Radical Road Brewing Co.

Cute little brewry. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They serve food from Meanbao which was spectacular. There's a small dog friendly patio. Definitely be back here with my pup to enjoy more from that menu amd another great flight of beer. 10/10

Lovely brew pup with delicious beers! Love their IPAs and it was good to see they added Mean Bao to the venue. Great eats to pair with their brews. We had a newborn in our group when we went last and the bartender was very accommodating and friendly so we very much appreciated the hospitality. Highly recommended when you're in the area.

The beer here has always been great, but the calzones make this a 10/5 dinner spot. Inventive, delicious , reasonably priced. Bonus points for the house-made chili oil

Had the Clan scotch ale, which was great, as well as a flight. The 3 kings hibiscus ale was also really good. Pretzels were fresh and the beer cheese that came with it was a fantastic pairing. The potato wedges were really crispy. 100% would come back!

Great beer, great patio (medium sized, seating for maybe 18). Ashley on a Sunday is a lovely bartender, she provided very attentive and friendly service. I really enjoyed my first visit.

We came for the calzones and a chill afternoon... after a morning hike within the city. I got the mushroom cheese calzone which was good. I wish there was a little pizza sauce inside but it was tasty. Friends got the taco calzone and pepperoni calzone. Plus the garlic dipping sauce. Great combo. Would come back to try more calzones.

It was my first time visiting radical road, and I was a big fan! The staff were great, very friendly and attentive. The food is provided my mean bao and it was delicious, and of course the beer they make was very good. I tried the Saison and the easy peasy pale ale, both were great. They also do live music, and I was a big fan of the country tunes playing on the patio. Overall fun vibe and great spot to hang and take in the sights and sounds of leslieville. Definitely plan on visiting again soon.

Always have a great time at Radical Road! The staff are super friendly and the beer is delicious. Everyone needs to try an Eppic Ale. ;) Cozy vibes, great service, and an overall welcoming atmosphere… what more could you ask for?

This is a consistent spot for beers and cider. They have a rotating selection on tap and a very well stocked fridge for take away cans. I don't drink beer anymore, but have had their brews in the past and always been happy. The serve Pommies cider in a tall can. Not a ton of seating, but a cozy atmosphere with a small outdoor area. Tuesday nights are trivia night and apparently a local favourite.

Amazing service from Ashley! It was a great place for me and my friends to stop in on my trip to Toronto :)

Nice small brewpub with a good selection of beers. I liked the UTE German lager and the PBRR Peanut butter ale which were both excellent. They have Trivia on Tuesdays, but you need to reserve a table on Eventbrite as the bar is so small. We didn't try the food but they are doing Baos and Curry bowls in combination with MEAN BAO, a Toronto chain.

Gord and I had supper this evening at Radical Road (on Queen Street E/Jones Avenue). They have been around for about three years and it's the first time we've checked it out. They brew beer onsite and you can buy some to go. My Slingshot was tasty! Gord and I split an order of pretzels. They were soooo good! The pretzels were hot and soft ... the beer cheese and grainy mustard were tasty. We'd get this again. We also ordered wings. Gord got his plain and I got mine with Buffalo sauce. They were good too ... very tender and my sauce was good. We'd get these again. Rachel and Slash were our servers. They were friendly and chatty. We'll be back!

Nice small brewpub. Chill atmosphere, friendly staff, good beer, and terrific baos! Great place for an early drink. I imagine it gets quite crowded later in the evening.

#pandemicreview This place is open for business with Plexiglas barrier and employees wearing the proper PPE gear. The heat wave has made me thirsty so I figure it's time to stretch my legs in the neighbourhood and find some tasty brews. I walked into Radical Road and was greeted with a cheerful hello. I only intended to buy a few beers but ended up taking home one of every kind of beer they had including some new additions that weren't advertised on their website yet (hint: they're delicious!). I have always enjoyed their Yuzu citrus beer and the new Funk & Sour series definitely hits me with flavours of passion fruit and other tropical sours. Thanks Radical Road for the great summer beers!

Second visit Staff always great PLEASE consider keeping the 2 MANGOS all year round, both AMAZING

Very tasty beer at this very small brewery. They basically converted a small restaurant space into a long cooper topped bar space with a few tables scattered around. The "Brewhouse" is visible through a glass wall and it has a few small batch pots and a small kitchen. Super cool vibe with classic rock playing in the background. It's dimly lit so the copper bar top really pops. I had a flight with some spectacular choices: Yuza Pale Ale, 8 Track IPA, Django Dopplebock and Sea Monster Porter. All the beers were fabulous examples with tons of flavour. I sampled the Straight Up Sour with Blackberry, oh yeah!

