My buddies and I came here for a Brewery Tour and moved over to the bar area for food afterwards. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars, but alas I rounded down to 4. In regards to the tour: This was the best part of the Brewery. Hands down 5 stars. We had Lucas give us the tour and he was very nice and extremely knowledgeable on both beer, history and this particular brewery itself. He answered all of our questions, gave us detailed history of the particular area of Toronto going back a couple hundred years, and let us try several beers (and the root beer which was also really good) during the tasting portion. Food: This is where things were a bit mediocre and where it felt like 3 stars. The prices were expensive, 21 dollars for a burger (elk), and it was cooked well done as well. Beer: Very extensive beer menu. We had tried several at the bar. The one I ordered was good, but unfortunately members of my group weren't very satisfied with there's. Like I said the beer menu is huge, can almost be overwhelming, so just try and pick something safe (don't get the cherry milkshake!). Ambience: This brings the score back up again. Very open feel, love the old warehouse vibes with the brick walls. TVs with sports games on and they had a large shuffleboard table which was great to play on while drinking and watching the game. Service: Brewery tour service was top notch. It was fine for the dining experience. I would definitely recommend this place. Will probably come back just for the beers. read more

Mill Street Brew Pub - Brewpubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We had wandered in here while visiting the Distillery District. There was a polar vortex over Toronto, so we wanted to snag some bites and warm up just a bit. The bartenders were friendly and attentive, the location was appealing and charming, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. However, maybe we were visiting on a popular day as, although we were seated easily, those after us had a bit of a wait to even be sat at the bar. So, maybe call ahead if you are looking to visit here or have a backup. If you don't mind a potential brief wait, you're in for a treat. Being a bit warmer, and not at full health, we opted for Earl Grey tea. In addition to this, we went with the poutine- as I was visiting from outside Canada and had not yet enjoyed any. Their version had some shredded pickles on it, which added a little something extra. I haven't had tons of poutine in my life, but this was certainly one of the better instances of it that I have been fortunate enough to enjoy. I was too eager and forgot to take a photo. :( Give them a shot! :) read more

We decided to go to the Distillery for the first Saturday of the Christmas Market. Sadly it is was raining. On the other hand it meant smaller crowds than expected. At one point the rain was too much so we decided to get out of the rain and try out Mill Street Pub. Hostess greeted us right away and was able to get us seated within 10 minutes. Remember none of the restaurants take reservation during the Market. Our server was amazing. Spent time explaining the menu and the drink selection. We went with a large nachos with chicken and the pirogies. We all ordered the Organic lager to drink. Everything was great. I highly recommend this place. Good drink and food. Nice pub atmosphere, loads of TVs to watch sports. read more

Mill Street Brew Pub - Great outdoor patio - Brewpubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Stopped here for lunch on a Friday and grabbed food at the bar. Great service from the bartender. Lively location that appears to be a hot spot. We didn't have to wait long for seating at the bar but it was packed waiting for a table. I tried the fruity wheat beer and it was pretty tasty. We shared some appetizers including poutine and nachos with a cobb salad. Everything was delicious but huge portions! There were three of us and we did not get more than half way through each plate. read more

The food was amazing here! We sat outside. It was a very nice day on the weekend. We had two servers who were some of the nicest people we have met! They gave us all amazing recommendations when asking. I had a beer flight of AMAZING tasting beers. We followed it up with the Double Bacon Poutine Fries which were so tasty. The chunks of bacon were perfect! I then had a burger that was out of this world! It had bacon cheese and slaw on top, with a little spice! SO many flavors! Would 100% go back here and drink and eat! read more

Came down here for the lights festival, so we decided to have dinner here. Probably the worst idea during the time, the pub was jam packed. We had to fit 6 people around two tiny bar tables. It was so tight, I couldn't piss to save my life. Anyway, Victoria, the one that took our orders was great. She was super nice and very friendly. Although awesome, she didn't come too often. I assume the reason for that was the craziness trying to please other customers. The food was good, not spectacular. I ordered the meat loaf - super yummy but super salty. The meat was soft and melted in my mouth. Just thinking about it makes me salivate lol I paired it with a recommended drink and it was awesome. I don't remember what the drink is called though :( 3.5 stars this visit, due to the lack of attention we had. I know it wasn't her fault, but there could've been more effort put into stopping by to ask how we were doing. read more

