Highly recommend a visit to Bellwoods Brewery. The beer is incredible, so unique and tasteful. The atmosphere is amazing. However, its usually always busy so prepare to wait in line, or show up early!
Fantastic microbrewery! Their beer selection is quite impressive. I had the Goblin Sauce (quite good) and the Witchshark (outstanding!!!). The service was great and the ambiance warm and lovely. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in Toronto! Double 5 stars all the way across the sky!
Bellwoods has become such a staples of the west end community. It is truly part of the landscape that makes up the unique and amazing atmosphere of Ossington. I love the bottle shop and the food is amazing. The reason for 3 stars vs 5 is that there has been a slight attitude problem whenever I've been to the bottle shop.the individual who had helped me always made it feel like he was doing me some type of favour for being there and I felt a bit devalued as a customer. Does this make me think twice about going to he bottleshop - yes.if I'm in a bind would i stop ityes.
Let me start by saying that Bellwoods is one of the best beers that I’ve had and that it is a fantastic establishment bonding a great community. Here’s why it’s a 2 star rating to me; as we waited in a fairly short line for around 30 minutes, we watched what I’d call musical chairs. The hostess, who was lovely by the way, was shuffling patrons from inside to outside continuously throughout our wait in line which not only made our wait much longer but also seems so inefficient. At times, large tables sat empty as staff coordinated the movement of people. Like I said, Bellwoods is great and I highly recommend going but they may want to consider changing their seating practices.
This place is awesome! My two friends and I had an amazing experience. Our server Laura was so friendly and made us feel really welcomed. She had lots of knowledge on all the beers available - which were amazing (I recommend the Jelly King!) and the food options were really great as well. Very welcoming and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend everyone out there to check this place out!
Great location, great beer, large bottle list from various breweries but you'll pay a large premium for them.
Has a bottle shop attached that generally has several options, as well as some merchandise.
Food is snack oriented but good. Gets busy, you're best off coming at opening if you want a spot on the patio.
Favorite brewery I have been to (alongside Exchange in Niagara). Great staff, and the food is impeccable. Try the flatbread & veggie dip. Moreover, really high quality beers. This is a place worth the price and wait.
Started our tour of some breweries in TO here on Sat.,arrived at 1230 and no problem getting seated at the bar. Friendly bar staff, great decor and great beer. No growlers but got some bottles at the shop to take home. Definitely going back and try food next time, it looked awesome!
There are many places that I won't line up for BUT this is my one exception. Such a cool place to sit down for a tasty craft beer or two. I'd also recommend trying their food, the Rye Berry Salad is quite nice! Usually pretty busy on weekends, but like I said it's worth the wait in line!
Beer is absolutely top notch and the food is surprisingly fantastic as well! Service was also impressive.
EDIT: Managed to make it over here from Ottawa a second time. Can confirm, first time was not a fluke. This place is the real deal. If you're reading this, stop, and head over there as soon as possible.
Some of the most delicious and inspiring beer I encountered on my visit to Toronto - a must-visit for beer lovers in the city (especially those looking for balanced sours and new-school IPAs).
Great food and excellent beers on tap - best brewpub in the city! Though it's a small venue, it's pretty raucous and a great place for lively conversations. I arrived at 6:30 on a Sarurday evening and waited 15 minutes to be seated, and there was a line the rest of the night, so be sure to plan your visit (and prepare to wait) accordingly.
My favorite brewery in Toronto.
The staff are great, the beer is probably the best I've ever had and the whole vibe is just amazing.
The "Bring Out Your Dead" is unbelievably awesome.
Pros: Amazing food. Great selection of local beers. Friendly atmosphere. One of my favorites in the city! The patio is usually open, even in the winter.
Cons: Limited seating, so go early if you don't want to wait. I have waited for over an hour for a table of three.
