1177 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M4M 1L5, Canada
Cozy microbrewery located in the heart of Leslieville, Toronto. Radical Road always has a wide variety of tasty, hand-crafted beers available in an atmosphere that is easy-going and unpretentious. The staff are inviting and the patrons are friendly. Radical Road also boasts a small patio where you can sit and enjoy a beer and watch the world go by.
We arrived at Radical as part of our brewery crawl and were delighted to find a bar full of Creed fans, we sang, danced and drank with a truly merry bunch. Our bartender Ashley was amazing and treated us with first class service, what a blast, can't wait to visit again someday
Amazing micro-brew pub in Leslieville! Laid back vibe with a great selection of beers! My fav place in this hood’!
The beer here has always been great, but the calzones make this a 10/5 dinner spot. Inventive, delicious , reasonably priced. Bonus points for the house-made chili oil
We came for the calzones and a chill afternoon... after a morning hike within the city. I got the mushroom cheese calzone which was good. I wish there was a little pizza sauce inside but it was tasty. Friends got the taco calzone and pepperoni calzone. Plus the garlic dipping sauce. Great combo. Would come back to try more calzones.
Cozy little brewery, although they have less beer options but all of them are capable of giving tingling sensation to your tastebuds. Staff is amazing..
Cute little brewry. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They serve food from Meanbao which was spectacular. There's a small dog friendly patio. Definitely be back here with my pup to enjoy more from that menu amd another great flight of beer. 10/10
It was my first time visiting radical road, and I was a big fan! The staff were great, very friendly and attentive. The food is provided my mean bao and it was delicious, and of course the beer they make was very good. I tried the Saison and the easy peasy pale ale, both were great. They also do live music, and I was a big fan of the country tunes playing on the patio. Overall fun vibe and great spot to hang and take in the sights and sounds of leslieville. Definitely plan on visiting again soon.
Lovely brew pup with delicious beers! Love their IPAs and it was good to see they added Mean Bao to the venue. Great eats to pair with their brews. We had a newborn in our group when we went last and the bartender was very accommodating and friendly so we very much appreciated the hospitality. Highly recommended when you're in the area.
First time here and I will definitely be going back! Awesome beer and the bartender Ashley was so lovely!!
Ashley is an excellent server and the yuzu beer has absolutely changed my life for the better. Can t wait to try new beers on the menu!
Great bar great service by Ashley
Service was great, Ashley is very attentive!
Ashley provided great service and amazing recommendations!
Nice vibe bar with great beers - the yuzu and cucumber mint were both delicious.
Great beers, good vibes & fun seating
Everyones friendly, staff are awesome, beer is good.
Freshly brewed, small batch beers with great service. A must visit for any craft beer enthusiasts.
Great service, beer, and food. Top notch staff and beers.
Amazing service from Dash and Jasmine! Been to several bars on Queen Street East tonight and this was by far the friendliest with the best service.
This is an awesome place! The folks here are friendly and the service is amazing!
This as a graphic designer makes my OCD hurts Great beers!
The Yuzu Pale Ale is life changing
We didnt try food but the beer was really good. They do sample flights which we really like. We tried 4 different beers; all winners. Nice, cozy, quiet, place with a really fun bartender.
A great place to grab some great beer. I love their beer flights, which allow you to try a variety of small servings. My favourite is their yuzu beer. Food suppliers change, but I loved Fringale!
First off- the Calzones here are amazing! Lots of selection and variety. My favourites were the mushroom/blue cheese and the curry one (Japanese curry!). The beer was pretty standard but their pilsner was really fresh tasting (it was a new keg). Their sour, IPA and lager are all good intro beers for those who are just getting into craft beer. Overall a fun little brewery with a great kitchen in the back that specializes in the best calzone Ive ever had! Vegetarian options: Mushroom calzone and eggplant parmesan calzone, Caesar slaw is vegetarian too!
Great pub with great beer (and friendly staff!)
It is possible to order some food here. Beer is good.
Great atmosphere in a smaller but comfortably sized location! Bartenders are super chill and like getting an idea of what drinks youd enjoy, along with offering some insightful suggestions of their own if you want. Their variety of brewed drinks are also a joy, especially if you like sours. Im also a fan of their Slingshot, and the PBRR!
The beer is good, and the staff and ambiance are better!
One of the city s hidden gem, try the baos!
