This is an alright spot given the options in Liberty Village. I met up with a friend for drinks, and the selection was okay, and the beers in my flight were also okay, but nothing stood out as a fantastic beer. I went on a Sunday afternoon, and they do have a brunch option, which I was considering, but there were other places that I thought offered better value for money. Service, again, was okay. Nothing special, but everything is ordered at the bar, and then I bring it back to the table. Overall, I don't think I'd revisit again. It just didn't have the overall brewery vibe I was looking for.
Loved the food here - went after a 10k run for brunch and I enjoyed the meal! The only thing that was a bit disappointing was the service - it took quite a while for our food to arrive and others who arrived later than us got their food first, but otherwise I can't complain.
I had a burger and poutine. The poutine was amazing. Their beer is good as well. The space inside is elegant. Good service.
We waited over 30 mins for someone to come to our table, flagged down a waiter n he never came over. We just left. Couldn't comment on the food as we didnt get any but my god the service is bad. According to google "was less busy than normal" over 1/2 the seats were opens so not sure why we didnt get service.
On Sunday I was here to watch the Euro Cup final. We drank only half a beer because the service and attitude of the woman who was serving was terrible. It is very sad how a place that could have a good atmosphere is damaged by the service. At no time were we rude to her, or anything like that. It's not for this person to get in trouble, but if she's having a bad day she doesn't have to take it out on the customers.
Can't order uber eats because there is no food. They took the chips off so you can't order any beer. Why even have uber eats for beer if it's impossible to get.
Attended this spot just to grab a drink on a whim, and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food. Me and my partner grabbed several drinks: Fiesta, Kowhai, Zodiac Rotator, and Orion. The Ms liked the more hazier beers but I enjoyed the Pilsner (Kowhai) the best. Ordered a poutine not expecting much, but was very surprised at amount of cheese given, and right amount of gravy. Most places I find overly slather the gravy and it's flavorless. We also ordered the chicken wings in butter hot sauce. It had good heat but could use a little more flavor. But was still enjoyable. Price is a little more than I would expect, but it is a very short distance from exhibition GO station and CNE. Overall I would return.
Beer was ok. Had the purple gas. It's the type of beer that's refreshing on a hot summer day. The pizza was on point. A little on the greasy side but the oil adds a distinct flavor. Stone oven as well. Friend of mine said it's very comparable to what he had in Florence.
We need some stouts baudd
Didn t extend their hours tonight for leafs bruins game 7. Kicked us all out at 11pm
Garbage beer garbage beer garbage beer garbage
Great ambiance, tasty food and speedy service. The staff is attentive but not pushy. The food menu is diverse but not overwhelming, with interesting flavour combinations. And the drink list is extensive, and includes their own house made beers.
Dont count on them actually being open during their posted hours.
The best beer, at a priceless price!
Still my favourite place try the siesta Lager still my favourite especially after 75k ride for brain health
The staff here were exceptional. Definitely my favourite brewery in Liberty!
Just hanging out and enjoying a couple of beers here watching the world go by.
The truffle fries were genuinely the most bland and underwhelming fries i have ever had, service was ok. Wont be going back.
Great beer, great service, great food! Props to that burger!
One of th best craft brewery in Canada! Their grasshopper wheat ale is in the top 3 wheat ales I have ever had.
Great spot to pick up some local cans in Liberty Village. The carriers they use make it easy to grab four at a time.
Kaleb was our server and he was excellent. The food was delicious, and the craft beer was tasty.
Might be great for pickup but dont order via 3rd party. You may find your order turns up a little light due to missing items. Sometimes you wont care because it s 1 beer, until its 15 or half your order. Upon calling they don t seemed compelled to solve YOUR problem and ask you to refund via Uber Eats. LCBO it is next time, no ones forgetting my beers there!
Wow - what an unfortunate experience. Went for drinks and dinner with my husband and another couple before a concert at Budweiser. Ordered at cash - sat down at 7. Had an appetizer and our drinks. Food was amazing - we were really looking forward to our meals. The other couple gets their food - and we all wait for the rest of the food, which we presume is just behind. About 10 mins goes by - and no food. My husband decides to go in and see what s up. Guy inside (Brad) says that the kitchen lost our order. At this point, it s well after 7:30 and we re running short on time. Brad proceeds to tell us that there isn t much he can do without a receipt - despite taking our order 30 mins prior. We pull up the credit card transaction. He refunds the order and submits a new order to the kitchen. Great. It s now 7:55 and we re still waiting for the food. We ask if there s anything they can do for the couple - who ate cold food and alone. The waitress says there s nothing they can do about that - and I quote it was their choice to eat cold food . The staff were quick to complain about their system - and we were getting no where. We got the food and left. We literally had to eat it while running to the concert - and we re still late. I was told to escalate the issue with Elliot - the manager - during the week. I ve now called twice and left messages with staff for Elliot and have heard nothing back. The worst part is the food and atmosphere were amazing. Customer service would go a long way.
Foods is tops. Beer is perfect.
Be careful ordering from this place. Always check your bag before the courier leaves (you may need to get in touch with (ridiculous) customer service. Theyre okay, sometimes. Theres been times they confirmed an order on Skip the Dishes or Über eats when theyre near closing (Ive not realized the time because Über used to say it closes at 11 and skip say at 10:30). Too much stress ordering here lately. I recently ordered 2 x 4pack of Citradelic, and they send me only half my order! I couldnt believe it when Skip the Dishes told me they couldnt refund (not even in their stupid skip credits). They even tried blaming the COURIER because he should have known. They didnt even give me a chance to prove I only had 4 instead of my order of 8 cans of beer. So I paid more than $40 for 4 cans. Soo done with this place. Ill try Brickyard location.
Its fine. I dont go out of my way to get beer here but if LCBO is closed, they are open later. They dont take back their own growlers which is pretty shady. You arent putting a deposit down when you get them, you are buying them. Staff is always nice. Also, no cash. In short, corporate craft. Middle of the road.
Not a great atmosphere. They don t have their own food and rely on the business next door that wasn t open. The beer is very good and Bailey is amazing!!!!
Seriously guys... Accepting an order for beer through Uber on Saturday night and then cancelling exactly at 11:01pm without an explanation so we cant even order from elsewhere... Super incompetent ... this is how places go out of business, and judging by all the 1 star reviews and lack of responses theyre probably almost there
Grasshopper is the best ;)
Love this place!
Great beer and great wings!
Great service and really unique (great) beer! ... And the food station out front is excellent too!
Wide variety of Beer. People are nice and friendly
The place is amazing, full of positive vibes and energy.. However, the food spread is very limited and they dont allow you to get outside food, otherwise lovely place..
Great beer and friendly staff.
Good beers!!
Good selection. I actually prefer their Growlers, but they do charge a premium compared to other local brewers.
The bottle shop doesnt have a price list and is super disorganized. The shop is literally just random, disorganized flats dumped in a beer fridge, with can labels hidden. Theres no product or price list anywhere. Unfortunately, the staff are obviously overworked - just two people running a full patio, Uber pickups, AND the bottle shop on a Thursday night in Liberty Village. They were stressed out and clearly did not want to help me find beers. Not their fault though - the owner should hire more people. Lastly, the staff were only wearing clear face visors, not masks, indoors in the shop. So if that bothers you, dont go here. Id describe this as more of an UberEats fulfilment centre before a bottle shop / local brewery vibe. Super disappointing and stressful overall. There are better organized breweries + bottle shops nearby that Id rather check out, with better service too.
