Great time!! Went there to watch the game. Food was amazing, had the wings. Ben was are bartender, he was attentive and talkative. Poured are drinks all night and kept us laughing. Highly recommend Local!!!
First time visiting Leaside Pub and we were so impressed. The service was amazing, our server was fantastic. We had the fish and chips and it’s a MUST try!! Creamy coleslaw and the tartar sauce was unbelievable!! 10/10 recommend!!
I stopped in purely to check the place out, as I had never been by despite living in the area for more than 15 years. I loved the nostalgic feel of the decor and the no-nonsense menu. I ordered a salad and it was delish! Nice and bright, welcoming and friendly, I will definitely be back!
I'm so glad I made the decision to have dinner here. I ordered the liver, onions and bacon entré and everything was cooked to perfection and seasoned carefully. My server was also very welcoming and made the recommendations very easy. Overall I will definitely come back with friends.
We came here last week for a meal and were not disappointed! The service, food and atmosphere were great and it was the perfect place for a beer and a burger or pub meal. Thank you also to Dehnim for being a great server! :)
Unpretentious neighborhood pub. A good amount and diverse tap selection. Wings was good , the fish tacos was wonderful and not tilapia or basa ! Unfortunately the chili on the nachos tasted dried out and reheated . Service was very good !
Stopped in for brunch and a beer. It was a nice day so we sat on the patio. The inside looks like a typical pub, poorly lit with dated furniture, which is just the way I like my pubs. The food was pretty good, it was a standard breakfast, not bad and not great, just good. Most important is that the price is right for what you're getting. I will be going back.
We ordered delivery from Leaside Pub and really enjoyed it last night. We ordered the chicken club and Thai chicken stir fry. First off, both meals were very fresh and very reasonable. 9/10 rating on the chicken club with pub fries. It was a good size and really fresh which puts it over the top. 10/10 for the Thai chicken stir fry. Again, very fresh and lots of veggies with good chunks of chicken with a little bit of a kick with the noodles. Would definitely recommend both. Enjoy!
Great food and service that way I always come back here.
What you would expect of a pub. Nothing special.
$11 beers seems excessive
Great food and wonderful staff!
Great food, great location
It was wonderful to see Rachel Chernos Lin celebrate her victory as the new City Councillor for the area. And to see Mayor Chow and so many Councillors there to join in the celebration.
Best pub in Leaside! Darts, Pool, wide selection of beers, daily food specials, great wait staff! What else can you ask for.
Great place to relax after work!!
Its a good location and service is excellent.
lovely place
Parking: Be careful with parking lot entrance and exit. The entrance is on the south side of the restaurant. Service
very nice front patio overlooking a busy street for vehicles but not pedestrians. forgotten side patio (not always open) and the impressive medieval main dining area. food quality is avg but i appreciate the draft beer selection especially czechvar from CZ special thx to clerk/server #11 who provided a genuinely kind service
Prices are too high but service is good
Great service
I love this unpretentious neighbourhood pub! It s been a fixture for years and a huge part of the community. I always enjoy myself here either having a glass of wine with a friend or watching sports or playing darts. It s more the type of place to go with tried and true friends or just for a reasonably priced night out- maybe don t get engaged there, but otherwise it s a fun atmosphere.
I was there to celebrate my friends birthday. The service was excellent and the food was good.
Favourite local spot Very chill. Good selection of beer + pub food. Friendly service!
Love this place . Good hearty meals of many ethnic varieties , friendly staff a bonus . Please don t get rid of this place for yet another condo ! Food
The Leaside Pub is a good restaurant but not great. It has a traditional pub style atmosphere which I like and decent service. The food is okay (pub style) but could use some improvement as it isn t as high quality as other pubs. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone wanting comfort food and it s perfect for a group dinner with friends. I would recommend the Mac & Cheese balls and the fish and chips for anyone eating there.
