beerbistro is pretty chuffed to say that we were ahead of the beer-boom in Toronto! Since day one we took beer seriously — educating diners to the enormous range of flavours in beer — both in the glass and on the plate, serving up a varied bistro menu paired with a selection of 100+ local craft and international beers. There are only a few things that we insist on around here: that guests leave here with a new understanding of what a beer can be; that the kitchen employs the vast diversity of flavours found in beer to craft new tastes and food experiences; and that everyone — customers, staff, and management included — has a good time!

Walking distance to Scotiabank Arena, Rogers Center, Meridian Hall and the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Award-winning Frites and Mussels are a must have!

Beerbistro in Toronto is celebrated for its "excellent beer selection" and "knowledgeable staff." Guests rave about the "crispy and perfectly seasoned" frites and "some of the best" mussels. While service can be slow, attentive staff and a "relaxed atmosphere" make it a "never miss" spot, especially before events.

    Come for the brews, stay for the frites! A wide and varied menu, with excellent beer pairings. Don't like beer? Not a problem. Lots of other things available!

    The lamb shank was incredible!! The meat off the bone, so perfectly cooked. Also enjoyed the truffle fries and cheese fondue. Everything was excellent including the server. She knew what to recommend and her suggestions were perfect. Big thumbs up.

    Nothing really special about the place except for its convenient location. Ok value though for the area. Respectable place to meet people after work for a quick drink.

    This was our first visit to the Beerbistro. The food and service was outstanding. The mussels were the best we’ve had, and the frites, no words. Our server Lois was amazing and Erin was super helpful with her knowledge of the beers that would go well with our meals. All in all, an outstanding dinning experience. And don’t be shocked by the prices, the portions are huge given today’s practice of smaller for more money. If you’re ever downtown and hungry, definitely try the Beerbistro. 18 king st.

    Great beer selection friendly service Bit pricey for what you’re getting- elevated pub food. But everything in Toronto is expensive and overpriced now It’s a nice spot downtown and we’ve been here several times.
