The Golden Pigeon Beerhall in Toronto

Great food , great staff Good selection of drinks ! Food

Great food, drinks and atmosphere!

Good food very pleasant bartender... would return!

Honestly wasnt sure what to expect when I first went here but the food absolutely blew me away. The beef cheeks are absolutely to die for. Highly recommend it.

Schnitzel double-down is unreal! Ski-ball game is quite loud. Food

Had the braised beef cheeks and spaetzle and was quite possibly the best meal I ve had this year. Seriously. Beat out the spaetzle I had in Munich. Great pint selection too. Well done team.

First time eating there. The server was amazing, and everyone enjoyed the meals and drinks. Extra shout out for having a selection of alcohol free drinks.

The server was very rude to my japanese friends They were new here and there is no culture of tipping The service was aweful and she still got angry and asked for tips by herself and started talking loudly and made them feel scared and uncomfortable Food : 1/5

The place is off the wall. They have games, great staff and the food is just on point. If you are on parliament, this is a must.

Very fun hangout location.

Despite being busy, staff were friendly and upbeat. To die for spatzel mac n cheese and poutine!

Went during Cabbagetown festival for the first time for a quick snack and a bev and recieved quick and efficient service. Pretty neat that they had oysters. Inside seems much more of a better vibe than the outside seating.

Great staff, delicious food, and a super chill vibe with great music and games.

This place should be embarrassed to serve the chicken wings that they do.

Surly waiters, pretty slow service. Food was okay though.

The service and atmosphere of this location were stellar, but I was unimpressed with the food. The chicken wings I ordered must have come from malnourished chickens. The pretzel was mediocre and quite small. The zucchini fritters were legitimately the best part of the meal by a long margin. The beer selection is excellent. Tons of variety with three of my favorite beers on tap. Great place to go if you love beer and want to have a great time trying some excellent brews with friends. Cocktails are great too. I have mixed feelings about this restaurant but I would go back and give it a second try.

Very nice atmosphere and gorgeous interior. I enjoyed oysters and will come back again.

Female bartender was very unfriendly. Will not be going back

Great food, great staff, fun location to hangout.

Have become somewhat of a regular which, for me, is very rare. I rarely, if ever, make a concerted effort to go back to restaurant to eat. but ive been back here so many times. Its a great place to grab a couple of beers and some great food. I come back exclusively for the bone marrow and the beef cheek. flipping fantastic. they have rotating soups as well, and each time ive had the soup its been delicious. If youre unsure whether to give this place a try, dont be. head on in.

Great pub and good food

This used to be The Tilted Dog (and before that Local Gest, and Ben Wicks) and has reopened with a new look and new games. Skee-ball, pinball, and classic arcade favourite Ms PacMan. Food was delicious, great beer and wine selection - we agreed if we still lived in the area we d spend too much time here!

came in for one beer, they served 2 glasses of water and there was some kind of game going on at that time

Simply the best! Food variety it s great, whatever you feel like they d have something you d fancy. Drinks also great and service is TOP! You cannot go wrong with coming here.

Awesome food, friendly staff, solid spot!

Awesome, awesome food. Great vibes. Good beer. What more could you want?

Sadly this place wasnt great I go there try their burger was very disappointing first I order a plain burger and a cheese burger with fries $45 after on my way home me and my dog wanted eat and realized that it was 2 cheeseburger couldnt give 1 to my fur baby. As a former burger joint owner and french Canadian Im disappointed to see I paid $45 for 2 cheeseburger with process cheese and way to much spice or black pepper on the fries at least if my burger where close to $20 each my cheese wasnt processed wont be going there again for sure just sad because I do miss tilted dog

Food was INCREDIBLE. I would recommend coming here just for the food alone. I recommend the meat platter & the warm pretzel with beer butter amazing. The atmosphere, service and free games are great too!

First time at The Golden Pigeon Beerhall and it was a great experience. The hostess and waiter were wonderful, authentic and keen to serve. The restaurant is clean and organized. Beer selection is very good, not too much, just right. My chicken schnitzel dinner was tasty and satisfying, it was well prepared. My friends were there for about 3 hours, we had a nice time eating, talking in an unpretentious environment. I like this place.

