1078 Bathurst St, Toronto, ON M5R 3G9, Canada
Neighbourhood social house serving up modern takes on MexCal classics
Food was great, took my little guy here amd some friends for dinner. Was karaoke night and we all had a blast.
Great, had 30 people in for the best deal in town great food great bar
As a patron for over 3 years since the day I moved into the Annex neighborhoods, there is no better place to enjoy not only friendly and courteous staff, but some of the best cuisine in the City, ranging from the incredible smash burgers, pizza, fried chicken sandwiches and mains such as the chicken parm and great appetizers. If your looking for a spot to enjoy amazing food, drinks, good atmosphere and great staff there is no better spot to experience the annex neighborhood. From karaoke, live music to cuisine and awesome staff this is the spot. -Mikey
this is not edible((
The food was pretty good however the service at lunch was horrible and there were at least 3 roaches crawling around and when we told the server that there was a roach inside our napkin she didn t really acknowledge it.
Came for a night of Karaoke from out of town, The host lets our friend sing then rotates through 10 people in a single group before allowing my GF to sing and then was 4 people into his same group again before I decided to leave... seriously what a nasty host.. what a joke, guy runs a BS show.. never been that disrespected for wanting to come and spend money.. way to ruin our night in the city..
Sia was one of the best wait people I have ever met. This is a nice spot for a little get-together or a night out with some friends, very casual.
The service here was amazing and I love the layout. I got the Caesar salad. Personally, I do not enjoy the bacon jam that came on top. Definitely will come back here with a few friends.
Great sports bar with good food. Nice vibe.
Theyve really upped their game. Wonderful neighborhood pub. They were hosting a paint lounge while I was there.
I have no end of good feedback for this venue. April absolutely made my day and the food was fantastic. Eclectic and inspired drink options were a perfect pairing. I cant wait to go back!
By far the worst food Ive ever been served at a restaurant. Nachos, Pizza, Burger, Fries, everything was poor in taste and quality and this was despite the fact that I was starving before arriving here.
Chill atmosphere. Havent tried the food yet
Food is amazing, great service and good vibes
Such a cute place with relaxing jazz music playing. We went during the evening and Anne was the best host. She gave such yummy drink recommendations and was so kind and sweet. We ll definitely be coming back soon! :) Thank you again, Anne!!
I wanted to give Annex a shout out for all the vegan options they have. They have vegan cheese and patties, and do burgers, burritos, poutine, nachos and more. It s been great coming here to catch a game or just get out of the house. Staff is always super friendly and helpful with drink recommendations too. Vegetarian options: They offer a range of options from nachos to burgers and more.
Great food. Great staff!
Great food!! Fantastic
Bad. Stink.
Food was cold and the service was very bad, my poor grandma who ate there got food poisoning from the meat she ate. Stay away for your own good.
Best bar in toronto!!!!
The women who own this spot is a horrible person. She yelled at me and my kid brother
very polite, great prices, amazing food and great establishment. the waitresses were very kind and always checking up on me and family making sure if we needed refills or any extras during our time here. the food was great 10/10 and great portion sizes. definitely check this place out if you are in the area!
great people and amazing environment. the best customer service i ve ever experienced. the food is absolutely amazing!! Spencer is the best! 10/10, definitely recommend!
This was THE BEST dinner I have ever had, I had nachos and a salad while my friend ordered the burger and fries. We will never go to another place and be as satisfied as we were here! The staff was amazing, our order was taken immediately and our food was ready within 10 minutes after we ordered. It s such a good environment (my friend has social anxiety) and the waiters made us feel like we had been there a million times even though it was the first time, I have never had such a good experience eating out, 10/10 definitely go here if you re looking to grab a bite!
Great location & amazing customer service. the girls who are working are always so accommodating & sweet. ALWAYS great fresh food quality, that you can tell was prepared with love and care. This spot never fails to show us a great time! Will be back!
Me and my girlfriend went here and it was honestly amazing the food was great they made you feel at home, a waitress named April I think she was absolutely amazing and helped us decide on what to eat she was super helpful I recommend this bar to everyone it was a great experience thank you guys
Its a beautiful place to ur time..with friends and family...food is awesome..drinks awesome.. people awesome... I love it at Annex Social.
