We are a Nano brewery and taproom located in the heart of downtown Saskatoon. Our focus is on creating small batch, high quality brews to be enjoyed in our taproom or to-go. We’ve also got Dylan & Cam’s slinging delicious tacos alongside us.
The food is to die for! They have really good vegetarian/vegan options that actually taste good. I will be visiting this place every Stoon trip from now on.
Another great local brewery in the heart of downtown Saskatoon. We arrived and the atmosphere was great, staff were friendly and attentive and the food/beer were fantastic. A great selection of beer available, with a limited menu of tacos and other similar dishes. It's awesome to find more microbrewers in Saskatchewan.
Super tasty, our whole group loved our meal. Tasty, fresh, amazing service. Gluten free and vegan options and the meat was allegedly awesome too We saw a couple go on a first date here that was so cute and chickened out sending them a picture so if they want it posting here hehe
Shelter Brewing Company's birria tacos are like a fiesta in your mouth—spicy, cheesy, and worth hiding in a beer bunker for!
We were recommended this place for their food. I had the carnitas tacos which were good, I liked the flavor and appreciated that it doesnt come with avocado or a lot of heavy sauces (i just dont like avacado). My sister had the nachos, which she also enjoyed and had enough left to bring back to the hotel and eat later that night. To drink, i had a root beer, but my sister had the NE IPA and thought it was delicious. The enviroment is a lot of fun with modern decor and a spacious layout. The staff was friendly and patient with how long I took to order; I hadn't had the foresight to look at the menu before going. They have a QR link to the menu on each table, but also small printed menus at the bar just in case.
Awesome line-up of beverages! The west IPA and super Mosaic were the tables favorites. Great service. The building is on the louder side. We had the Chips and Gauc. Sooooo good! Awesome smokey salsa. Highly recommend it.
Very welcoming atmosphere! I asked one of the waitresses (she was great but didn’t get her name) why it’s called Shelter and she said so that people can COME AS THEY ARE, no judgement. It’s great if they truly believe and live like that! Their own craft was great and food hit the spot too! I had Al Pastor and my friend had a burrito, delicious 😋 Had really good conversations with waiters and waitresses, great team out there! 🤘 We kept chatting with Mackenzie that machine for paying kept timing out on us (need to change settings or get a new one) 😆 Awesome place, you will see me again!
They have great selection of small batch IPA’s that I really can’t get enough of. You’ll going to love the ambience of their space, it’s like hanging out to your hippie friend’s place and just want to get hammered all night. Don’t forget about Dylan n Cam’s tacos and chipsss! Great value for money and almost taste authentic. I keep on coming back here every Friday to end my week and get myself a growler fill or stay at their cozy place and grab a drink or two. Really glad Sask brewing game is getting better👌
One of my favorite places to go. Warm and inviting. Great combination of Interesting beer and normal beer. Tacos are amazing and hard not to have then attending.
The place is so good and tacos are delicious!
Great pub, delicious beers and nice little patio
Great place for tacos and a drink. Nice outdoor patio.
Good beta, fun crowd, great tacos.
love their tacos and great price point too!
Amazing tacos, but the nachos were mediocre at best, staff seemed inconvenienced but it was a Saturday night so they were pretty busy
Food wasnt bad, beer was good! My main complaint is the automatic 20% tip added to the bill when I walked up to the counter to order. And then was asked for a further tip on the debit machine on top of that. We walk up to the counter to order, get our own water from the fridge, at that point I hadnt received any service to base a tip on. Just add 20% to the prices on the menu instead of a surprise additional cost when you go to pay, just left a bad taste in my mouth, likely wont return.
This is the best tacos and burritos in the Province I am sure of it. 10/10 every time. I dont know what kind of witchcraft their doing in that kitchen, but I could eat their food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Duuuude!!!! Ohhh myy god. The food is SOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD. Ommgggg
Great little brewery! Pleasant staff and good beers.
One of the best breweries in Saskatoon! And the tacos are the best in the city!
The sweetest staff! What a nice vibe in there! Also beers are fabulous really great NE IPA, and if youre a meat eater you MUST try the quesabirria. It is amazing
Excellent service, great selection of beer and delicious food! I will definitely be back!