If I you have any peanut allergies, Avoid this place. Try don t answer their phone or accommodate. You get what you get 2/10
Peach Sour was perfect, nice patio seating.
Just tried to call in for an order over the phone. Guy picked up says hello!?. So I asked if it was Radical Road, then he blurted I just said that 4 times! Ok, I didnt hear him so maybe there was a bad connection, give people the benefit of the doubt. I asked if I could pay for some beers to go and pick them up then straight up says, no, no way, were super slow and closing up! Come on man, sure I understand that and have worked in service but show a little more respect than that. Im saying this cause normally all the staff there are super awesome and very friendly and personable.
Nice selection of beers. Wasnt there for food so cant comment, but they did have a popup with Mean Bau which I have enjoyed in the past. Friendly knowledgeable bartender.
Stop #3 on our brewery crawl. I tried the cucumber mint beer since the whole idea of this day was to get out of our comfort zone. Surprisingly enough I enjoyed it. Nice and easy drinking beer. It was light and refreshing, would be good to enjoy in the backyard after a long day of yard work in the sun! We got some food here. The BAO sandwiches are great, two would be fine for lunch alone. Tried the jerk chicken and the pork belly, both were awesome. We had a couple of 20 something guys with us who were enthralled by the boxes of trivial pursuit cards on the tables!
Love the variety at this place. Everything they output is fantastic!
Great wait staff!! Tasty beer.
If you want the feeling of a REAL bar with great service and atmosphere, this is it. Barkeep was personable and a pleasure to talk to. Beer was fantastic. Food even better. You can t go wrong here.
Great local brewery. Yuzu is one of the best beers in the east end. If youre lucky, grab a cucumber mint in the summer, or an 8 Track IPA!
Very nice place. Very clean washrooms!!!
Love the beer here, and the chef recently changed, and the food is Highly recommend!
Had a great night at this brewery, they have great beer, awsome atmosphere and amazing service. They were having a free trivia night which was a riot. Will definitely visit again.
Great atmosphere! The service was excellent and the flights were reasonably priced.
Really liked the yuzu lager. Removed a star because we were having an enjoyable experience until we were handed the payment machine without asking for the bill or even seeing the bill. An odd service experience. It felt like we were being rushed out despite only being there for just over half an hour. I had intended to purchase cans to bring home but that did sour the experience a bit.
I stopped by here after ordering a pizza from across the street. My plan was to grab a flight, then the pizza, and come back to have a glass of the one I liked the most from the flight. First off, because they serve food, they wouldnt allow outside food. Annoying, but fair enough and understandable. But the reason I wouldnt go back is a lack of choice. They had 5 beers on tap, and they were no stouts, or strong IPAs, or anything special. They had different ones in cans that I wanted to try, but they werent on tap. I did take a few to go, with one of them being the Cucumber/Mint Kolsh. I was so pleasantly surprised by this, that I do wish I got a couple of them. Overall its not a bad place, just not one Id go back to.
Stop in time to time after work for a pint. Beers always crisp and fresh. Food is absolutely wicked (recommend the sliders) and the service is unreal. Every bar tender is incredibly kind and super fast with service. Dash in particular definently stands out with amazing customer service. 10 /10
Bomb beers
A great brewery I was happy to find in the area! Good service, good beer and good vibes all around
Service could be better. It s okay for a drink
Bartender was overwhelmed with a group of 10 and was rude in the process of serving
Cozy atmosphere. The trivia questions on the tables really added to the fun!
Great Monday evening with a flight of the 4 beers available in the house, delicious baos and extremely friendly staff.
The service was excellent. We order baos and they came quickly and were delicious. Stouts were tasty. Will definitely be returning here. Comfortable atmosphere.
Great neighbourhood spot !
uber had delays on finding a driver, the restaurant wasnt paying attention and let 3 drivers go by, I didnt get my order. ridiculous that they were so absent that this happened. In response to the store; I called 30 minutes before closing (1 hour after I placed the order) to let them know the driver was close by. No one answered the phone despite the several times I called. It was entirely in your control.
They served me 2 regular strength beers in such small glasses for $10 each that combined they were less than 1 pint size. So its $20 plus tip for a pint. A bit pricey!
Awesome beers and snacks! Staff chased after us for 2 blocks to return a bag we forgot at the table. So sweet!