The worst. We arrived when the a/c was broken. Sat outside. Under a non operating fan. Ordered drinks. After 20 mins still no drinks. Asked several people but no one was able for 15 mons to produce the drinks. We placed an order promptly at that time. After 30 more minutes our server came and apologized. But no food until we had been here for over an hour at which time I noticed our food sitting under the heater. I went to go get it. She told me she would bring it then left for another 5 mins. I spoke to the manager who was rude and told me she's busy. I said isn't it the managers job to help her then? He said we have. So all in all a terrible experience. Food order was messed up a total of 4 times and the wait continued. Don't bother with this place. read more

Great beer choice and the Steak Cobb Salad may be the best salad I've ever had! Service is impeccable!

Fun brew pub! After wandering around the Distillery District and checking out all the booths at the little market they had, Mill St Brew Pub was an excellent way to end our day. We only went for drinks, so this review is only speaking to the beer service, not the food. Overall it was a really good experience! I can echo what some others have said with the hosts/hostesses being kind of awkward when it comes to seating people. We told them that it was our first time and we just wanted beer and they told us to go find a seat at the bar, but it might be full. Then we went to a different host/hostess desk near the bar in the back, and were told that we could only be seated in one area, even though we asked to be seated in another. All in all just confusing I guess - not really sure what happened but we got a seat so I can't really complain. Our server was AMAZING! She was super friendly, very very knowledgable, and so nice. She brought us a sample of one of their beers, she explained in detail the beers they had, and helped us make a selection based on the beers we typically enjoy. Because of all the detail and how great the beer sounded, we ended up each getting a flight and sharing from there - we wanted to try them all! In terms of beers - most were really really good! The cask at the time was good but they served it warm which is just a hard thing to get used to. I am a big lover of stouts and unfortunately this stout was not great - very watery and thin. The Tankhouse was my favorite and the Wit was loved all around. If you find yourself in the Distillery District and want a beer - definitely come here! read more

Mill Street Brew Pub - Brewpubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I booked a month in advance for a 15-person birthday gathering - we were looking for a place with food and drinks that wouldn't kick us out or limit our seating time on a Friday evening. Brew pub means good selection of beer with classic pub food favs right? For the big Mill Street name, I was sadly disappointed. We arrived on time and the table was ready and set for us. This worked perfectly as it was a surprise gathering and people were showing up a bit staggered, but fortunately they didn't demand everyone be present before giving us the table. The setup put us near the back of the dining area out of the way of other patrons, giving us some space to mix and mingle. The waiters were accommodating and patient with us, so that was nice. Once we settled in we sought to order drinks and food - it was dinner time after all! Drinks were quickly taken care of and arrived timely, but getting our food order in became a challenge. Some people were indecisive and needed an extra minute - which turned into an extra half hour before any waiters came back. Then the joy of waiting began. I understand drinks are integral to the restaurant's fare, but for the time we showed up - 7pm - I really thought food would be regarded more importantly. The food took forever to show up, and most of us ordered basic fare like the Friday special fish and chips, burgers, and fries. There was nothing with a lot of customization or anything off-menu that could've taken so long! When the food finally showed up we were famished. The calamari turned out to be a sizeable portion that was quite good - a food highlight. Tater tots that came with the burgers were also a hit at the table, which was unexpected. Aside that, the fish, the burgers, the sandwiches, the fries, were all sub-par. Nothing to write about except don't have your hopes up. I'll be back for happy hour and if I'm grabbing just beer with a group of friends, but I bet the Distillery District has much more to offer. I was super grateful for them handling the large group on a Friday and being super patient with us, but I definitely won't be back for meals. read more

