Dismal - poor service (I'm not expecting Michelin Star service) but at least circle back to see if I'd like a 2nd beer. Kitchen runner brought my meal - had to go to a wait station to get condiments. 3 bartenders too busy flirting/hanging with friends - never came back.

Good downtown location and for some reason there are usually seats here when the nearby bars like Kelly's Landing are full. Everything is pretty decent here in terms of service, food, and drinks. I was actually hungry when I came and so I had the chicken and waffle which was decent for pub food. I forgot which cocktails I had but I remember them being not bad either. It's a good spot to chill and hang out after work. read more

I had the Nashville Hot sandwich and it was quite good. Tender and crispy. Highly recommended. Fries were alright.

Cool bar. Really enjoyed the loaded poutine. The service was great as well. Very attentive staff.

On a recent visit to Toronto, family and I wanted to come here for beers and dinner, and overall, had a good experience! We came in around 5:30pm on a Friday and were immediately seated at a table in the front corner. The interior to this place was pretty cool with the bar towards the front, somewhat close to where we were, with plenty more tables in the back and the walls were wooden and fashioned with stuffed animal heads with plenty of TVs playing sports. At the start though, I wasn't very impressed with the service as our waiter came over and asked what drinks we wanted to start with, which we said water to start as we looked over the extensive beer list, but disappeared for almost 20 minutes and forget about our waters! We saw him chatting it up with another table for a good 10 minutes while others were being seated around us and taken care, one of these tables he took care of. He finally circled back around and he did apologize and brought our waters along with our beers right away. He also expedited our order of poutine, so he made up for it. So yes, we started off by splitting an order of the "Fully Loaded Poutine." These were soo good! The fries were thick cut and doused in gravy with more than enough cheese curds. I really enjoyed that extra flavor from the bacon, scallions, and dollop of sour cream though! This was listed under the "Fresh Cut Fries by the Pound" section on the menu and, no lie, this dish was a pound. The family and I had walked around Toronto all day so we were pretty hungry, but on any normal night, I think this would've been a meal all on it's own. As we devoured poutine, we each ordered a main dish, which came out to the table in about 15-20 minutes. I thought was pretty fast seeing as how busy this place was getting. I ended up ordering the "Baja Fish Sandwich" with a chopped Caesar salad as the side. Now, this sandwich is listed on the menu under a section titled 'Big Ass Sandwiches' and let me tell you, this thing lived up to it! I definitely needed two hands to eat this. The sandwich itself was phenomenal! I was so impressed by the ratio of beer batter to haddock: it was covered and cooked perfectly and the flavor of both batter and haddock was awesome! The coleslaw, cilantro, and feta cheese added an awesome flavor, crunch, and kick to the sandwich and the guacamole on the bottom bun provided a bit of creaminess and balance. Even the side Caesar was pretty good. Now, I was able to finish the sandwich but in a surprise turn of events, I couldn't finish the Caesar as I was way too full, at the point where it was a little too full but I really enjoyed that sandwich. Overall, we had a pretty good experience! The beer selection and food were phenomenal but the service was a little iffy. I admit our waiter made up for it and finished strong but first impressions are important... Anyway, I would definitely stop here again. read more

The Loose Moose is essentially a staple amongst Toronto sports fans, sporting enough TV's to watch a game from just about any seat in the restaurant or the bar. Situated not far from Rogers Centre, it's a good spot to get dinner before the game, or a drink with some of the local fans after. That being said, after Blue Jays games, it can get packed out quickly. I've been to the Loose Moose twice, and both times I was incredibly satisfied with the food, staff, and environment. All around, it's about what you'd expect from a sports bar: A wide selection of finger foods (Including unique varieties of burgers, nachos, chicken wings, and tacos) as well as a long list of beers ranging from the largest breweries in the world to the local craft varieties. Their fully loaded poutine was delicious, and big enough to split between a few people while you wait for your entree. For the main course I got the Gouda and Brisket Burger: A certainly unique option, but it was incredibly good (especially if you prefer a more smoky flavor). All in all, the Loose Moose is good. The prices can feel a bit high for a sports bar and grill (the most basic hamburger on the menu is $15 CAD) but for the excellent location and long list of options on the menu, it's worth stopping by. read more

