CRAFT Beer Market Toronto

Spacious, friendly, and an absolute gem in the middle of downtown. The outdoor patio feels like an oasis - tons of greenery and just the right vibe to escape the city noise without actually leaving it. Beer selection is massive, especially if you’re into sours like I am. I didn’t try the food this time, but the drinks were top-notch. What really stood out was the staff; super friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond by holding onto our travel bags while we enjoyed a few. That kind of hospitality makes a difference. Great spot for locals and travelers alike.

Amazing place for food and drinks. There was so much to choose from from the beer menu. If you’re a beer enthusiast this is a must go. Food was also amazing and cheap if you go during happy hour. Will definitely return sometime in the near future!

Came for a quick lunch. It was a beautiful day outside so we opted to sit out on the patio. I had a stroller with me and they had told us that there were a couple of small stairs to get outside. As we walked up the stairs, I realized after that they had a small lift for wheelchairs/strollers which wasn’t offered to us. The restaurant itself is nice and clean. Their happy hour menu was pretty good.

We visited on both New Year’s Eve and St. Patrick’s Day weekend, and the vibe was super chill and fun. NYE had a three-course set menu with great food, and everything was well-paced despite the busy night. St. Patrick’s Day was just as awesome-the food was fantastic overall, though the pizza we ordered was just alright compared to everything else. The servers were amazing-super friendly, attentive, and kept the energy up all night. Definitely a great spot to hang out, enjoy good food, and soak in the festive atmosphere. Will be back for sure!

Celebrated a friend’s birthday with a large group, and we had a great time. The vibe was fun, and the host and staff were very friendly. The manager also came by to say hello and let us know that the tip was already included in the bill. Overall, it was a great experience, but the food didn’t stand out. We’d definitely come back, but only for drinks.

This is such a nice place to go for drinks after work, the prices are really good and the food was nice. We order a bottle of wine, wings, pizza and cocktails and we paid less than $40 per person. I am totally going back, the service was very good, and they have many promotions and happy hour.

Wonderful experience. Wide selection of beers at affordable price. Bartender was patience to listen to what I like before she recommended every round of beer. I had wing and its delicious 😋.

Extremely loud restaurant that has both inside and outside seating. Our service was very slow and we had two different waitresses because our waitress was so slow another one thought we hadn't been helped yet. Food was amazing and the Parmesan fries were great. It was VERY LOUD in there. We had a reservation and when they went to seat us had to have us wait while they cleaned off a different table as they sat people at the table we were supposed to be seated at. Overall, good food but loud with just okay service.

I have been here multiple times for events and gatherings. They have a very spacious pub that spreads through 2 main floors and a patio. There's also a nice bar in the middle of the restaurant. They have great variety of beers on tap and a decent food menu. The staff are very friendly and the service is fast. For larger groups, gratuities will automatically be added to your bill.

The food and service was ok. Nothing to brag about. The establishment charges service charge for large groups. Which is something not pleasant, but others do as well. This establishment charges hst on top of service charge (tip). so for our bill, there was a service charge line and hst to pay for it. Avoid as much as you can. Not a pleasant experience. And when we talked to manager about it, they said it is our system and nothing can be done about it.

Came back for happy hour again and drinks were great as usual (friend and I both got various rotating taps) and we split fries and a queen bee pizza. Really enjoyed the pizza (hot honey for the win). Last visit during happy hour, I was seated first because friend was running late and I got the drink menu, food menu, happy hour menu but was missing the rotating taps menu. I chalked it up to misplacement by the hostess and the server who seated me. However during this current visit, I was again seated first because I was early and I again did not receive the rotating taps menu but got every other menu instead. Another customer, a guy, who entered the restaurant right behind me and got seated at the same time as me and had a table next to me, got all the menus including the rotating taps. Not sure if I was being racially profiled as a nondrinker? And this time I was observing the hostess and they had plenty of menus at the front so it was not due to lack of menus that I was not given one. So overall not sure what is happening with that. Just slightly annoyed as this is turning into a common occurrence.