We came for dinner because our cousins wanted cider. This place was super cute and fun! We got seated for four with a baby within 10 minutes of walking in around 7pm on a Friday night. We were given the option to sit on the patio but was hot so we decided to sit inside for dinner. The patio Seemed like a great place to hang out all afternoon with friends. Our table was nicely situated in between two walls of tvs where we got to watch football and hockey. Throwing this out there before we get into all the good stuff! The only disappointing thing was all the fruit flies! They attacked all the time! Menu is two sides and pretty simple. We ended up with An elk burger, 2 BBQ sandwiches, the duck app and a bowl of ramen. Drinks were a four beer flight and two peach ciders. Food and drinks all came pretty fast and our waitress was super nice and friendly. Peach cider was not as sweet as I thought it would be but it was definitely very peachy! We would definitely head back for an afternoon of day drinking and visiting with friends and family. read more

I was visiting the historic Distillery District, and chose to come in here for a quick bite. I had the stock ale, which I found to be refreshing and crisp, and the Montreal smoked meat poutine as a quick bite to eat. Now, I never had poutine before; this was my first time eating poutine, and I had to say this was a tasty dish! I am glad I chose to stop in this brewery. Our server was very kind and prompt. I would love to come back here (If I am ever in Toronto again) and actually order a meal. read more

When you've shlepped all the way to the Distillery District (so that your out-of-town friend can stuff her chocoholic face with gourmet truffles at Soma), your dining options are kind of limited. The Boiler House wasn't open for lunch so we ended up here. We had a 15-minute wait for a two-top. The hostess will let you leave the restaurant and come back later, but she will not call your cell phone to let you know that your table is ready. Probably because it'd be a logistical nightmare to keep track of everyone or perhaps because she'd bung up dialing a 10-digit number, seeing as how she spelled my name as SUZAN.* We came back and our table was "ready," meaning the table was cleared but not set so when our delicious hot, buttery baked pretzels ($5 for two) and basket of sweet potato fries ($7) arrived, we had to ask for...and then wait a while for napkins to wipe off our sticky, greasy fingers. 20 minutes later, when my spicy red Thai curry mussels ($12) arrived, I had to ask for...and then wait a while again for a fork. The curried broth was nice but way too many of the mussels were undercooked and slimy. Ew. The place is huge and was packed full of tourists that day (mostly men from what I presume are places where people eat a lot of food, don't exercise, and never get direct sun exposure)...so I can see why the waitresses would be absent-minded. They were most likely hired to look good in tight tops and miniskirts, and not so much for their hash-slinging experience.* Bah, whatever, Mill St. Brewery is not a fine-dining establishment and all I would expect from it is good beer. On that, they deliver. I had their "award-winning" Tankhouse Pale Ale ($6 for 20 oz.) from a newly-changed keg which yielded a sumptuously creamy head and a lovely orange peel aroma in the beer. My friend was equally impressed with her Mill St. Extra Special Bitter (ESB). BOTTOM LINE: Great beer; not worth a special trip for a meal but has adequate bar food if you happen to be in the area, served by babelicious waitresses. This place is like Hooters for beer snobs.

Mill Street Brew Pub - baked pretzels & beer - Brewpubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Not a bad place.in the Distillery district. The area is awesome and somewhere you could probably hang out all day. The Mill Street Brewery itself is a pretty neat space. It's pretty large and will remind you of a factory. There is a lot of seating and they've always been pretty good to us in here. If you've been to the Ottawa Mill St, this location doesn't have as nice of a view but the interior is absolutely beautiful. I've been here for a bunch of appetizers and a hamburger. I think the burger isn't bad. It's a good size (much larger and less burnt) than what I had in Ottawa. The wings are solid and they do have a wing night. In the summer you can sit out on the patio. I find the staff super nice here and I have never asked for a brewery tour though I should at some time! read more

