Welcome to The Cat Pub and Eatery the western gateway to Toronto’s hip and historical Junction neighbourhood. Attentive service, good food – with daily specials – and a family-friendly atmosphere. The Cat features an eclectic selection of beers, fine wine and premium spirits. Take in the game on our big screens, catch some live music or enjoy our big, shady deck – among the best in the west end. Come by yourself, bring a friend, bring a bunch of friends and discover one of the city’s best-kept secrets. The Cat is one of Toronto’s great, local pubs.
Went for their Latin Night, it was fun! Good music and good food. The staff was really friendly and attentive. Hope to again for another Latin Night! The nachos were a good portions shared between 3 people and there was still some left that we just couldn't fit. I only tried one cocktail but there are a lot on the menu and they carry wine and beer as well.
Small cozy place for a pint and good food. Had a wrap, and it was pretty filling. I was unfortunately defeated by the fries. Went with a large group (9 people); made a reservation first. They were able to accommodate us at a single large table/booth.
Great food, great staff and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Highly recommend
Good vibe but don't go here if you want to eat. Vibe seemed good enough, good beer selection and the service was great, except I ordered a wrap for lunch and sat there for an hour and they hadn't even started it. If you're here for a pint, probably a good time. Just don't order food if you want it served in less than an hour
First time at the Cat Pub. We live in the area & have passed by hundreds of times, and finally popped in for dinner. Very nice neighbourhood pub. The staff are very friendly and efficient. There is ample seating at tables or the bar. Sports & news on multiple screens but not noisy. Food is generous portions and served piping hot (had the fish & chips). The menu has something for everyone, including kids, at reasonable prices. Rotating daily specials. Good selection of draft beers. Didn't have room for dessert, but looked tempting! Hope to go back again soon. Breakfast menu looks good :)
This is what a dive bar should be. Grungy and cute but actually clean, excellent service, and food that is not only delicious but well priced. The daily specials are fantastic and the staff are friendly and exceptionally capable. Every time I leave I can't wait to come back!
This is a great place - where everyone knows your name. Roadhouse style - with patrons from all walks of life. We go frequently. They have regular food nights with deep discounts (eg. Wednesday is Souvlaki, Thursday is Chicken and Ribs - when I last had it - $12.99). A pub style menu, high quality food and very reasonably priced. ***Hidden secret is brunch, which is new to the restaurant. You can't beat $10.99 Eggs Benedict (see pictures)***. The staff are great - Servers: Donya, Romy, Daryl, Catherine, Monique, ...; Chef: Chris, Osaze, ...; Owner: Angelo. And again - they know your name.
Came for brunch/lunch and the bartender was just what I needed after over 3 years away from Canada! Gorgeous and sweet with incredible service. The beer battered Haddock was cooked to perfection and the fries were awesome.
Great little neighbourhood pub. Fun & friendly staff, good food, chill ambience with a kool dive feel. Just popped in with an outta town friend & had great time hangin out for a few hours. I had the special (chicken & ribs) & my friend had the burger. My dinner was delicious. I ll b back to try the signature burger it looked awesome !!!
Great food. Excellent band. Friendly staff and patrons. The band Time Warp is one of the best performances Ive ever seen. All the great classic rock hits of the 80s
hadv to visits in 2 weeks great burgers and fries friendly staff and clean restrooms
Quiet pub, it is my style.
Great staff. Food is delish. Reasonable prices.
Staple
Food and drinks are great. Bartender is very friendly and nice!
Live band was great. Staff were awesome.
Great place to watch the game, good vibe, very friendly staff. Recommend this place if youre in the area
THE BEEEEEST NACHO IN THE WESTERN WORLD. BUT I WONT GIVE YOU TE INGREDIENTS.
The service was good. The cocktail was terrible.
Jacob DSouza was amazing
One of the best pubs/bars Ive been to in the junction for foods great booze perfect service exceptional the owner is really nice comes around asks hows it going very interactive with customer good atmosphere Parking: Free parking
Love the breakfast
Very friendly my 1st time being there with my sister.
Great little place with a super fresh beer tap.
It was on the way home to brampton from downtown Toronto. We were sitting at the lights and had a chance to pull in. The outside intrigued us, and we went in. The chicken strips were huge, served with a good serving of fries. The dip sauce was tasty, too. Drinks were a decent price. Our server was polite and friendly, and I do recommend stopping in. Whether you ride a motorcycle or drive a car, theres enough parking out back. They also have a patio you can sit on. Win win! The Cat Pub & Eatery, good food and worth the stop!
The food is great, and the daily specials are awesome. A good variety. A cozy atmosphere - lots of TVs offering various sporting events and special DJ events on weekends. Service is fantastic. Love this place! Parking: Always find a parking spot.
