Amsterdam Brewhouse

We had an amazing experience at Amsterdam Brewhouse! We ordered the Brewhouse Guacamole and Spinach & Artichoke Dip, and both were absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The guacamole had just the right kick, and the dip was warm, cheesy comfort food at its best. What made the visit even more memorable was the incredible lakefront view. Sitting by the water with craft beer and tasty bites in hand was the perfect way to unwind. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, and the service was great too. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Toronto — especially on a nice day when you can sit outside and take in the beautiful Lake Ontario views!

Stopped by for lunch. We wanted a table with a view, first table not ideal so the staff found us a better table. Jeremy, our server was excellent. Very personable and attentive. All meals were tasty. Mac and cheese, amazing, lobster roll , delicious and the sushi bowl hit the spot on a hot summer afternoon. Beer was cold and tasty, I had them before but first time at the brewery. When in the area, highly recommend Amsterdam BrewHouse

Great atmosphere and views. Music was at right volume so you could talk but still have a good time. Food was good but little expensive (as expected in such location). All the staff was very sweet and helpful. Our server Jose was very nice and gave good suggestions. We couldn’t get the balcony table as booked due to rain. Reservation is recommended for weekends as it got really busy with long lines. Cocktails weren’t that good.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Amsterdam for many years, but tonight was truly the worst experience I’ve ever had. I had guests visiting Toronto and had spoken so highly of Amsterdam, telling them it was one of my favorite restaurants with the best lake view and amazing food. We waited in line for about 30 minutes just so my guests could have a table with a nice view. Unfortunately, when our food arrived, every single sandwich was missing something — one had no onions, another had no coleslaw, and one had an extremely small amount of meat. When I informed our server, they said, “I didn’t make it, so I don’t know why.” Seriously? That’s the response you give to a customer? No apology, no offer to replace the meal? To make matters worse, the bottle of sauce you brought us was completely empty, and our table was soaking wet and clearly not cleaned before we sat down. And then, instead of fixing the food issue, you brought me a plate of onions? This is unacceptable and frankly embarrassing. You ruined my night and my reputation in front of my guests. I can’t believe my favorite spot treated us this way. What the hell is happening in your kitchen?! Such a huge disappointment.

Amazing place with a beautiful ambience right by the waterfront! We had an incredible time dining here — everything from the food to the atmosphere was top notch. We ordered the fish and chips, chicken burger, chicken sandwich, and a kids’ meal with pizza — every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and served with great presentation. The portion sizes were generous and the taste did not disappoint. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxed meal with family or friends. Great food, great vibes, and an overall fantastic experience!

Amazing brewery with lots of fresh beer options. The place is humongous with indoor, outdoor and lake view options. Being a Sunday evening the rush was there with a long wait. Patio seating was most difficult to get, I chose the bar seating with air conditioning and it was great. The service was quick as ordered right at the bar. Blonde lager beer paired with fish tacos was a treat and delicious. Service was quick with great vibes. A must visit for tourists when in Toronto to catch up food and beer.

Bryanna was so helpful and made our visit a fun one, even on a busy summer day! The beers here are always good, their zero beer is fantastic as well. The appetizers were all done perfectly, the buffalo cauliflower, the wings, spinach dip…everything was done well.

The beer was average, nothing really stood out, except for the dark ale, which was the only one I found somewhat interesting. As for the food… wildly overpriced!! We weren’t too hungry, luckily, so we just ordered the calamari for $25 for about 10 over-fried pieces. Service was good though but slightly slow as the place was full. The view is nice, but definitely not enough to make me want to come back. There are better spots around

This place is big! And pretty loud. Which is fine. And the air conditioning felt great. And the drinks were cold and service friendly. We were just touring along on the city and it was a great place to stop while visiting Toronto.