Small craft brewery/bar in Leslieville (I think that's the neighbourhood) that serves a limited menu and a tiny list of good beers. I had the St. Arnold (Blond) and the 1847 (Red). Add a Brunette and it would have been interesting... :)) The server was quick, I swear that she was psychic and pre-poured our beer and had it behind her back as we ordered. No sooner did I say the beer did a finely poured amber nectar in a glass show up in front of me - better a bottle in front of me than the frontal lobotomy! Snacked on the kettle chips and a hot pretzel...yummmmm! The bar itself has limited seating at the bar and a few tables. A nice neighbourhood hangout and it would be a RAD place to hang out and become the NORM there...! Figure that one out. Cheers!

Another summer weekend... another microbrewery to check out. This one is further out east and looks like just a regular bar but it is a great spot that has a cute little sidewalk spot to sit and enjoy the sun. I love local business and Radical Road fits into this so nicely. It's found in Leslieville and unlike some other breweries, it does more than IPAs! I know thats the trend but there are some people who like a beer to taste like... a beer! The spot isn't too big but enough where you can fit a group of 4 on the sidewalk, at least 8 people along the bar and more table seating in the back. The atmosphere is great... lots of amazing pieces that are eye catching and bringing in an antique industrial vibe to the spot. Service here is just super friendly. I cant ask for better service either... completely knowledgeable about every beer they brew, anyone here can help you find the one that would be your perfect pour. For the ones I tried in a flight, I have to say they're inventive. With options like Cucumber mint (yes you heard that right), Yuzu, and Peredition (chocolate milk stout), you will find a lot of different flavours beyond your hopping standards. Another great thing about trying the flights, they offer a lot of the beer in cans at prices that are super reasonable. It seemed to be a hit that got tons of locals coming in to grab 12 cans to go somewhere for a bbq. Cucumber Mint Kolsch - This is for those who dont like the traditional hoppy beer but love a refreshing summer drink. It does have a cucumber light flavour ... didn't taste the mint so much. Really easy to drink. Yuzu Pale Ale - Of the beer we tried, this was a zestier take than everything else. I would say the citrus flavour is a bit muted compared to other ones in Toronto but definitely another easy summer patio beer to those who are looking for a good refreshing lemon note to their beer. Genesis West Coast Tripel - A more traditional flavour as it has a rounded hoppy note that is prominent. Still quite light in flavour so it appeals to all those who are in the IPA bandwagon. I found this one to have a bit of a sweeter note than your usual IPA... they describe it as being fruity so I can see where it came from. Honestly a great local spot for those in Leslieville. Definitely the spot to be at because we never saw the place empty... always filled with locals and chatting with the really service.

Love this brewery! It's a bit of a trek to get to, but so worth it. A cozy place with low lighting, it has both table and bar seating. Not great for large groups because it gets pretty busy and it's not a large space. Service is great. They truly love what they do. When I asked questions, our beer slinger told me his opinion as well as what customers thought. Great snacks too. The hummus platter is very out of proportion....TONS of hummus! Beers are pretty good as well! I look forward to another visit!

What a great little place this is. Excellent brews to choose from, Great eats to enable you to taste more of the beers and impeccable service from the staff. The gentlemen that was holding down the fort seemed like an honest, fun and approachable dude. I had a great few conversations with him from gaming to tattoos and folk lore. The people that frequent this place were an great eclectic bunch. My party had struck up various conversations with 3 different group that were sitting beside us. YES DON'T JUDGE US, We may have stayed here for a while, almost 5 hours actually ahaha. Do yourselves a favor and drop by this place. Also might be a good idea to follow them on IG as they post events they maybe having including Whiskey Wednesdays....That makes me tear up just a lil bit lol.

Beers and sharable bites from a microbrewery - satisfies all the requirements to be in Leslieville. Walking in, it's an inviting bar with their brewery in the back. They have seasonal beers and as soon as I saw cucumber mint I was sold. Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my partner, looking for something casual. There was sprobably only another party in the place, with some families outside on the small patio out front. Beer Flights ($10-12): Slingshot, St Augustine, Shoreline, and Cucumber Mint. Strong ales are my favourite, having more of a punch to really get my night started. The Cucumber Mint was super refreshing and you can really taste the crispness in the drink. Mini Smoked Salmon and Salt Cod Cakes ($16): Decent, crispy fish cakes with a light cream beneath. Personally, it wasn't worth it for the price of 6 small coin-sized pieces and it was pretty flavour less. This is where they lose the stars for me. The service was great - super helpful and nice even when they did forget our water (small little detail though!).