A unique concept in community seating. We experienced thus on a trip to Europe and it works beautifully there. Here in Sask though it has been a hard sell for any place that has tried it. Its nice to see it working here at Shelter. Wd need more of it. Good beers, super friendly staff and a great friendly atmosphere. We will be back.
Highly recommend. Great food, great beer, great spot, great people.
Great spot, good vibe, amazing staff. A must stop for great tacos and beer menu to suit anyone!!!!
Came here for my mom s birthday. The food we ordered was delicious, we had the chips with guac + salsa fresca, quesa birria tacos. It was to die for. Staff was awesome, friendly and checked on us often. Cool atmosphere, very well decorated. Looking forward to next time.
Nice place. Good service. Good beer. Not a lot of character inside the building.
Excellent food and drinks
Dylan and can make the best tacos in the city hands down! Wish it was a kid friendly establishment, so we could come eat in.
Delicious food! Ordered the Birria Burrito with their hot sauce and 2 Carnitas tacos and a Papas taco. Had 2 of the Brown Ale with the meal. Service was awseome!
What a great atmosphere, friendly staff and great selection. If may not be the biggest selection but its quality! If you can, grab a table by the window. They accept card payments and cash.
Food was a 5 star Service was 1-3 stars Being the first time going there I was excited to try the birria taco however birria tacos come with a dip and these did not so it was basically just a beef taco. If you dont plan on staying more then one drink or whatever pay when you order. We had waited in line to order food, ate, had no quality check by the servers and had to wait in line AGAIN to pay. To the employees, u should notify your customers what theyre walking into cause it was infuriating to have to wait in line 2 times.
This brewery was amazing. The beer was delicious, we did the flight of four and enjoyed them all. We also got food while we were here and the food was reasonably priced and delicious. Highly recommend. Comfortable seating with booths available. Staff were very friendly with fast service. Very nice cozy atmosphere
Between the food, the amazing beer and the awesome atmosphere, this place is and will always be my favourite brewery. Bonus points because they had my favourite beer when we went there, the Dark Juniper Sour!
Best tacos in this city and a few others!
Price? Mood lighting? Beer selection? Immaculate.
Really good food (had quesabirria tacos, a chicken asado taco, the kale salad, and chips with guac and salsa) and friendly service.
Probably the best food in town. 5/5 bags of popcorn.
Outstanding nanobrewery with amazing European-influenced beers and great Mexican food. Highly recommended!
The best micro brew in Saskatoon. Every beer these guys make is pure gold. Tacos are spectacular too. A must try.
Awesome place. Burria was so good, beers were so fun and the service was really great! Thank you!
Best tacos ever!
Yummy tacos and decent beer!
Great beers, quick friendly staff. Chips and Guacamole were good and the carnitas tacos were tasty. Great start to our week in Saskatoon.
Great food and great beer - love the NEIPA and the quesabirria! Its a fun atmosphere to enjoy some food and a drink.
Great atmosphere, great beer. Food menu has expanded to include a variety of quality tacos, burritos, and bowls, even desert.
Really good tacos, Quesa birrias are my go to, reasonably-priced. Not a big selection for drinks, Crossmount cider, couple kombuchas, root beer and their beer made in house. Service is ok, very relaxed ambiance and staff, dont go if youre in a hurry. I keep coming back for the good quality food.
Best brewery in town! Dylan and cams never disappoints. Can be tough to get a table sometimes but it s worth it!
We sat on the patio had some drinks and nachos. Was a great way to spend a couple hrs on a beautiful day.
NEIPA & Quesabirria, all you need to know :)
Food is fantastic. Unfortunately, they ve decided that service is not needed. You now have to go stand in line at a counter to order your food and drinks. We were also the unlucky ones to get the table next to the drink fridge and order line, where other guests were infringing on our table space. Very uncomfortable. Not to mention, they then asked for a tip on the machine, unbelievable. Dylan, Cam hire some staff.
Great spot for quesabirria tacos, nachos and brews that are always changing and interesting!
Great beer and food all made in house
Best beer in Saskatoon and possibly the universe. Great food, great prices.
The Saison was absolutely delicious. Atmosphere was warm and relaxed. Had we arrived earlier, may have hit up nibbles.
Was visiting from out of town and was rudely turned aside even though I had a negative pcr test
Great little spot with great local craft beer. Their NEIPA is deadly.