Love love love this place! Staff are always kind and welcoming. Great beer selection. Delicious pub food - my go-tos are the burger, wings, pretzel with beer cheese and the Mac and cheese (Id recommend sharing this one as it is quite rich) The restaurant has a cozy vibe despite being a larger space and in the summertime their patio is pup friendly.

I can t say enough good things about this pub. I m super proud to call it my local watering hole. 10 out of 10, would recommend a million times.

Great atmosphere for a group outing with friends or dinner with a significant other. Exceptional service the staff is incredibly friendly. The menu food and drinks has several great options. I ve been numerous times highly recommend!

A wonderful cool gem... cant wait to go back. Excellent selection, cool/friendly staff and games l look forward to playing....oh yeah and food time permitting l enjoy....

Been here quite a few times - the food is fantastic; you can tell its made fresh and with quality ingredients. I will definitely be back soon!

Was empty when we arrived but food was excellent and good value. Games were very fun.

Had the heritage dry cider, kozel beer, and chicken schnitzel double down. The beer cheese and fries are also a must have!

Games area has skee-ball, Galaga/Ms.Pac-Man, and more, free to play. Went on trivia night which made for a fun night. Great place for big groups. Food

Shoutout to the Golden Pigeon. Staff was so fun! Pretzels and perogies were a 10/10. Perfect space for a big group- celebrated my bday with 10+ friends. My favourite spot in the east end.

My first time there and I ll certainly be back. Staff were efficient comfortable but attentive. Food and drinks were great. And just a lot of fun. Highly recommend it for a meal and a party as well had both there last night .

Went here for a friends birthday and it was amazing! The service was more than fantastic, a great atmosphere, and delcious beer! Im excited to come by again!

Had my birthday here and the staff were amazing, drinks were delightful, pretzel was clutch. Such a fun spot!

Great atmosphere with delicious food and a variety of drinks! But above all, its their great staff that pulls you in. Amazing place and definitely will be back!

This place just WOW me! Everything is so good! Great place to hang out with friends or even on a date! And their probably the best one I had!

Great ambiance and food. Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff

New fave local spot! Great service and good drink selection. Lots of free arcade and board games, feels cozy!

Good place to hang out. Beers are plentiful and decently priced, and theres an area with some games including Galaga and shuffleboard.

Great service, good place for larger groups.

Visited with a guest who was celiac, and the staff was super helpful in accommodating us and went out of their way. Food was super good! Thank you!

Great food, Great beer, great service!

I live on the west side, came here to meet up with my friend who lives in the area and I have to say the trip was worth it! The waiter was friendly, attentive and gave great suggestions. Overall excellent service. The food and drinks were delicious. Everyone was very happy with their meal. Will definitely be coming back! Vegetarian options: They had some vegetarian options on the menu, as well as veggie gravy which is nice!

Free Video and Pinball!!! Solid vibe and excellent service.

Such a great addition to the neighbourhood. Been at least half a dozen times and the staff are always super nice and welcoming. Good beer selection including a rotating cask ale, and usually a nitro stout. Highly recommend the pierogis for food. Plus free skee ball, shuffleboard, and board games!

Great atmosphere and friendly service. Good wines by the glass! Fun option to play the games. Will return!

free skeeball what more do you need

Such a friendly and attentive staff! Drinks and foods are delicious. We really enjoyed our night there. The staff is friendly, so even people who dont speak English can feel at ease at this bar. Loved the Golden Penguin house lager $8 Chicken schnitzel double-down $17.

Cute and cozy neighbourhood bar. There s a few games, some that require coins and others don t. They also have a stack of board games to use. The bartenders were so nice and provided recommendations based on what you usually drink. Clean space and bathrooms.

One of the best bars in the west end of Toronto

Amazing beer, great games and service. Super good vibes all around.

Great place. Lovely staff, tasty food and a great beer list.

Came here for a birthday party and so glad that I discovered this spot. Great & fun vibe. We Loved how it s quieter than bars in downtown toronto so it s much easier to socialize, talk and have a good time. Didn t get the chance to try their food but I am looking forward to going to this spot again to check out their food

Good counter fare and reasonably priced.

Good beer and vibe. Would go back for a drink but would eat somewhere else. Little to no vegan options. Had the flatbread without cheese and some fries; I really did not enjoy the food.