Ive totally enjoyed the breakfasts a few times and most recently came here for a TML playoff game with my children. We sat at the bar and had one of the best nights out together! We connected with friendly folks at the bar and especially with Romi, the bartender. He was awesome! The Rib & Chicken special is insanely affordable and worth crossing the city for. We went back for breakfast the following Sunday for an awesome breakfast. The medallion potatoes are great! and so was the bacon and the steak! This place has a great vibe! Well be back again and again!! Parking: easy!
Place has changed
I hosted my birthday party at the Cat Pub and had a wonderful experience from organization to execution. Angelo, the owner, was laid-back and helpful, just generally easy to work with. The night of we had a gentleman named Mark who oversaw our party and was very helpful and pleasant. Our two servers (literally superwomen) handled our relatively large party flawlessly and with a lot of ease. My guests had a wonderful experience and loved the versatility of the atmosphere as well as the laid back nature of the staff and regulars. I would definitely recommend and would love to host more events at the Cat in the future. Parking: Small parking lot behind venue and some street parking available.
Skip this dive if you can. They serve old burgers that are suppose to be freshly made. I was sick after eating here. Shells in the eggs. Over cooked bacon. No drink selections. Waitress is Constantly smoking which is disquisting to smell while I am eating. All around a crack palace.
Food is delicious. Service is prompt and friendly. Ask for Jess! She is an exceptional server. Price is very reasonable Food : 5/5 |
This is our local, and we love it. We come here about once a month with our young kids, and we love the food and the hospitality. This is standard pub far, but it s done pretty well, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming.
Local pub with great music, cool atmosphere. Service was off the night I went but they may have been short staffed that evening. I still highly recommend.
Great place for a get together. Food was very good and plentiful.
If you want service. Go elsewhere. If you want to be ignored. Been in the industry over 25 years. So ya...come here
Amazing
Perfect neighborhood pub. We love the Thursday special !
hidden gem doesnt look much on the outside but it does have that old school vibe where friends can chill & have a good time & good drinks Food
The chicken souvlaki dinner was delicious. The chicken was very tender, cooked perfectly. The lemon potatoes, salad and rice were great. It was the special of the day. Great price for a large serving of food. The staff are friendly and attentive. I will definitely go again.
My friend and I came here for the first time and we were greeted amazing by a server named Bronwyn! She was so polite and so welcoming that we could have sworn we were regulars! Food was great, drinks are reasonably priced, I highly recommend coming here!
I love this place.... It has good food and amazing bartenders.... Jessica is very knowledgeable and super sweet..... I always have problems choosing drinks and she offered lavender lemonade (not sure if thats the actual name) ..... it was the best drink I ever tried.....Im hooked now.... The best service!!!!! Thank you Jessica....
This is a great place for drinks and food. I love the bar and the patio!!!
Staff are friendly. Service is quick. Could be cleaner. Food was good for the price :)
Friendly service . Ask for special dinner each day have a deal. One of my favorites places for go and take a beer
The place is small but great service, food and loved the retro music!
Great place good food staff is also awesome. A must visit
Hard working people, good food drinks good service good neighborhood pub
Love this place always, have no complaints, great people, great atmosphere good food and drink
Great place
Nice pub to sit talk and have a few pints
Cool small bar
Good food affordable and delicious
Nice place to chill
the food was amazing but the service blew us away. all of the staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive and went out of their way to provide outstanding service! there are many different varieties of food and all of it tastes great, as well as large portion sizes. they had some great weekday specials as well. we will be back!
Love this place, for so many reasons but the number one is that it actually has heart. Its difficult to find a place where the employees are so invested in the business. For many years my friends and I have had our important gatherings here. And anyone that knows Romy, knows hes a rarity in this business Thank you for so many years of taking care of us and making us feel like family.
Great neighborhood bar. Good staff
Nice place and good service.
Was bit of a let down. The service was slow and not even busy and the food was not that great. I prefer the outing on Wednesday night was nice friendly and great service and food ok.
Great breakfast and bar food. Staff is super friendly and they have live music
No food after 4 not a great place today two waitress were on at 5 poeple playin backgammon
They have some of the best daily specials and souvlaki meal across the city of Toronto, talk about a value for your dollar and great tasting food.
My friends and I went there on Tuesday, around 10 pm, probably the place was about to close and it was a little bit uncomfortable. I felt like the staff was ready to go home, and we just showed up at the last minute. I didnt feel the vibe. Service and prices are OK.
Super local pub. Great pub food and the owner makes everyone feel at home.
A welcoming local neighbourhood pub with good pints. Screens show sports and they will take requests for games that you want to watch. Very good service.
I dont come often, but when I do, Im always treated well.
local dive with great wings and friendly service. beware of karaoke night .
Great place for a quick bite to eat and a drink!