I came randomly on a Tuesday after watching a game at another sports bar. It felt like a cool place. Ill probably ask more friends to come next time. Also, I am looking forward to try their beers that I purchased for home
Lauren was so awesome ! Runs the bar like a champ and honestly was the sweetest human to deal with ! Look forward to coming back here for the unreal service
Amazing service. Great staff. Come back for the staff. The beers are awesome too. But
The mango-pineapple sour is delightful. The bartenders are lovely too, but the bar is often understaffed.
The fried chicken and pork belly bao were delicious The beer is great too
just great
Good range of craft beers and open for carry out past LCBO/Beer Store hours.
Great service, delicious Bao sandwiches, and an array of drinks that led to some sublime imbibing.
Cute patio, refreshing sour beers, chill vibes!
Great flight of beers. And I was the only one there.
We spent a very relaxed Sunday afternoon on the patio, looked after by Jacob with excellent service and suggestions. We will definitely be back and recommend to friends.
Excellent food and custom service every time we have dined in or done take out.
Great, clean and good service.
Service was great but almost $16 for one single small pint of beer? Come on..
Nice place. Been there a couple times. Great beer selection and friendly staff.
I love this place, great beer and atmosphere. I highly recommend
Ordered few drinks on Uber! Order got accepted, waited 3 hours called no answer ! Luckily Uber cancelled my order, why accepting the order if you can t deliver and wait for me to cancel so I still get charged ? Never again
Great wee bar! Weve been staying in the area for 12 days for a workshop and this has been our go to bar several times now - friendly service every time and a great selection of beers (only slight complaint is the lack of a non or low alcohol beer option). Take out beers great too. If we lived here wed be here all the time! Sad to be leaving but hopefully be back sometime in the future.
Awesome place, really amazing staff, great wine & beers, well worth a visit.
Amazing little Brew pub I just discovered. Great staff, delicious food, tasty beer!
The best brewery in Leslieville. Always a rotating selection of beers with the regular staples, providing a great variety for everyone. The food here is delicious thanks to Mean Bao. The vibe is super cozy and comfortable.
Outstanding, delicious and varied beer, ales and other craft offerings. The staff are amazing and I cant wait for Covid to be over so I can enjoy the interior of the bar and try EVERYTHING on the menu !
The hibiscus gin is amazing!
Had a super weird experience last Saturday. Walked in with my partner and sat at the bar. He went to the bathroom and nobody acknowledged me the entire 5 minutes that he was gone. He came back and we were given a drink menu another 5 minutes after his return. 30 seconds later, another couple came and sat next to us and were immediately greeted quite warmly and given menus. It just made me suddenly aware of the colour of my skin and lack of diversity in this place. Ive been in the past and loved it but felt super unwelcome and uncomfortable. We ended up leaving and grabbing pizza and drinks across the street.
Great beer. Love the cucumber mint one. Friendly staff.
Just stopped by on Easter weekend and pick up a bottle of Rye made in Niagara. Open window curb side service available from cheerful staff!
Awesome vibes with awesome beer. Square Waves is my personal favourite, but lots of other beers to choose from!
The rum is fantastic and OMG the Rye is incredible and can stand up to any product on the market. Great customer service. You will not be disappointed.
Nice IPA! More information about beers needed on website. Would order for home delivery if more details available
This place is amazing. Bao at a brewery? 5 stars. Also make sure you go on a week day when Ashley is working. No better service in Toronto
Good place n amazing staff. Loved their beers n baos especially jerk chicken bao. They have a good spread of beers, I tried Saison n Gwildor, both were nice to taste and smell.
First time coming here and I enjoyed myself and would definitely be back.
The server that we had today was unresponsive, unattentive, we asked to split the bill, his answer was you got a tell me that before 30 min for our drinks, love the place but poor service at least from this guy. Usually servers are amazing
I have ordered a few times from this place and they are constantly are shorting me on my orders. Its been so many times that it feels like its been on purpose not innocent mistakes.
Beer was excellent, the pulled pork bao was a little dry, service was excellent.
Tasty beers, good job making a comfortable patio on what is a fairly busy road.
Great bar, great staff and great food. Tried the flight and the selection was solid. The yuzu beer is definitely one to try and something you cant find at many other bars. Also ordered the cold noodles and some baos which were fantastic. The pork belly Bao was absolutely delicious and Id recommend.
Amazing service and the yuzu beer is delicious!
Amazing vide, delicious brews and top notch food.Staff are awesome 13 out of 10
Great local beer! Amazing service. Nice relaxing chill place.