We stopped by before a Blue Jays Game to have some drinks and grub. Initially, we went inside but found out that is reservation only and they were completely full. We were told we could try our hand at the patio and went around the side. There was a small line and we were seated fairly quick. This place is enormous! For a Thursday afternoon they were crazily busy but kept things moving. The patio had an amazing view and we were shaded in our seats. I ordered some appetizers : Karaage Chicken and the Fish Tacos. The Karaage chicken was light and fluffy. It came with two sauces; chili oil and a honey sauce. This dish was just ok as I felt the sauces should have been a bit more flavorful. The fish tacos however were bright, colorful and tasty. My other half isn't huge on fish but I love all things seasfood. These were light and not overly fishy. We both enjoyed the dish. For mains we ordered: Brewhouse Chicken Sandwich with a Poutine My other half had the chicken sandwich and I didn't bother to have a bite, as I was focused on my Brisket Mac and Cheese He said the sandwich was good but just ok. We had upgraded to a poutine for $5.49 and were disappointed in the poutine that arrived. It was cute in the bucket but shoestring fries and a small amount of gravy / cheese. Boneshaker Brisket Mac & Cheese. This dish was an absolute 10/10. Those spiral noodles (cavatappi or cellentani) soaked up all the boneshaker cheese sauce. The brisket was tender and it had a nice smoky BBQ sauce on it. This dish is pricier coming in at $26.99. It's a definite must order though! I couldn't believe how cheesy it was. We love Amsterdam Beers and keep a large supply of them in our beer fridges. I however went with a Peachy Keen Margarita and my other half went with the 20oz Neon Haze on draft. Beers come in two prices $9.99 or $11.99 depending on size chosen. The food was plated beautifully and the drinks were cold and refreshing. The view is absolutely unmatched. Food came out extremely quickly which I didn't expect, especially with how busy they were. I'm taking a star away because as much as I loved the experience, I wanted more wow factor for the food. Would I come back ? 100%. I'll definitely try some of the other menu offerings. If you're in the area definitely check them out 2 appetizers, 2 mains and 3 drinks came to $160 + tip. So, this is definitely on the pricier side for a date night out .

Stopped for a quick lunch at the Amsterdam Brewhouse, at the recommendation of our friend we were staying with. Being right on the water, it's probably a very pretty place to eat/drink on a nice day, but unfortunately we were looking at an overcast day with spotty rain We arrived for a later lunch, and were asked if we had reservations, which was a bit surprising, not being during a lunch rush, but we were seated. It's a very large space, a bit misleading from the outside. The interior is decorated with some very unique art, and creations, lots to look at as well made our way to the table. The server took a bit to come by the table and seemed a bit unenthusiastic to see us. We placed an order and split the "Hoppy" flight of beers, and a burger as neither of us were too hungry at the time, but wanted tot try the local flavors. Food came out decently quick, they even cut the burger in half for us and brought small plates. The food was ok, but again, the server rarely checked on us. We did notice they seemed to have a larger group upstairs, but the attention to the rest of the customers seemed to lack due to that. Overall, food was ok, the burger was a bit crumbly. And the beers were good. Might go back to try other beers, but wouldn't do a burger again, maybe a pizza instead

If i could give 10 stars to Carlos specifically I would!!!! He was amazing our whole day was made because of his service, he had great recommendations and was attentive the whole time! Guacamole was a must try it's so fresh and their selection of beers is fantastic. The overall views and vibes of the restaurant are great

We were invited to a vendor event hosted here, and it was a great time. The drinks, the views and everything was spot on. That said, I did notice people waiting around to place drink orders, and the servers weren't always easy to find. A bit more attention from staff would've made the experience even better.

I had passed by here yesterday and saw a couple sitting on a bench overlooking the water and I thought what a perfect seat. We came back to try this restaurant and they sat us at the exact same seat that I saw that couple. It was such an enjoyable way to spend our afternoon. We ordered a beer and a lobster roll. We split the lobster roll and I couldn't decide on a beer so the nice server gave me four different tastes. I decided on the Mexican Style special beer. Everything was wonderful. It was a great place to relax and enjoy food and view.

Great vibes! Lots of seating indoor and outdoor. The back patio faces the lake so it's beautiful on a nice sunny day. We had a party of 20 and there was only one waiter that helped. He was quick and really friendly despite it being super busy as it was Father's Day, and Toronto islands was having their dragon boat festival. Unfortunately they were out of the bbq tower, we were all hoping to try it. Instead I got the beef brisket, it was underwhelming unfortunately. It was dry and it didn't feel like it was smoked for 12 hours like it said on the menu. The pizzas were great and the flight was nice!