Visited On: August 14, 2018 Meal: Lunch Would I Return: Maybe Ordered: -Curry Shrimp Rice Bowl Thoughts I got the lunch special curry shrimp rice bowl. My dish consisted of sauteed shrimp, butter masala sauce, mint chutney, cilantro, rice, arugula, radish, carrot, cabbage, crisp taro, almonds, sesame, raita and papadum. The papadum was stale and not edible, but the shrimp was delicious. Overall, it was a good bowl and I enjoyed it. read more

Exactly what you'd want from a sports bar! Tons of TV's, great food, cold beer. The Loose Moose is an awesome spot to watch the game and hangout with friends. Both times I've visited here the servers have been super friendly. You can't go wrong with the fully loaded poutine as an appetizer or The Big Bird for your main. Southern fried chicken, waffles, fries, coleslaw...prepare to leave here in a food induced coma. read more

The space is good and the bartender was friendly but my sandwich was definitely meh. I walked over for lunch on a weekday since the name is great and it was close to my conference hotel. I ordered the avocado, brie, tomato and bacon sandwich but asked that they hold the bacon. My bartender said that she ordered it that way all the time. Good sign, right? Well... the bread was cold (maybe it had been frozen) and was way too thick for the fillings. While the avocado was plentiful, the brie was very skimpy. I ended up eating the veg & brie and abandoning the blah bread. My side caesar was good. The did have a lovely selection of bourbons & whiskys and my old fashioned was fine. So perhaps just drinking here is the best bet. read more

I don't think I would be back to The Loose Moose for their Live entertainment, their food, their ambiance. But I know I will definitely be back for some beers. The draft beer list is impressive. Unibroue Oast House (My new favourite brewery no in LCBO yet) Silversmith Great Lakes Muskoka Lakes of Bays Cheshire Valley Junction Kensington Cameron's Mill Street Hop City Steam Whistle Sampling sizes are available from $1.15 if you not sure what you want to drink. And if your friend still cannot find something they want to drink, there's always Coors Light and Canadian (no judgement here!) or try one of the beer cocktails? I doubt I want to come back on a Saturday night. This place does have a "meat" market vibe and I prefer a biermarkt vibe. Food is a lot better than what I would expect. The Kentucky Dry Rub Wings were juicy and tasty. The garlic fries a little soggy but great drunk food. For a group, automatic gratuity of 18% is applied. But most of the people in our group has a little too much to drink and tip on top the tip and kept thinking why their drinks and food were so expensive.. but more is better than less? The space is huge and they takes reservations, so always a good back up if you have a big group on weekend. Cheers! read more

After what seemed like the longest day every at the AERA conference we just wanted something close and tasty. I'm so glad we came here. It was a little too loud for in-depth conversations but the food was amazing. Probably one of the best places we ate in the area. Our waitress was really friendly, fast, and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I almost wish i went back there cause i knew it would be good before we left. Prices weren't too bad for that area either. I can imagine it gets crazy when games are going but i would recommend it any time. read more

Came here to watch the Raptors game as it was listed as one one of the better bars to watch the game. Someone called to confirm my reservations and I requested to be seated to be with other Raptors fans. When we got there the server tried to sit us in some random corner as she's trying to fill up the crappier seats in the place. I obviously said something and she reluctantly seated us somewhere else. Didn't know what the fuss was considering the place wasn't packed. Unfortunately, it did not deliver as an exciting bar to watch Raptors games. We ordered their platter of appies and it was pretty tasty. Definitely worth it and great if you want a bit of everything. Came with chips and a dip, sliders, fries, and fried dill pickles. Saving grace for this place was their $4 Caesar's on Sundays. Pretty decent and super cheap. Will we come back? Probs not... read more