Love this place. Mean bao food with great beer, you cant go wrong!
Best people in the neighbourhood
I am a big fun of their beer. I regularly drink their beer at home as well. They were friendly and I felt cozy.
Ashley is simultaneously the best bartender Ive ever had and most awkwardly wild person Ive ever met, in the best possible way. 10/10 beer was good too. Would rate higher if I could.
Good beer, friendly staff and decent snacks.
Walked past this as we were taking social distancing walks during the COVID lockdown and decided to grab some beer home. First, I d like to clarify that the beer is excellent. Highly recommend to take home. However, I am leaving 2 stars solely for the service or lack thereof of the lady who was behind the counter on Wednesday (5/13) at about 6:30pm. She did not greet me, nor did she spend any time explaining the beers (instead pointed me to the board) when I asked for clarification on some of the beers available. Even when I said thank you, there was no acknowledgement. The hostility was shocking, especially since she was customer facing. Please understand I know that it s COVID and perhaps she wanted to reduce any kind of interaction; however, there was a plastic screen beteeen the both of us, and secondly, even a smile would ve made a world of difference.
Fantastic atmosphere, their Yuzu Pale Ale is 10/10
Ashley always amazing to see you! The cucumber mint kolsch is the BEST! You were right about the gin... tasty
ASHLEY SERVED US. SHE STOOD OUT. AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE RESTAURANT AND OVERALL STAR. LUCKY TO HAVE HER!!!!
Good beer, very nice and considerate server/owner. The blankets helped to keep us warm.
Loved the vibes and the beer. Really pleased they offer delivery now!
Lively crowd, with a pleasure of all the above cough below
Unique beers
Good beer, food, and service
Great little brew pub. Nice ambience and good food. Beer list just a little too trendy for a dinosaur like myself, but the Slingshot tastes fine.
Loved the new Yuzu IPA! Even took some bottles home. Didn t eat there, but the food I saw at other tables looked good!
Love their beer and food menu. Tasty snacks that go well with the beer. Not a ton of seating, so try not to go at peak times. Good selection of beer to take home.
A small, friendly place, with a fantastic little bunch of brews.
I love everything about this place. Every single beer I sampled (Yuzu pale ale, Yuzu IPA, Beer , Sour) was excellent. Best fried chicken sandwich I ve had in town. Great service.
Nice and cosy. Good beer choice
Nice selection of beer and friendly staff. Popped in here briefly and had a great time. Would come back!
Had a flight, loved every beer. Had 2 apps - both so well done (buffalo chicken and pretzels) and we tried two of the sandwiches - phenomenal. I live next door and regret just going here for beer in the past.
Best
Amazing food and amazing beer! Great service and fair prices!
Beers are nice, food selection is very small and only available after 4 I think. Great servers and really nice location!
Great beer, friendly staff
awesome beer, great service and great food!
Great beer a lovely people. Love the ambiance. Yes, they actually brew great beer here.
Great beer, great service and a cool vibe.
Best food on Queen East!
Great beer; great fun
Its a wonderful location with friendly staff. The finger foods were beyond my expectations and well seasoned, delicious. You may get all the answers related to the beers they served.
Cozy spot with a good selection of beers to choose from. Staff is very friendly. I would happily return on another day.
Great beer selection, lovely staff and delicious food!!!! Will definitely be back!
Good vibe. Extremely loud.
Please staff accordingly or at least acknowledge the walk in that offered to order and pay instead of seating them and ignoring for 25minutes. It takes a second to acknowledge how busy you are and tell your deuce you will be a moment, do not ignore.
Excellent tacos, pretzels, and beer. Would definitely go back.
Nice little hole in the wall alone Queen Street worth of a visit on a hot day walking this great street
We ve been going for a while and we always enjoy the beers, neighborhood pub atmosphere, welcoming staff and good food, even if not a full menu. It is a small but lively place and we keep going back because we always have a good time.
I ordered the Yuzu pale ale and the cucumber mint kolsch along with the Parm fries. Everything was amazing and the atmosphere is great
Small micro brew pub with a great vibe. The staff are always friendly and the beers are always good. We go here quite often and love it. They even do collabs with local stores like culture athletics on their wednesday run clubs. The food has always been delicious as well - im partial to the hummus plate. Be warned, the menu is always changing and always delicious.
