Indie Alehouse Brewing Co.

This used to be my go to spot and haven’t been in a while. A few of the menu items have changed. I tried the pizza and dish and chips. Both were just okay. The fish and chips serving size is worth every penny but it’s sooooooo greasy. I wasn’t even able to finish it. The pizza was just okay as well. A little dry and boring.

I had the halloumi sandwich with fries and it was so delicious! I also tried some of the pizza and it was perfect with a crispy crust and fresh sauce. The atmosphere is very warm and relaxed with really well decorated interior. Only con was that we were really quickly rushed out at the end of the meal without even really being offered a chance to look at desserts or anything else.

We came to Indie Alehouse on Monday night for a free comedy show. We really enjoyed the beer. Very nice flavours and plenty of variety to choose from. I like the restaurant decor and layout. Nice place in the west end of downtown and not far from High Park. I had the wings and fries and my friend ordered the mushroom pizza. The food was delicious and tasty. The only downside is the wings were quite small and not much meat. Otherwise, great place and I will be sure to come back again to try some other beer and food.

It was perfect! We need to be Covid cautious, and this place had lots of outside seating! Open air with a good breeze! Small bits of beer were available, which is perfect for us!

We visited Indie Ale House on Friday night and had a pretty good time overall - the vibe was chill. I would have loved to see a wider variety of beers on the menu but they did mention that they’ll have more options during the summer, so I’m definitely looking forward to that. We also ordered some food: buffalo wings, mushroom pizza, and pretzels. The wings and pizza were delicious, but the pretzel wasn’t the freshest - they let us know it was a frozen one they reheat. A fresh pretzel would really elevate the experience :) Overall, it was a nice evening though I’d take off a point just because there’s still room for a few improvements.

Located in the heart of the Junction, The Indie Alehouse is a popular Brewpub with locals in the area. I recently dropped by for first time during lunch hour, and similar to all restaurants in the area, it's wasn't busy during this time so there were plenty of seating and reservations were not required. However, evenings and weekends can be quite busy, but reservations can be made via OpenTable. I ordered the Burger of The mouth with a side of salad, while my friend ordered the Indie Fried Chicken Platter. I personally found the burger and salad to be quite delicious. The beef patty was juicy, with all sauces and ingredients complimenting each other nicely. My friend on the other hand, found the chicken a little dry, and the coleslaw warm, and soggy. The restaurant had a cozy laid back feel at this time, contrary to the loud and lively evenings. The hostess/server was attentive, friendly, and efficient. She let us sit anywhere we wanted when we arrived given the quieter afternoons, and she knew the menu well.

Brewery name checks out. Indie music playlist and modern hipster vibes. Their dark beers, Breakfast Porter and Zombie Apocalypse (imperial stout), and their Flanders red ale sour, Ritual Madness, are out of this world.

Excellent birthday lunch for our Toronto based twin kids! Great pizza, burgers and beer - a winning combination. Very friendly and attentive staff. Admittedly, I was sad to have missed the Sunday waffle special. An earlier visit will be needed next time! Well worth a visit. S,L,S,M,D,S,C & J May 5,2024