Nice vibe. Ok beer, ok tacos
Shelter always has interesting beer on tap, as well as a few reliably excellent mainstays. Dylan and Cams tacos are an unbelievably good pair.
Great place for a beer after work or a flight!
Shelter is my staple for tacos, I think they are the best in the city. Im not just comparing to taco fast-food chains, coming from Vancouver I use to eat at tacofino and La taquiera lots, and Ive had tacos in LA. I know my tacos is all. Anyways I strayed the other day and tried another taco place in the city. I was tempted to write a bad review, but instead decided to not bash a business and instead use that energy to commend my still favorite taco place in Saskatoon, Shelter! I wish they were on skip the dishes and wish one day they have fish tacos. Love their salsa, and craving their birria de res right now, but any of their tacos are good!
Great atmosphere, food, and service. Best tacos in Saskatoon for sure!
The chicken burrito is my favorite and the beer is always good!
Fantastic brews as always, and the Al Pastor burritos were superb
This place has the BEST birria taco and an awesome pozole soup, pair it with a plum anise sour beer... the flavours are simply out of this world!!!
I like very much coming here. Dylan and Cam with their food do an excellent job. Always great tacos... So delicious and If you like Beer Shelter has your back!
Great Beer, Great Vibes
great beer, great tacos, great location in downtown Saskatoon!!! Shelter is always on our list of places to eat/drink when in Saskatoon
Great food but this place is understaffed. Staff seemed stressed and as a result are rude. We waited 20 mins at a table to even be acknowledged and when our waitress approached she didn t even say hi . Hire more people. Or Pay your staff more so they ll be happier
Poor service. No where to place a take out order. They don t answer their phone either.
Walking around downtown and Im so glad we stopped at Shelter! The blue Hawaiian sour was spectacular and the staff where very helpful. We where served by Mackenzie who was cheerful, knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed their job because they made sure the whole experience was wonderful. Very much so looking forward to trying more of their beers and food!
They make great beer, if you like great beer. They also have yummy tacos. Atmosphere is simple and there is a street patio. Check it out.
Great place for beer and tacos. Would recommend the burritos if youre hungry. Best NEIPA in town!
Best tacos and beer in the city.
Cozy and quaint with a nice selection of beer. Low lighting creates a nice evening atmosphere and everyone is super friendly. Definitely recommended!
Love the beer and tacos!
Yum and Yum! The beers are delicious and Dylan and Cams tacos are not to be missed!
One of the few places where you can find good tacos close to the authentic . Update Dec 2022: sadly, not the same since I first had these tacos back in 2019. They removed their best flavors from the menu, no longer having Al Pastor, Chicken Tinga or Cochinita. I also miss the times where they would just give you the salsa bottles rather than the tiny container. In one occasion one of the servers refused to bring two different salsa flavors, although today they told us we could have more if we wanted. The new special is two fish tacos for $10 which I didnt have but they looked good. The carnitas tacos were too fatty where before it was mostly meat. Anyway, just little details that make them no longer the best tacos in the city. Still good, just not the best.
9.5/10. The quality of the food & beer is consistently great. Great bang for your buck. My most visited restaurant in Saskatoon.
Saskatchewan s premier brewery, no question. Combo of exquisite beer and DELICIOUS tacos is fantastic. Highly recommend
My absolute favourite place in Saskatoon! Cozy vibes, creative and tasty brews, and the best tacos by Dylan & Cam! For a first timer, Id recommend the NEIPA paired with some tacos or the kale tostada. Shelter is the definition of a local gem - youll feel at home as soon as you arrive!
The staff are amazing, and theyve done a decent job of spreading patrons out inside to adhere to public health regs. Their beer is really good, as is the chow. They also carry spot on cider. A+ local watering hole.
Beer and vibe solid. I do have some harsh opinions on the tacos. They were good for the most part, but the carnitas (at least on the day I got them) were way too salty. As for the salsas, theyre sad. Im not a fan of super spicy food, but the mild one tasted like salt with a hint of avocado and their medium was so mild a baby with GI issues could eat it by the spoonful. So close, yet so far.
Outstanding beers, tacos and staff. Truly one of Saskatoon s best bars/breweries/restaurants
First time visiting Shelter Brewing. The Server was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the different types of beer. The beer was absolutely amazing, some of the best tasting Saskatchewan beer that I have ever had! The food was also incredibly tasty! I would 100% reccomend this place and will be returning!
