High Park Brewery in Toronto

Excellent food, great service with a smile & an exceptional atmosphere! Not to mention top notch beer especially the across the pond ale ! Food : 5/5

We had the opportunity to visit this palace and sample some of their beers, but unfortunately, the staff there was unfriendly and dismissive. They treated us with attitude and made it clear that they didn t want us to return. I wouldn t recommend this place.

Amazing service. Friendly atmosphere. Really just a great friendly place. The employees are incredibly nice and beer is great !!!

Great heated patio to take the doggo!

We came on a Saturday night and half the venue was reserved for a wedding, which was fine. We had a toddler with us but we came early around 6:30 and we saw other families there too. We ordered our drinks and food and hung out. Our drinks came right away, but our food never came. We kept seeing other people who came way after us receive their food and we asked about it, and the staff told us that the order was in, but the wedding was slowing things down. After being there for an hour, our toddler was getting hungry and restless, the staff tells us the order never went in and they were sorry, it ll be put in then and they ll do their best. We waited another 10-15 minutes but it was too much for my daughter, so we left. They comp d our whole bill including the drinks that we had, and took my number down saying they would reach out to make it right the next day, but I never got a call. Probably just an error given the wedding and also a big birthday party in the back, and I gave it a full week to see if they ll call before writing this, but I doubt we will be back.

Really enjoy this space and been going for years. Sometimes too many unruly children on the patio but just because parents not taking responsibility, not a reflection of the bar.

One of the best smash burgers in town and reasonably priced too. Great seating, lots of space, live music every now and then. Highly recommended.

Comedy show is awesome!

This brewery is in my backyard and Id still choose any other brewery over this. Every time Ive come here, Ive had rude, uninterested unhappy wait staff. I kept giving multiple chances thinking people have bad days, maybe theyve been busy, but I always leave feeling terrible about my experience, even if Im just stopping to pick up beers or joining friends for a sit down meal. The beers and food are very good but the service has been consistently terrible.

Waited 1.5 hours for food ordered on a reservation before hand then half the table got food and the other have did not get food for another 20 minutes

Food is always perfect and hot. Instagram worthy pictures. Vegetarian options: Love the goat cheese flatbread! Dietary restrictions: Dietary restriction choices are part of the menu selections Vegan to vegetarian to meat -a-tarian Parking: Our group of 20 is always well accommodated. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Washroom on main floor

Margarita is a rip-off. The glass was full of ice, it was also a very small cup

Rude staff. Would never visit again. We had a party of 9. We left get your staff attitude in check. Update: if you pride yourself on customer service it certainly does not show.

Sorry folks but this place is sorta gross. You are facing a parking lot and the washrooms have dust all over them. This is Toronto. You can finder a nicer brewery. The root beer stout was kinda nice.

Really great food and service! They offer cocktails too which is so nice.

Pretty simple set up, the patio heaters werent warm enough but that seems to be a me thing. Disruptive barking dogs welcomed. Small menu you can only access with a QR code. Waitress visibly unhappy at splitting the bill between 2 small families, perhaps because she didnt bother keeping track which was apparent when we got scrambled bills. Automatically offered the bill to my male partner even though I was the one interacting with her. Tipping on machine starts at 18%. One of those pretentious hipster spots.

Great spot love that it s pet friendly :)

Great outdoor area, friendly service and reasonable prices. Good luck to businesses like these that revitalise areas and create social hubs.

Goobers fav spot.

Large brewery in the heart of the junction. Seating options inside and a patio out front and beer options. Service was hit or miss, when we visited it was under staffed so it was a bit slow. But lots of beer and cider options, and some food options. Lots of parking out front.

Had such an amazing time celebrating my brothers birthday here. Staff were attentive, beyond pleasant, and accommodating. Special acknowledgement of Shake who from the moment we walked in had smile, made himself available and was truly a joy to be around. Thanks for a beautiful experience and fabulous customer service.

Good food!