Ate at The Loose Moose primarily because we thought the name was funny but it turned out to be some excellent food as well. Had the fried calamari as an appetizer and it was top notch. I've had many variations of mustard aioli with calamari and theirs was one of the best. If I had known how much calamari there was going to be I probably would have ordered something smaller for dinner! Being ugly Americans we thought the entrees were on the small size, but realistically they were the perfect proportion without being too filling. My husband got the Chicken Club House sandwich and loved the chipotle mayonnaise. I had the Crispy Beer Battered Fish and Chips and it was delicious! The fish was some of the freshest I've ever been served and the fries have a seasoning on them which made them delicious. Drinks wise they had a nice selection, but for a pub I thought they could have more beers. Our waitress recommended two different local beers for us to try and they were both great (Steamwhistle and Mill St. Organic). I liked the decor and seating arrangement as well. Bonus points for having free wi-fi! read more

On a terribly cold, windy day of visiting a trade show, my friend and I were starving. We had taken the GO Train in and were looking for something close to Union Station....and there it was, The Loose Moose. We (literally) ran in and hoped they could seat us. It was packed! Luckily, their bench style seating allowed us to squeeze in. It's HUGE and perfectly designed for a fun, pub atmosphere. Hell, even the bathrooms were fun; random antique stall doors, random sinks, even random taps! Not to mention, the beer selection was fantastic! It's never too cold for beer! The menu has a good variety; there is something for everyone. Some of the meals had fun names. You don't make friends with salad, you say? What if it's called a Big Bitchin' Green? Definitely sounds better than 'salad.' I went with the Avocado, Tomato, Brie and Bacon and my friend went with the Classic Burger. I couldn't believe how much avocado was on this sandwich; I could barely take a bite! To top off this wonderful creation, it was on a BACON foccacia. It had strips of bacon baked INTO the bread. Amazing. The burger was juicy and the toppings were fresh. The fries were pretty good too. The beer just topped it all off! Great location, great service, great food and beer. I would absolutely go back. read more

After Gord and I left the Toronto Rock game this afternoon, we walked to the Loose Moose. It was fairly busy and we were seated at a long communal table with some others. We were feeling a bit snacky. I ordered Jerk Dark Rum wings (eight for $12). They were good ... sweet with a kick of heat. Gord ordered fish tacos and liked them. Caylene was our server and took good care of us. read more

Why do people go so crazy about this spot? Service is absolute crap here and the food isn't as good as the menu makes it sound. Wowowow just because you've been around Toronto for so damn long doesn't mean you're such a cool spot. Let me tell you- this place is just a spot full of old buddies catching up before the game, during the game or after work. It's such a 'bro' spot, and I say that in the most 'roll-my-eyes' kind of way. Our server seemed genuinely annoyed that we were there and getting anything seemed to take forever. It took me literally 20 minutes to ask another glass of water from this other server, who actually rolled her eyes when I asked and walked away without a response. Well sorry I didn't want to bother you either, but literally our server only served tables of dudes AROUND us and ignoring us. Even when I was trying to get my bill, it didn't come before I had to leave. I had to give my $ to my friend so he could pay for me because I had to catch my damn train. How the hell does it take you over 15 min to bring me my bill?? The food is not anything special, literally food I can get anywhere else. Just because the menu is 'quirky' and has 'bitchin' written all over it, does not make it delicious OR food that people go there especially for. I'm not trying to be dramatic but you could not drag my dead corpse into this place again. read more

It's pretty clear that the Loose Moose isn't looking to attract customers based on the quality of its food, as the joint, which sure seems like an appealing place to grab a drink (or three), is cranking out meals that are passable at best and inedible at worst. I was tempted to order a hamburger, but at that moment, the last thing I felt like was a dry burger and I feared that the Moose's product might not be up to snuff, so I instead decided to take a safer approach by ordering the Chicken Avocado Club ("seasoned grilled chicken breast on toasted sourdough with smoked bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce, sundried tomato aioli.") It's fine. The bread tasted fresh and the components all worked well together, although the chicken was a little dryer than I would've preferred. But the generous helping of avocado in there, combined with the aioli, helped moisten the whole thing up, to be sure. I also got a mixed greens salad on the side, and it was surprisingly tasty (and well prepared). My dining companions both got burgers, and it turns out my premonition of a moisture-free concoction was 100% on the nose. Ah, well. read more

