles all to my self! read more

A lovely spot to pass an hour or two in the sunshine, a great selection of beers in a lovely area. Service was very good too. If I lived in Toronto I would be a regular here. read more

I had lunch here today and it was delightful. I got the elk burger with bacon jam and spicy mayo - it was incredible. I recommend getting the "fleet" of beers, it's a sampling bears of your choice each 8oz! read more

The historic building and the district is beautiful! The ambience was great, but I'm a sucker for historically-preserved buildings. We had a pitcher of the oatmeal stout, which was delicious. For the main course, I had the chicken pot pie (SO GOOD!) & finished off with the apple cobbler. I Would have given the restaurant 5 stars, but the experience was very long. I understand they are understaffed, so be prepared to spend several minutes waiting for the server. read more

Beer selection was just OK for being in the distillery district. Food was good though. I ordered the steak frites, my wife got the chicken sandwich. Both were good. The cheese dip was also good. I was pleased with the meal overall. I would return, but there are many other spots I would like to try in the area as well. I would recommend for someone looking for pub fare, with a slight twist on some items, nothing too fancy though. Atmosphere was good to boot. read more

The food is pretty good - a notch above regular pub fare. Very good service. However we had one major problem. Just as we were ordering, a guy started setting up an amp and guitar next to us. Before we knew it he was playing and singing cover tunes - pretty much drowning out all conversation and actually made the overall experience disappointing. We just finished our meal and left. Not worth the ~$170 we spent between our two parties totalling 5 people. Not to mention, we waited an hour to be seated - not their fault, I know. But it just made the whole thing even more aggravating. The pub should ditch the live entertainment - it's totally not necessary. Nobody applauded after every song. I felt bad for the guy, but it doesn't work. read more

Beer was pretty good. Steak was juicy and tasty. I loved how they did the 4 sample beer so that I can try them all! Super crowded though and they put us(4 people) into one tiny round table...service was okay. Was hard to place the plates and our beers because we were scared of it falling. read more

Writing this review after two visits to Mill St. To be honest, my first trip didn't go well. We were seated and then got ignored for a very long time. We literally got lost in the hustle/bustle of a busy day I guess. It was long enough that we left, when we told the lady at the door we were never served or even approached she kind of laughed it off. This was definitely not the response we anticipated. I don't like to leave a bad review without first contacting the establishment and letting them know what happened. This is what I did. The manager we talked to was amazing. She instantly mailed us some gift cards, and said next time we were in the area to give her a call and she would make sure we were taken care of. We called her on a Friday night and even though they don't do reso's on Friday night - she saved us a table during a super busy time. This past experience was great! We got the nachos as well as the spinach dip app. Both were above average, and the spinach dip was some of the best I have ever had. Our server was beyond great. He was super helpful and unbelievably knowledgeable about the beer selection. He even brought us a couple samples to test. When it was time to order, all 4 people at our table ordered a "flight" (4 8oz beers). Our server took our order without writing it down, and came back with all 4 flights (16 different types of beers) without making a mistake. I dropped one star because of the first issue we had but was blown away by how they made up for it. Will definitely be back. read more

This bar is not bad. We ordered chicken wings and calamari, and they were good. Service was alright, but I would say the level of detail & attention to patrons could be improved. read more

The food was excellent, fish and chips on point. Others in the group had sandwiches that were delish. The atmosphere was fun and the choice of seating (2 outdoor patios) nice options. The servers were very pleasant and were great ambassadors for Toronto, offering tips on the city. Will definitely be back! read more

Spectacular food and beer! Cozy environment! Not so cheap but worth to try it! Perfect place to go after work to have fun with friends!

The girl that works at the front in the back patio is one of the rudest hostess I've ever met in my life, was wearing her hair in pigtails.