I had the Sweet Heat Pizza and it was amazing. Great selection of drinks, super friendly and kind staff. The best fries around. I swear.
Great spot in the annex to grab a drink, a meal, or watch the game! Food is legit, would highly recommend their smash burgers and pizzas are delicious too! Great sized patio in the back and lots of space inside!
The staff here are amazing! Greeted with hellos and hugs, they remember my name which is so nice. The cook needs some kind of mega award for most delicious pizza and nachos. OMG the nachos, SOOOO GOOOOD!! I love going here, our friends are here and karaoke with Steve-Oh on Saturdays is the best!!!
The service is great, friendly smiles, and warm welcoming. This place has good food and good drinks as well. I d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a conveniently located bar with comfortable class.
Delicious thin crust pizza, very cheesy
Delish food, great atmosphere, wonderful service definitely coming back to this place!
Great space for after hockey. I love the big screens too watch sports live. The food is really good. Pizza is gourmet style. Decent craft beers too. Only wish there was better no-alcohol beer. Good place to sit with teammates or friends and chat.
Good place on a Saturday night! Drinks were flowing and people having fun with karaoke Bartender was busy, but was always attentive. Next time Ill have to give the food a try. Will definitely go back!
Fancy with good food i do miss maydays but overall this place is still great for those who wanna bring someone on a date
The waitress handed us dirty beat up menus and wouldnt tell me what kind of pop they had. The burger was paper thin and the cole slaw had a very strange flavour. She never came back to check on us or to bring more water even though the place was empty. When we asked for our bill and she took away our plates, she never asked why both me and my friend left more than half of our food uneaten and why we didnt want to take the rest home.
Food was great...Karaoke Saturday was amazing but the owner has to make it every week!!! Call ahead!!!
Came here with some co-workers for dinner and the majority of us were not terribly impressed. We made reservations and had an early (I say early because by the time we left there were more patrons as it seemed more like a bar than a restaurant) dinner start at 5:15. With the exception of a few tables on the patio, we were really the only ones there initially. Two of our party arrived late and were not served menus or water glasses. Our party asked for 2 more glasses and water but it never came. One of us had to go to the bar to get them. By the time the waitress came to take our drink order, we already knew what we wanted for food. During the majority of our waiting, there was someone pounding away on furniture with a hammer and staple gun. Why repairing or reupholstering furniture at dinner time on a Friday night was a priority I dont know but it was distracting to our conversation. Service took a very long time for everything, drinks, food, bill etc. We had another venue to get to by 7 and we had to push our arrival back by 45 minutes because everything took so long. Most of us got the fish and chips and it looked nice and crispy. Sadly, I did not or my food rating might have been higher. Im not a spice person so opted out of the spicy additions to the house nachos. My nachos came out cold and were quite disappointing. The others at the table agreed that while it wasnt terrible, theyd be hard pressed to find a reason to return. Since the majority of the reviews here are very positive, perhaps it was just an off night.
Good pub. Fun atmosphere.
We tried the Korean BBQ sandwich and Nashville fried chicken and both were really good. Service was a bit slow but it s understandable since only the bartender was working.
Food: delicious especially burgers and fries. My friends and I were here for Karaoke night and had to much fun! Deusa the owner she s a sweetheart and makes delicious cocktails Recommended dishes
We had a fantastic lunch sitting street side. The staff were really welcoming and friendly.
Good atmosphere and your classic bar foods with a twist. I really like how they make their own hot sauces and pickles. The French fries were a little expensive for the portion but still tasted great
Cold beer. Good service.Old skool bar. Good for chats with randoms. Always feel welcome. This is what makes it different to other cookie cutter bars in TO. It might not be everyones cuppa tea but for those who grew up in Bars in the 90s/2000s and were used to a certain bar style then this is for you. Actual conversations and chit chat. They also have lots of different types of nights, music, karoke, darts, games etc. Check their website for deets.
The food looked 5 star, but I wouldn t know because I didn t have time to eat it due to the abysmal service. My partner and I ate there last night. There were *five* other people in the restaurant when we arrived and when we left. We were not properly informed about the specials. Our server forgot my drink order. She forgot the side I requested. She forgot to put our food order in for 25 minutes (so, our food took 45 mins to arrive). Then, she charged us full price for the special. We spent $130 on the most expensive boxed meal I ve ever had. I couldn t believe how bad it was. I was hoping a manager would speak with us and I would be convinced to return. Be warned.
