Loose Moose / Antler Room

Loose Moose / Antler Room is our go-to gathering spot downtown. The vibe is lively without being chaotic, perfect for catching up over great drinks and comfort food. We love the rotating taps, creative cocktails, and shareables—wings, nachos, and sliders never miss. Staff are upbeat and on the ball, even when it’s packed, and there’s always a good playlist (plus plenty of screens for game nights). Whether it’s a quick after-work meet or a longer hang with friends, it always feels easy, fun, and welcoming. Our downtown default—for good reason.

This place is pure fun. The burger was excellent, the raspberry lemonade was elite, and the shot called “My Ex Lover’s Heart”? LISTEN. It delivered exactly the level of petty satisfaction the name promises. A great spot if you want good food, good drinks, and a little comedic therapy in liquid form.

Wed night walk-in and we decided to sit at the bar to grab a quick bite and libations. Amy at the bar was cute and friendly and we stuck with local lagers which included Canadian Lager and Moosehead Lager - both really easy to drink. For food, I got the Spicy Mexican Rice Bowl ($21.21) with Tofu tossed in Buffalo sauce - Amy's recommendation to toss the Tofu with something, and that did the magic! Big portion size, but good on flavor. I couldn't finish the plate though! Noise levels got louder as the night progressed and it was kind of difficult to have a conversation while seated at the bar. Perfect place if you are looking for some good drinks and bar eats!

After a day trip to Niagara Falls, I hopped on the two-hour train back to Toronto, arriving at Union Station around 7:45 pm. Hungry, thirsty, and in need of a good spot, I wandered just 150 meters from the station — and there it was: The Loose Moose. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I’d stumbled upon a gift from the gods. I ordered their loaded nachos with extra guacamole, plus BBQ chicken. My friend went for the “Woods” Burger. Every bite was spot on — fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The sauces they serve with each dish aren’t just an afterthought; they elevate the whole experience. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and the staff are nothing short of excellent — friendly, attentive, and quick to make you feel at home. Then there are the beers. If anyone doubts Canada’s brewing game, The Loose Moose is the place to set them straight. The variety and quality on tap are impressive, with something for every taste. Whether you’re just off the train or exploring downtown, this spot delivers on food, drink, and good vibes. I left full, happy, and already planning my next visit.

Spotted in before a blue jays game and our server was fantastic. She knocked it out of the park and was super friendly. Place was packed but still managed to get in and out quickly. Got the BBQ burger which was top tier. Double patties was nice. As well as poutine which was a great change of pace for a non local. Great stop before a jay’s game

Visited The Loose Moose recently and had a pretty good experience overall. The place has a lively and energetic atmosphere — perfect for a casual night out with friends. The ambience was excellent, with a rustic pub-style vibe, great music, and a welcoming crowd. It’s the kind of spot that feels vibrant without being overwhelming. I ordered the Calamari and Nachos to start with. The nachos were definitely the highlight — served in a good portion size, well-layered with cheese, toppings, and accompanied by fresh dips. They were crisp, flavorful, and great for sharing. The calamari, however, was disappointing. It came out as small fried rings, and the portion felt underwhelming for the price. It lacked the texture and flavor you'd expect from a good calamari dish. Honestly, it felt like a bit of a waste of money, especially when compared to the quality of other items on the menu. That said, the service was fantastic — the staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to check in and bring everything out in good time. It really helped elevate the overall experience. If you’re going for the vibe, drinks, and pub classics like nachos or wings, Loose Moose is a solid pick. Just be mindful when trying some of the smaller appetizer items. I’d still recommend it and would definitely return to explore more of the menu.

It was my first time trying Canadian food, and I really loved it. The poutine was delicious, and the burger was big and juicy. We enjoyed the entire meal!

It was full of people despite being after lunchtime and not the weekend. So I decided to come in and try their traditional butter chicken wings and soup of the day. I paired them with red Niagara wine. The taste and vibes were incredible.