We had our reception here and it was fantastic. The ambience was on point and the service was excellent. This is the perfect event space.

I have had a couple events at this establishment - a corporate summer patio party and most recently, celebrated my sons 21st birthday. I am a repeat customer because this place does not disappoint! The staff are very friendly, the food is delicious and they have great drinks and beer offerings, made local, on-site. Excellent place to book your next dinner party or private event - highly recommend!

Attended their Superbowl party and can t say enough about their customer service!! From the manager to the servers and Chef!!! They were all very professional and friendly! Can t wait to return!

Good drinks. Food was decent but Great vibes all around

Amazing patio and bar to chill at. Pet friendly with a warm welcoming staff. Kudos to SHAKE our last bartender/server for his amazing service; prompt, tentative and radiant energy making us feel at home.

We tried this place out on a Sunday night. Drinks were great and we liked the food as well. Very reasonably priced and very good service. Parking: Ample parking !

Great food , great beers , and best server ever shake !!!

had such a fun time! impeccable vibes. Shakes was our server and helped me and my friend out with a lot. he recommended the Revivale and it was great. 5 stars

Summer is underway !!!! Shout out to shake , greatest service this side of Toronto .

Mr. shake blew my mind , great beers, great food , great patio . Loved every moment .

Let me start off by saying wow!!! This place is such a gem! I have been coming here for a few years and have never been disappointed! If you love trying out new tastes of IPAs this place is the spot! They also have an amazing food menu but my favorite condiment to pair with the fries is the hot sauce fun fact their chef makes it and its fantastic! If you ever come here you will always be kindly greeted by Shake!, he is one of the most welcoming and kindest servers if you have him waiting on your table he will help you out, he has a very good knowledge of the food menu and drink menu! OVERALL if you ever come by this spot or have the chance to you will love it!

Super slow service! The servers took forever to attend and to get drinks! We were boiling in the sun and requested multiple times to move to another table! Atleast 4-5 empty tables until we left but we were not moved saying the tables are reserved! To finish it all, they automatically added a tip of 25% without informing me. Trusting the process of being transparent i paid! However felt something is fishy and asked for receipt but was denied saying it will be emailed to me. However i waited and asked another server who promptly gave the receipt! Where i learnt i was charges 25% tip and the reason he denied a copy of the receipt! Be careful and check everything!

Terrible service. I wouldn t go here again as the staff was not warm.

Get the beer flight if you can t choose. Awesome hardworking service staff. Patio is kid and dog friendly. Tap room is welcoming. Kids are welcome and accommodated. Great place anytime of year.

Great beer and nice atmosphere - tasty food as well! Service was quite slow and seemed to be understaffed

Held my engagement party in the brewery event space and my fiancé and I couldn t have picked a more perfect venue. Easily accessible by TTC, incredible food and such an awesome place to have a band playing. So grateful for attentive staff and all round good times.

I ve lived in the area for a long time but today was my first time here. I had the smash burger and it was excellent. The shoe strings fries were great as well. The service was outstanding, friendly and professional. Emily was able to describe and recommend a beer that I loved! The patio is dog friendly and they do gluten free buns and vegetarian options. The food is very reasonably priced. Will be back, many times probably!

Original review: Having recently tried several of High Park Brewerys offerings, thanks to a thoughtful guest, notably Black Magic and Divercity Helles Lager, I was excited to visit the taproom. Its a great space and has a large patio (looking forward to next summer!). The taproom had 12 varieties on draft, and flights are available at a reasonable price. You can also try other options from the fridge (its quite a good cider that I tried). Our visit was between meals, but feeling snacky, we had some fries. Very delicious. I look forward to beer and burgers on the patio. I took home more Black Magic and also tried the Key Lime Sour. Highly recommended. Update: Another terrific visit to High Park! Black Magic continues to be my favourite, but eventually, Ill explore more. One of my companions quite enjoyed the Neapolitan Stout.