Super fun and bright inside. The staff was super friendly and provided great recommendations. The drinks were delicious. Plenty of seating and not too loud. You're able to hear your friends while engaging in conversation. I would come back

Went around 11pm on a busy Saturday night. We were a party of 4 and were seated quickly. We ordered drinks and food. My hubby and I ordered fish tacos- these were one of the worst I've ever had in the city. Minimal fish in the tacos and it was very fishy. I forgot to take a photo. In addition we ordered a poutine. This was pretty bad too. I've had better ones at fast food joints like Harvey. At the other side of our table, our friend ordered the veggie burger- she said it was awful. Very dry. When our waiter, Daniel, came by to ask us how everything was, we told him. He didn't acknowledge anything we said and saw less of him as the night went on. If you're looking for a place on the water for JUST drinks, this place is fine. Be weary of the food. The quality has definitely gone down

We came here for lunch and sat upstairs outside. Lovely! It took about 15 minutes for a server to come by and even greet us, this is why I give 3 stars. Once greeted, the service was great! The food was delicious, just what I needed. I had the chicken, avocado, & bacon wrap with extra crispy fries. So yum! I also had the lager flight. My favorite was the 3 speed lager. So light and crisp! It's about 90F in Toronto today so that was a necessary refresher.

This place was alright. The ambiance was cool, everyone was watching a hockey game but it got quite loud at times. Probably wouldn't go back, only went because it was close to our hotel. The sweet potato fries I ordered were super soggy and were folding over. Not worth it for the price I paid.

Seated in a fabulous seat overlooking the water. That was the only thing that was fabulous. Food was okay, burger was dry and cold, pizza was average, fish and fries were the best out of all but still average. Great view though.

Loved this place! Went there three days in a row while on vacation. Great food, great beer, nice view of Lake Ontario. I suggest trying a beer flight and then picking your favorite.

Service at the bar was great. Selection of beers was good I found a good stout which make me happy. Good was maybe 3 stars. Big cheeseburger, not so big, meat tasted a little old... You know when it's starting to be not so fresh. Not bad, just not good. Caesar salad was stale and wilted. Go there for good beer and service.

I would give negative reviews if I can, the person who got us seated said 'I can help u get the beer' even when he couldn't. The internal comms was shit and i def dont plan to come again. Too bad they lost me forever

The staff at the brewhouse is amazing! James is a great guy and the entire staff works so hard to keep a clean place that has a great atmosphere and even better service. The only thing better than the service is the care and concern they showed for me and my family in the midst of a personal medical situation that they helped us with in a big way. I'm not in Toronto often but this place is a must each and every time I'm there from now on!

The ambience and view is great. The out door patio seating is highly recommend if the weather is warm and bright. Fish and chips 5/5 Fish is battered nice and thick. The fish itself is moist and not dry at all. The side coleslaw had a mild chipotle spice and complimented the fish. The fries were okay. Chicken sandwich Flavorful and the right size. Not too much, not too little. Fries were alight. Didn't care for the bun, but the chicken itself was great! The pickle sauce and salad paired well with the fried chicken. Service was a bit slow due to the growing crowd. I flagged the waiter down for the bill. Then after waiting for a while my husband had to go up in person to pay the bill. After all, we would hate to be late for the game.

I wish I had nice things to say about this. The place was super packed and may have affected the quality of service because we went on New Year's Eve, and even though it was busy, we weren't checked in periodically to see if we needed refills. It actually took us over 30 minutes to get a server to deliver us menus (mind you we had a 2 hour seating limit). The servers and door staff were pretty friendly though! It took another 30 minutes to get our food ordered and it... wasn't that great. I ordered the Korean fried calamari and even though it was good... I felt like it was overpriced for a very small portion. Most of the plate just had picked vegetables (which isn't exactly what I paid for if the main portion if it is supposed to be the calamari advertised) The place is a typical bar and beer house so while I appreciate that they had mock tails on the menu, it's not my scene and I probably won't be back, but if you like views of the lake while having a beer with friends I would only recommend the patio over the summer months.