A non pretentious location with heart. Our waiters were absolutely great. Pub food was good. Lots of Tv screens to watch women (yeah) and men sports live. On one occasion, I had the dumplings. Then the tasty veggie burger. Side Patio had lots of room. At one point, I was hoping the place could offer more local craft beers and now they do. Thank you for caring about customer suggestions. You rock.
I had a disappointing experience at Leaside Pub recently. I called the day before to confirm they would be showing the Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, and a man, who I can only assume is the manager, assured me they would. However, when I arrived at the pub for the game, I discovered they had decided not to play it. This was incredibly frustrating, as I had specifically chosen Leaside Pub based on their confirmation. Thankfully, we ended up going to the bar across the street, LOCAL Public Eatery Leaside. Despite being full house, they were able to accommodate us and we enjoyed the game there.
Great staff and great food. The only thing wrong with this place. A disagreeable man who watches golf. His name is George. He is rude to everyone
Food was not good this time around. Noticed the quality and portion has gone down.
Old school local pub. Im biased because they sponsor my rugby team lol! But you will love the open space and TVs, especially if youre here to watch a game!
This place is good not ony for watching sports game while enjoying drinks, but for family gathering.
Way outdated, booths are discussing full of stains like , will not return.
I never leave reviews but this was an incredibly disappointing experience. We spent $160 and 3 dishes were not finished. The chicken sandwich is literally Janes frozen patty with soggy tomatoes and lettus. The wings were extremely salty and overcooked. The baked onion soup/French onion soup still had serveal thyme stems in it with no flavour. The Fish and Chips were also soggy and had an extremely fishy taste. Everthing came with less then 10 fries per plate and the Beers were warm in dirty glasses.
I love the fish , But if you are a gravy fan like me. I could actually drink it. My go to place for fish and chips.
Roast beef deep. Tremendously disgusting Take some pride in your offerings Stale, tired, commercially purchased beef(Please don t say you made that beef yourselves. Makes it more embarrassing for you)In addition, the beef just lacked any resemblance of flavour Also, do you know what a kettle chip is? You sent potato wedges or shall we say taters. Those are not kettle chips Tried to contact owner. No reply after multiple attempts Go elsewhere
The beer tasted the best~~ The food is delicious too
Friendly staff and nice 90s pub vibes. I enjoy returning to this place every now and then.
Great local place for small or large groups.
Fish and Chips was absolutely amazing! Tartar sauce was one of the best I ve ever had. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Sports playing on the tv screens. Entrance is somewhat accessible - one step required if you re attending with a senior. Washrooms are downstairs so not very wheelchair accessible. Parking: Small Parking lot
First time since they changed the menu. Inhad fish tacos. Delicious. Staff are great. Great for a lazy lunch.
Accessible entrance is at the back. We weren t told. My companions lifted me and my wheelchair up the step. Signage of a level entrance at the back would help. Otherwise the food was great. Loved the fries!
Its a pub. Service is quick and food is what you expect from a decent pub. Atmosphere is sports bar or music and based on where you sit the server can adjust for you.
Nice place. Good beer selection. They even have DAZN if you want to watch Champions League UEFA soccer. 99 cent wing special on Tuesday s. I prefer the flats when it come to wings, the one time that I asked for mostly flats I got mostly drumsticks. That s why it s only 3 stars rating from me.
Lunch, beer, crispy shrimp tacos were nice
Waitresses were amazing and felt like home on the very first day
Local pub with a varied menu. I ordered the turkey pot pie, and was disappointed by the lack of flavour and turkey. Mashed potatoes and gravy were good.
Ordered the beef dip with garden salad as a side. The Beef dip had flavourful meat and the bun was crisp, however it does not include au jus. Also, dressing wasnt an option for the salad. When I requested to rectify the order, I was told these issues do not qualify for solution. What I did receive was good, but not having dip included with a beef dip and a dressing-less salad only yields 2 Stars.
Super friendly and accommodating to our seniors hiking group.
Cozy place, warm staff, enjoyable atmosphere. Recommended.