Great service.. great food! I only wish the fries were not as salty. For some it might have been just right, I'm just not big on salt at all. But loved everything about this place Great service, atmosphere and super good food! read more

Enjoyed the Loose Moose before going to a concert at the ACC. Live entertainment and high top seating plus a lot of seating upstairs and downstairs. Service was average but luckily had a good server who was chatty and friendly with my friend and I. The best part of this pub - the beer selection. There are definitely more than the average beers here. They offer pint size (18oz), mini pitcher (32oz) and pitcher 60oz). Ordered the Grilled Cheese and The Pig & the Egg. Grilled cheese was tasty as it had macaroni inside smothered with melted mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Very filling but delicious. Fries were average - nothing to rave about. The Pig & the Egg - it was huge. Very filling and mixed with different flavors from the cheese to bacon and the fried avocado. It is a unique but delicious combination. I wouldn't mind coming back to enjoy the atmosphere with a couple of beers and good company. read more

3 stars for the food, but 2 stars for the service. I've come here twice now, and overall both experiences have been quote good. Most recently, I came here on a Saturday night with some friends to have some beer and wings while watching the NBA All Star Dunk Contest. The Nachos were tasty! - super loaded with cheese, the selection of Craft Beers was great!, and the Chicken Wings were delicious! The only gripe I have is that the service was not great, it was honestly really hard to get a hold of our server, and when we did, she often forgot items. In addition to that, we had a secondary server who actually brought us our drinks, so it was a bit confusing who to ask for what. The most frustrating part, was that since we had a party of 8 , we had an automatic gratuity, which is normally fine, but when your service is poor, it's hard to accept that you're giving a decent tip for a below average service. read more

Great ambiance and service, but portions are excessively large and overpriced. Very good nachos. We also got the Hot Jalapeño burger, Mushroom Lover burger, and Buffalo Fried Chicken sandwich, and all three were dry, salty, and relatively mediocre. Both the portions and prices could definitely stand to be decreased. Generally would not recommend. read more

I suppose it was everything I expected of a downtown sports bar so close to the convention center and stadium. Still, it's a bummer when a place with potential is so underwhelming. As many have said below... 1. Very nice beer selection. But not so impressive that it's the only place in town with one 2. Very mediocre food priced insultingly high. We had 2 beers, a diet Coke and the 5 cheese pirogies (criminal what they did to those pirogies) and with a 20% tip (the server was nice enough but very slow), the total was $45 Canadian. I get you're downtown and playing to the tourists and sports crowd but c'mon...that's just wrong. Hate it when a place could go for great but settles for average in the pursuit of a few extra bucks. read more

Came here for NYE & ate at the bar! Bartenders are really attentive in terms of filling our water and getting us drinks and putting in our orders! I love that! Basic service that so many places out there does not even meet this minimum requirement! We ordered the haddock tacos and dirty bird! This place is also related to Dukes refresher on Gerrard! A huge beer menu, lots of craft beer! The fish taco was AMAZING! All the flavours, spiciness of the sauce, tango was of the coleslaw mixed together just explodes in ur mouth! The dirty bird was also incredible, deep fried chicken was delish!! So tender and juicy and the batter was similar to southern chicken! All that was missing was waffles! The finale was the donuts with bacon, no words to describe the yumminess of the whole sweet and savoury!! Will definitely be back to try the other tacos and 20 something craft beer we have yet to try! read more

Ate at this place at two different instances and the food was exceptionally great, both times. The service is very friendly and quick.

It has a very chilled out vibe and is a great place to hang out for an extended period. It's definitely one of the best sports bars in Toronto. Will definitely go here again, the next time I'm in town!! read more

A more-than-decent spot to pre-game before an NBA game. It's got a wide menu with a lot of local, craft, and international beers on tap. This is a pub through and through. Lots of the TVs around so you can always catch the game. The interior is all about that wood design to make it warm and welcoming. It can get loud, it can get really crowded on game nights, and it can be the start of a fun night. We decided to share three appetizers to set the stage for the night. We had a plate of nachos that was generous with the cheese and toppings, the fried pork and pickles were juicy and crunchy, and the poutine was just done simply with crispy fries, lots of curds, and a pile of gravy to melt it all together. It didn't have a lot of frills and it's not needed when you need food/energy to balance out the pints and pints of alcohol. I would consider making this my go-to spot for a meet-up spot in the future. read more

Nice spot. Close to everything. Great selection of beer. Good food. Always busy, but the place is huge, so you shouldn't have a problem getting a seat.