Just finished having lunch there on a Sunday afternoon. My sister and I were just looking for a tasty, quick lunch, a beer hall should be the perfect fit. Took awhile to get seated and once we did it was right at a giant support post, okay, fine, as long as they remember us/ see us. Took a good 15 minutes for the server to come and take our order. Took awhile for our drinks and pretzel to arrive, but finally got it and was hot and delicious. My sisters main came while we were just a few minutes into eating our pretzel.. Okay fine, assuming mine will be shortly after. 25 minutes later, after she's already finished and her plate is cleared, mine finally arrives. I ordered the fish fry and for $23 is quite a rip off, two small pieces of fish and a bowl of fries. Although we were given my meal for free, it was still annoying to have everything arrive late and have no real expectation as to why. It wasn't just us either, the couple behind us got there and ordered before us and still hadn't received their food when we were leaving an hour later. Another table was given the wrong food also. For a Sunday on a long weekend in a touristy area in a major city, I don't see how this kind of service is acceptable. Get your shit together Mill Street. Final Verdict: Don't bother! There are SO many other, better, more delicious placed to go that even serve mill street beer. read more

Last Friday we had a reunion of 20 past and present office staff at this location. On-line reservation process was quick and easy and follow-up confirmation phone call provided reassurance reservation was received accurately. Table was ready early on the night of the event. Food was excellent - the Lamb shank chef special was my selection. Drinks and beer select was very good and the seasonal beers were an interesting tasting. Location in the distillery district was great for our diverse locations. Parking was plentiful. TTC bus (72a) nearby and cabs stand across miil street and the ride to the GO trains at Union is around $8.75. We'll be back! read more

UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE - HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE The customer service was great until.... My husband and his friend needed to step out briefly to put more money into the parking meter. On their way out, the waitress Ava questioned where they were going. My husband responded his intent and informed Ava that his wife (myself) is still at the table. I suspect that this is not standard protocol for servers to question customers where they are heading to, especially when the rest of the party are still sitting and enjoying their time. Customers can be heading to the washroom, or even smoke breaks. Is there a particular reason why the waitress asked such a question? Was she implying that my husband and his friend were trying to leave the restaurant without paying. When Ava was questioning my husband and his friend, there was another waitress next to Ava. While I observed the conversation between Ava and my husband, I also questioned "what is going on?". The waitress next to Ava told me it was "None of my business" and questioned why I am getting involved. As a wife, I have the right to know why my husband is getting questioned and hassled. I didn't appreciate the treatment and rude attitude of this other waitress as (1) I was not directing my question of "What's going on" to her and (2) why did she speak to a customer with such a rude tone of voice. I find the actions of both Ava and her colleague extremely inappropriate. read more

Great atmosphere, great service, garbage food. Dry over cooked fish and chips (sent back first order) and two over cooked bland flavorless burgers. 17 bucks for a burger the waitress described as "messy" (that's why I ordered it) and it was anything but. Had I dropped the thing it would have chipped the pavement. Go for drinks, never for food. read more

Like their slogan says: great beer lives here. Also a friendly staff and killer food read more

My husband and I sat at the bar for a beer & a snack and we ended up staying for three hours. I found a favorite beer - lemon tea beer - which is a perfect refreshing summer brew. We split the jerk chicken quesadilla and were not disappointed. My husband tried all kinds of beers but settled on the tank house. Our bartender was very fun & personable and was the main reason we stayed so long. read more

Sat on the back patio here this afternoon. We were seated immediately, which was fantastic for a hot Saturday afternoon. I had the Cubano sandwich with fresh cut fries, and it was really good, but the fries were slightly underdone. My friend had the beer-brined chicken with parsnip fries and kale and it was excellent. The Tankhouse Radler was a highlight, as was the Raspberry Lemonade, which is actually a mix of Mill St's Belgian Wit and Lemon Tea Beer with a shot of Raspberry Sourpuss. The chairs and tables on the patio were very comfortable to sit at, and the food came out very quickly. I'll definitely go back here again. read more

This place is MASSIVE. Even with a small line we were seated livery quickly. Sitting outside was fantastic as we took in the brewery district and the brides of the weekend walking by. The food selection was good. My pasta was ok, nothing special though. The menu may be too big to focus on anything special. I was interested in the artisanal toast though! Service was a little slow but he place is huge and their were lots of staff on. read more

Very busy during this time of year. The burgers are awesome and the staff was friendly however when another server brought out our food he was confused by what was actually ordered. The food was correct but what he said was not. They have some unique beers on tab and to select from, but was not able to get to enjoy a couple as we were there on our lunch break from work. All in all a nice comfortable place to have a bite to eat. read more

Hostess was a little impersonal. Server was great to speak to. He had great recommendations and was very patient with Americans that had a few drinks. The service is out of this world. We had our water, then drinks, then food much more quickly than amticipated. read more