Stopped in after a Blue Jays game and sat at the bar. Aaron and Dev took care of us. Great beer selections! The food was excellent. Lots to choose from. Cool modern bar vibe with outside seating by the water as well

We were quickly taken to our seats that gave us a perfect view of Lake Ontario. Fria Cerveza Especial, the beer I ordered, was perfect with the lobster roll meal that came with corn in the cob and chips. The lobster roll was good, although I like a bit less mayo mix on it. The corn in the cob was delicious! It's the perfect place to eat lunch in a beautiful day.

Server brought our drinks and disappeared. Ordered the chicken sandwich it came out quickly, a little too quickly and was ice cold. We did get a new one made but after all that it just wasn't any good. Strange shape with 2 small pieces of chicken that didn't fit the bun and an odd flavor in the breading. The view is great though

I really loved this brewhouse ! Location was just amazing! You get a great view of the water and it's just peaceful! Food was also great! We had appetizers and beer. The tempura on the cauliflower was the best ever! Beer was also tasty. We had great service !

Great food, really good beer, awesome views. I have to mention our server, a very helpful young lady Keta, friendly and professional. When again in Toronto, this place will be on the top of my list. Definitely five star.

Group of 4 had lunch on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. Seated outside, lovely views of the water and sailboats. Long line for outdoor seating but it moved very quickly. Our server Quinn was great, despite having numerous tables to take care of. We enjoyed craft beers, margarita pizza, the chicken sandwich (huge), and sushi bowls. All the food was great! Don't plan on getting in and out quickly here. It's a very busy popular spot. We had a lovely afternoon!

The wait staff did an excellent job with suggestions on the menu rundown. The weather cooperated for us to sit outside and enjoy fish and chips on the water. The view was great and a great first night in Toronto. Tip for the staff member at the front desk: if guests would like to sit outside accommodate them. Don't tell them that you can't move them inside if the weather turns cold. We almost walked out because we felt unwelcome.

Hostess found us a lovely table with great view of the water. So kind. Our server, Michael Ber? There are no words. He elevated our dining experience to top-notch party and we made a new friend. His recommendations were honest and spot-on! Wings, cauliflower and fish tacos all superb and perfect. He was friendly and so incredibly attentive to our every need. He went above and beyond all evening and made us feel very special. Thanks Michael, if we lived closer we'd be regulars and never let anyone else wait on us. You wrote the book on true top shelf service. We appreciate you, brother! Jonathan and Shirley Mitchell

Disappointed.. First I got the Mac & Cheese but overlooked the fact that it was made with "cheese sauce".. as shown on the menu. I guess I just didn't think it would be so close in texture and flavour to cheese whiz.. I couldn't finish it and my waiter politely brought out a brisket sandwich to replace it since I liked the brisket that was served on top of the Mac & Cheese. The brisket sandwich was decent... about a 6.5/10.. My friend had a burger with "American cheese" and didn't like it either. This place just doesn't serve great food but it's a vibe with friends in a good location with good service. Wouldn't recommend it though.

My partner and I were looking for a quick bite and a drink on a Friday night when we discovered Amsterdam BrewHouse. It turned out to be a fantastic spot! Our server, Jill, was incredibly friendly and very helpful. We tried their in-house amber beer, along with chips and guacamole, and we split the chicken avocado wrap. We were pleasantly surprised by how tasty the food was. The location by the water is great, and we plan to return this summer to enjoy sitting on the patio!

I had a good time. I was surprised at how big the place was they even had an upstairs I like that they have flight options so you can try different beers they have two standard ones and then they have a third one which is what they have on tap which is seasonal that's what I decided to go with and the person I was with did one of their standard tastings I visited in winter which is why most of the tap was darker they had a coffee beer option and a dark stout . I didn't love the flavor of the seasonal beers... I did enjoy the Vienna lager! I will say they didn't have me feeling bloated I was surprised that the food tastes really good their hand cut fries are delicious definitely give them a try the salads are good and have large portions as well My friend who tried the regular flight did enjoy theirs so maybe you don't want to take a risk with the seasonal ones. From the hostess to my waiter the staff was really great and friendly

Well let me tell you about Ash. What a phenomenal experience. Yes she was efficient, yes she was kind, yes she was knowledgeable. But Ash was beyond all of that. She paid attention to even pick up and use my kids names as they wanted to order with her. She offered us the "parent experience" where she brought the kids drinks and food so quickly, not to mention our drinks (beer flight and waters) so quickly. She was patient. She was positive. She was simply exceptional. As a former server and bartender, I recognize the little things that I know great servers do. She did it all and more. I'm impressed. Ash all the way.