This place is a must check out if you're out with the boys (or girls) for the night. read more

If I could give this place a 3.5 I would, but since I can't, I've got to (sadly) round this down to a 3. There's nothing WRONG with this place - the food is good, the beer selection is quite decent, and the location is great. But the good food is above-averaged priced, and the beer selection is more extensive elsewhere for about the same price. Definitely don't avoid this place, but maybe don't make a special trip here. Ambiance is good, if loud-ish music is your thing (I love it, so I do mean this as a positive). I had the cauliflower app - tasty, with a bit of a kick. If you don't mind splurging on apps, give it a shot. read more

I saw The Loose Moose on the map and knew I wanted to come here! I walked over after visiting the CN Tower around 1pm. I loved the warm interior above street level and all of the different beer options on tap. I sat at the bar & had a Canadian beer and watched a women's curling tournament on the big TV. The bartender offered me a menu that had some extremely appealing lunch specials listed, so I ordered the Canadian bacon BLT with poutine (duh). It came out swiftly and was really delicious. I was full of beer and couldn't finish my lunch, so they gave me a little take away container! I enjoyed my visit to The Loose Moose very much! read more

So this is definitely a 4-5 star place to drink beer and have plenty of seats to choose from and about a three star for the food so rounding up to 4 because the beer selection is quite impressive and the service was spot on. They have a very large bar that even juts out in a section to fit even more seats kind of lock a strip club stage...so I've heard. They also have some very large table so large groups are not a problem. The food on the other hand was disappointing and for one common reason. The French fries simply under cooked in the middle and not crispy. It seems like they forgot about the par cooking part and just hit them with the high heat. My colleague and I shared the buffalo chicken poutine. It was pretty good but neither of us could really eat the fries. My entree was the fish and chips. Fish had a panko type crust where I'd normally prefer a light batter but it worked and was tasty. The "chips" on the other hand had the same problem. Ate half of one. Get a new fry cook and this place will be legit. read more

Watching the game tonight? The loose moose is a good place to watch with lots of space to lounge around while sipping a beer. Menu wise - there's not alot of vegetarian options. There's no vegetarian gravy for the poutine so I ended up getting fries and cheese, which was very weird. The fries were cut in weird sizes and some felt more burnt then others.

This is THE place to grab a brew and some food before a jays game. You will see much jays attire here if there is a game on. If you like a raucous and loud, energized atmosphere, go here! Food is OK. There are a lot of beers to choose from. Burgers are plentiful but the patties I got on my classic burger are not the fat juicy kind that I prefer. Strange thing - my waiter asked me what kind of beer I liked and dropped off random beers without even announcing what they were. The prime thing this place offers is its atmosphere.

I booked a reservation via open table to be well prepared for our visit to Toronto to see the Foo Fighters on Thursday July 12th. Very glad I did! When we arrived they were staying it could be an hour wait which worries me as we where running h 20mins late due to delayed flight. They where amazing and held our reservation :) I ordered the chicken club and my husband the chicken and waffles. My chicken club was delicious, but my husband found for the bottom of his waffle sandwich to be a little soggy. Beers!! The beers where delicious.so delicious that we returned for more beers and an appetizer to share Friday night. We ordered the sweet potato thang and found it to be greasy but delicious!

So much fun! After a LONG day's drive we needed something to eat and drink. It was a toss up from this Loose Moose or another bar next door. We hit up the Moose. Their guacamole is amazing. Their wings were excellent. I was almost sorry we didn't get two orders. :) I cannot do lots of beer anymore - my friends did - I stuck with Prosecco. Lots of ambiance lots of fun and it was clearly the start of a weekend on a Thursday night. So fun we ALMOST went back Friday night to see if we could catch the Buckeye game we loved it that much!