Loved the breakfast burrito and homemade hot sauce. Great food overall
Three stars is being generous. The vibe of the place was nice (casual, airy) but the food was not great. Our server didn t check on us at all, and wasn t super friendly. My salad was a very eclectic weird combo of flavours.
Perfect place if you like watching sports! It s always busy during the sports games. The food tastes great and the staff is very friendly
Amazingly delicious pub style food. Everything is just perfection. Flavours are out of this world. Homemade hot sauces are incredible (so much variety!). Ordered the nachos and green Chile cheese burger with the beyond meat patty. Their nachos are so tasty and the sauces are generous. The coleslaw was the best I ve ever had! Would definitely recommend coming in for dinner and drinks. It s more than just a watering hole. Vegetarian options: Beyond meat burger, vegan cheese, gluten free buns.
Annex Social is a sleeper brunch spot that you didnt know about, that you entirely should know about. Run by some of the sweetest and most friendly staff, the star of this place are their brunch dishes that are absolutely unreal. We had a large spread of dishes, but each were phenomenal especially their homemade garlic sauce. Unbelievable and definitely worth trying out.
Health & safety need to make a stop at this place. The owner was walking around with her dog & flip flops all throughout the kitchen & then thought it was a good idea to feed him treats on the counter where food was being prepared. I also witnessed one of the kitchen staff eating chips and dipping into one of the tubs of sauce. Absolutely disgusting!
I love this bar. It s an absolute hidden gem with no reason to be hidden. I adore the staff. They re welcoming, fun, funny, and overall made me feel entirely comfortable. The food is amazing. I m working my way through the entire menu and have never disliked a dish. The crowd is eclectic and everyone I ve met has been friendly. I m definitely coming to try brunch, and for a music night. This is a perfect local to relax after work, watch a game at, or stay out far too late into the weekend.
Have you been? If not go. Great bar and immaculate vibes
Delicious Thanksgiving dinner with my family here. Catered for all our fussy family with allergies (thanks guys!) Cesars were on point and the beers were cold. The boys were happy with a game of darts. Family fun run bar!
The place. All awesome.
We had a great time at Saturday Karaoke, service, drinks and atmosphere 10/10 will be back again.
What a pleasant surprise! Sometimes the best spots are right around the corner! Literally @bianca. Our family had an amazing private event which included 3 family meal before and after. Great food! Great service! Great family! Love it! Food
Amazing staff !! Awesome venue to have live music at
The food was delicious! Great brunch spot and it s not well-known yet so we were able to walk right in. Definitely will go back.
Came for brunch and the experience was disappointing and weird from the moment we entered. Shouldve left after having to wait 5 minutes just to get a menu in a near empty restaurant (one other table). Once the paper menus covered in stains arrived, everything else took a long time as well. Food took 45 minutes to arrive at our table. No one came to check in with us after food was dropped off. Food was ok but probably some of the worst service and atmosphere Ive had in ages. Not coming back.
It was great!!
I love this place. First Ill say that the pizza is amazing: homemade crust, top shelf ingredients without spending a lot. Dave and Duza (apologies if I spelled Duzas name wrong!) are the best hosts. April also shines as a pleasant and awesome bartender. They have darts and sports games on at all times. Highly recommend!
Karaoke nights are fun. They get a solid turn out. Food is decent.
My band Road Waves played there and the vibe was on point.
A pleasant surprise...the chefs menu and food are better than expected. We discovered on a lunch walk. The server was a sweetheart. My only critique is the decor, the plain black walls, dark ceiling dont reflect the menu. Its too dark...making it not as appealing. However worth the overlook.
Great spot. We came here to take one of our kids out who lives in the area. The server was SO great....attentive and just lovely. The menu is huge with something for everyone, including GF, vegan and vegetarian. The prices are fair, and the food is solid! They also appear to have live music sometimes...... Recommend!
Great spot. Excellent food, friendly staff.