Good local pub. English style.... we call it sticky pub because it has carpet which is so traditional to a well worn / well loved English neighbourhood pub. Try the Mediterranean nachos. Theyre great. Servers are always friendly and helpful. Vegetarian options: Garden or greek salad are hearty and good. Parking: Awkward entrance to parking but they have about 15 spots available
A very special neighborhood pub.
Great food and very friendly staff
Great local pub, friendly people and food is good too!
Server was very sweet and attentive. Food was mediocre. Chicken wings were tasteless. Food : 3/5
Just really good staff. Kind and personable. Great wings. Food
Nice place, great selection of beer, the staff is friendly. But the food, really disappointing. The burger was cold and not very tasty, the wings were just OK. The real nightmare was the potato boats. Definitely not fresh, probably from the night before.
Great local place . Service was great
Great food and atmosphere
Not clean and very disappointing.
Their peppercorn steak was so good. Tender and the peppercorn was just perfect. We also had calamari and sweet potato fries. Though the server who helped us, wasnt good. Asked for an alcohol drinks menu and what recommendations she could give us but didnt bother to give any. Not sure if she was tired or something but the food was awesome. Been here 2x first wasnt that good coz of the server but we enjoyed the food, second was better
Great place, wonderful staff, food was great!!
I dont live in the area but I love this place. It has the ambience of a proper pub. The service and the food was very good
Nice pub and restaurant on Laird just south of Eglinton. Steak and hamburgers were both great. Friendly staff. Lots of families on early Friday night - nice.
I ve been here a few times with my boyfriend and it has never disappointed! Really nice and warm atmosphere, great customer service, and awesome pub food. As a bartender myself I couldn t help but notice that our bartender Bradley was very kind, funny, and attentive - despite the fact that there was an event going on and he was quite busy. I recommend the fish and chips!! Tartar sauce is awesome. We ve been to the place across the street. I found it overpriced and over rated. Come here if you want good food and nice people! Thanks guys and keep it up :)
Excellent service and the food came quickly and was excellent pub fare. We arrived with a large group, but they didnt flinch, provided great service and no one was waiting for another drink, or for food while everyone else had received their meals. Staff was friendly and fast !
Pre-hockey game dinner for a table of 16. Servers were awesome as was the meals. Definitely a AAA+
Great staff, nice pub, decent food, darts.
Loved the food and drinks. Ordered the Korean BBQ Chicken Wings, Fish and Chips. In drinks the bartender served Long Island Ice Tea even though it wasnt on the menu. So ask for your favorite classic cocktails cause they just might make it for you. Also tried the Asahi Japanese Beer. The Creme Brulee was nice but could have been better. The wait staff was very attentive.
Great local pub in Leaside! People are friendly and welcoming. Food is ready good and they have a good selection of beer on tap. Definitely recommend for lunch, dinner with friends and family.
Horrible experience. If I could rate this in the negatives I would. After sitting there for ten minutes, the bartender had to track our waiter down to tell him he had a table. He came right over, no apologies for making us wait, nothing. He brought us menus and took our drink order. Drinks were brought over a few minutes later. Then we sat there for another ten minutes while our waiter vanished yet again. He served the larger party table and seemed to blatantly ignore us. Please note: there were five, maybe six tables with patrons throughout the entire establishment. It was nowhere near busy. After more than twenty minutes of sitting there in a nearly empty establishment without food orders being taken, I went to the bar and asked to pay the bill. The bartender was visibly irritated that we were still waiting. The waiter came over to our table, chipper as can be, and gave us our bill. Zero acknowledgement of the wait. Zero explanation of why he ignored us. Zero empathy. Zero apology. He did not care. He did not offer to comp our drinks ($10 worth). He did nothing except not serve us. I complained to the manager who also didnt offer to comp our drinks nor offer any explanation about his employees abysmal service and behaviour. He only said he would discuss it with him. He also seemed indifferent to the ridiculous experience we had. The waiter in question had a long beard and reddish hair. Worst waiter ever. Due to the complete lack of customer service, empathy or service in general, my partner and I will not be back.
