Beerbistro

Checked out beerbistro the other day for lunch.
The dining room was packed but they sat us in a comfy spot in the bar.
There are tables with banquette seating and high tables too. Lots of sports on the tv screens dotted about.
They have a great selection of Belgium beers including Delirium on tap.

Ended up having their burger which was wonderful. lots of frites on the side too.
Right near the corner of Yonge and King. easy access to TTC.

You come for the beer and stay for the food and service. They have a huge selection of beer, as u can probably see from their name, and it doesn't disappoint. The inside is decent and spacious. They even have outdoor patio when the weather is nice. The staff is polite and friendly and speedy. I always come for the fries as well. They never disappoint. Good selection is decent as well so you can do healthy and "fun". I would recommend if u like having a beer or just sitting down for some delicious fries.

Beerbistro was a convenient walk from our hotel on King East St, and the had a nice outdoor patio not directly on the Main Street, so the ambience was very nice with great music emanating from inside.

The have an extensive beer list and I chose the Great Lakes Brewing Octopus Wants to Fight IPA. The food was just OK, probably not anything I would have again. One of the highlights was our server trainee Destiny, who was working her first shift ever at Beerbistro and cheerfully admitted that she new very little about the menu, but going off to find the answers to our questions. She should do well in the future.

A nice place to stop in and have a drink, but you might want to eat elsewhere.

Came here after work with a friend around 6pm. Surprisingly full on a weekday so we were seated by the bar table. They have a very extensive set of beers on tap to choose from and the bartender is rather helpful in determining which one you might like, even giving you a small cup to sample before ordering. I kinda wish more places would do this since committing to a full pint of a beer you've never tried is always a little risky.

Started with Henry's Irish Ale ($10) and it was pretty nice. It's a brown ale which was new to me. Definitely a lighter ale, not very bitter. Then tried the Stiegl Gold Lager ($9.75) which was probably my preferred out of the 2. Very easy to drink as with most lagers and made for a nice contrast to the comparatively stronger ale. For food, I went with the bistro mac and cheese ($23) which overall was nice, but a bit small. Plenty of chicken, cheese and breadcrumbs to go around, filling but simply because its a pretty "heavy" dish. Would've liked a bit less cheese with a bit more everything else.

Decent spot but plenty of options around to try with similar offerings.

Service here was amazing! We happen to come by on a live music night, so that was a nice treat!

It wasn't too busy so we sat comfortably across the open kitchen. I love seeing the kitchen and food prep!

The food was okay. I wasn't a huge fan of the dishes we ordered. Mostly I was craving mussels. All the food was honestly a bit bland. Needed some more flavors and salt. I liked the mac and cheese and we actually got their fries to go. They make these amazing, French fries that are really rich and delicious. Definitely would recommend. Portion sizing here was very good. Definitely more than I could finish.

It's a good place but I think there's tons of better options and value downtown for me to want to come back.

I walked into this establishment at 10:30pm on a Saturday and the hours are clearly posted until mid night. As I walked in I was rudley told they are closed and asked to leave. There was people sitting and eating and people still being served.

Made reservations for lunch for four and was given a choice of dining inside or outside when we got to the restaurant. It was about half filled for weekday lunch service. There are two rows of patio seats outside which was a slight obstacle course to walk through. The umbrella base is this huge square block placed in the aisle so you have to walk over each one. We were seated and left alone with nothing. No menus or water for quite a bit of time. Finally, our server came and served us water. The menu was simple for lunch, several choices in handheld items but not many others besides mussels and one steak.

Coworkers ordered tacos and they did not come with any sides so we also ordered the Belgian Frites. The tacos looked kind of small, the order came with four wonton sized pieces. The description on the menu for the Belgian Frites sounded amazing. "Blanched in beef tallow & duck fat" accompanied by two house made sauces. Unfortunately, the frites fell flat. The frites itself was not evenly fried, most of the pieces were soft. The sauces were bland and almost flavourless. I ordered the Steak Sandwich and it was okay. The striploin was done right, medium rare as requested. The bistro salad was overdressed, it was drenched in sauce.

Overall, would not be back again. The food and service did not justify the price at all.

Service was super friendly, we sat outside where it was clean and quiet. I heard the mussels were really good but didn't try them myself. We had poutine at the table which I thought was ok. I had a chicken sandwich with like a jalapeño coleslaw (I know I'm butchering what it really is). I guess I was expecting a bit more of kick from that but if it wasn't stated on the menu I wouldn't have know. I would come back but probably try something else next time.

We just went for a drink and an app. Apparently the new menu wirh new chef started 2 weeks ago. There have been several new chefs the past 20 years, so some items you see on Yelp might not be available. Cheese fondue was the best I have had. Very flavorful. Asked for a side of bacon to also dip in it. Service was great. Bartender was nice and for a Sat night, it wasn't busy at all, but nice place inside and had a cute area outside.

Fairly short walk to here from our hotel. We hit a little bit of a snag upon arrival. I had made reservations thru Yelp, but they had issues with the two systems syncing, so my name wasn't there. Thankfully they were able to seat us. Nice atmosphere.
Do yourself a favor and order the Belgian frites - you won't be sorry.