Loved the tap beer and service here! Good place to hang out on a Friday night

First time visit to their patio, its so lovely (although a bit chilly)! They had a perfectly sweet, creamy neopolitan Stout on tap the perfect warmer. Shoestring fries are addictive!

Calm place, lots of parking, good food, good pátio, love the fresh beer.

I really loved this place!! Will recommend everyone to visit

Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. Staff more focused on serving drinks out of order than patron who mentions they have to manage their kids. Food

Excellent spot for holding events, highly recommended if you are looking for a good spot for hosting a wedding!

Always a great spot. Super kid and pet friendly. They also have a fantastic outdoor patio that s heated and covered for those colder/rainier days

Love this spot. Amazing collaboration between 2 great craft beer brands. Nice patio for a pint.

Great beer and service.

Always the best service from the HPB staff. Inside before lockdown and now on the heated patio . Try the food or support local restaurants in the area but buy HPB beer

Had a get together here before the holidays and it was great to see all their COVID precautions hadnt diminished their level of service. Great standard selection of brews, fantastic food, good music and weekly surprise drinks. Cant wait to be back once things open up this Spring!

Great place. super casual!

Excellent beer brewed close to home

The best patio in Toronto.

Always order from these guys. Great beer!

A really great brewery with exceptional beer on tap. What I really like about high park brewery is the variety they have. IPAs, lagers, stouts, sour beers, etc. There really is something for everyone! To make it even better they have really great food options. Lots of shareables or a really incredible chicken sandwich depending on what you are looking for! This is a great spot and I am looking forward to seeing what beers come out next!

Delicious food, amazing beer, cool vibe! Patio on a sunny Sunday is what you need after a long winter...

This is our go-to brewery for beer purchases or just to hang out. Nice people, low-key vibe, great beers.

Customer service was amazing, loved the selection and you can also check out the merch for sale too. Go check out this local brewery

Great group of folks running High Park brewery. The place is coming together nicely and quite a few different beers to try. COVID-19 update: Theyve done a fantastic job of making the patio accessible and following all the rules to ensure the safety of their guests and staff.

I ve supported their beer since I met the founders at their first TFOB years ago. The taproom was a great addition, a fun place to enjoy their beer with friends. The introduction of food options was welcome news however I feel like that s when things started to shift. Unfortunately, my last two visits weren t just bad, they were terrible, and I can t recommend this place anymore. The customer service is virtually non-existent. Service is slow, unpredictable and frustrating. For example, we waited 40 minutes after we were seated to give our drinks order (tables were just over half full). It s a shame to see, as I ve supported the fledgling brewery grow from the start. I hope management can make some changes to improve the quality of service. I d like to try again some day but it s going to take a while to shake off the bad taste from this latest experience.

We had a wonderful visit! I enjoyed a flight of beer. I even tried the Winters Tale Dark Cherry sour that was reasonable...Im not really a fan of sours but I enjoyed a sample of his one. I tried the Ghost IPA and another IPA (cant remember the name) - both were delicious. I am partial to IPAs! I also tried the Neopolitan Stout which is quite nice as well. Overall, the beers were great and the atmosphere and bartender were amazing! We look forward to getting back some time soon!

This is a great spot for a large group event - we just had 4 of our soccer teams attend (plus parents) to watch Team Canada secure their spot in the World Cup. Feels great to support a local business, great location, plenty of parking. Friendly & quick service, super accommodating with all the last minute changes and adding tables, etc. Highly suggest ordering the flatbreads and fries for the tables - great for sharing and good bang for your buck to feed young, hungry growing footballers!

Different beers on tap, heated patio, Love Chix serves up food. Definitely a go-to.

Worked with these guys many times, and they ve always come through and offered our guests a stellar experience, with some of the best and most diverse beer offerings in town

Great beer, try the Neapolitan Ice Cream Stout. Margaret and her staff really look after you.

Eating out with kids as hard. We planned in advance, looked at the menu, tried to call (no answer, but their voicemail said family friendly), and drove in. Upon arrival, we tried to order and they informed us they weren t serving most of their menu because of a wedding. We saw 3 groups leave within a 5 minute window. Some notice would be nice. Probably won t go back.