For a local pub, you can t beat this one. This is a Leaside staple. Great food and service. You always feel welcome. If the locals love it you will to.
Good food and sevice and fun to play darts
On Monday evening, a friend and I went to The Leaside Pub and were fortunate enough to have Harmony look after us. She was just terrific. She was friendly in a real genuine kind of way. She was a welcome breath of fresh air, and she made our evening that much more enjoyable. Thank you to The Leaside Pub for a fabulous meal, and thank you to Harmony for being so professional, caring, and beyond amazing! Cheers!
When my friends and I go there for wings and beer, there is always some tempting in the daily specials menu that ends up in front of me instead. Good food and a fun, friendly atmosphere.
The best fish n chips in town - delicious coleslaw and tartar sauce......best meal I ever had in a longtime- Keep up the good cuisine Leaside Pub
Amazing experience any day of the week, treat kids with respect on all levels ;)
Variety of good food and drinks. Convenient place for the surrounding community for food and drink. Meet my buddy late at night and we walked to this pub and had a couple of drinks, luckily the pud closes at 12 midnight and we had a good time at the pub. CHEERS!!
This place is cozy. Bradley is a great bartender. Love coming here!
Great food for their prices and a wonderful pleasant atmosphere
First time here, and I was very impressed. This pub is excellent and has an amicable and inviting atmosphere. It is a great place to go with friends if you want to watch sports or play pool. I ordered the chicken club sandwich, the chicken was tender, and the bacon was perfectly cooked on multigrain bread that was also toasted perfectly. It was accompanied by potato wedge-style pub fries that were also cooked to perfection, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Looking over the menu, I noticed they had a great wine selection and an incredible array of food items, with very reasonable prices throughout the whole menu. Listed on the board was their weekly special, and yes, one of them was wing night. The service was excellent. I had a young man with light hair serve me. He was very attentive and friendly. Food came out promptly!! I can see why this establishment has been around as long as it has; great place definitely recommend coming here if youre looking for fantastic pub fare and a homie atmosphere!!
Meh. For a sports pub kinda important to have the sports channels....
Great ol school vibe bar...but then again, so is the downstairs washroom.
Great Bar for Food and Drink.
Good quality food and reasonably priced drinks and specials
great service, food is meh
Great service, great food. What more do you want in a pub!? Decent selection on tap, family friendly, and a small quarter table for a quick game or 3 of Boston.
Fun place to watch sports games. Wings were yummy, nachos were medium. Nice go to spot in the neighbourhood
Fun place for casual dining. Wait staff are friendly and the menu has a decent variety of standard pub fare. The TV volume can be really loud when sports games are airing, making it a bit challenging to hear everyone in your party. Overall, The Leaside Pub is a favourite neighbourhood gathering spot!
Ive been going to Leaside pub for years, mostly to play darts. The owner Param helped me out while I was in college by letting me interview him for a journalism project. They also support a lot of local teams. Good food and reasonably priced.
Thank you Leaside Pub for being a generous and active supporter in our community. We appreciate all that you do in support of our local schools!
Great local pub. The service is very fast and friendly. The food isnt spectacular by any means but good for pub food and a big selection. There are a ton of TVs at all angles so its great for watching sports.
lots of fun. Dinhem and Sara are great servers. Param is always nice to talk to. comfort food for great price. simple at home pub.
Good menu variety. Fresh. Great staff. Excellent pricing. Brunch is nice and Saturday steak Night.
Great food.....try the Bangers & Mash and next time the Steak & Guinness pie.....both great! Either way or whatever you try.....its good!!!
Bit of a sad place and atmosphere on a Wednesday evening. Very few people. Poor beer selection. Wont be going back
Love coming here. Wings Tuesdays are the best.