Best tacos
Best drinks in town! They always have great beer and tacos! The staff is always so great and the place has such a welcoming atmosphere! Would recommend anyone looking for a great night out in Saskatoon! The blue raspberry sour beer was great! Awesome prices too!
Awesome beer, great service. Love it.
Great atmosphere and patio outside. Wish they had the Guava NEIPA in stock when I was there but guess Ill have to try next time!
Love the beer and love the tacos!
Awesome service. Covid safe. Great local brewery
The best place in Saskatoon for craft beer. Service is always amazing and friendly, they also have yummy tacos.
Awesome little brewery. Tacos were amazing. Beer was cold and tasted fresh.
Great beer, the gose, was what I tried this time and it tasted great! The outdoor patio was also really nice in the sun. They had people social distanced well and the service was great. I didnt eat food this time bit in the past their tacos have been great! Would definitely go again!
Simple and clean design. Amazing for casual dining or fun nights of different beer tasting. The tacos are phenomenal and I find myself here usually once a week. By far my top choice for tacos and beer. Highly recommend.
Fantastic beer, the NE IPA is delicious and perfect for a hot summers day.
My favourite local brewing company and the best tacos you can get in town, highly recommend a trip to shelter brewery! The staff is incredibly friendly and always welcoming!
Great patio, great gauc, great cider.
Great environment and great beers. A great addition to Saskatoon s craft beer scene.
Come for the beer stay for the tacos, the beer and food here are a must if your in Saskatoon for any amount of time.
Great Mexican food
Beyond amazing service and delicious food! Love the vibe inside and will fully come again and recommend! Support local
One of my absolute favorite local craft breweries! This place turned a cosmopolitan martini and wine sipping woman into a BEER drinker!! They make awesome beer, have fun flavors and they even have amazing food with Dylan and Cams tacos! I highly recommend this place, the staff is AMAZING! Always friendly and seem to take pride in the products they serve and the in the service the provide. Just go check it out and see for yourself, and if you are not into sitting in, they have beer TO GO!! Check this place out, you wont regret it :)
Beer was good, Tacos were good! Great experience.
Best tacos in the city!
Great beer awesome food
I went there with my mexican friend and we both thought the tacos were awesome. The burritos are pretty filling and yummy too. I suggest getting all the sauces and trying each (dont think about in terms of spice, theyre just different sauces and so different experiences).
Very good beer and nice fresh tacos! Will for sure return.
Cool atmosphere, enjoyed the flight of beers!
Really nice craft brewery and bar in the heart of downtown Saskatoon. The location is very clean with plenty of seating for parties big and small. Staff was pleasant and attentive. The beer is very fresh and each have their individual appeals. The do sell their beer canned if you choose to grab some to take home. Honey Dew Sour Wit is definitely an awesome and unique beer. Overall, highly recommend giving this place a shot.
Nice beer with goid tap selection. Decent Mexican food too.
Best tacos in town! And the beer is delicious too!
Amazing beers and great tacos! Try west coast IPA.
Amazing beer! The Saison was one of the best craft brews Ive had in Saskatoon.
Very fun environment and great food. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice evening out hanging out with friends
Beer!
You cant go wring with this great local craft brewery. They dont have the biggest selection, but the beers they do stock are real local gems - I especially enjoyed their sours! The server also had a lot of recommendations to offer, which turned out to be just what we were looking for. Overall, a great place to grab a beer with your friends in a central location.
Best El Pastor I ve ever had. Great vegan options and fun vibe. Not what I expected to find in Saskatoon but so delighted to have found it.
I ll go back for that amazing Sour beer
Had the birria, carnitas, and al pastor tacos, along with the chips and guacamole. The tacos were tasty, but the meat a bit dry. Chips and guac were awesome, as well as the selection of hot sauces!
Whod expect such great tacos at a Brewery?!
Great vegan options!
As soon as you open the door you get a huge waft of beer mash aroma and humidity. It reminds me of when I tried making beer in my kitchen
If you are looking for Mexican food in Saskatoon, it is a very good option to try their birria tacos with consommé, it is delicious and not to mention the pozole, you will fall in love with it, the closest thing to Mexican food. In general, the complete menu is delicious. I have also tried their tacos de carnitas And Im amazed
Beers are great. Tried just about every kind in the 2 times that I have been here. Tacos are fantastic. I really loved the burritos. For 10.50 they are a bit more filling than the tacos and I find they had a bit more flavor due to the guacamole that is in them along with the sauces. The guacamole is done well here. The hot sauce in the burritos isnt over powering either which is good and added some but if you arent a spicy fanatic you may want to go for the medium to be on the safe side. Service has been good both times I have been here.