Very friendly staff and the beer is great too!

Such a good place

I highly recommend their whiskey.

The Pilsner is sensational!

Amazing place, great staff, Maddy and Haden are aMazing!!!!! So nice so kind they deserve not only a raise but a promotion!!! So kind, please acknowledge this review!!

Great beer, great service.

Chill vibe, lots of on tap options, friendly crew. Smash burgers were perfect. Thanks!

Great vibes!

Great beers, great venue space. Food is great!

Loved this cute little place. Great for a get together with friends

These guys are great, we often go with large groups of people (Rugby teams) and they are extremely accommodating and excellent customer service wise. The beer is great too!

Left this place high on a good time

Beer

Comedy, large patio.

Awesome beer and food

Great brewery with an excellent collection of beers on tap and in a bottle. Staff is super knowledgeable on the beers and make sure the place has a fun vibe. Loved the duality which is a peach sour perfect for summer.

Great music on the patio, tasty brews, friendly staff, great smash burger, worth the trip to the relatively remote location.

I must say , this is the greatest brewery I ve ever been to . If You show up , ask for shake or Hayden , and you will have the greatest service possible. I m blown away and will be back .

A great neighborhood brewery! Ive not yet tried the food but likely every beer they make. Great selection that has only expanded greatly after merging with Lost Craft. Local gem!

Love the place and atmosphere that they being to the neighborhood. Love the drinks as well but, the customer service is lacking big time. When the owner is around the service is great but, when they leave everything goes down hill. Servers not getting orders and ignoring clients when they have been waiting for a long time to place an order and then decide to go and pay inside to leave.. the clients get ignored while servers are engaging with each other.

Not always a fan of craft beer but they have a few good ones that are easy drinking. The patio is what I really go for. Great year round with heaters and coverings in the fall/spring. Good food as well since partnering with Love Chix - Punit is a master in the kitchen.

Great huge patio, good burgers & some tasty beers

What an amazing selection of IPAs, lagers, stouts or sour beers! Always exceptional beer on tap! I also love the food options! There really is something for everyone! So glad to live in this neighborhood and have High Park Brewery next door!

Fried chicken sandwich and double fried fries were delicious. Smoothie beer & Gin are a must try. Staff work extremely friendly

Updating my review after 5 years, still plenty of tasty beers and great staff :)

had work place party here. good food and drinks.

This is a decent venue to host private/corporate gigs. A great one to grab a beer on tab and taste the varieties that are offered. Their manager Anna and her staff are seasoned professionals that add to the great experience of this location as well.

Other than the place is usually busy and other times extremely busy the food is amazing staff is excellent and location is nice definitely would recommend coming here Also the beer is apparently really popular in the area as I see people come in and out just for it.

Awesome venue to get married at. Anna is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, approachable, and engaging. Get married here. Highly recommend.

Beer: Plentiful, strong variety, delicious. Patio: Huge, covered, friendly.

Nice selection of on-site brewed beer. Friendly service and a nice Love Chix menu.

Beer was a solid 5. Had a sample of 4. They were the double IPA double, Paddle the Humber, Neapolitan Stout, and some mango smoothie kinda beer which was funky and unique. At least to myself. The burger was flavorful, but a mere 3oz patty. I recommend getting a double patty to make it semi normal. The venue itself is also nice with the outdoor patio.

Been going to High Park for a while. Love the Across the Pond and the fried chicken sandwich. Got great service on a slow weeknight from Tess! Felt like I learned a lot about the beers and the brewery!

Beer was good. Patio is dog friendly and heated which is fantastic. The food is nothing to write home about but we ll be back for more bevs.

Came here for my work Christmas party yesterday, and was blown away by the service from the moment we arrived. Josh, Liza, Emily were amazing hosts. It s a beautiful venue, the food is amazing, and their in house brewed / distilled drinks are high very good as well. One thing I want to point out Josh has an incredible talent. He literally remembered 25 peoples name just by asking for it one time. We were all mind blown. Might seem like something minor, but it s the little things that create the best experiences sometimes. Promote that man, give him part ownership of that place or something. Will be coming back 100%.