Small but seemingly popular brewpub. We were looking forward to trying this place, but left somewhat disappointed. It's very dark inside, and the service leaves something to be desired. Beers were a bit overpriced and unimpressive. We did not try the food here...

They are really known for their beers. We ordered a flight to try and we liked the Yuzu and the Cucumber Mint beer the best. I highly recommending getting those two. We ordered the Jerk Pork Tacos (our favourite), Beef Wraps, and Crispy Chicken Tacos. The beef wraps had slices of beef and it was cooked medium rare but very chewy. The two tacos were really good but we liked the Jerk Pork the best because of how the flavours fit together.

Hereabouts is a Queen East storefront microbrewery way close to home. The pub itself has a great classy intimate neighbourhood vibe, and the service even more so great. It practically feels like a tight living room. They squeezed in a tiny street patio, and there's hardly much room for a big party with only a couple tables, but the bar's really where you want to be. You can't really see the in-house brewing operations which is buried behind the kitchen and also a windowed room downstairs (I believe the bulk of their operations is off-site tho), but wait until you open your mouth. They have a full stocked bar, though you're likely here for their own suds, right? Besides their crispy signature SlingShot (available in cans at many LCBOs) and the interesting and highly recommended-by-me, amazing Yuzu PA (punchy citrusy flavour made with imported Japanese yuzu juice; also available canned at many LCBOs), they have a constantly rotating lineup of other tasty interesting, out-of-this-world in-house products on tap. They offer tasting flights of any 4 beers for something like I think, $10 or $12? Food-wise, the brewpub has a tiny menu of fine cooked grub that seems to change often. Someone beside me had a massive Shepard's pie that smelled amazing, but I simply snacked on the kettle chips ($5) with my many beers, and those were a fistful of well-seasoned fried yum. If all you want is drinks to take home, the "bottle shop" is really just a vintage fridge right next to the window. 8-Track IPA in stubbies--we go way back. [TTC: Jones bus or 501/2/3 it to Queen/Jones]

For now a mini-review. We had a Radical Road IPA at The Local that we really liked a month or so ago and since then we have been curious about visiting. It was a hot afternoon and we cycled over to check it out. The place is a cute classic bar but we sat outside in the heat. There are just a few seats squeezed onto the sidewalk out front but it's a nice spot to soak up the street scene. We revisited the IPA and had another style (which I cannot remember right now). It was a quick visit and we were soon hydrated and off to continue our ride. Looking forward to a return visit and enjoying the interior.

Love the down home vibe of this small brewer in Leslieville. If the weather permits, enjoy your beers on the sidewalk patio. Great range of brews here, without being overly pretentious. Special shout out to the Yuzu Pale Ale, which perfectly fuses the juicy tartness of yuzu with a highly drinkable pale ale.

Great decor, and something coming out of the kitchen. Unfortunately we weren't there for food. Picked up 2 types of beer to try and chatted with the waiter. Would I return? Yes Would I recommend? Yes

Cute little bar/brewery. Very open concept you can see into the kitchen. There are few tables mostly accommodating 2-4 people but migt be able to do up to 6. The bar stools looked super comfy. Beer selection included a variety of styles; Belgian, pale ale, ipa and stout. These git a offer flights which include your choice of 4 beers on the menue (taste size) The service was friendly. Overall its pretty good Toronto craft beer. There was also a food menu which we did not take advantage of this time

One of the few reasonable places on Uber eats to buy alcohol from! Not insanely overpriced like other establishments which is extremely appreciated! Would appreciate a large wine selection to accompany my order! The yuzu beer was delicious, highly recommend

I stopped into Radical Road impulsively when in the east end and I'm glad I did! Previously, I had only really been introduced to their Yuzu Pale Ale which is available in some LCBO's, and admittedly I wasn't the hugest fan of it. However upon visiting their tap room, I'm much more impressed with things. In fact, despite hitting a few East end breweries during the day, this was my favourite stop. The tap room is cozy and laid back. Bartender was friendly, and a Weezer megamix on the house stereo was a nice bonus. Beer wise, they had about 6 beers on tap (oddly enough, not including the aforementioned Yuzu), hitting a variety of styles and they were all pretty darn tasty and easy drinking. Specifically, their Key Lime Gose was incredible! Salty and sour like a good gose should be, but the lime notes really rounded it out wonderfully. My only disappointment was in not being able to take any to go with me, but that's Ontario's bottle shop laws not being allowed to sell beer after 11pm that hurt me there, nothing per Radical Roads doing. A fully recommendable stop for any east end beer explorers!