Excellent food and drink. My wife and I had a date night for $45.
My favourite place in Saskatoon!! Great food, friendly service and the best sour beers.
Best brewery in Saskatoon!
Great food, great beer. Was nice for sitting in and convenient for take out on their website. Definitely a Saskatoon favourite! Have always had good service.
Always great beer! And good service, too! A lively and popular place.
Great beer. Excellent tacos. Always a great time!
Great food and beer, one of my favorite places in the city
Good beer, very small food menu
great taps
My favourite place in town! Incredible and creative craft beer made in-house, super kind owners and staff, and a fantastic atmosphere. Brown ale, New England Hazy Orange IPA, West Coast IPA, Gruit Ale, sours, ciders.. they do it all! Always a stacked beer list with rotating taps of new kinds they make. The tacos and snacks are great too. Wednesday night is the cheap taco and beer night, so it s a bit busier on Wednesdays. Will update with better photos soon! Also, know that they do not underpour their beers. I just couldn t resist taking a few sips before snapping my photos
Great Brews, fabulous staff, a lively atmosphere, delicious tacos..whats not to love?
We had a good experience with the staff, friendly and engaging. Taco were tasty and great beers whats not to like. I liked Jack 2 point zero.
In the time of social distancing, they delivered amazing beer and fantastic burrito bowls. One of my favourite breweries around, and it is more important now to support them! Great work on the amazing beer and fantastic service!
Best beer and tacos in Saskatoon
best spot in town for a pint. tacos are always good. they frequently have new beers so you can always go back and try something different, or just go drink the NEIPA every damn time, cause it is just that good.
Environment, nice place, beer is excellent, food is delicious, service is personal, they actually appreciate you spending time to enjoy their beer and food. Great people!
Amazing addition to the gastronomic and beer scene to Saskatoon. My favorite place to get beer and tacos. Always a warm environment.
Great place. Space is limited in covid land tho. Get there early
Really friendly on the ball staff, food was perfect and priced well. Enjoyed 3 different tacos priced at $3 a piece so you can mix and match.
Spent a weekend in Saskatoon. I was trying to find good local beer to no avail. Shelter was the last brewery I tried and I really wish it was the first. Of the breweries I was able to sample from Shelter was miles ahead of any others. And all the tacos I tried were great!
Friendly staff, amazing beer, and lovely atmosphere. Definitely my favorite spot in Saskatoon. <3
Huge chips portions, which was surprising as it is not very expensive. Salsa was very hot, but they give a huge portion of Guacamole if you go for that. Beer was good, service was ok, but the place was very quiet, which was a bit depressing for a Saturday night.
Excellent service and great selection of delicious beers!
Great atmosphere! Just an all around great place if you just want to chill and have a few great beers with good freinds .
Nice beers. Reasonable price for small tacos. They are delicious.
Fantastic new brewery in the heart of Saskatoon. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and great beer. Love the ambience.
A wonderful local brewery. Great atmosphere with a fine selection of great beers. Always worth a visit when i am in town. Highly recommended
Good beer assortment and food was awesome.
I hesitate to leave this review in attempt to keep Shelter Saskatoons little secret. This is my husbands favorite brewery and my favorite place to eat. We love what Shelter has built with Dylan & Cam! The atmosphere, the service (every single employee is so friendly), the beer (the cider for me), the value, the patio, the guac and so much more keeps us going back!
Really great selection of beer, I love their seasonal stuff. The tacos are also great and worth checking out.
Awesome staff, great beer, great tacos
A great spot right in downtown Saskatoon. The selection of beer is always impressive, which the tacos compliment perfectly.
Best taproom in the city! Service is great, atmosphere is lovely, and the food is even better. They always have a gluten-free cider to drink, and almost all of the food is gluten-free too
Beers are great, atmosphere and the sooooo goooood!!!
Great beer, friendly staff, good atmosphere. Lots of interesting beers coming out of this place.