Tried the Sakura/Cherry Lager, it was great. Friendly place. :)

Best brewery in High Park! I cant wait for quarantine to be over so that we can once again host all of our social events in this brewery.

Great beer and patio! So lucky it is in the neighbourhood.

Great place for a outside drink with friends Has a outside heating system

I have orderd from here a few times through a delivery app. The beer is good with a unique and crispy taste and at a great price especially for a craft brewery. I also appreciate the hand written thank you notes on my orders :) I am hoping to soon finally check out their patio.

Delicious beers and phenomenal service!

As a male of advanced age who spent his younger years in many UK pubs I have to congratulate you on your Across the Pond brew. Keep up the good work.

The owner is just excellent to deal with really nice guy. The smells are just awesome

Great patio, family friendly, and amazing service. Pizza was great and the beers are always good.

So much fun! Great patio and delightful staff!

Great patio and great beer. You can order from the menu or from neighboring restaurants. Also had the soccer game going on a big TV.

Such a good place. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the food and beer are both awesome.

Great service, great beers, great open patio.

Great selection of Craft Beer, great staff. A comfortable patio to meet with friends and let the afternoon slip away.

A wonderful surprise. Great brewski, wonderful, sweet staff. The stuff that makes the world go round. Will be back!

The staff treated us amazingly, the patio was great and the food and beer very tasty. Loved it will absolutely go back and recommend!

Its one of the finest place I visited in recent times.

Picked up a few beers and glasses from here yesterday. Flavourful and enjoyed the cherry beer. It s my local and shall definitely support an fantastic place for the community

Another great local Toronto brewery. Hard to think of any reason why anyone still buys throw away beer (Molson/Coors/Budweiser/Labatt) when they can get local microbrew delivered so quickly to their home. Not to mention what a gross shopping experience the beer store is. Anyway highly recommend these fine folks and I particularly enjoyed the cherry blossom lager. Only reason for the 4 star rating instead of 5 is the delivery. It came super fast and as described, however their drivers wont come inside of apartment buildings. This is little more than a minor inconvenience, but some breweries will come all the way to your apartment door. If not for that Id give a perfect 5 star rating. Thanks for the great beer High Park Brewery!

Great place tons of parking great beer.

great patio, easy parking, craft beers

Massive heated patio. The staff and owner are all wonderful here. Great selection of beer, they have a bit of everything to please anyone s palette. They also have a great food menu with some veggie options as well.

Great beer and friendly staff. Exactly what you want from your local craft brew!

Love this place. Great selection of brews made in-house, and the menu sees seasonal and even weekly variations. Good menu is a great accompaniment to the beer. Great owners who are very involved. Its one of my hubs.

Great beer and service!

Had a party there tonight with family and it was a great night. The food was amazing as and the young lady who took care of us was just great. She couldnt do more for us. Thank you for a great night.

First tine checking out this place. Good selection of IPA beers. Poutine is excellent. Pretty good atmosphere. Lots of space, looks like a great place for patio drinks in warmer weather. One down side, the chairs are made for tiny people. I spent most of my time standing. Other than that, Id still go back.

Great staff, nice selection of beers CHEERS

Amazing space for events!

Great place, cold beers and friendly staff! The owners are awesome!

Great beer. Can t wait for pub area to reopen

Very friendly, good for a relax.

Great beer. Great service.

I love their specialty brew bottles. Always something new and delicious to try. Just having the cream ale, yummi. Staff is very friendly and helpful, thanks guys!

My family and particularly dog love this patio makes it easier to love the beers

Great tasting beers made by dedicated folks who want to produce great beers in a comfortable welcoming space.

Great beer, even better service. Top notch patio vibe.