Beautiful outdoor, indoor space with quirky bathrooms and arcade games throughout. A fun place for the family to gather with delightful drinks, food and staff. I recommend trying the oysters and german-style pretzels.

Fish and chips to die for!

I celebrated my birthday here last weekend and had the best experience! It was perfect! The guests loved the place and service was fantastic. It turned out to be the easiest event to plan. Neil was so easy to coordinate with. We just had a few email exchanges to confirm the details of the drag brunch party I had in mind. On the day of, I just had to coordinate with the drag performer I hired. When we arrived, our designated portion of the bar was set up, and the sound system was ready. They were also able to provide my lemon poppyseed cake at a short notice. It was from their sister bar/cafe called Black Pony, and it was delicious! I cant wait to go back for their trivia night, jazz night, or just hang out to play arcade games or board games. It would be really nice at their patio too during summer.

Delicious, wonderfully cooked food and great drinks. The staff was very friendly and informative. The atmosphere is casual and comforting. Maleeka was an absolute joy to have as a server. Highly recommended!

A pretty great place to be honest, the service was outstanding and the food was wonderful. I tried the schnitzel sandwich double up where the chicken is the bun! I really enjoyed it and it was flavourful. Id definitely recommend this place and will be visiting again!

Went in for a couple of drinks with some friends. Decent dive bar with nice fries and hearty beer portions. Service

love the vibe and the games

Good food, awesome beer selection. Nice atmosphere with a sunken patio thats great for reducing road noise. My only complaints are that the skee-ball can be a bit loud, and smokers often congregate around the entrance stairs. But those are minor and dont ever prevent me from returning, as a local, I come here often! Kid-friendliness: Free arcade games!

One of the few places that keep my favourite beer on tap! The staff is also fantastic, always willing to chat or give me my space when I come in after a long shift

Its a nice venue with friendly service. The house beer is a solid option. My only complaints were the seating (stools in the nook) were sold metal, not too comfy, and my meatballs were dry, though the tasty sauce helped make up for that.

First time there tonight, and it was fantastic. Great bierhalle food, excellent selection of cocktails and brews. Apparently theres Tuesday night live music, usually jazz. Ill be a repeat customer, no doubt. Glück auf!

Excellent service!!!! Everyone was very attentive and friendly!! Tasty food and an atmosphere for all tastes, there is an outdoor area and an indoor area with games available!

Service is fantastic. I came towards when the kitchen was closing and as a cook I know how it is. The person in back who made my poutine must have been in a rush but I ended with foreign debris in my poutine. Hard bits that I could have cracked a tooth on. Im going to give them another shot mid day with the chef their but wouldnt recommend eating there late night. They have steins of beer so I forgive them. Its still a super fun place to come with friends or a date. Would highly recommend.

Excellent beer on tap and a great selection of food. I had the schnitzel double down and wow, it was honestly incredible. Staff was great and its a really cool spot. I would definitely go back.

Went here for drinks and snacks in their patio. Super friendly and helpful server. We ordered the house beer which was good, Perogies are fantastic with really good quality sour cream. Also Definitely get the add on beer cheese if you re getting a pretzel. The pork belly on the meat share plate was amazing but felt it wasn t very big portion. All in all it was a great meal and we WILL be returning!

The Golden Pigeon never disappoints! From one rather brief late night visit where he kitchen was kind enough to make their last call a little flexible, to this evenings experience when I visited with an indecisive friend who asked a lot of questions... the staff were amazingly accommodating, offering excellent, informed suggestions, especially as to the beer selection. Seriously the most fun spot in Cabbagetown (except for maybe karaoke up the street on Friday)... even without the skeeball... chat up the gorgeously bearded Irish fella and I dare you to tell me you didnt have a fabulous evening Wheelchair accessibility: Its a flight of stairs down, unfortunately, unless the staff have some accommodation of which I am unaware

It took us a while to visit and now has become our go-to summer patio in Cabbagetown. They feature great items from an excellent chef (previously at beloved Ceilli) and a good balance of rotating drafts (and some special bottles). Hands down, one of the best spots in Cabbagetown.

Our server was so kind and helpful, and the German-style dishes were delicious. The place has a really warm vibe, and the beer is great, too!