The beer garden is such a good vibe for happy hour/lunch! They have music playing and games outside. The food was delicious-- we got parmesan fries, kale caesar salad, laguna chicken bowl, crispy garden sushi, and a pineapple margarita. Everything was 10/10.

The beer menu is endless! I checked this place out with family, we were seated without a wait on a Saturday evening. There is a lot of seating and is also a good space for larger groups. They had great vegetarian options, I tried their impossible burger which had good charbroiled flavor. Their poutine was decent. I enjoyed their beers and they had a good passionfruit martini

Good food experience even when not going for beer. While the beers are the calling card, I've gone twice for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed a meal with diet Coke. Today I had two entrees. The ribs had a unique and very good taste. While they weren't the meatiest ribs ever, I enjoyed them. I had a pound of the salt and pepper wings and also found them good. Will definitely be going back.

Toronto has a great craft brew scene and I was looking for a place where I could sample a few - Craft Beer Market was a fine choice. I don't know how many beers they have on tap but you may want to study up before you get there. I landed on a the Rorschach Dipa ( Brewed with oats and wheat and hopped with Riwaka and Motueka. Notes of tropical passionfruit, lime and melon, with grapefruit and some pine. Smooth body with subtle bitterness and juicy hop aromas.)... yeah that was a cut and paste from their website. Regardless, it's an accurate description and quite delicious. There's a food menu that that looked like good bar food but it did not imbibe. This is a sports bar vibe so don't expect to have intimate, quiet conversation - you're there to drink and there are at least 100 taps to choose from so get busy. p.s. life pro tip. If you want to take home a few beers skip the retail option and walk across the street to LCBO liquor and find some of the same brands at half the price.

Great beer joint with lots of choices and good food. Its a bit too loud for conversation, but a very good place to meet friends. Service is the star here with all of the greeters and wait staff on point.

I had heard great things about the food and drinks at Craft Beer. Opted for take out as the restaurant was booked for a private event. Ordered pizza and wings combo - Queen Bee pizza as well as beer salt and pepper wings. Although the wings were OK the pizza was a huge disappointment !! It was basically a fresh loaf of round bread baked in the oven with hardly any toppings , sauce or cheese on it . It did not look anything close to the picture on their website menu and is quite misleading. Hardly any flavour and quite doughy. Pictures are attached for comparison.

Went here with a group of 10 and had a good time! They were able to accommodate us easily. The inside of this restaurant is very spacious and doesn't feel overly crowded. The food here isn't bad. It's your typical bar food, so don't expect anything extraordinary, but it goes well with the drinks and will fill you up for a decent price. We shared a couple things among 5 people: the bee sting pizza (loved the hot honey), poutine (I love cheese), the korean glazed ribs (wish they were more tender but flavor was good), kale caesar salad (buttered bread was delicious), and the korean fried chicken (great flavor!) Would recommend 1 dish per person since the portions are pretty small. I also got the coco mint mocktail, which had lime, coconut water, and mint. It was quite sweet even though it doesn't sound like it! It had some sort of soda in it which made it fizzy too. Service here is great as well; very friendly workers and food comes out pretty quickly for a large group. Lots of different options on the menu to suit different flavor and diet preferences (vegan, vegetarian, etc). Very extensive drink menu too, with good non alcoholic options. Great pick for a casual dinner spot for a large group.

You can't be wrong at The Craft, good beer, good music, always sorts on the TV.... I am becoming a regular every time I am in town

This place was one of the few places open downtown for some reason. But it's a great option, with a large bar area and lots of seating. Great for groups. The food is really great too. It's very decadent and heavy. I mean even the salad was covered with cheese and nuts. It had great flavor though. The fried chicken was delicious and their hot sauce was very unique. Slightly vinegar taste with hotness, so yummy. The max and cheese was made perfectly so cheesy and delicious. I highly recommend if you are in the area and want some comfort food. If you are on a diet don't come here lol

The Korean Sticky Ribs are a Hit! The kale Caesar salad is amazing! The staff are always nice and if you do delivery you can get a To Go drink

This is my second time back as I do like how the atmosphere is. Just if you want to talk with your friends, it will be a little hard. Unless you want to chill and listen to some music, then I would recommend coming here. The service is great, always making sure we are doing okay and if we need anything else. The food is great and I love the chips & guac.