The people here are fantastic. The wings are among the best around. Its my favourite local pub for sure. Theres a special nearly every weekday with great food at excellent prices. Theres a decent selection of domestic, imported, and local craft beer, too. Wing night is Tuesday. Enjoy!
Amazing people very friendly bar with welcoming atmosphere highly recommend as an out of Towner.
Best chicken wings..I order dry with dipping sauce...VERY good
The bar should have been more personable, more smiles, charming as this is the heart of the restaurant.
Been there with friends, worked out great, been there with kids, also worked out great Kid-friendliness: Kid menu with a burger, grilled cheese, pasta and more
Food and beverages prices are a bit high
The prices of a Caesar are ridiculous! $12.00 please
Had a perfect breakfast here
Good local pub
Manager was terrific. Great with my kids
Great neighbourhood spot. Romy is one of the best bartenders Ive every come across. Romy has a passion for his job that is rare, I promise you that if you are there when he is on shift you will feel at home. Very welcoming from the first time you walk in. The Thursday rib and chicken special is a freakin deal.
We liked me and body always drinking that place
Great food awesome people nice ambience fabulous cooks and the best wait staff
The food here is always great. As is the service. Good parking in the back. Huge patio too!
Excellent wings. Good beer. Friendly people and staff. Would definitely recommend
Great local spot, many screens for sports , always a fun time!! Great food, the burgers are as big as your head! Great staff & service.
Amazing food and friendly service makes you feel right at home.
Great food and pub!
My go to for easy weekend brunch. The menu never changes, but it s pretty solid. Friendly staff and really good wings!
Good food
Great place. Great people. Great vibes. Great food. Definitely recommend.
I went for a dinner at this local restaurant..and have a bad experience again from an altercation that hapen with a rude person 5 years a ago.....again this time I was denied service ....from.the same rude and uneducated person ..this time for no reason..I felt discriminated....and personally intimidated by this individual.....I live and the neighborhood for the las 15 years and o will tell all my friends and neighbours about this experience about this....place ....
Once in a while, you come across a person that is determined to bring down everything and anything good around them to justify their COMPLETE inability to be a decent neighbor/patron/human. Unfortunately, these people are able to leave reviews. There is one such review that slaughters the good character of one of the best humans in the bar business. The victim of discrimination that left a review was rightfully and repeatedly asked to leave the bar for being obnoxious, loud and inappropriate. If you see a review that suggests ANY staff at The Cat Pub descriminates and belittles their guests, please think critically. Weigh the numerous real reviews before you make your decision to visit this wonderful neighborhood Pub.
Excellent music, good service and pleasant place.
I have the pleasure of being a repeat patron at this more than welcoming space, where we all feel welcome and comfortable with one another, and that has a lot to do with the bartenders/servers and kitchen staff, as much good conversations with respectful patrons enjoying themselves. There is no welcoming of hate or discrimination in this space (echoing Ann). I will also say for myself, as a former bartender/server, I am not afraid to say that I know who left such a disgusting review, trying to incriminate someone who is nothing but respectful to his patrons, and I have had the pleasure of asking you to leave myself, as you were so terribly rude and disrespectful, ruining everyone single persons time trying to enjoying their time dining. Peace out
I have never been chastised on a Friday at an empty bar simply because I didn t call ahead to inform them that me and a group of no more than 10 want to come by for a few drinks. Considering there is an LCBO and a Beer store across the street, this doesn t seem like a great way to get return business. It s also been over 15 minutes and I m still without the menu simply because the waitress (with braids) doesn t want to work.
Great place for beer and wings. Friendly staff, I will be going back for sure.
very spacious
Just randomly walked by and decided to check it out. Service was great as was the food. Definitely going back!
Great environment, amazing service!
Food here is solid and portions are good. Even my kids like eating here. Staff is very friendly, but service can be slow. We live in the area and its a convenient spot when were craving pub grub, but there does seem to be a bit of a weird vibe when you go in (Im assuming its the regulars sizing you up). Weve yet to check out the live music, but are looking forward to doing so soon.
great staff. fantastic food. romy is top notch
Great place with very reasonable prices and super staff.
Its a awesome place to eat, specially breakfast.... Ive been coming here for many years and I love it. Thanks to Chris (chef) for the awesome food...
This place is a great pub! But the one star is for the server that we have come across for the 2nd time that seems to have an excuse each time not to serve on the patio. We feel the owner should know of this. Other than that we have had great service from another server there.
Fantastic people that work there, on a Friday or Saturday enjoy a local band of music. Very good food as well.
Had a great time with my fiancée here. We live just around the corner so we wanted to find a place to go for drinks and some food. All the staff is super friendly and attentive. Romy is awesome and always remembers us and greets us with a lot of energy. Food was great, The atmosphere is cozy and it s nice seeing the regulars chat with all the staff. We ll be back for sure
Seemed to be short staffed. Bar tender took care of the entire restaurant with ease. Service was still great. Needs more selection of beer on tap is all I could say needs improvement.
