    After arriving in town for a week long travel this was my first stop. I was traveling alone so sat at the bar. The service was decent and some of the bartenders were more attentive than others. While in Canada I was searching for poutine and found a great one here. Serving was too large for just one but tasted great. Neat atmosphere and would be fun for a larger group looking for traditional pub fare.

    Light and dark duo $7

    Went on a Sunday afternoon to watch the Jays game. The place was half empty, with classic rock playing in the background--super chill vibe. They had three different sports events on big screens all around, so it was easy to catch whatever you're into. There was also a "Light(PBR) & Dark( Sleeman honey brown?)" duo special for $7, which was a nice touch. If you're looking to watch your favorite sports in a laid-back setting, check out the Loose Moose!

    Boy, is this a great place! The ambiance is that of a giant sports pub, with lots of fun Blue Jay fans lining the seemingly endless bar. Hubby and I found seats somewhere in the middle and enjoyed our first Canadian poutine (just cheese and gravy). It was a very good, and stick-to-your-ribs kinda food. I don't remember the bartender's name, but she was very nice and hustled to keep all the patrons happy. If I found myself in Toronto again, I would definitely return to watch a game there with some Mill Street beers!

    Chicken Avocado Club Sandwich, Sweet potato fries
    Haylee M.

    VERY UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD! We just randomly happened to come to dinner to this place with a friend because it was walkable from the apartment we were at. A real hidden gem here! Pineapple Paradise Cocktail (Malibu, Soho Lychee Liqueur, pineapple, lime) was absolutely delicious. It was like juice where you don't even taste the alcohol! A dangerously good drink haha. The Woody Burger (ouble stacked beef patties, BBQ brushed, American cheese, bacon, really special sauce, caramelized onion, served on bacon focaccia) - Husband ordered this because it just sounded so yum! I what have usually asked to replace the beef with chicken, and didn't usually order beef burgers, but OH MY! Such a delicious burger! The beef and sauce and onions and everything went so well together. Very creative focaccia as well! A very large burger too. Side House Salad with the burger was Huge! Places usually skimp out on the portion or size when it comes to side salads but this was really good! So large! And the dressing was delicious! Chicken Avocado Club Sandwich - Friend ordered this and said it was yum! Not too big a portion size here, but yum. Sweet Potato Fries on the side were flavorful too. Not super crispy as normal fries are, but it's like you keep reaching for more, haha. 1lb Award Winning Chicken Wings (Garlic Chili) - Husband and friend shared this and devoured it! I only tried the sauce and it was actually so good! Med-East Crunch Salad (Mixed greens, chickpea, carrot, red & green pepper, cucumber, grape tomato, radish, crispy corn tortilla, cilantro, cumin & paprika vinaigrette) - This was my order. What a DELICIOUS salad! I asked for dressing on the side and added only about 1 tsp and 1tsp of the dressing form the house salad. Combination was lovely! Overall a really filling and delicious salad. Also got the grilled chicken on the side and the meal was perfect!

    After a few hours at the hockey Hall of Fame, my wife and I needed to go somewhere for a bite to eat. Traffic in Toronto is horrible! Parking is worse! We were driving, trying to find parking and then came to this spot with a parking garage really close so it was the winner! So happy we did choose them because the food was outstanding! We ordered their guacamole and chips. Probably some of the best guacamole and salsa we've had in sometime! The chips were fresh and delicious as well! For our mains, my wife ordered appetizer sliders while I ordered their barbecue bacon burger upgrading to their Parmesan garlic fries. The barbecue bacon burger was huge and delicious! Unfortunately, the Parmesan garlic fries were not. My wife ate about half of her sliders, they were about what you would expect. Overall, four stars, pretty darn good! I wish we could highlight one server for the outstanding service, but as we were sitting at the bar, there were several servers taken care of us. Each and everyone absolutely great! We walked in and 15 minutes later the place was packed! Obviously, it's well known and liked!

    Wed night walk-in and we decided to sit at the bar to grab a quick bite and libations. Amy at the bar was cute and friendly and we stuck with local lagers which included Canadian Lager and Moosehead Lager - both really easy to drink. For food, I got the Spicy Mexican Rice Bowl ($21.21) with Tofu tossed in Buffalo sauce - Amy's recommendation to toss the Tofu with something, and that did the magic! Big portion size, but good on flavor. I couldn't finish the plate though! Noise levels got louder as the night progressed and it was kind of difficult to have a conversation while seated at the bar. Perfect place if you are looking for some good drinks and bar eats!

    A good bar to have some drinks and bar food right outside of Union Station! This spot is conveniently located outside of Union Station right when you get out. Is it the best food you can get? Short answer is no. But when you're at a sports bar wanting some affordable drinks and fried foods, this is not a bad option at all! Servers here are nice and quick to get you what you need. Bar food is great, especially the nachos, as it was easy to have for the table to share. Ambiance is what you'd expect at a sports bar, loud and fun! Would definitely come here again for a quick drink and bite before an event.

    Yes - they do have a moose!