Really great beer, the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable about their product. While I have not yet eaten there the food does look amazing coming out of the kitchen. The Interior is dark and cozy and its a great place to relax. Definitely one of my favorite Breweries in Toronto and it helps its just a 15 minute walk from my front door.
Good Service, food and beer. Could expand selection of beer but overall still excellent
A little too busy for their own good, this brewpub isnt quite big enough to seat the crowds that gather on weekends, and the speed of service suffers as a result. Food portions are a little small, although very tasty.
Always fantastic beer and great food.
G O R G E O U S! You can feel the love and passion behind this Tap Room. I also love a place that offers both Battleship and Connect 4, nothing like a good oldrinking game. The service we received was wonderful and engaging. I enjoyed both of my beer selections - Salvation and Cucumber Mint, which the CM will be a summer must. If you can pack in a third, I recommended the Yuzu.. Flavourful + Delicious!
Great vibe and music. Service and beer were also great! Kitchen wasnt open so they let us order pizza from across the street. Also very clean. Would recommend!
Great beer but poor service. If i was a dude Im sure i would have had better service.
Andrew is the best!! So is Rachel. Check this place out... amazing service and amazing beer!!!
Really cool little brewery with a great selection of unique beers. Each one tasted great, but the Key West (key lime gose) was my favourite. The cucumber mint was also great and something very different. Note: they have a small selection of table games to play while you enjoy your pint or flight.
Fair prices and a unique little brewery. You have the option to buy some for home. They also sell some merchandise (i.e. tshirts). Friendly staff with a cozy atmosphere. Not meant for super large groups though.
Love this place! Its pretty small with limited seating but their food is unbelievable and the beer is really fresh tasting. Went there 2 days in a row and definitely plan to return!
Cool and cozy space with some really unique beer options and table games available. Have not had the food yet. Great place to for a cool or rainy day.
Cucumber Mint beer. I know, it sounds weird, but its a really great and refreshing beer. In fact, all the beers here were really good. The atmosphere here is that of a bar. Not a ton of tables, but a lot of space at the bar. The place is clean and perfect to sit and grab a flight. The bartender at the time was knowledgeable and made conversation with us. We traded beer recommendations and he let us read one of the craftbeer books behind the bar. We didnt get the food, but based on the beer alone, this place should not be skipped if youre looking for micro breweries in the area.
I love this place. Great microbrew pub.
Great beers! Friendly staff!
This review pertains to a recent restaurant visit (Aug 2018); first the good... excellent staff, excellent beer, excellent gazpacho, nice environment in spite of no a/c. GF would not agree on this last point. Now the one disappointment IMO... the monkfish main. $20 dollars for the world toughest fish. Overall the flavours worked for me; less so for the GF. Im not a monkfish expert but this cant be proper texture. Hence, -2 stars from original 5 star review (see next). If I could convince the GF to give RRB Co. a second chance Id return. If it was up to the GF this would be a 1 star review and there wouldnt be a return visit. The following is my original review from Summer 2017... This is a beer only review from my abode in the Beaches. Highly recommended Sling Shot California Common lager. As you can see in the glass, a deep presentation. Also had the Ace Hill Vienna Lager also nice but the Sling Shot edges it out. Note: Ace Hill Beer Co. has no presence on Google Maps so I cant say any kind words vis-a-vis its product but nice characteristics as well.
Great food great beer, friendly staff and take-home beers available.
Excellent microbrewery with good food and excellent service. The buffalo wings were are among the best that Ive had. Most of the beers were light and refreshing. Great for the hot August when we went. Looking forward to coming back and trying more items.
Amazing food.
Always a great time at this bar, staff a super friendly and knowlegable about beer selection! Great food , highly reccomend the cucumber mint beer!
I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in here by chance. The house micro brewed beers and extremely well.done not mention the ability to purchase beer to go at a very reasonable price. The menu is more than enough to be able to sit down and have a great lunch or light dinner. Looking forward to going back and grabbing some merch.
Great staff, friendly and welcoming. Nice and cosy and some fantastic beers brewed on site
Loved the hastings draft
Just loving it! Great stuff and good beers! The tap is amazing!
Price point on the take home cans from the brewery is good here! Always enjoyed the food, and the service has always been good anytime we have been in.
Grab any beer and some food, they make a perfect pairing ilove everything about this place but the stouts and porters, not my style of beer . Yuzu and cucumber kolsch
