i had a great time dining here. we are out on the front patio across the sidewalk and it was a great view of the busy city. we got the wings and the fish tacos, and it was great! the dry bbq wing flavour specifically is fantastic. my only concern is that the glass that i was given for water had a lipstick stain on it like it had not been washed properly and was quite dirty all around. otherwise it was great!

Beautiful spot for an indoor / outdoor vibe with good eats. Good happy hour deals and lot of menu options. The calamari appetizer was delicious. The pretzels were really soft and perfectly salty. We got a lot of plates and shared everything so got to try a few salads, wings and pizzas. Nothing was special but everything was good. Service was good and the place was quiet when we went

I took a seat on the bench outside since I was riding my bike. Just to have a drink from my watter bottle. And the young host at the front of the place said I can't sit there . Around 15 benches all empty and she wouldn't even let me sit there for a few mins to catch my breath. I know I wont ever come here for a drink. Rude employees. Edit: with such a rude response from the manager who obviously does not know how to handle their self in a professional manner who also seems to just fight you if you leave a bad review. I'm glad I didn't chose to eat there. I was never offered a menu or anything. Never even given a chance to see if I wanted food from their establishment. Just told to push on.

Went here with my family and my fiancé during Jazz Fest. The atmosphere was nice considering it was a street patio, tables are a bit small. I would recommend parties larger than 6 people sit inside the restaurant. The food was alright. We ordered the fish & chips, wings (hot & rosemary), chicken tinga tacos, and nashville hot chicken sandwich. The fish & chips abd tacos were great. The wings were a bit small & dry, but not abnormal for a pub. The sweet potato fries, however, were not good as they were very dry, tough, & unevenly salted. The calamari was also decent, but the portion was very small for 6 people (not pictured). I would recommend the fish & chips over the other items. I ordered the beaches margarita, so worth the money. Classic, very strong margarita. If you're in the area, the Beaches Brewpub is a fine choice for drinks & eats.

Good food with decent vegetarian options to share, to start or as mains. We had lunch there on a sunny day, it had a very beach pub vibe. Great service and kid friendly, I'd recommend 👌🏻

★★★

Great beer but the smallest 1 pound of wings I ever seen. Also, 10 pieces of calamari for $16 is pretty steep for a bar even with new prices… UPD: Don’t want to argue, but if you weigh in the wings with the plate and cutlery together, maybe it will be a 1lb.

Loved enjoying a few brews by the large open window. They had the hockey game on and it was good community vibes and people watching on the street. They do tasting flights here of 4 beers - you choose. Was a big fan of their white stout and sour! The staff are TOP NOTCH here. Very kind and informative. They came over to let us know about last call for the kitchen even though we didn't order food at the beginning. It was so considerate! Also, when we ordered a drink and when they didn't have it anymore, they brought over a sample of something similar. I really appreciated the proactivity! QR codes for menus. Table service. Would recommend and return here.

Super friendly and attentive staff! This alone for me makes a great experience. The food selection is pretty good and the ceviche and calamari were quite nice. The calamari had a nice sauce. The sangria was actually really good. Had some nice orange and lime flavour which I much prefer to the less citrus styles. The beers were nice and who can go wrong with a flight on a little mini surf board! Nice queen street patio and open inside.

Carl and the entire crew at Beaches Brewing are doing it right. Perfect vibe for the neighbourhood. Incredible beer, dialled in menu and a great place to watch sports, do trivia or catch up with friends. Our favourite is the A Bay or the Beach Bound. The double press burger or the chicken sandwich is our go to when we are a little hungry. (Quesadillas or the pretzel isn t a bad call either).

Beach Brewery is a fantastic spot to unwind and enjoy great brews and delicious food. Their beer selection is impressive, offering a variety of flavors to suit every palate. I was particularly impressed by New EnglandiPad IPA. The food menu is equally satisfying, with a nice mix of options to choose from. The portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable for the quality.

Tried the Margarita pizza and one of the ciders on tap. The crust on the pizza was good but the cheese was very bland, needs more salt for sure . Cider on tap always delicious. Great atmosphere, very breezy inside which was nice. The washrooms were interesting but not in a bad way ! Just never expected them to be stickers and graffiti in the stalls and the sinks in the washroom was very nostalgic, like the ones youd see in your elementary schools growing up .