I went for dinner here and the service was exceptional. The manager Paul could not have made the night any better. The food was delicious and overall a great night. I highly recommend going for dinner and drinks, you won't be disappointed. read more

I was a little apprehensive to come here for dinner before our Breaking Benjamin concert, after reading all of the poor yelp reviews. Honestly, the service was much faster than we expected, the food was FABULOUS, and we WILL be back for sure :) read more

Sat at the bar outside, where there was a fire pit and great vibe. Bartender was fantastic allowing us to try the different beers prior to committing to a pint. Loved, loved, loved the elk burger! Massive and delicious, definitely sharable. read more

I had an extremely negative experience here, which is a shame as the beer we ordered and the short rib poutine were excellent. I get the vibe they are going for. Upscale brew pub, little bit on the trendy side, but lets look at the abrupt and unmannerly individuals they have passing as wait staff. First off, they are wearing polos with ear pieces, not tuxedos, so the haughty attitude could be tolerable if they were at least somewhat competent. They were not. Rude and mismanaged, I have never been so easily dismissed at a restaurant before (let alone a nice-ish brew pub). We came early on a weekend night looking for dinner. The hostess-man literally looked us up and down for a solid 15 seconds before asking "yes?" Not hello, not good evening, gentleman, simply "yes?" Alright, hello, how about a table for 2? "at least a 45 minute wait." There were no less than 5 tables free in the bar area alone, and I'm not sure how many open in the dining room (we could see at least 1). We asked if we could sit at the bar while we waited and if something opens up, if they would come get us. "you're free to do whatever you want" was about as much as we received. While we waited 40 minutes not only did those tables that were empty when we arrived not get filled, but two more opened. I went back up to the host man and his accomplice/manager(?) towards the 40 minute mark and asked why there might be open tables since we've been waiting and why isn't it possible that we might, please, get sat? "I don't know what to tell you..." was the answer we received, then silence, then staring. Not only was I slightly offended I was embarrassed (and confused). I felt judged and uncomfortable. Did I do somethign wrong? Was there crap on my face? Why, Mill Street Brew Pub? WHY? Before we signed the check, It took us three tries to get the bartenders attention, and even then not a good evening gentleman or have a good one. Simply silence while they gave us the bill and charged us. Now, this could be a purposeful atmosphere that the management is trying to instill with his/her wait staff, a sort of upscale regime being initiated, but it really wasn't that busy, and from what I remember we weren't that improperly dressed (it is after all a brew pub and not upscale dining). I was left flabbergasted. Not one friendly smile in the whole house. How? I eat out a lot, and I love food and good service. I'm not going in to with the intention to clash with anyone's business, but simply put: THERE IS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THE INDIVIDUALS WORKING HERE UNDER THE GUISE OF SERVICE. This needs to be addressed and corrected by management across the board. Very very offensive experience. F. read more

Loved it! Excellent food. Excellent service. Great ambience! Down-to-earth, friendly and respectful employees. We felt instantly welcome there. On the plus side, it's Deaf-friendly! I'll definitely come back! read more

I've been here a few times. The food is pretty good and the service is good. Yesterday I tried their burger with a salad. The burger was tasty but I felt the side salad was a bit skimpy. read more

Located in a beautiful Distilery District, Mill St brewery has been known for their pretty nice selection of local brews. The food is also pretty decent, a bit different from a standard pub food, for example, a poutine comes with montreal smoked meet to their poutine.. not bad at all.. nachos are yummy! read more

This is a pub in the distillery district with its own beers. I only tried one beer and I liked it. What I love about this place is its food. It has a good selection of food and with a twist to the traditional pub food items. I ordered a shepherds pie but made with lamb, and it came with a side of kale caesar salad. In terms of drinks, they have several beer cocktails, which I am excited to try next time I visit. read more

Good food and beer but absolutely horrible service by our waitress. The service has gradually gone down hill year over year. I live in the neighborhood and unfortunately this will be my last visit to Mill Street Brewery. read more

They used to have wing night on Tuesdays, or maybe they still call it that but now it's nothing cheap or special. The wings used to be $. 50 each (great deal for pints and wings once a week), then increased to $ .55 -not such a big deal but now - they are "by the pound" so you get 6 wings for $6...... My 4 years of wing nights just ended with that price increase...... In conclusion, they cater to the masses and tourism, which is sad since it's in my neighborhood and I used to frequent here. read more