Really good 99c wing deal on Tuesday evenings; the quality of the wings are on the better side. Great selection of beers on tap as well, good ribs, friendly atmosphere, good selection of sports on screen (both tennis and baseball were on at the time), and above all, very pleasant and positive service - thanks for having us, will surely come again.
A good spot to grab a quick quiet drink. Has a few patio tables. Plenty of parking available
The food was really good, I recommend getting Cheese and Salsa Nachos as an appetizer. The Beef Sliders were on point, and the Pub Chips were really good. Our waiter was really kind. They have lots of entertainment: TVs, Dartboards, and, a Pool Table. The Pool Table was crammed next to a dining table though. Overall I would rate it a 5/5. Kid-friendliness: Surprisingly its a kid friendly pub!
Great place to get together to watch a game or get caught up with friends. Lots of import beers but lacking on local craft beers. Solid food menu. A neigjbourhood staple for many years!
The Clam Chowder was amazing along with the grilled cheese sandwiches. Great Pumpkin Dunkin on Tap and The Boat cocktail was amazing!
Best pub in midtown, great service, great food and beer selection.
Having been going to the Leaside Pub for years. Always great good. Fast service. Place is a bit run down but great for watching the game or meals with friends/family. Love the pub chips.
I got the chicken fingers and fries, my friend got the beef pot pie. The prices are decently priced especially for the area and the service was friendly. Your typical pub food, when I go again I ll get the beef pot pie, that was particularly delicious! They also have an excellent selection of beers on tap that can accommodate to all different beer drinkers!
Deliscious food, acceptable prices, great atmosphere and service. Will return
Excellent food, comfortable environment. I would recommend stopping by.
Fresh beer, delicious burger. Good place to watch a game also
Nachos were total garbage. Huge chunks of green pepper and no and the jalapenos were diced not whole rings and the coverage of the toppings on the nachos were just as bad as freedom mobiles coverage half of them were not covered with any toppings.
Good pub Grub!
Very good food, excellent service, set in an old style pub atmosphere. Never disappointed. Parking at the side and rear of the pub.
Great beer and food. Friendly staff and relaxed environment to enjoy a beer with friends. Will definitely be back.
I liked the place, very good vibes and service. The burgers are good. Rich menu for a pub. I really liked it.
Hearty brunch meal with great service at this neighbourhood pub!
Excellent service from Dinh-em. Great beer. Great food. Great atmosphere. Lots of TVs and seating to watch a game
Servers were grand anticipated our needs. Food was lovely. Lovely dining experience.
Love it here. Been coming since it was fox and fiddle
Good food and decent drink menu. There is construction on the road in front of the pub, so the patio is in the parking lot right now. The food is ok and the prices are fairly average. Not a bad place for a drink, but does not jump off the page as a must visit.
Good food, friendly staff. Wide selection of beer on tap. Nice pub.
Good, fairly priced for the area. Veggie burger was a little crispy in areas.
Had a great time playing pool. Casual atmosphere. Nice pub with outside seating away from the road.
Great service and amazing food!!!
Absolutely the BEST liver and onions I have ever had! Très bien!
Great wings! We love to play pool when we come but they also have darts, many good times here! Also great service, lots of seating and great vibe!
Ive been here a few times now and the food has been great each visit. I especially recommend the Beef and Guinness pie. The beef is super tender and gravy is delicious. The staff is friendly and really fun to talk to. I cant wait to visit again.
Old school pub with excellent service.
Good place, delicious food:)
Great service and friendly staff
Vibe is cute, & wasnt too busy. Our server was great, the food not so much.
Easy motorcycle parking Good food, great service for a large group, server happy to maintain a bunch of different tabs, no auto grat
Service was awesome and the food was delicious!
Enjoyed dining outside on the patio with good food, excellent service and no bugs
Tonight after 30 minutes waiting to get my food, the waitress said we cannot give your food for takeout because it is a special deal, then I talked to manager and instead of saying sorry he said you can get it on regular price!! After 30 minutes wasting my time..!