The service and food at this establishment was okay, but the manager was rude and unprofessional with my group. I called a week ago to book a reservation for a group of 19 people. When we arrived the manager had told our group that we should have told them ahead of time that we re going to be ordering food, as they were understaffed with only one cook. This is completely unprofessional because first, you don t put the responsibility on the customer to tell the restaurant that we re going to be eating at a restaurant where you go to EAT. And second, don t blame the customer for your poor planning in understaffing, knowing well in advance that there s a large party coming. I ve worked in food service at busier restaurants before and I d never put the blame on the customer for something that wasn t their fault. This situation could have been handled differently by management. We will not be back.

Food & drinks were great, but we made a reservation a week ago for 19 people and upon arrival they rudely told us we should have let them know when making the reservation that we all planned to eat because there was only one cook on site. UPDATE: While I dont disagree that things went well, trying to displace the blame on the customer is WILD. We called 5 hours in advance to change our reservation time, which you had the liberty to deny--this also goes for our group arriving 30 mins early (we actually came in separate groups, so not all of us arrived at once). As for our party number--9 extra people, not 11 which some of them didnt even eat--you had more than enough room to accommodate us, so not sure why our party number is relevant. So ultimately, yes, we are upset with how management treated us and your customer service (or lack thereof) and evidently, so are many other patrons. Managing expectations wouldve been as simple as saying, given that you are a larger party, wait time for food may take a little longer rather than making us feel like the onus was on us to tell you that we were all planning on eating...at dinner time...at a restaurant. Oof, must be hard to hear.

I went to the Beaches Brewpub for the first time in the summer of 2022 and was seated on the patio. The table was smeared with ketchup and the water glasses all had lip marks on them. We waited for 15 minutes until the server came back for our drink order, then decided to leave. I thought I would give them another try this past weekend. The food was ok and our server was good. However, the state of the bathrooms was so disgusting I found it difficult to return to the table and eat. The stench of urine was so strong in the womens washroom it was hard to breathe. I cant help but wonder what state the kitchen is in. After this experience, I am not going back to this restaurant. There are so many better options in the Beach and if you are looking for a bar/pub atmosphere, go to the Lion, Breakwall or Wolfe Tone. Better food, great staff, MUCH cleaner.

I am giving this place 1 star not because the food or service was bad but something had to be said about the management here , I have been in a few times great service and food, But twice now I have seen the manager / bartender talk so poorly to one of the wait staff ( female ) that he brought her to tears in front of customers, calling her stupid !! the first time it was upsetting but I thought okay maybe he s having a bad day and he will apologize to her later , but weeks later I hear the same guy belittling the same girl again infront of customers and again making her cry , how embarrassing for this girl and this establishment to have such a monster working there , and then to watch him snicker and laugh with some customers at the bar like it was nothing to him , So to the owner do better in taking care of your staff , she s seems like a sweet girl and is always doing a great job as a posed to the guy slacking behind the bar making staff cry !!! he should be let go and if he acts like this infront of customers can you imagine what he does when they are alone , scary

I can t say enough amazing things about this place. I discovered beaches brewing on a whim and decided to host our New Year s Eve engagement dinner and party here. Carl the owner was absolutely incredible. He was receptive to all of our requests, worked closely with us to execute our vision and his team brought a lot of enthusiasm and friendliness to a long night where they expertly managed to take care of a full restaurant of dinner and drink service with no problems. The food and drinks are delicious and affordable, and the decor and vibe is really fun. There were menu options to accommodate any of my friends and family s dietary needs and an accessible washroom was available for use by those with accessibility requirements, which is tough to find in this area. Myself and many of my friends would not hesitate to come back here, and I d recommend to anyone and everyone to host your events here. Happy 2024 to the beaches brewing company team and I can t thank you all enough for how you helped shaped a great night

Went here with my wife recently and had a mediocre time. We were there to watch a game and relax/have some food and beers. Sat at the bar and the place wasn t very busy. Staff were mostly hanging out in an area at the other end of the bar talking and laughing with each other. A few employees who were off the clock were sitting at the bar and getting up to go around the bar to serve themselves drinks. I think one of them was a an off the clock manager which was even worse. Very unprofessional. Our main server didn t tell us when the kitchen was closing and we weren t able to get food, meanwhile the bar staff were sharing a pizza at a bus station and eating it in full view of the restaurant without washing their hands afterwards. Beer was so-so and they ran out of a couple options we wanted to try. We both come from hospitality backgrounds so we don t require much attention but we barely got any and had to wait with empty glasses often. Staff was nice but they seemed more interested in their impromptu staff party then the guests. I doubt we ll return, too bad.