This was the perfect place to spend a few hours on our last afternoon in Toronto. The beer was great, the snacks were just what we needed, the outdoor patio was shaded and had football on multiple TVs, and the waitstaff were knowledgeable and full of good recommendations. I had the Blonde Lager and my plus one had the Downtown Brown. We split cauliflower bites and sweet potato fries at the suggestion of our server. Both were comforting and a nice compliment to our beverages. We will come back next time we are in the city!

Restaurant is huge. There is outside dining as well with a great view. Unfortunately it was raining that day for us. We were seated quickly. Service was slow. Flight of beer which is the reason we went there but it was okay. Ordered platter for appetizer and we each got a burger. The food was okay, nothing really special about it. Not a place i would try again.

The store has a brewery space Seating is very large and spacious Outdoor dining area is also available In the summer a small lake breeze is very comfortable Inside, there are small tables with a lake view and on the second floor Overall, the feeling is very comfortable and chill Outside, there is also a separate retailer that sells beers. Each dish in the menu is paired with a recommended beer, which is good for people like me who have trouble choosing. Overall the atmosphere is very good but the price is a little expensive taste is also okay for people who live near the lake walk by the side of the taste It is worth mentioning that they have a wine tasting package for only $ 11 will be given four small glasses of beer (I see the next table to take pictures is very good hahaha) suitable for those who do not want to step on the mine, but would like to try all flavors of beer lovers.

Amazing outdoor view. We sat outside on the side and had an amazing view of both the CN Tower & water. Ordered the Hoppy flight and fish & chips. Staff were friendly

We loved the vibe, location, and concept of Amsterdam. Right on the water with lots of space. The drinks were very tasty and service was quick. The pizza had a strange taste to it, the chicken was very smokey and rubbery tasting. I would have opted for a burger instead had I known. The chicken wings were crispy and meaty. The ranch dressing had a little horseradish in it. I would come here again in the summer but just order my food differently :)

Meh... burger was less than basic. My kid could do better. Beer was good ... got my fav ... Amber. Dani the bartender was the best part. She was fun to give a hard time! 5 for Dani!

I came here while on vacation. A local friend recommended I come here and I'm so glad I listened. This place has it all! Great food, excellent service, and fantastic view. Located in downtown Toronto, I had a lovely view of Lake Ontario. Very spacious brewery and fun decor. Mike took care of our table and was fantastic. He gave me wonderful recommendations. I loved the Magic Mushroom melt and my friend loved her Crab-o-Cado toast. I enjoyed the blueberry lemon mojito to drink and my friend enjoyed the Caesar. I highly recommend coming here.

We went on a pretty summer evening- we were seated relatively quickly. our table faced directly into the sun- so much so that you really couldn't look at the people across the table when talking. This table really is a tough seat at this time of day. They were out of three of their cocktails and the first two beers we requested. When our meals Arrived they forgot one and had to be asked twice. We couldnt get more water or more drinks. Chicken was so tough/chewy it had to be a reheat, lettuce wilted in salad, pizza dough seems like it might be frozen dough that they top and heat in pizza oven.... all in all while we wanted to enjoy the lake view and the vibe-the place was a disappointment, the only bright spot is that the staff is friendly- and seems to want to do well- but either lacks the support, the numbers, and/or the quality of foods to create a better experience. Would recommend many other places and a walk along the lake over the Brewhouse.

Love the ambiance and view. I also had a friendly traveler latch on to me. Fish and Chips were amazing. I'll be back.