Disappointing is all I can really say about Mill Street. My man and I came on Saturday to watch the EuroCup games and try a few beers while visiting Toronto. Since we weren't planning on eating, we decided to sit at the bar (also for a better view). The bartender took at least five minutes to come see us, and immediately asked what we wanted. When we mentioned it was our first time in, he set menus on the bar and walked off. He came back after we'd had a chance to review and I had a question on the Lemon Tea Beer. I hadn't tried beer with black tea before and the lemon made me think it would taste more like a radler or shandy. I asked him about what the flavors might be similar to, if it would be too sweet, and his dead pan response was "It's a beer that tastes like beer." Okkkkay. I can see you're going to be rude here... I attempted to order something else on the menu, was told it was out, and given a "similar" alternate beer recommendation (which was actually nothing in style like the one I tried to order). In the end, I did order the tea beer. It was nice and refreshing, but would have been way more enjoyable without the attitude. We finished watching the game and hadn't seen our bartender in ages. We finally flagged down a gal who was mixing drinks for seated tables to get us our check. I'm not sure if A) our bartender's shift ended and he just didn't tell us, or B) he was too busy being a jackass to continue waiting on his existing customers. Either way, I wouldn't recommend it, nor will be back in the future. I'm sure there are plenty of places in town that serve their beer AND will give you decent service. read more

I came here for a Sunday lunch and got their prime rib burger and their homemade root-beer. I also tried their regular and sweet potato fries. The root beer wasn't very carbonated... so I wasn't a big fan. The burger had several problems. It came with caramelized onions, but they were completely bland. The bottom of the bun was completely soggy. The burger itself felt very fatty. I realize that on a prime rib they have a fatty part around the edge, but since it was ground up it felt like I had a bunch of fat with every bite. The fries were OK... not bad but nothing special. The sweet potato fries were pretty good, but way too greasy. The first few bites were good, but after a bit you felt too much grease with each additional fry. Plus the aioli sauce that came with it was pretty bland. read more

Distillery district is one of my favourite parts of downtown toronto, especially at night! Naturally, we came here for our date night. From the love wall, to the strings of twinkly lights.. it's the perfect place. We came to Mill St. because last time we tried to (during christmas market), it was booked full for like 2hrs straight... this time, although it was packed, they had a table for 2 right away. Walking in, it's SO much larger than it appears from the outside. I like how they have their little beer store/tasting at the front and in the inside, there is a beer hall, where you can see the beer brewery! Our table was quite small and it was beside a coat hanger thing on the wall, which was pretty disturbing since the jackets kept poking into the table and my face. Mill St. is super packed and loud, with about a thousand couples having dates and another thousand groups catching up. They've also got a bar area too. (obviously) Our server seemed super tired but he was still friendly and did his job well, although he was a bit quiet and it was hard to hear him with the loud chatter around us. ANYWAYS! THE FOOD. We had a baked pretzel appie, which was SO good. Think warm NY pretzels with a creamy dipping sauce that I'd sacrifice a child for, and a marinara sauce that my boyfriend fell in love with. For our entrees, he had this DIY platter thing (forgot what it's called) but it was so cool! You get a few slices of thick cut bread, bowls of different spreads (fig jam, feta cheese, and a few other yummy ones that I'm not sure what they were), thick cut gouda slices, mini sweet pickles and some different types of sausage slices that you can mix and match to make different combos. I've never seen something like this but he was completely satisfied after making his little bread creations. For $23, pretty cool! For myself, I had the cubano, which is a pulled pork panini with dill pickle and other stuff. It was SO good but I couldn't finish it all after having the appetizer. The dill was pretty strong and the pork was great. It comes with fries, which I didn't really care for. $16. We both had beers and I think I really liked the one he picked out (Portage?). They recommend beers with certain dishes and that one worked well with the sausage platter because it had minimal taste while the platter had an explosion of flavours. I had the tankhouse ale, which was good but not my favourite. I definitely would come back to try the different beers!! read more

I went here during the Light Show Event so it was a pretty busy night. Surprisingly the wait was less than an hour so we were happy. They were able to text my phone when the table was ready so my friends and I could explore the light show while we waited. The interior had a welcoming feel to it. The staff was super helpful and nice. For a busy night the service was decent. The food was amazing! I got the spicy curry and it was true to the spice. I loved it though.