During the course of the evening, Jaiden had checked in on us at the right times. She was part of the reason why we had a good time last night. Separate from Jaidens first-class service, I know that Id dropped a $100 bill in the pub which was the only downside which has nothing to do with the pub or service. I highly recommend this place.

Came for lunch. Ordered grilled halloumi, pizza, tacos and burger. The interaction with the server was awkward. The grilled halloumi that was ordered as an app for the table came out after our mains. We mentioned to the server as he dropped the mains and he said oh ya they re on the pass . In my experience apps are usually dropped before mains. Food was average. Halloumi was overly salty. Ambiance was great just some execution issues. The washrooms - dirty. Spider web with a spider above mens toilet, hand dryer didn t work and paper towel on the sink was wet and the floor was wet throughout.

I visited in December 2019 and had an unpleasant experience (mostly due to the food). There were two other tables around 7pm on a Saturday when both the Leafs and Raptors were playing and the servers were chatting a lot at the bar, so I will not be accounting the lack of service to being understaffed. We were not asked at all of what we thought of the food or drinks, nor were we asked if we had needed anything at any point throughout our visit. We ordered the cauliflower bites, which were not crispy at all. It was served soft and dripping with oil. The jalapeno poppers were filled with a watery sauce that have already pooled out as it was served. The filling had the consistency of a warmed ranch dressing. It is a strange choice to choose a sauce instead of a cheese, but I would be open to hearing their justification. The batter of the jalapeno poppers did not adhere to the jalapeno and it was enjoyed separately from the pepper. The breadcrumb batter was flavourful and it was nice when dipped in the sauce. Lastly, we ordered one of the flatbreads, which was listed to have forest mushrooms, banana bell peppers, asiago and fennel sauce; please see photo. We added sausage for $3, which accounted to a $18 flatbread. The flatbread had five thin slices of sausage which tasted like a generic kielbasa. Mushrooms looked like creminis. A photo was previously uploaded by my accompaniment but it was deleted. I feel this is dishonest business practice. Perhaps if it was not representative of your business, it should not have been served, and the photo should have been addressed at its source and not deleted. It is strange to see a brewery/restaurant with a 4.7 rating (as of 02FEB2020) with little to no photos from actual diners.

Went here specifically for a margarita with a girlfriend. I got the coconut marg and she got the lime marg - both were tasty! I got the chicken wings - honey garlic. They were pretty poor tasting. It was all drums, the sauce did not taste like honey garlic. There was also a weird red ting to some of the wings- I don t think undercooked but definitely left me feeling grossed out. She got the shrimp rice and loved it. It looked tasty. Service was amazing, our server was very friendly and outgoing ! She also had great drink recommendations

This place is UNBELIEVABLE. I felt a little conflicted, because I want Beaches to get their much deserved credit, but I also don t want to let out the secret for anyone that doesn t know this place exists (for fear of not getting a future table!!!). To start- their in house brewing is all top notch, and the flights (samplers) offer a variety of new palettes and flavors. All we tried (creme ale, wheat, stout, lager) fantastic with no aftertaste and sat well. Pizza- great undercarriage and cheese was flavorful. And topping were fresh and clean Burger- smashed, a chopped up nice- great ingredients on the Kahuna (pineapple). Their guac aioli mayo is ridiculous (have to get !!!) Will definitely be back !!!

I went in the day after and they had a selection of maybe 5 beers in cans and 1 beer in bottles. I wanted to try a few maybe 2 or 3 of these but they only sell the cans in 4 or 6 packs. For me, its not accessible for people that wanna try their beers. Most of their beers didnt have labels and were handwritten with sharpie, which I actually dont care, but added to the annoyance of needing to buy 4 of them to try it. The beer Ive tried from here in the past were really solid though. I also suggest buying from here rather than LCBO as its local. But as some constructive criticism for me and my experience, sell your beers individually and keep your establishment open the times that is advertised.

Casual atmosphere and relaxed attitude. A go-to spot for a few beers and a quick snack. Glad its the Beaches and not the Beach.

