Also had the bangers and mash. Mashed were tasty, not like from a box. The beans had a nice taste to it that I cannot pinpoint exactly what the flavour combination was, but it worked well. Went here when there was a live performer. Could get noisy. Some people dance in a small area by the door. The service could be better however.

Myself along with 3 family friends tried this place over the weekend after I had read positive…read morereviews about it and found ourselves in the area. None of us were overly-satisfied with the experience and I doubt any of us would return voluntarily. They do appear to have a nice patio which would seem nice in the summer; however, it's currently facing a construction zone that doesn't appear to be going anywhere soon. It labels itself as an English pub and they've done very nice things with the décor. I especially appreciate the rows of books at the back of the pub. There are numerous flat screen TVs distributed throughout the pub, playing various sports games/races. The servers are friendly and prompt, although, they asked a couple of questions indicating they weren't familiar with the menu. The atmosphere was pleasant and laid back, The menu has "traditional English fare" at traditional English prices. A typical entrée will cost between $12-$15. Their bar menu is more reasonable with beers ranging from $3-6. One friend has a gluten allergy and only had one option to choose from when picking a main. Thankfully, she was somewhat in the mood for salad but when asked how it was, she responded "it's lettuce." Not the best review of a dish I'd ever heard. The rest of us ordered traditional English classics. Two of the members in the party were very curious about the strange aftertaste left by the "bangers" in the bangers and mash. I must admit, I tried it and couldn't label the strange taste either. The fish and chips were decent but slightly over priced. The best part of that dish for me was the coleslaw of which I could have eaten that dressing all day. When time for coffee and dessert, this place lost another star or two. One person in our party wanted decaf (which they didn't have) and the one person who wanted dessert was underwhelmed by the ONE option available, a deep fried mars bar. Those who had regular coffee were satisfied with it's taste. However, the rest of us went to local Tim Hortons to satisfy our coffee and sweet tooth cravings after dinner. All in all, a lot of little things were wrong or missing that gave this place such a low rating. I don't believe any of us will be returning voluntarily in the future.

PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was constantly in the area all day throughout the entire 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked.

ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An elongated layout with two large bars, a ton of chairs/tables, and sidewalk seating, it felt cramped yet roomy enough to move around.

I took a seat at the bar and perused the menu, and eventually I opted for the 7 oz. Dodger Burger ("Served with fries"). It arrived a little while later and it's fine. It's exactly what you'd expect from an old-school joint like this: overcooked and loaded with unnecessary spices. But with the tasty, hot fries and fresh condiments, I actually wound up enjoying it a fair deal. It went really well with my beer, too. There's absolutely nothing hip or trendy about Artful Dodger, but if you're in the mood for a classic pub experience, look no further.

These were weird though. Not the Heinz British ones I'm used to. These were sweet like bush's. Not a fan of those. But the bangers and mash with gravy and sautéed onions were awesome. Great late night food. The fries were also hand cut and really good and fresh. The mash was house made and the bangers had a lot of flavor. Not traditional but at least they had out bubbly mini bottles. Which hit the spot too. Great little find around the corner from our hotel. They had a huge menu of American and English food.

I'm writing to share a very frustrating experience I had when picking up my fish and chips today at…read moreyour Bristol St location. I waited approximately 20 minutes in the pickup area. During that time, I made multiple attempts to get a server's attention, but staff consistently avoided eye contact and rushed past without acknowledging me. Eventually, I had to interject just to ask about my order, only to find out it had already been prepared and sitting off to the side the entire time. As a result, I stood there unnecessarily while my food was getting cold and by the time I got home, it was no longer enjoyable, and considered throwing it out. What's most frustrating is that this could have been resolved easily if even one staff member had acknowledged me and checked whether I was waiting for pickup. Instead, I was completely ignored despite standing directly in front of the pickup area, while other customers were being assisted. I understand it was busy due to Good Friday, and there were several other customers waiting. However, that makes it even more important to have a basic system in place, for example, having one staff member greeting customers, managing pickups, or clearly directing where to go. As a first-time customer, there was no clear process, no signage, and no way to tell whether my order was ready, which added to the confusion. I hope this feedback is taken seriously. A simple acknowledgment and clearer organization would have made a significant difference.

Then, just two days before Halloween, we suddenly received refunds and were told that they couldn't guarantee entry anymore because of the Blue Jays game. I understand things happen, but canceling right before a major event -- one people plan and buy tickets for well in advance -- is really disappointing and unfair. Now our entire group is stuck without plans since most other Halloween events are sold out or too expensive last-minute. We chose Belfast Love because it seemed organized and fun, but this whole situation feels really poorly handled. If you're going to sell tickets for an event, you should honor them -- not cancel on people days before. Definitely left a bad taste and made us hesitant to book anything here again