Restaurant: Mill Street Brewery Cuisine: Pub Food Location: Distillery District Address: 55 Mill St Price Range: $10-15 1: Poor 2: OK 3: Good 4: Very Good 5: Excellent Food: 1 Service: 3 Ambiance: 2 Overall: 2 Extra information: *Own Mill Street Retail Store *Lots of Beer options *Large seating area *Large screen TVs *Patio seating I had my doubts going to this restaurant because when I looked up the reviews, a lot of people mentioned how this is more of a drinking place so the food is mediocre. Plus I was going for lunch with a family so I wasn't planning to drink which defeats the purpose of going to a Pub place. However, I've never been to the Distillery District so I thought I might as well give it a try. The restaurant is very big with a patio outside for seating when the weather is nice. We had to stand around for few minutes until the hostess came and she didn't even greet us properly. This was uncalled for because it wasn't even that busy- plus why have those hostess tables outside when there is so host to guide you in? However, our server was very friendly so that made up for it service wise. The restaurant has high ceiling while gives it a bit of cabin feel- with large screen TVs around this place would be good for large group parties or if you want to drop by for beer. Ordered: PULLED PORK POUTINE - This is from the Appetizer menu but it was pretty big in size, I guess it's because this is a 'pub' style restaurant? It came with too much gravy on top I couldn't even see the fries or the meat underneath. However, underneath all the gravy, there were lots of pulled pork and cheese on top. Pulled pork was soft and chewy with all the gravy goodness. This was tasty with fresh green onion that was added on top- but when it comes to it, I would choose New York fries poutine over this any day. Ordered: MEDIUM WINGS(15) - They have Wings special on Tuesdays so we decided to give it a try. They were 50 cents each. This was SO BAD, it was prob the worst wings I've ever had. The sauce was more sweet than sour- which is weird for hot wings. It was luke warm (kind of cold) and dry. I think they prob used the old wings from the day before and then just heated up the sauce and tossed it. The meat was tough and tasteless, it was just horrible! NEVER AGAIN!! Ordered: FLAT IRON STEAK SANDWICH - This came with fries, coleslaw and a pickle wedge. They cook the steak to your liking so I chose Medium Rare. Caramelized onions inside the sandwich gives it a bit of flavor but the sandwich was overall a little too dry. This def needs some more sauce to balance out the steak in the sandwich with the bread. This was prob the best dish out of 4 if I had to pick one. Ordered: DISTILLERY BURGER - Apparently this is one of their most popular burger so I decided to give it a try. This was another big disappointment. The burger was so dry and the beef patty was tough and over cooked. Coleslaw is just pieces of cabbage and carrot with no sauce or seasoning whatsoever. I wasn't sure what it was suppose to be? more like a salad without dressing? The fries were just mediocre. SUMMARY: I guess the reviews were right- this is more of a drinking place and the food is just mediocre. But these days there are so many restaurants with good selection of alcohol PLUS delicious food so I don't think I will ever go back. *chomp chomp* read more

Errrrrrrbody be recommending I hit up the distillery district, so thank goodness we had the cutest of lady's to show us around mill st. A-MA-ZING. First off the distillery district? If you have never been, you simply must go. I was there at dark and with everything closed and I still fell in love. We went with the intentions of grabbing wings and a ever so famous vanilla porter. They unfortunately poured the last vanilla porter when we ordered--travesty. We settled for a round of cobblestone stout and wings to start. Both were phenom. I haven't dabbled much into the world of dark and bitter beers. But I did seem to enjoy this particular brew. I found it smooth with little aftertaste and nutty-ness. The hot wings were so so so good! Even I found them just a touch too hot- how I like them. The bbq ones were pretty tasty as well. Lots of meat on the bone, no anorexic chickens used at mill st. My boyfriend ordered the grilled flat iron steak sandy, of which he raved about the entire trip. I had a little nibble, for yelp-age sake and I can agree. I had the portobello sandwich as I couldn't resist even the slightest amount of goat cheese. My favorite part had to actually be the fries. Crispy and golden with what appeared to be sea salt. The sandwich itself was yummy, but I felt more goat cheese was needed and a little less portobello. All around awesome meal. Not to mention the unbelievable atmosphere, Very neat inside with a working fireplace. This was our favorite meal in TO... so far! I must go back for vanilla porter, I just must. The beer selection is thrrrrrrough the roof. read more