Atmosphere was ok. Ordered something on their menu and they substituted the meat with cold/frozen pie without asking or even letting us know after serving. Terrible service overall

Had an amazing dining experience here. Great selection of delicious beers and the food was amazing. Best bone marrow Ive ever had, for a very reasonable price. We also had the doubledown schnitzel, and the spaetzel Mac n cheese which were also super delicious. 10/10 taking guests here regularly

The service here was A+! Good beer selection at fair prices. Dont get confused about the fancy beer steins on the wall and then think when you order that, that is what you are getting. Were talking full L lol The asparagus fries are incredible Food

a very cozy and welcoming place: great atmosphere and service. perfect for larger groups - as it is quite spacious. There is a patio - below the street level, so it is cooler and more quiet there. I love the large pigeon statue mounted over the entrance - and super creative collage on washroom doors (movie stars captured with variety of birds, but mostly pigeons). Good and manageable beer selection (you dont spend a half an hour contemplating your options) - but nearly all beer styles are represented. There is draft and some tall cans, plus cocktails and wine of course. non alcoholic beer is also available. Food portions are huge so bring your Tupperware. the menu goes beyond your typical pub fare - lots of interesting choices. rather on salty side. Our server was amazing: friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and very fast. Vegetarian options: definitely more vegetarian options than in an average pub: besides salads you can order asparagus fries, macn cheese, cauliflower flatbread, veggie cheesesteak, potato and cheese pierogies and a vegetarian version of poutine.

What a special night here at the Pigeon. We happened to stumble in to the one year anniversary, and my only regret was missing the first 364 nights at this fine establishment. Bid Dave was great (may not be his name) great service and delivered my phone to me me as the Uber was about to rip away as I stumbled away from the establishment. Five stars.

loved the beef cheek !!!

Amazing pub fare, great music and the best serving team in town!

Great beer and amazing food!!

Dietary restrictions: They have been great with my tomato allergy. Food

We had an another amazing incredible meal, and evening at the Golden Pigeon! Our server Ronan was attentive & suggested amazing items from the menu. I have brought many friends to the Pigeon, and everyone has absolutely love their meals & the overall experience. Highly recommend!!!

Food is good. Beer is good. Restaurant is good. Cheers.

Dont try the cheesecake and the beer was flat but really good vibes and nice fries.

I have been 3 times to the golden pigeon beer hall and i must say it is my favourite place to enjoy beer and schnitzel. Friendly service, excellent choices of beer and the best Schnitzel I tasted outside of Germany. The live music on Tuesdays is an extra incentive to come back more often. Highly recommended

Great atmosphere. Attentive but unintrusive service. Food is very good. So. Much. Meat.

Had a great meal there. Great staff and food! Get the bone marrow..... yummy

Food was great!! Everything was homemade.

Ive been at least a dozen times. The food is always great, and specials have been impressive. Definitely elevated food over what you expect at a beer hall. The beer list has a lot of variety and rotates regularly. The games are a lot of fun. The noise from skeeball is a bit rackety in that one area, so consider sitting in another area if youre having casual dinner.

Cool new place! Would be great if you could open earlier & welcome dogs to your patio

Beer cheese!

Great games, great service and great drinks!

Had a truly epic meal of braised beef cheek. Couldn t even finish it despite my best efforts. Will be back again at the earliest opportunity!!!

Awesome new addition to the neighbourhood!

Perfect. Amazing. What we ordered was great and there was so much that looked good on the menu I didnt order. Cant wait to go back.

Amazing! The menu is superb. Highly recommend!

Had a great burger! Friendly staff. Fries were not great. Limited liquor and beer selection, no domestic. Not a fan of craft beers. Otherwise a great experience.

Happened to stop by here in a whim and omg so glad I did. Between good food and the cocktails definitely worth checking out. They even have games that you can play. Very fair pricing - definitely going to come back. The bartender was hilarious !!!!!!!!!

Good beer hall, with great food and drink options. It also has shuffle board and other games. Nice little terrace.

good for drinks but absolutely horrible food. too bad :(

Amazing new addition to the community. Service, food, patio, the rustic interior was out standing.

Great spot!! Great drinks, food is amazing. Would 100% recommend to anyone

Good food. Fun games. Good drinks - impressive beer

Went and sat on the patio with my six friends and we stayed for hours having a great time. The food was all delicious and their selection of local craft beers and cider on tap was fantastic. Great pricing and a great atmosphere. I have to come back and try the games.