The ambience is great. The food was good. Typical bar menu. It is actually a cool spot to hangout with friends and have some good time. Our server was very quick and nice. Got all out order right and promptly. Drinks were amazing.

The drinks are amazing at this place. And the resto itself is ginormous. Holyyyy. Tons of drink selection. Very spacious inside albeit maybe a lil too dim in terms of lighting haha. Atmosphere is lit ALL THE TIME though. The service is pretty good. I usually come here to kick it w/ colleagues after work if I do decide to come into office that day, and it's always a rowdy time. One time we stayed a lil longer than usual and our waitress made sure to get another waiter to take care of us as her shift ended while we were still eating. I will say, the food is just ok. That's my honest opinion. I had the wings one night when they were on special and these don't come anywhere close to an actual wing spot uptown or in scarborough. There's not enough meat on them and they don't have a nice crunch. The flavour was not bad though. The only two food items I would order again are a burger (they make pretty decent burgers) and the mac n cheese (by far, the best food item on the menu imo). The mac n cheese has like 3-5 different cheeses. Definitely tastes homemade and it's a lil spicy! So you get a nice kick. Otherwise, if I'm not actually hungry, I'd stick to drinks here and then grabbing a snack elsewhere later or before. 5 star rating for the drinks, 4 star rating for service, 3 star rating for food. Aggregate of 3.5 / 5 stars which I'll bump up to 4 (since we can't award half stars on yelp). Good after work memories here haha.

My husband picked this restaurant because they had a beer he wanted to try. Unfortunately, it was out when we went. We sat inside at round tables near the bar it was warm at first because the windows were all open, but it eventually cooled down after a rain shower. Food was great: fries were amazing. Queso was good after you mixed it all together. Wings were great as well. Service was friendly and accommodating for our party of 6.

We were seated 5 minutes late - not a big deal because this place is so busy.. Definitely recommend making a reservation, otherwise you'll likely have to wait much longer. We were a group of 9 and we were taken very good care of by Marcel. We took advantage of the $5 Tuesday beer specials which is fantastic. I loved their parmesan fries, fried pickles and hummus. The guac unfortunately had no seasoning neither the chips. But overall, a great place to have events with big groups. The fact that we were seated outside was fantastic. Loved the patio ambiance. I know I'll be wise and book in advance when I come back. Do check out their daily specials which is pretty sweet. $5 mimosas on Sat Sun until 3pm is great!! And everyday they have some special.

Since arriving in Toronto, Craft Beer Market has always maintained their standards since I first visited them back in Ottawa! They have a wide variety of beers (domestic, local and international) available in pints and flights so you would be available to try them all! Regarding the food, they have your classic pub favorites to enjoy with your beer. The Barrel Nachos are large in portion which is a great appetizer to share with many friends! The Parmesan Fries are prepared nicely with a generous amount of shaved parmesan cheese to pair well with the side aioli. The burgers and wings are a great choice as well if you are looking for a more heartier option!

A generous 3 stars saved only by an ok burger. Visited on a Sunday night a couple weeks ago while in Toronto for business. Wasn't overly busy so you would think service would be top notch h but as is often the case you're more likely to get great service when a restaurant is busy and everyone's on. Started with a complete lack of acknowledgment when I arrived at the host station. He seemed to be able to only manage one party at a time and didn't even give a "I'll be right with you" while he seated the party in front. Took a seat at the bar so I'd be able to watch the game. Initially service was good and I asked to have the tv switched to the Canucks instead of the college football game on. He left and after about 10min it was the same program so I asked him and he said there was an issue. Hmm wouldn't that have been something you should have said without having to be asked. He then said there was an issue. Food was brought out and I had asked for a condiment and it was never brought out. Part way through the manager came by to explain there was an issue and offered to move me to a table to watch the hockey game they were able to show. Given I was half way through my food I declined. Had the typical "how's everything" after a few bites but other than that service was below mediocre in large part due to initial experience getting seated. Burger was good. Only complaint besides the missing condiment, vinegar if you're curious, was the fact that it was quite greasy. Would I repeat. Probably not, too many options downtown Toronto to try.