The Distillery District is a historic area of Toronto with cobbled streets, designer boutiques, art galleries and restaurants. It's a really cool area to have a wander and if you're feeling hungry or thirsty I recommend stopping at Mill St. Brewery. It's a big venue with an outdoor patio- perfect on a summer's day. I sat down outside and ordered one of their craft beers, which the server helped me choose. There are burgers etc on the menu but I wanted something light and healthy, so he suggested his personal favourite was the quinoa salad. It was really good and I haven't had a quinoa salad as good as that since! Good spot for lunch and has a great atmosphere with it being quite a large, busy venue. read more

Distillery District is a historic site that many people visit to tour around and enjoy the beautiful buildings/sculptures, as well as to dine at the cafes and restaurants, such as Mill Street Brew Pub. Mill St. offers a wide selection of their refreshing handcrafted beers on tap and a variety of delicious dishes on their menu. I had visited Distillery District with my mom a few months ago and had lunch at Mill St. For drinks we ordered the Original Organic Lager and Lemon Tea Beer, which is my favourite from Mill St. For the mains, I ordered Stamp Pot which was sausages, asparagus and mashed potatoes, and my mom ordered Fish & Chips. The Stamp Pot was very delicious and the balsamic glaze that was drizzled on top was really tasty with bold flavours. My mom enjoyed the Fish & Chips and said that the haddock was perfectly crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside, just the way she likes it. With delicious food, refreshing drinks and a warm inviting atmosphere, Mill St. is my go-to pub whenever I visit to Distillery District. read more

It was so much better than I expected. I thought it would be just some glorified pub food, which is was, but it was tasty and good value for money (for the most part). We came earlier for their brewery tour. It wasn't a tour, more an educational talk. Since their expansion in the last ten years, they have moved their brewery to another facility in Scarborough but their experimental and some select beers are brewed here, and served in the restaurant (great test audience). I won't describe too much of it, and leave it for you to experience. You meet in their retail store, a small little space if you have a big group. You can get some samples of 4 of their beers. If you're familiar with the brand, you've probably have these before (tankhouse, organic, stock ale and coffee porter). They do sell beer here, as well as Mill St paraphernalia (bottle openers, magnets, t shirts, mugs etc). They also sell 1.89L of the raseberry infused beer. A great souvenir is the beer mug/beer combo (on sale today for $4.95, usually $6.95). After the tour, we had a reservation for foods. Although it's a big restaurant, the area we got seated in was really cramped. Maybe we just had too many people, and our big fluffy parks didn't help. There are coat hooks, but are minimal. The food itself was pretty good. I don't think I've ever had sweet potato fries this good. It's got some batter around the ouiside, making it crunchy on the outside and sweet on the inside. Tastes so good,don't even need dip. We ordered ($5) the baked pretzel with dip. It was yummy, I think I didn't even share and ate both pretzels, if I remember right. Was quite intoxicated. I got the Crock pot ($18). Although really good, not really worth the money. It's got some sausage, duck and beef in a stew with potatoes and gnocchi. It's super filling. But i don't think it was worth $18 at all. On the other hand, AT got the sweet potato lamb and fig sheppard's pie, toped with gouda. Not only was it unique, it was extremely tasty and only $13. Comes with a salad. Others got the Chicken and Leek pot pie. I think it was tasty, but awfully filling and the ladies dining with me had to take half home. We didn't order dessert, but the birthday girl got a nice warm chocolate molten cake. Great size, and very warm. I would recommend. As for drinks, the pints are about $6.40, but they do have 3 flights of half pints for $8. Tasty, but I was annoyed that my fruity beer was switched for mill st's god awful lemon tea beer. As a light weight, I liked being able to try them all and that's all the drinks i needed. The only issue was that at the end of the evening, we wanted a change of environment for another drink, but there's nothing else in the area (except Sterling room, but at 9pm, the evening hadn't begun and cover was $20). Balzac's and Soma had closed, and there was no where else to go. I mean, i guess people would be coming here! Free parking on Parliament Street, free after 4pm on weekends, and 6pm on weekdays. read more