    We were in Toronto for a few days after going across Canada on the VIA Railway Canadian - great trip! It was chilly and raining tonight and we headed out for dinner. The Loose Moose looked like a great place to grab dinner, drinks and watch the hockey game. We were so right! After ordering drinks, Megan (aka 330M) came over to get our food order and she was high energy and we could tell we were going to have fun. She took our orders and got our drinks. Each time she came back we had some laughs. My wife's Mexican bowl came back minus the requested chicken. Megan took care of this in no time and comp'd it for the mistake. WOW - you don't see that kind of service any more. Our food (mine was a chicken avocado club) was hot and so good. We opt'd for the sweet potato fries and Megan said it was a good choice. She was so right - they were excellent. Megan and her partners kept our drinks filled and made sure everything was great. The bar was packed with sports fans and folks coming in out of the cold but we never felt crowded. You could tell this is a popular bar with the locals - always a good sign. Thanks to Megan and the Staff, we had a fun time and awesome meal. If we weren't heading home tomorrow, we would definitely go back again. We highly recommend the Loose Moose for its great food, drinks and Staff. Cheers, L&J Henderson NV USA

    Poutine
    Regis H.

    Had a burger and some poutine. The burger was not very good. Poutine was fine. Service was good.

    Kaylee K.

    Had a recommendation from a baseball book to stop here before the Blue Jays game so decided to check it out. Great building, plenty of space, very industrial feel. Lots of seating inside and large bar. We ordered chips and guac and beers. Pricier end for a drink, but they had a few specials (unfortunately the beer on special I wanted was kicked ... ) but service was great and very friendly. Check them out!

    Nathan B.

    Food was good. A little better than basic bar food. Our server was fantastic though. He forgot to put our drink order in but totally owned it, apologized, rushed to get them and took an item off our tab. That is great service and his positive attitude was infectious.

    Chimichurri Steak Sandy
    Kami H.

    Drinks - They were out of the 2 drinks I wanted to try: the Pineapple Paradise and the Gummi Worm. I ended up getting a soda instead of having to pick another drink. Food - Ordered the Chimichurri Steak Sandy and the Loaded Poutine. Steak Sandy was under the Big A$$ Sandwiches section, but it's more of a medium sized sandwich (think 2 sliders big). Thin piece of steak, but the aioli is flavorful. Loaded Poutine is big and shareable or can be someone's entree. Service - We were sat right away. Server was friendly. She made some recommendations for an alternate drink, but I didn't feel like trying those out. Atmosphere - Big place with an industrial feel. It's probably pretty busy on Fridays and Saturdays.

    This is our first time in Toronto and the first restaurant we hit up since it was close to our hotel ....and we happened to come here on the night of the Stanley cup game so it was LOUD! We had little kids with us too and I was worried that it would be too much of a bar scene. I'm not sure if there are just other way more amazing restaurants in town, but we thought everything here was excellent so I don't understand the low reviews. The staff was nice, and accommodating to our kids and the food was delicious!

    Great steak and an amazing garlic sauce!…read more I ordered the steak with fries and was really impressed with the steak. It was cooked to a perfect medium-rare -- nicely seared on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. The fries were also crispy and delicious. The real surprise for me, though, was the garlic sauce that came with them. It was so good that I decided to try it with my steak, and it paired incredibly well. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal! The mushrooms, unfortunately, were just okay. Considering how expensive they were, I didn't think they were worth the price and probably wouldn't order them again. Our waitress was friendly and pleasant, which we appreciated. However, she did forget to bring us water and takeout containers, so we had to remind her. It was a minor inconvenience, but it did take away a little from the overall experience. Overall, the steak, fries, and especially that garlic sauce made for a great meal. I'd definitely come back for the steak and fries!

The waiter came to take my order for food and asked if I had allergies. I said "Yes, seasonal but what would that have to do with my food order?" Waiter responded "food allergies" and I told him I did not have any. Same waiter comes back five minutes later with no drink and asks AGAIN for my food allergies, explaining that I have to tell him that I have one. I told him I don't again, to his irritation. 15 minutes later a woman comes over demanding the same. I calmly explained that the situation is weird and making me uncomfortable as I dont understand what is going on or why they are taking issue with me.

I loved every bite. My husband's chicken was crisp, crunchy and flavored fantastically. Highly recommend these items if you can still get them. Pours were plenty and I absolutely don't remember what I had but that's because I enjoyed one too many. They were all that good.

We ended up sitting at the bar since we were walk-ins. It is also a very low light restaurant, especially at night. so it might not be the best place for older adults or those who are visually impaired. Service was good, however, we were somewhat forgotten at times since we were tucked away in a dark corner. We ended up ordering the Truffle Fries, the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka pasta, the Korean Chicken, and the Vodka Pie. The truffle fries were crisp and plentiful. We added sausage to the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka pasta, and it was delicious paired with the pizza. The Korean Chicken were bite sized and flavourful as well. However, The vodka Pie haunts me in my dreams. I think I crave this pizza about every week. The pizza at King Taps has one of the best crusts I've ever had, and the vodka sauce is to die for. It's sad to know that this pizza will rotate out, I'd definitely try it before it leaves! I will be back for the Vodka Pie, mark my words!