Nice hangout spot to catch some drinks, unwind with friends and just chill. They have a huge beer selection. The ambiance is great, with both indoor and and a huge outdoor lounge area. Service was good and the appetizers were a great size for sharing.

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and we found tons of bar seating! They had a wide selection of beers and even had a Oktoberfest special - both food & beer. Service was prompt and the beer/cider was great! We also ordered poutine which was divine.

I had a good time here. I arrived at 2:30pm to meet up with my friend for happy hour and drinks start at just $5! $6 for tall boys and cheap snacks too! Now are they going to be the best cocktails you've ever had? No, but they had a HUGE selection of beer, wine, spirits and food so there's something here for everyone. The manager is the SWEETEST guy ever, he came up to us to make sure we were being well taken care of. In fact, all of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. It's a relatively casual setup, with lots of seating and a cozy atmosphere. I'd definitely come back for some drinks when I'm in the area again. (Side note: I had about 4-5 drinks and spent only $25!)

Food is great quality pub food. Think a step higher than Jack Astors. Location at Yonge and Adelaide makes it unbeatable but it does attract lots of out of towners. The massive spot has two floors and a super huge bar on the main floor. Draughts were about $9-10 each and lots of TVs playing sports. A great place to meet friends but a bit loud for a date. Would go again occasionally due to price. Mains are about $15-32 each. Overall a must try!

Hog town Hazy Ale and Addy IPA Both are house IPA and tasted great. Paired with Chicken wings and Parmasan fries Fun ambiance ( a lot of young people) Great service! Strongly recommend

Stopped after a hockey game for a quick bite and a drink. Enjoyed our time as well as the food and beers. The servers were attentive and friendly. DJ played great variety!

Craft beer market has surprisingly very good food - I've tried their nachos, sliders, pizza and chicken sandwhich. Specifically their chicken sandwich is my favorite item to purchase, I'd say it is one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had at a pub in a while. Their alcoholic drinks are good, not great but that's to be expected when it's a place to get beer. The ambiance depends on the time of day. The service is typically sub-par. I would recommend coming here to eat or to grab a beer with a friend in the evening to watch a sports game.

A few days ago I met a friend at Craft as we've done before and again we met and sat at their very large indoor bar which features 145 beers on tap. We each ordered two beers, taking advantage of Tues. being the day when they offer local beers for $5/pint, plus tax and tip (the venue has food and/or drink specials every day of the week). Both of my choices were very enjoyable, and the Bartender offered us samples of beers in order to help us decide on which beers to choose. My friend and I met there around 3:45 pm and we stayed until around 5:30; it wasn't very crowded at first and more customers very gradually came while we were there, though it wasn't packed by the time we left. We had a quite enjoyable time and I hope to visit again before long.

I've come here a handful of times, both before and during Covid. Inside, the industrial style decor is nice and simple, and I love the high ceilings. The patio in the back courtyard is also spacious, private and heated! They do an AMAZING job at taking precautions for Covid. They make contact tracing super easy by allowing you to scan a QR code and input your details. There's hand sanitizer everywhere, and they explain the arrows on the ground for one way travel as they take you to your seat. The staff wear marks and don't get to close. The patio in the back has been expanded due to Covid, so there is always a ton of seating, though only a section of the patio is heated. If you have 5 or 6 people, you won't get a heated table. I've had their Kale Margarita pizza. Delicious crust, filling and flavourful. I like the little twist on the Margarita with the kale and fresh tomatoes. I also had the Chicken Taquito Skillet for brunch. Oh man was this ever delicious. I had a buttermilk biscuit as well b/c I love biscuits, and it was so good. The pineapple Moscow Mule was a bit on the sweet side for me, but still tasty times. They have great staff here as well. Every time I've been here the servers have been wonderful. They really know the food and drink menu well, and always have me laughing.