I love their 75-cent wings. I usually order salt & pepper or Korean BBQ. Their fried potatoes are also worth ordering, but the salad options are somewhat disappointing. Im spoiled by Greek restaurants that serve fresh salads with quality olive oil. Pitchers are reasonably priced as well. Honestly, if youre craving wings and beer, its hard to beat the value for the money at the Leaside Pub. I highly recommend it.
The Leaside is certainly not trying to convince you that its a gastro-pub. Good food value on the menu, and a decent stock of cold beer. The expanded patio is a relaxing refuge. Cheers!
A decent place I was happy to find will certainly remember if Im ever up there again in the area
Lovely atmosphere! Sara is the best kind of server - attentive and great to chat with. Cant wait to come back!
Ordered 2lbs of wings and chicken fingers. I asked for two sauces but received no sauce on any of the wings. They came dry, over cooked and over looked and plain. The potatoes that came with the chicken fingers had a thick short black hair sticking out. Try reaching out but no one answered the phone. Too many things wrong at once to be a coincidence.
Food was alright, service was alright. Place is old and falling apart but staff was friendly
The perfect pub place. Nice food as well. Darts and pool tables available. Good service.
Good spot
The worst brunch ever!
Great time at this pub! Definitely entertaining and busy on the weekends. Nice rooftop patio area. The food was okay but try drinks were amazing!
Decent food, nice local pub
It was cozy and lovely and the quality of food was excellent
Honestly stopped by randomly just to use the restroom but decided to sit down and have a drink also since most places in the area won t let me use the restroom without purchasing anything lol. I was surprised to see pub more busy then other pubs/restaurants at this time of the day (2pm) which is pretty cool since I now don t feel weird for having a drink so early in the afternoon. The service I got from the bartender was great. I just walked in and sat down and somehow she knew I was there and served me my drink right away which is nice as a lot of other places may not be as busy at this time but also may not even recognize someone is sitting at the bar. Looking around people that were eating looked like they had some good food. Im curious to know what the vibe is like when a Raptors/Leafs game is on and plan to come back and find out. I also plan to try some of those 75 cent/ea wings I see people talking about in there reviews lol. If you live in the area and like pub food or just want to grab a drink id suggest checking here out.
LOVE the fish and chips there. Its awesome Leaside Pub is my husband and I favourite place. They recently added some entertainment and made it more interesting. Best place in the neighbourhood to go for fun, with great food and drinks at reasonable prices.
As a first timer, this place has the look and feel of classic pub. It is rustic and worn looking like the old established pubs over the big pond. The pub food was great, I had their potato boats and onion soup. Simple and hardy. Their pub burger looked decent too. They have lots of beers on tap too. Service was very good, we came as a large group and one server handled us like a pro. She used two machines at a time to check us out and very polite during the whole thing. For that I am coming back.
Good food and good service. Sara had her hands full with our large group of 40+. I would recommend this place.
Nice staff great food;!!!
Perfect
A gem.
Super good service!
Amazing food and reasonable prices!! Our waitress was super nice. Food came out fast. Lots of different options on the TVs. Overall one of the best bars Ive been too yet! Their fries are so good
Quickly stopped for a dine in last Tuesday November 29 and this is what Ive got. Really well served burgers and a gorgeous pint of Guinness. Price was really attractive tho. Will be back for sure.
Great place to relax
Traditional pub, good ambiance, friendly staff
This has to be the best pub in Leaside. I go to both the local and Amsterdam brewery a fair bit. But I find myself at Leaside pub more often than not. It has the best menu and I find that it has a number of favorites for my days I dont find myself ordering the same thing every time because they have a number of items on the menu that are very good. This allows me to switch it up every time I go. I recommend the fish chips the grilled cheese sandwich or the quesadillas. There is a lot more on the menu which is very good but those are the ones I lean towards.
They only care for customer who want to spend money otherwise they dont care if you ask anything else.