Do not go to this place. Just a touristy trap. They don't care about their customers, only care about convenience for themselves. Our server, Dani, was very incompetent. He messed up our order and gave us double of our appetizer. A different worker said it's fine they'll take it off the bill and we can just keep it, but then Dani comes and takes it away and looked annoyed we took bites out of it. We also got calamari which was extremely dry. I look over to the table next to us and their calamari had sauce with it. So we ask Dani, was this supposed to come with sauce? He says usually it should when we were already halfway done and eventually gives a sauce with it. There's also an empty table we asked to move to because there were bees all around us and they said they usually don't allow that if there's a lot of people. Literally the whole time we were there, the table stayed empty. Terrible spot. Overpriced and very incompetent staff. Will never come or recommend this spot to someone.

Great harborside location for late lunch/early dinner. Food was terrific, drinks cold, ambiance perfect and service (Ash) was outstanding! So glad we found it!

I had a terrible experience here tonight, awful food, awful customer service. I definitely would never recommend this place based on my experience late last night & I won't be recommending to any of my local friends from Toronto or out of town!! Never again! I wish I knew the person's name who was clearly in a bad mood taking it on customers there but I dont know his name. You shouldn't act like that around anyone, period.

Amsterdam might have one of the best views of Lake Ontario in the harbor front area. I just wish the service and food matched the ambience. I got the pulled brisket sandwich with french fries. I wasn't particularly impressed with the brisket as it was dry and lacked much flavor. I wish the kitchen would have added more to the sandwich as well. The bread was a cheap white bun that was slightly stale. The french fries were crispy and seasoned well, sadly the best part of the dish. As mentioned above, the interior has a nice ambience to it and there is a large bar area perfect for watching a game. The service was slow and the servers appeared to have too many tables to adequately keep up. Though unimpressed, I would give it another try to see if I caught them on a bad day.

Ambiance: spacious layout, they have beautiful views of the lake. We had to wait 20min for a table over the weekend. Food: We ordered guacamole for the table and it was sub par. Thai rice was passable. We also got fish and chips, sadly this fish was dry. Chicken burger was good. We had a good time with friends but the food was okay at best.

Came here for a farewell event and this place is quite spacious. Here was what we ordered: Calamari-$24 - The portion seemed quite small when compared to others that have ordered this same app, but the staff and manager apparently said its all portioned controlled... If that is the case, why did the manager in the end offer a 50% discount on this dish knowing that the portion is all the same? Anywho, we decided to get the fish n chips for $22.50 which is more generous and fair portion than the app. Also got the cinnamon roll-$14 - Not really cinnamon roll like, and the price point wasn't that good. Overall, it just doesn't add up and parking there is quite absurd as well...

I had a mixed experience. On the plus side... a great location, architecture, and the food and drinks were surprisingly good. I was expecting a tourist trap with lousy food given the location but that was not the case. The reason it is not a higher rating is because it took forever to get seated despite it not being busy and the service was curt.

Hey folks, a quick note about the washroom: it'd be great if the washroom, especially the ladies', could get some attention in terms of cleanliness. My visit in July left me a bit disappointed as it was quite dirty and the floor was a bit sticky. Put that aside, this spot undeniably holds its own as an iconic location at Toronto Harbour, offering a prime lakeside view. The spacious layout provides a variety of seating options, fitting perfectly to various occasions - be it group gatherings, romantic dates, or simply unwinding during travels. Their "Take a Flight" beer samplers are an absolute hit - three house-brewed beer collections to choose from. Definitely a highlight not to be missed. In terms of food, they offer a commendable variety of options. But considering my restroom encounter, I'm just hoping the same attention extends to the kitchen's cleanliness. Food (quality, presentation) - 3/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - 4/5 Ambience (interior, cleanness) - 3/5 Service - 4/5 Value - 4/5

The ambiance was super relaxing. I came here alone from California and enjoyed a sunset drink while ordering the pretzel and the Korean BBQ calamari. The most amazing thing about it was Michael B.'s service. Despite my distraction from the view, and was unable to follow his ordering instructions LOL. SO SIMPLE BUT I WAS VERY DISTRACTED. He was very attentive and ensured that I had food and drinks to enjoy. He payed attention to my allergies and was quick with getting my request. If you have him as a server, you're lucky.

Brown ale was quite good, though I wish they had a porter or stout. Maybe not a summer thing? Cheeseburger was sumptuous, plentiful, and delicious. Good potato bun. Plenty of room to watch sports, drink, and dine. Vegan burgers were met with a "meh."