They are now shipping something call "EZ" marketed as a hang over cure with orders. The legal print on the container is so small it can barely be read unless with magnifying technologies like zooming in while using the camera on your phone. It can not be read with a normal human eye. This substance should not be consumed by anyone until reviewed by health Canada.

Came in from LA and a few locals recommend this place. Food was amazing and tasted homemade fresh. To drink the husband and I tried the Pommes Cider and Cucumber Mint Kolsch. Very mild and tasty. Also tried the Caribbean Curried Vegetable Roti and Spicy Pan Fried Squid. Very good!

This place is awesome. Went here with a groupon that included a couple of flights (choice of 4 small beers) and a tour. Owner was super friendly and showed us the process. All the beers were excellent and quite varied. We really liked the slingshot, which we were told you can get at many LCBO's. We also ordered the pretzel which was fantastic. Came with a couple delicious dipping sauces (one dijon-based the other cheese-based). Really hit the spot with the beers. The service was excellent overall to and the place has a nice vibe. Will definitely be back.

They have completely nailed all elements. The atmosphere was lively considering the small size with not an empty seat in the house. It was probably the best beer, averaged across all types, that I've had at any microbrew restaurant and I've tried more than I'm proud of. The saison was incredible. Don't let the small kitchen fool you, the food was also great. It's not an extensive menu but everything on it sounds good from lamb ribs to braised beef. I had the braised beef and it was a very tender large boneless piece served over some very cheesy Mac & cheese and with a side of some delicious sauteed leafy green. It was a lot of value for $19. Seating could be tough if you're with a large party but we were good with 4. I highly recommend this place and will be back!

We came into this place yesterday with a large group and pretty much tried everything on the beer and food menu. Amazing! Leslieville is lucky to have such a sweet little spot open up that serves great beer and food. It's a little tight for space so you might not get a table right away but that just shows you how well they are doing and for good reason. My only complaint is I wish the wings were slightly bigger and crispier because they are so good I could three orders to myself. Service was awesome and the owners are solid people!

Nice spot to enjoy a cold one. Bartender kindly let us stay 15 min past close to wrap up and not feel rushed. Wasn't packed. Cucumber beer was definitely different. Lovely ambiance and quality venue.

Good choices for food and beer. The food took SO LONG TO COME OUT. We were starving. I don't know if this is a ploy to get you to order more beer, but we had to slow our drinking to wait for the food. The food was really good (I think. sometimes when you're that hungry, ALL food tastes good). The pork quesadilla was steaming hot. The pretzel was good, the side mustard clearly trumping the cheesy sauce. The beer was good, service friendly. I would go back!

Amazing new place in Leslieville. Finally a restaurant that is focused on great beer and food that is not trying to be a dark hipster joint. Jerk wings were just the perfect amount of spice and very good flavor. Charcuterie board was delicious with deep fried olives...Homemade spicy mustard was so good! The homemade warm spicy nuts...heaven We then order the gnocchi...so fresh. Loved that it was not cream based sauce and the mix of the corn and mushrooms was a great idea. "Best napkins in the city!"

We LOVED the beers here....Yuzu (my fav), Midnight Oil (dark and rich), Slingshot (available at the LCBO along with Yuzu) and Double Speak in my flight. The food was solid. We started with the kettle chips, and had the chicken dumplings and BBQ braised beef for our mains. Everything was very good. Not crazy gourmet, but solid comfort food perfect with the beers. It is not a large space, and the vibe and service are laid back and comfortable. We really enjoyed our evening.

I went there tonight and was served by Ashley! The girl is absolutely amazing and has the best customer service and went above and beyond expectations! Thanks for helping me out tonight. Ashley is awesome and highly recommend going to Radical!!!

Came here last Saturday with a couple friends, before The Hip finale. Pints are $6 a glass, flight of 3 cost $9. Two of us opted for the flight. Beers were great! Unfortunately the Yuzu barrel was dry, so I'll definitely have to try it next time. While enjoying our flight we also had an order of their home made potato chips ($5). Nice and crunchy with a slight seasoning. Great match for the beers. All 3 of us ordered the BBQ braised beef ($19). It fell apart with a fork and was delicious. The beef sat atop a bed of mac n cheese, which was creamy smooth and cheesy. Also on the plate were some greens to balance out the plate. Oh, and a home made cornbread muffin. Finished off with some peach cobbler served in a jam jar($7). Big slices of caramelized peaches with a crunchy crumble and fresh whipped cream. It was devine! It's a small joint with only 4-5 tables and room for 5-6 at the bar. They'll definitely need more space to grow! Service was also fantastic! Friendly and attentive. Great addition to Leslieville!