I went this past Sunday to enjoy the beer and to have a bite to eat with a couple of friends. It was our first time there. We sat at the bar, up in the front window. The entire space has a really cool vibe. It was a gorgeous day, we had great seats! We looked at the menu and got some advice from our server about what beer(s) to try. The menu had $20ish printed as the code of a pitcher. We were never told what the ish could mean. We ended up ordering 2 of them. I also had the fish tacos. The fish was very small and was also quite tasteless. I would call the food ok , nothing more than that. When I got my bill, by the time the sales tax and tip were added, I was at over $60 for one pitcher of beer (my friend paid for the other one) and three little tacos. Upon further investigation, I learned that the pitcher of beer was not $20ish, but was $32! I will not be going back.

Poor experience. I made a reservation for a party of 55 and the owner Carl was not prepared for it. I felt like helping him the entire time. Service was very slow. However, I looked past the poor organization of it all, the bad food, and the ghetto washrooms and tried to reserve there again and give this place a second chance, only to receive a lack of communication from Carl. I do not recommend a place where the manager lacks communication and provides bad customer service.

They recently changed their menu and its way better! Beers are always on point whatever you order. Pizza is pretty good, and their chicken sandwich is a home run. Fries are so delicious we had to order a 2nd order. Their kitchen closes at 9pmish? So get your food orders in before then. They do take reservations by phone only. I ordered their pineapple burger first time I came and wasnt a fan, but maybe its gotten better. Lots of beer to takeout as well. I think Fridays they also have all drink specials!

The ceviche was crazy dry. My friend ordered a pineapple fried rice but the rice wasn t even fried, it was more à Bolognese rice with a huge spoon of mayonnaise on it. I ordered a virgin mojito they charged me 15$ more than the regular mojito with alcool! Never going there again I recommend you to do the same

Great menu options to accompany fresh rotations on the taps. Beaches Brewing is a wonderful addition to Queen East, and should be on your itinerary if youre visiting the Beaches. Carl (owner) and his entire team are friendly and care deeply about the community. Good vibes found here.

I remember spotting them as one of the vendors at Ashbridge when I went down to watch fireworks a couple of years back. That time when I asked where the brewery was, they said they did not have a brewery yet. Now they have a very cool looking pub/brewery in the middle of The Beaches area. Went in to pick up a couple of beers to go. Tasted good, resonably priced. It was a very quick and easy in and out. Next time I would love to try their food after reading all the good reviews.

Tried to eat in at this place but was not acknowledged in the line by any of the servers . It wasn t clear if there was a hostess or not so after waiting we sat ourselves inside. They couldn t acknowledge us in line but were pretty quick to tell us to get out of the booth and let us know there was a line .. we knew there was a line, we were standing in it but no one bothered to say anything to us. When we went back outside to speak to the server or hostess whatever she was, she again did not acknowledge us and helped the people that were standing in line behind us . This place looked like it would have been good but the staff need some training in customer service.

Beaches Brewing is awesome, my local go to for meeting friends. Also buy all my beer here because its closer than the LCBO, beer is always changing and reasonably priced for craft beer.

December 23, 2022

I was so disappointed with the service. We ended up sitting outside on the patio and 4-5 other tables came and were seated after us, yet they were all served before us. It took a really long time for anyone to even acknowledge us or take out drink order. The system for serving outdoor customers is a mess and there s no order to it so even if you ve been seated for a while the servers seem to approach the tables in whatever order they decide.

I came here with some friends before seeing a show at History earlier this month and it was a good experience! The location is pretty convenient and only about a 10-15 min straight walk to History, so it s a nice chill place for pre-show food and drinks. I phoned the day before for a reservation - the worker was really nice and I had no trouble getting a table for a large party (probably helped it was for mid afternoon, not lunch or dinner time). Unfortunately they d run out of mint the day before, so I couldn t get a mojito, but the blackberry lime gose was refreshing and easy to drink. I ordered the chicken sandwich with side of fries, which came to the table surprisingly fast and tasted delicious! I really loved the shoestring fries. From what I remember, my bill was pretty reasonable too. There were a couple instances I thought our server could have been more attentive, especially because it wasn t too packed the majority of the time we were there. But it was still an acceptable level of service considering how many people we had. Overall I would recommend and would likely return to Beaches Brewing Co.