Nice place and staff but food was mid. Drink selection is good but food was ok. Sandwiches come on a very soft bun that makes everything all soft and clay like. My fried chicken sandwich just fell apart under this soft bun. Up on uncovering the fried chicken sandwich I saw it was made up of chicken nugget like pieces, not a great experience with food. Staff was great though, wish they got more feedback and worked on food here.

MY NEW FAV SPOT! The quantity of beers on tap def caught my eye! I finally was able to swing by two weekends ago and try a few things on the menu. I went during happy hour which was perfect to try items at a reduced cost. The server was very attentive and accommodating and I enjoyed my experience overall. I WENT BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK... it was that good!! Check out my instagram for a full review @filledupwithfood :)

I stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch and sat at the bar. Immediately felt welcomed and was introduced to the many, many, many draft beers. I decided on a local lager and the Kung Pao chicken lettuce wraps. So good!! Sevice, good and atmosphere was on point! If I didn't live in San Diego, I would put this place on the regular!

I actually have been here three times in a few weeks. I really like the beer list. The food was very good. The location was bery good. The service was excellent. I highly recommend.

Solid 3/5 + vast selection of craft beers! + happy hour specials on food and drinks (I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was delicious!) + great ambiance + server was especially nice, attentive, and friendly - my beer came warm... considering you're a beer place... your beer should be served cold.

There are some good day specials and an interesting menu. Lots of great choices. Last evening i did the wing special there and it came out pretty cold. Thought since it was the special it would be a hot item which was moving pretty quicky. Service by the staff was excellent. Very nice.

Went to have a beer & play cards. The server was so helpful in helping us choose our beers. The parmesan fries were put of this world, so much flavor!

Stopped in for a late evening bite to eat with a friend. We got the fried pickles and the Honolulu Hot pizza. Both were tasty! Definitely busy on a Wednesday night, lots of people were out enjoying a midweek drink. The beer selection is impressive. I'll definitely be back.

Great service drinks and food. So accommodating with our large group last night. No complaints .

Looooved this place! Sit outside if you can. Fun atmosphere, games, DJ. So many great beers to choose from. And the food is incredible!! The Laguna Beach Bowl was so delicious. Our server was wonderful--efficient and knowledgeable.

The patio was so cute and the restaurant was really lively when I went. Seems like a company booked half the restaurant for a social event. Lots of seating and food was good! (Full disclosure this is before the pandemic. Food was good!

Arrive late in the evening and found Craft Beef open after 10:30 in the middle of the week. Fortunately for us, Wednesday was their $10 chicken wings nightly special. Our waitress was very helpful and made a few suggestions. We end up with a arugula prosciutto pizza and wing. The place was not too crowded with enough people where I can still hear our conversations. When the food arrived it was well endowed with toppings. The pizza was great, except the center crust was a bit soggy. Nevertheless, it was very good. The chicken wing were also plentiful but a few were over fired close to being burnt. Overall, the food and drinks suggestion were great and we had an enjoyable night. I would like to try the nachos the next time I am here.

Love this place!! My hotel was about a block away so I visited multiple times during my 8 days in Toronto. It's accessible via the Path which is fantastic because this is a great spot for all types of people. There are over 100 draft beers and they'll give you a sample of anything to help you make an informed decision. They have a lot of great sours and local IPAs. I'm from Maine, so it's really hard to beat a hazy NE style IPA. I enjoyed a couple good ones. They also have a cask stout/porter brewed in house by a local brewery every Tuesday. You don't have to like beer however! They serve wine and other non alcoholic options. The menu is diverse and delicious. I tried the Mexi-flatbread, fish tacos, and fried pickles. All very good! The menu includes options such as mac and cheese, stout braised beef, pasta, flatbreads, burgers, sandwiches, you name it. The setup is very similar to their other location I've visited in Vancouver. I'll definitely be back!!