If you want to spend $50 on two cold sandwiches with no sides, this is the place for you. Oh also they put lettuce on a Reuben to make it extra terrible.

I've only had the beers and the Yuzu and the 8 track are a must have. I've looked over the menu and it looks great as well. Definitely worth checking out!

Came for the beer, which I love. Stayed for the food, which was amazing!! Friendliest service in town. Keep up the great work!

Awesome place right on Queen in Leslieville. Stopped in for a beer and some food. Both were really good. Tried the Art of Darkness Porter and the Lamb Sirloin. Staff were really cool and very knowledgeable. Would definitely return! A small place punching above its weight class!

Popped in here for a pint and a pretzel. I tried the sampler flight of three beers. They were all pretty yummy. The pretzel was a wee bit dry, but the two dips were decent. The place itself is cute and our server was really nice. I would come back!

Lady's night out was a blast, we usually go lefty's but decided to give this place a go. Glad we did, great beer, atmosphere. We will be back for sure. Thinking of planning our next wrap party there.

Small cozy place, great service - waitress Julie was super nice to us - organized the table for 6 + small baby in a car seat. BBQ braised beef was super juicy and double speak belgian IPA was hoppy enough! Too bad they didn't have that IPA to go, but slingshots talls were quite a descent substitute

We took the boys from our beer league to test out the beers last night. Andrew Machete was an awesome host, gave us some valuable information about the beers, and we all enjoyed a great night. Nice intimate area with space for about 50 people.

Visited Radical Road on Saturday Oct 31 around 7:30. The atmosphere was great and so was the décor, simple but tastefully done. I heard a lot about the braised beef dish so this is the dish I had in mind however they ran out! What a huge disappointment that was!! Ended up with the chicken which was fine but really not what I had in mind. Personally would have prefers a warm potato side instead of cold potatoes but it could be me looking for comfort food going into a long winter. After having ran out of the beef they also ran out of some of the beers. There are no words to express how I felt about that! The staff was unsure of what to say about that second incident but he was a trooper I will check this place out again but with no expectations this time around and hopefully they will hit it out of the park this next time.

What a great place! The beer was delicious, and I'll be back to have a flight next time. The food was tasty and the staff were warm and attentive which was excellent especially given how busy the place was. I'll definitely be back.

Small, upbeat, trendy and comfortable setting for small groups and even for singles. Great service.... Menu is simple but hit a wide range of cuisine and taste senses from sweet to spicy to traditional to island, incorporating Canadian eats like the braised beef which is very hearty and reasonably priced. I had the Prawns & Grits and if you like seafood, this is a must-have. The prawns were well seasoned with some cajun spice and the grits swam in a mascarpone cheese sauce and white chocolate... yum... Now the beer... the flight of 4 is worth the try if you are a beer adventurist like me. For the beer snob, you have the option of IPAs to lager to stout-like beer. My favourite is the 8-track IPA which paired nicely with the Prawns n Grits. Definitely worth another trip to try the Jerk Chicken drums and the Jamaican Curried Lamb Ribs...

Stopped in to try the beer, decided to order dinner, and so glad I did! Best "bar food" I think I've ever had. The chicken, mashed potatoes and kale was worthy of a fine restaurant. The beer was very good as well, not a huge selection, but nice variety. Server was friendly and attentive. Only one complaint, the band was a bit too loud for the small space.

Lovely bunch - especially Maggie. Very nice, comfortable brewpub in Leslieville, without attitude and amazing chips. All their beers are great, but the chocolate oatmeal stout is wonderful. Best addition to the neighborhood. We're a lucky bunch, in the east end, to have Radical Road

Checked this place out because it was nearby, and we wanted a cold beer and hopefully some food...Walking in, I knew it was a stand up place, not seedy, but very clean and cozy. The male server was great, friendly and informative, not in a hurry when we asked a couple of questions, though he was alone. Kitchen opened in an hour(we were there at 5pm, but he took our orders at 545 so chef could start prepping at 6), so we had their signature beer, Yuku, I believe. It was great, we had another with the burgers, veggie fries, and Buffalo chicken pieces. Again, fantastic, well made beef burger, cooked perfectly, a vegetarian would have had it, it was so good, and the beer went down perfectly with it; burger looked small, but really wasn't, beef was many slices, rare and tasty, and packed a punch in meal satisfaction and leafy greens; fries were icing on cake. BTW washrooms were quaint and clean. Would highly recommend, and as we were leaving, couple with child behind us reminded me of my forgotten jacket on chair.