Love the vibe of this place. Cozy place, great food, awesome service. Definitely a place to come back to.
Had an amazing evening, great food and super cool host Romy....great music and atmosphere. Youve got to check this place out. Its like your neighborhood Cheers!
Local spot where everyone is welcome.
Good people great staff
What an experience, great atmosphere awesome music and super friendly staff. Shout out to Romy for being amazing. I sadly live super far from this place, but I will definitely return in the future.
The place been around for years, they have regular customers. The bartender Romy is the best, I know for years. He made us feel welcomed and would go to relax and enjoy our evening.
Some guy posted he loves nice warm schitts on snap map
Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and the food was okay. The spinach and cheese dip was tasty. Unfortunately my burger was burnt and both of our fries were either undercooked or overcooked. Maybe with an off night for the chef, Ill try it again maybe for breakfast. Lots of good reviews for that. The waitress was amazing though. So great customer service.
Nice little spot for drinks and food
Excellent food
Always a good time at the Cat. Good environment. Good food. Overall good experience.
The burger I had here easily made it onto my top 5 list, great servers and great food.
One word.... WOW! Ordered their classic burger with fresh cut fries and side of gravy. Its not often when you order a burger with fries for delivery that the burger arrives still intact but The Cat Pub & Eatery nailed it! The quality of their burger was amazing! You can definitely tell its homemade with fresh ingredients. I will definitely order from them again!
My local great food at reasonable prices
Always a great time and great service
I love this place. The staff is excellent. Its a place that feels like home. The food has always been excellent. I was worried that they wouldnt service this crazy pandemic. But they did. Im so happy for that. I want to thank the entire staff for their hard work.
Great patio, prices and people. The food is top notch, get the beef dip. Pretty hard to beat this west end establishment.
Great place for a house made burger
Good service. Chicken fingers and fries are good. Levy overs for my lunch tomorrow.
I posted a review during the pandemic detailing some wings I got for takeout. Happy to report the quality has remained consistent and the service is fantastic. Lovely little neighbourhood gem
I live up north, so when I meet my old friend, we love sitting on the patio to catch up. Service is great, food also!
Very friendly staff and nice place. Will visit again :)
Good
Top!
Best pub grub in town, fair prices, friendly staff and awesome patio !
Service was A CLASS food was good. Id definitely be back
One of my go to places when I visit Toronto. Do the Thursday chicken and rib special!
Great service The penne à la vodka was delicious
Awesome staff and food
Thier food and portion sizes are amazing Unlike other places where the bartender always pushes you for another drink, over here they are really patient and friendly with thier service. The lady who served me was really amazing and the manager comes around the table to check out every person and see how they are doing. Age demographic was like in between 30 to 60+ Really friendly environment and people made my experience here worthwhile and I will recommend this to my friends for sure.
Very friendly, very good stuff.
Great place! Excellent food and amazing staff.
Very nice food and the waitness is very friendly
These guys know whats up. One love. Big up, Angelo!
the owner of this bar was so really a nice guy, angelo is his name, i was driving him for uber going to his bar and offered me to have a drink, but unfortunately i cannot because i was still working, it was nice chatting with you sir angelo!
Best kept secret in the west end! A perfect pub with fantastic food and beverages! Sometimes karaoke ...
Good food good service good beer.
Super local eatery. Reasonable prices, good portions, casual atmosphere. A great local pub!
Ordered a salad to go and paid in cash. I was supposed to get a nickel back but the Asian dude kept it. I guess he assumed that I would tell him to keep it but I didn t. Salad was meh. Just okay. Customer service could be better.
Great wings. Good size as well. 2 lbs for 19.95 Good price. Picked them up and they were still crispy when I brought them home.
Dropped by a couple times now and hey, great hospitality! Thanks again Angelo!
Great food. And the patio set up is lovely
I really enjoy it. Very good food and drinks for a reasonable price
Very friendly
Great food. Great service. Qould definitely do again.
Service was fantastic!
Always love this place so much! Been coming for years. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. My favourite pub that I recommend to all my friends
Food was decent.
Awesome food, great service.
Best wings and Greek salad in the city.. favorite place to eat...
Love this place owner super nice.
Love the wings and the prices are reasonable love to go after work for a drink and some wings with friends
Good food
It was gently raining when we arrived Friday evening at 8:00 p.m. there were no umbrellas open on the tables on the patio and several people standing around drinking. No problem but we had to struggle with an umbrella to get it open. Finally another customer gentleman took Mercy on us and helped us out. we waited so long after that for somebody to come out and take our drink order. and then when the drinks arrived the waitress informed us that they were calling last call at 807. It almost seems like this business does not want customers.
Great service, theyre still operating with a nice patio and the usual great menu. I strongly recommend the burgers and sandwiches.