Um can I say their food was WAY better than expected? We came by on a Tuesday after work (6pm) five of us and even though they didn't have a table that would fit us at the moment, they went to re-arrange tables to accommodate us. When we sat down, our server informed us that they launched their new menu today and told us about a few specials/popular items. I asked her if she had any beer on nitro and was pleased to know that they do, two types - Mill St. Cobblestone on tap and another one but it's a porter in a can. She gave us a few minutes to go through the menu and came back with samples of the stout on nitro for us (thank you) and we ordered two pitcher of it. We might have gotten a little ahead of ourselves and ordered too much food but fuck it. We got a poutine (the guys loved it - I thought it was alright), loaded nachos with grilled chicken (the guac was the best part but overall it was very yummy), spicy chipotle burger with sweet potato fries (burger was done perfectly - juicy tender meaty), chicken pot pie with caesar salad (made with kale) (it was good but not this is the shit good) and the brewer's platter - assorted cuts, montery jack, blue cheese, goat cheese, fig and bread (I could have done without this one). The server was really nice, checked in on us and cleaned up dishes to get them out of the way. I was pleasantly surprised with everything here because I usually do not expect much at pubs/breweries/chain restaurants but this one exceeded my expectations and my whole party agreed as well. Good job Mill Street, we'll be back for more stout on nitro! read more

Think this place got a bad wrap before it tweaked it's menu but overall I was satisfied with my flight and food. Located in the distillery district Mill Street has a wide variety of small brew offerings across the spectrum from ipa to heavy porters and stouts. They also offer micro batches of beers that make for a very different place take on some traditional brews. I opted for a flight and the holiday elk mixed burger. It came with a side salad and had a huge slab of thick cut bacon on top which was further enriched in a maple glaze. Delicious and worth the calories. The beers were good as well. Didn't dislike anything on my flight that mostly was suggested by the bar tender. The service was great overall and the food came out quick. Overall enjoyable spot if a bit on the touristy side, it definitely is a place to catch while in town. read more

Sat at the bar, ok service. Bartender needed help he was al alone & it was busy so he was filling server orders and trying to keep up with a full bar of like 20 people. We got flights & tried several different beers, all were good! Calamari is excellent. Knocking off stars for the burger, I was excited but it came out like a small hockey puck...bummer. Fries were cold another bummer. Onto the dessert oh yum! Great atmosphere! read more

The review is an update since I have tried the food here as well now. On a weekday we ended up here for a friend's Birthday. Even though we had made a reservation several days in advance it was no where to found initially. We were obviously upset as they said they wait time would be well over an hour since we were a somewhat larger group. When we pressed a bit and found out there are two lists for reservation somehow!! and they hadn't coordinated so hence the mix up. Anyway odd mistake on their behalf as we did get our table eventually. After dropping off the menu the server just disappeared. We had to flag her to get our orders in. Then again a disappearing act was performed by the server with no follow up for refills. By the time we got our orders in we were starving. I hadn't read good things about food here so decided to play it safe and stuck to a the Lane Burger. Other diners ordered a mix of fish n chips, chicken and salmon dishes. The food took its time coming in. The main attraction of beer which brings one here isn't the same as the Beer Hall next door. They didn't have the Minimus Dubbel that I liked (I don't like Mill's style of beers so I am not a fan) The burger arrived, though it looked hefty was bone dry as it was way overcooked and there wasn't enough fat content in the pattie. The beef rib and blue cheese didn't save it. The fries weren't good either. I would say very poor food for a pub. The setup though very nice doesn't go far enough to compensate for the weak food here. Poor service doesn't help much either. The location will keep bringing people here so I guess they don't need to improve otherwise this is a sorry excuse for a pub. read more