A great afternoon in the shade of their patio canopy, drinking ice cold amazing craft beer, Chef cooked wings, social distancing measures, masks provided...feeling of freedom. How can there only be 5 stars!!

Love this brewery for both its beer and its vibe. High Park Brewery has a great lineup of beer - something to please everyone. Service is friendly and authentic. And, it s dog friendly. Cheers!

A great patio, a robust section of high quality beer, excellent service, and different food trucks arriving throughout the week makes for a very nice experience. I highly recommend, and Ill definitely be back.

Great place, also(close to my house)Friendly staff, great patio for taco Tuesday. I ll be back for sure!

Great beer, lovely brewery, good service, and awesome parking right out front!

Friendly service

We just received our order... and it arrived almost 4 hours earlier than expected! What else can a beer lover ask for? We discovered High Park Brewerys beer by chance when we ordered a few extra beers added to our regular market order. Serendipity! The beer tastes nice and refreshing - perfect for hot summer days. Now, if youll excuse me, my shift will end in about an hour, and I will blast some heavy metal music and enjoy a few cans. Thank you for your service!

I was visiting from MA and ordered a drink. They took my id for about 20 minutes and handed it back saying it was fake. I have the real id, i switched over in January. My friend I was with ordered a beer, they took her id and came back with her beer. Dont think they scanned mine at all. Be cautious ordering drinks if you have the MA real id. Definitely bring a passport or other form of id in case, dont make my mistake.

Great environment, service, food and beer!

We stopped in for a drink and enjoyed an appetizer as well. both the beer and the food were excellent as well as the service. We would definitely go back.

Fabulous service food and beer!!!

Really great patio and selection of beers only downside is that we came for lunch based on their website and were told there was no food until 2 pm. We would have spent more and stayed longer if there was food.

Came here 2 weeks ago and had such an incredible experience. Everything from the food, beers and service was amazing. Its also a huge perk that this gem is only a 10 min walk from home! The owner even came by and chatted with us to see how our experience was going. We had such a great experience that we went back yesterday with a few friends. Food and drinks were as expected, really great however the service last night was terrible. Both servers that helped us were quite rude and curt with our table. We were served on the patio this Saturday around 6pm. It was really disappointing. You can tell the place is very well run but rude service left a bad taste in our mouth.

Came in at 1230 a Sunday. Was seated, gave a drink order, got our drinks, asked about the menu (qr code on the table, very cool) then we asked to order. That was when told us that because of an event later in the day the kitchen wouldnt be open until 1500. The beer was very good, but, like, let me know on the way in that youre not a restaurant for another 2.5 hours. Might try again some time and update.

I can only review the beer and the IPA is 5+ stars. Fresh and delicious. I have been there twice and the service also 5+ stars.

Great service, very large patio and great beer selection!

Great local brewery. Try their specialty beers, as they are made in very small batches, so when theyre gone, thats the end. They have a nice big patio that is nicely far enough from the busy streets to have little traffic noise. The beer is great and the staff are super nice and helpful. Enjoy!

They did a great job with the patio in a short timeframe. Beer is great, cool atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

I absolutely love High Park Brewery. Ive been on the patio many times and the people and the service is excellent. And of course the frosty Ontario craft beer is wonderful. They got food too through great collaborations. My personal favorite beer is the Peacock Pilsner and the Across the Pond Ale. See you again soon!

Fabulous local brews & a convenient west end location with plenty of parking. Was there today and am told that heat lamps will be up and running on the large patio very soon (October 29 2020)

Love this place! Great beer, great staff, lots of nice outdoor seating.

An already awesome place now has a covered, heated patio. We will be spending lots of time there this Fall/Winter.

I ve been a fan High Park Brewery s beers for a little while now, and since moving into the area a few months ago, the brewery itself has become our go-to hangout spot. They have an awesome patio, friendly staff and bring in a great selection of food vendors. I m looking forward to hanging out on their heated patio post-lockdown, and in the meantime will be hitting up their bottle shop for Cherry Lagers on the regular. :)