Came for the free skee-ball, had a few cask ales and oysters (Toonie Tuesdays $2/shuck). The guy beside me was slamming back old-fashioneds and throwing gold into the corner pockets. Good vibes.

Its a nice place, where Ben Wicks restaurant used to be on Parliament St. Service is fine. Food is good. I found the portions small. I left hungry.

This place has great beers, food and atmosphere at a decent price! The staff were as good as the food. Looking forward to returning!

Shuffleboard, skeeball and galaga. Whats not too love?

Whether you just want drinks and a snack (pro-tip: say yes to bier cheese with your pretzel) or a full meal, all the food is excellent. The schnitzel and roast beef cheek are particularly good. If youre looking for vegetarian options, the spaetzel mac and cheese and pierogies are also great. The games are all in working order and free to play.

Great food, great service. Excellent!

Great new addition to the neighbourhood! Stopped in after work and had some fabulous snacks- the pretzel with beer cheese, pierogi, and bone marrow were all delicious. Cocktails, wine, and cider all fantastic. Will definitely be back soon!

We came with some friends on a random Saturday. It was a busy atmosphere but we didn t have to wait to get in. The food was fantastic and plenty of options. The random games, music, and friendly service topped this off as a 5 star. I would definitely come here again with a group!

The food and drinks are great, it has a fun vibe, and the staff are amazing. Go here!

Great mac and cheese, games and beef cheeks. Great staff.

Not only the food is great and their beer selection is amazing but also the staff are super warm and friendly. If you are lucky, you ll get Roman (the big bearded guy ;) as your attendant.

Great place for drinks and hanging out.

What in the actual fudge! The have schnitzel double downs!!! Calling my boys right now! Oh, and the fries.... Im going off my diet for a bit to enjoy this place.

Staff are great food and beverages are good.

The place is good for drinks and have some games available for you to play. The portion of the food is small and just okay, we left hungry

Awesome place . Must try Roast Bone Marrow. Very delicious

What a nice place. They have Wellington Brewerys Best Bitter which Ive been trying to find everywhere in town! Theyve really lightened up the interior from the previous occupants which is a nice touch. Food was great. Super filling, but thats German food for ya.

Great brews

Interesting selection of beers and friendly staff. The bretzel was average and I regret that the waitress pressed us to order the beer cheese in addition for 4$, which was not really remarkable.

Its a decent place with couple of games like dart board, arcade machines, throwing ball and a mini curling sort of game. The prices are normal and the atmosphere is pretty good. All in all, its worth a try

Incredible food, beer, cocktails, games, atmosphere - couldnt ask for more in a neighbourhood spot. Highly recommend!

Fun bar with shuffleboard, pin ball, and skee-ball. Not the most drink selection if youre not a fan of beer, but its not inhibiting. Great food too!

Loved the atmosphere at this local hangout. The food was decent, the service was superb! Try the patio if the weather allows. And the game room is a nice addition, if you are in the mood.

Lovely cozy place to meet friends or family! They have a games room, patio and inside seating. Menu is tasty! Poutine was our favourite. Lots of care goes into the food and place.

Incredible, interesting food, great atmosphere and an amazing wine and beer list. The patio is also great since it s off the street, it feels like a little getaway. Such a good go-to spot in our neighbourhood! The specials never disappoint and I m always here for a toonie oyster night! We were also able to bring our dog on the patio and they were super accommodating, and she loved it.

Proper beer hall

Excellent vibe, service, food and drinks. Will be a regular here :)

Phenomenal spot! Great food, vibes, and people.

Great place to go with friends. We had my husbands birthday party and these guys were awesome. They were accommodating with seating and the food was amazing. Shout out to our server at the time Anna for the amazing service! Amazing beer on tap and you can play games !

I ve been in this space for few iterations over the last many many years. This is the best so far. It s so much brighter and cleaner feeling with the new renovations, but still very cozy and charming. The food is also delicious. I had a clam & ham chowder that was absolutely home made and delicious.

Drink and food were fine, but quite loud.

If I die and go to heaven, I bet I ll end up at the Golden Pigeon. Ice cold beers, free games, and all of my friends. What a place.