This place is great! I actually found this place because I was looking for a chill place to grab drinks with a group of friends and since a lot of us like beer, this seemed like a great choice. The restaurant is pretty large, especially for downtown. It has a chill atmosphere and great service. The beer menu is impressive! and if you get a little overwhelmed by the selection, the servers are great at recommending something to try. Personally I like European Beers ( Heineken & Stella ) so our server suggested I try Beau's Lug -Tread Lagered Ale and it was delicious! The only down side, is that their menu isn't too expansive. I wish they had a few more shareable apps like soft pretzels, The food itself is just okkkk, for the 5 of us we decided to split the Nacho Barrel & Mac & Cheese. both were pretty good, but nothing amazing especially for the high prices. They also don't have too many main meal options for vegetarians, which was a bit disappointing. Overall it was a great place to for casual drinks with friends.

Come here for beer... that's it. The food was less than average. Their nachos were stale before we could finish it. The chicken wings were dry. At least the service was good.

Came with my coworkers for team lunch as a group of 5. The staff took us to a sectional seating where there was a water leaking from the ceiling. We asked to seat elsewhere, and without any apology and they arranged us to seat at another group tables. Afterward I saw they arrange another group of 4 to sit at the same spot where we were. So they thought 4 people won't occupy the whole section so it didn't matter if there was water dripping down? Overall the service was slow. It took us forever to get food or bill. The portion is tiny. My House Made Bolognese was okay, but my coworkers' tacos were tiny. We wouldn't go back based on the overall experience.

Service was good. Fish tacos were a 10/10. Chicken lettuce wraps were okay. Not that much chicken and pretty spicy.

The vibe inside is pretty cool, modern bar area and newer setting. They obviously have a huge selection of beer, with some ciders and wine as well. Nice area to grab a few drinks. We ended coming in to grab a quick bite to eat. We were sat at a table and received service pretty soon after. Our waitress wasn't rude but she clearly wasn't thrilled about her job or waiting on us. Maybe she was having a bad day, but her attitude was kind of off which put a bad taste in our mouth. The food is pretty decent bar food, but a little pricey considering. I got the brewmasters chicken sandwich which was decent, with chicken, lettuce, avocado and bacon, but the fries were pretty awful. They were totally burnt and not very tasty. I'm assuming this is the style they are going for but I wasn't a fan. My friend got the bbq chicken sliders appetizer which came with a small side of chips. They were decent too but definitely appetizer size. For the price again, seemed a little small even for an app. Overall it's average food, a large drink selection, and blah service. It will do the job if you aren't looking for anything special. The bathrooms are nice though!

Happy hour all day on Sunday. $5 beer and selected food, good deal! Big restaurant to relax on sunny day. The bartender is very nice to introduce the beers.

Took too long for food and drink one ordered and when I arrived there may have been 3 tables with people upstairs. Had to ask for napkins. Ask for side plates. Ask for cutlery. Charged me $6.50 for chicken - where are they getting their chicken from that it costs the customer $6.50 for the tiny bit they gave me. Tables and and chairs along the wall upstairs are cumbersome. Having to climb over chairs to get in and out of your seat. Packing people in like sardines. Banging elbows with the table next to you because they packed a ton of people in. My (first) experience at this location will be my last. They should take a page out of the Vancouver location which is a very well run location in comparison. Update March 17th - tried to get a table at lunch. Told me I'd have to sit at the bar as reservations took up the balance of the tables and the wait for a table is 30 minutes. So now your walk-ins will go elsewhere as most people want a table and only have an hour for lunch. Stop taking lunch reservations and leave tables for walk ins. Also, what happened to the tables upstairs? These were reserved too? Still have not had a call or proper chat with the manager about my first complaint. Why do I have to contact a manager by email? The onus is on you to remedy the situation by contacting the customer. Update March 22nd - Clearly not interested in fixing the situation as I still have not heard back to messages sent. Definitely won't be back. Worst customer service experience I've had at any dining establishment, and I have been to countless.