Decent place. Friendly staff
This is a sports bar with huge screens, dart boards, and counter bar. It has good food and interesting food selection especially for a sports bar. Large portions and moderate food prices.
Friendly wait staff, great great food (nachos and burgers) and good vibes, also reasonable prices!
*** Delicious choices of meals and great service ! Always a pleasurable experience.
Went here with the idea of just having two drinks but ended up staying for more. The bar tender was great. However we ordered queso and chips and found them a little bland.
We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere, however the service was a bit lacklustre. We were informed that there was a hockey team dining and it may take sometime for our food, we had no problems waiting as it was late, but we were never checked on by our server, and also never brought any water. We also had to go up to the bar when we wanted our bill. Our server was mostly socializing with other patrons at the bar that happened to be fellow staff on their night off.
Nothing special! Food was ok. Service was really slow. Have gluten free options but they didn t have the gluten free pizza crust in stock. Pretty expensive for what it is as well.
Great owner and staff. Friendly patrons. All around good place.
We had a fantastic lunch sitting street side. The staff were really welcoming and friendly. They were able to serve us quickly as we had a bit of a time crunch. All of the portions were generous and delicious! Especially loved the fries! Margarita was 10/10 - my only complaint is it was too small :) More content on Instagram @linreviews
amazing experience and great staff
Everything on the menu looked good. We had the queso and I had a burrito bowl which was delicious. Bf had a burger and fries. Fries were really good.
Lovely people, sweet neighborhood watering hole
Very good brunch! I recommend. The waffles are great!
Visiting from US & had amazing brunch. Try the eggs Benedict- made with a Latin flair. Will definitely come back again when Im in town!
Great karaoke night on Saturdays.
Awesome !
Food was really excellent! Our group tried pizza, burger and chicken! Yum yum yum
Great hot sauces. The Chef himself even came out to let us sample their house-made hot sauces.
Great experience watching the jays game at this new spot. Tons of TVs without it feeling like a sports bar. Food was excellent and beer selection is excellent with plenty of local options. The food is elevated pub grub. Manager/owner David was very hospitible and made us feel at home.
Easy to make a reservation for a big group and had a great time. Many TVs for watching sports, plus darts. Friendly service too
Perfection and then some. Went there for a live show few weeks back , best decision ever. Clean venue, good food, the prices are amazing the people at the bar were cool, sound and vibe off the hook man i thought I was in a movie set. Best experience for me for all 2022. Food
5 out of 5! Great spot very nice and great food. Watched a bit of the world cup here. Great TVs, friendly staff and drinks
AMAZING FOOD! Everything is delicious. Beautiful inside and clean! They have options for everyone (vegan/vegetarian friendly).
Delicious burgers and fries, and extremely friendly people.
Loved the show and good service.
Amazing service, beautiful atmosphere. The back patio is a must. The nachos are the correct choice! Perfect neighborhood spot.
Went here for a friends birthday and omg the food was absolutely amazing. The service was on point atmosphere was great ...if you go here and like mushrooms get the mushrooms pizza you wont be disappointed!
My first visit here and am impressed with the ambience, staff and food. Service is fast, friendly and did a great job in painting an incredible picture of the menu. Will be back and would recommend if you are in the neighbourhood.
Beautiful little patio in the back with a large tv to watch any local sports games on! Service is always on point here. But the true gem is the food. These guys have a chicken sandwich that Id gladly backhand slap my cousin for. Or anyone for that matter. Just gimme that chicken sandwich!!!
I believe it s fairly new place, hence was not crowded, which I liked. I wanted to have something light for dinner, so went for their Nachos. But little did I know I was going to have the biggest portion of Nachos I ever had and it was sooo delicious, considering it s made in house. Definitely worth checking out their Nachos!
This place was amazing the food was great here. They had amazing food and the atmosphere is like an old fashion bar and I really liked that about this place I would recommend this place to anyone wanting comfort food and drinks
Good place, nice staff.
WOW!! Lovely space and food was fantastic - we had the Mexican Ranch fried chicken sandwich and the Green Chilli cheeseburger, both bursting in flavour. The side grill corn was the best corn on a cob Ive ever had; charred and seasoned to perfection while maintaining the juice of the corn. Great people and the service from Deuze was impeccable, what a wonderful lady! Will definitely be making this one of our local go to comfort food/bar spots.