Went during the Christmas Market and had a fun time here. Sat at the bar and had great / timely service. We were able to sample a few different beers before deciding on one and the bartender was spot on with her recommendation - the IPA. The food was excellent - bratwurst, giant soft pretzel and French fries. The bratwurst was a little dry but still very good and the highlight was the pretzel - it was exactly what you want a soft pretzel to taste like with solid dipping sauces. Yes it's touristy and loud, but if you know that going in, you'll be fine. Good food / beer in a fun setting in a cool part of Toronto read more

We've been there for having lunch. Great location in the Historic Distillery District. We had a nice waiter who recommended us the super special delicious Poutine. And it was very delicious! The flight of 4 beers was great to split (better split on a hot summer day...) and some nice selection of beer Quite expensive but worth it. read more

5/24/2015 Drove up to Toronto from Rochester, NY back in spring to see my friend and decided to stop by for a brunch. Had some beers and my life changing food called "Poutine." Basically this is a fries, ham, pickles, and other good stuff loaded on the plate. How can you not like it?? Poutine pairs very well with beers. It's too bad I wasn't around for long to try other food this place offers. Until next time! :) read more

I had a great time at Mill St with a friend visiting from out of town! It was my first time eating/drinking here, although I had heard lots of great stuff about it before. The beer was delicious, the service and atmosphere was friendly and fun, the food was slightly overpriced for pub fare but still pretty good. Compared to the other very expensive distillery district restaurant Mill st is much cheaper. I had no complaints and my friend only had one: The drinks are too expensive unless you're buying beer. Her tiny martini was over $10. My suggestion, since drink-wise Mill St is known for their beer, don't come here for anything but! You can buy cases of the beer they make in house! read more

I had the flight, which was great. My husband had the rantzer, it was like a shandy. We also had the wings, which were pretty good. The most tasty thing we had was the green beans, yummy. They are browned and have a type of soy sauce that is delicious. Sit outside if you can. read more

My family and I were in the Distillery District the other day and despite raining we had a pretty good time. Kind of sucks that everything except the restaurants close at 5pm on the weekends. Because of that we ended up having an early dinner. Since it was my parent's first time at the Distillery, I felt it would be appropriate to eat at the brewery! Mill St. Extra Special Bitter (ESB): I generally don't prefer darker beers because they are so bitter, but this one wasn't too bad. I'm no professional beer connoisseur, but I thought the beer was alright. Could've been a a little colder. Brewmaster's Mussels: I really liked this dish despite it's small size. The mussels were steamed with some Belgian beer, chorizo, and some other stuff. The beer flavour wasn't overpowering, but strong enough to know its there. The chorizo gave it a nice flavouring. Distillery Burger: My sister ordered this burger and she had quite a bit of difficulty finishing it. Not because it didn't taste good, but because it was just too much food! The burger came topped with a BBQ sauce made from Mill St. Coffee Porter beer, swiss cheese and crispy fried onions. Really good burger! Meat was juicy and tender. I really liked that the burger came with and egg bread burger bun, because I think it just tastes so much better than regular buns.The fries reminded me of new york fries, and came fresh and hot. Perfect compliment to the burger. Traditional Roast Beef Dinner: A lot of us ended up ordering this because it sounded so appetizing from the menu! It comes with some steamed vegetables, mash potatoes, yorkshire pudding, and a side of horseradish. I ordered my roast beef medium rare, and found they gave me more of a medium. Despite being a little more cooked than I would've liked it, it was still a very good roast beef. Make sure you come on Sundays after 5pm if you ever want to try this. That is the only time they serve it each week! Usually my parents don't care much for eating pub food, but they actually said they didn't mind this meal. I guess you can't go wrong with decent food at very decent prices. I really want to come here again in the day time because you get a free brewery tour with your meal! read more

Nice selection of beers in the distillery district. We sampled many beers on tap. The staff was super friendly. We visited this establishment as part of a beer tour. I highly recommend the tour run by Urban Adventures. The tour guide literally wrote the book on Canadian craft beer. read more