It shouldve been telling enough that there were only two people inside when we walked in, but this place had seemingly good reviews. The wings tasted like theyd been frozen and heated in the microwave. The nachos had two teaspoons of guac drizzled on top. The fries were good, drinks were tasty but expensive and decent service, hence the two stars. Ultimately, not worth $90 - take your money elsewhere.
Great food, especially the nachos and their burgers, definitely worth it. The A.S is very clean, tidy, and has super friendly staff.
Great bar
This is a great space with amazing front of house staff! They have live music and the place gets packed! The food is amazing! Highly recommend the smash burgers! The fries are out of this world!
Been here 2wice with the Mrs. great meals and friendly service both times. Breaky Burrito is killer tasty. Fried chicken sandwich is the best I ve had. Can t go wrong with this place.
We came here because Playa Cabana was fully booked last night. The place is nice inside and it wasn t busy but those are the only 2 good things about this restaurant. The nachos had me stuck in the bathroom the next morning and the wings were literally red when bit into. Not sure what went wrong but I hope no one else experiences what we did. Not worth the money at all.
Best food and drinks ever
Their burger is one of the best smash/old school diner burgers you can get in the city. The patio is big and clean and the service is exceptional. This is a great new look and we are making it our new local.
Awesome burgers and friendly staff- the Mexican street corn is brilliant. Space is large, clean, open and recently renovated. Great place to have beers and watch sports at the bar or grab a table on the back patio and have a nice meal with the family
This restaurant is amazing! Food is completely tasty and fresh. I ordered a burger with fries, Mexican corn and honey garlic wings which made me quite impressed! They also have vegetarian food. It s completely renovated, has a cozy patio and awesome vibe. Moreover, the staff is really friendly! Definitely a must see spot!
Awesome vibe Great food!!!!
Best fried chicken sandwich Ive ever had! Great vibe and decor. Winner winner chicken dinner
Great place very clean the food is amazing Staff are very friendly , the setup is great Highly recommended
Amazing Food! Cheeseburger is the best in town and the Corn salad was incredible. must try!!
The burgers here are exceptional and the service was great. Awesome patio out back as well. Highly recommend stopping by and if you re a local, this should definitely be one of your go-to spots.
Come here. Dont think about it, just do it. Great top notch service, beautiful place, and the food is bonkers. Ordered the green chilli cheeseburger...twice. I should try something else because theres so many good things, but Ill be dreaming of that burger for days to come.
Great addition to the neighborhood. Service was friendly and fun. They were really on top of keeping the space clean and safe. Food was great. The green chili burger and fries are everything you could want from a burger and fries and more!!! The pizzas are thin crust with lots of fun toppings. Lots of TVs and big screens with all the games on. Perfect place to grab a bite and a game without having to leave the neighborhood.
Great atmosphere with a lovely back patio, excellent, speedy service, and some of the best bar food I ve ever had (mexican inspired corn appetizer and chili smash burger were both out of this world). Going back there again tonight!
New spot that opened up the neighbourhood. Great food. Try the fried chicken sandwich, one of the best Ive ever had. The crema coleslaw they put on it really sets it apart. Nice vibe inside, perfect for a nice sit down dinner on one side or to watch the sports game on the other. Will return and try the burrito, it looked amazing.
Great place to go to for lunch, dinner or drinks, or to watch a game with friends. They offer indoor dining as well as a front and back patio. The smash burger, fried chicken sandwich, thin crust pizza and Mexican street corn are all amazing! The Mexican inspired cocktails are fire as well! Great addition to the Annex/Wychwood area - Highly recommended
Great place! Spacious, clean and safe during Covid-19! Great food with variety of choices! Friendly staff, great atmosphere!!! Will certainly go back in the near future!!!
Smash burger is incredible! Really kind and fun server. Nice outdoor seating. This place is a gem.
Awesome Place with great staff. Excellent outdoor dining spaces. Outside on the street and backyard patio. Crunchy Chicken sandwich a must
The burger at Annex Social is incredible. I always order the original, its a delicious smash patty dressed to perfection. Tonight I had it with a corn salad and coleslaw. So perfect for takeout. Thank you, Annex Social!
