Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, our flagship location first appeared on the scene in 2001 and reopened in July 2017 after major renovations. Appealing to the thriving craft beer scene, we proudly teamed up with Goose Island Beer Company from Chicago to open Canada's first Goose Island Craft Brewhouse. Sprawling nearly 18,000 square feet, our venue offers a mix of seated, mingling, patio and Beer Garden space for groups of 20-700.

    My team from razor creative and I had a fantastic time at the Beer Market! We enjoyed fresh salads, flavorful tuna, and classic fish and chips—all prepared to perfection. The drink selection was impressive, with an amazing variety of beers from around the world. Sampling different styles was a treat, and the staff’s knowledge helped us find some new favorites. The lively, relaxed atmosphere made it a great spot for a team night out. Highly recommend for both food and drinks!

    Service was slow albeit friendly, one of the beers was off-tasting, and the food was reasonably good but nothing noteworthy- the schnitzel was disappointing as it should be a thin piece of pork, but the steak frites was nicely done and tender.

    The selection of vegetarian options was someone limited. I ordered warm pretzels with dips, and the pretzel tasted stale.

    We had a 5pm reservation. We arrived just before 5pm with over 1 hour and 45 minutes to spare to eat dinner (in order to make it to our nearby show). The restaurant was extremely understaffed. There was barely any toilet paper in the washroom which desperately needed servicing ( I went at the start and end of our reservation and nothing had been done). We ordered our drinks and an appetizer to begin with and everything seemed fine (they arrived quickly). Our waiter was kind/friendly but seemed very anxious and rushed. As we were finishing our appetizer we ordered our meal. This is when the problems started. At 6pm our waiter said that our meals would be out at any minute. At 6:10pm I questioned him and he said that he would get them. We all had our meals by 6:20pm (I asked to pay our bill right away because I was concerned about getting out by 6:45pm). My sister's order was wrong (they added chicken to her vegetarian nachos). We let our waiter know that she would eat around the chicken because we were in a rush (and we were not charged for the chicken which was acceptable). A waitress at a table near us dropped her heavy tray near me and glass flew everywhere including towards my food. I felt bad for her and I am sure that she was rushing. We had already paid for our meal and we were in a rush at this point. I did not finish my food. When we left the restaurant I let the girl a the front desk know that the toilets needed servicing and that overall we had a bad experience due to understaffing. It was not our waiters fault. Other than our initial drinks and our shared appetizer, our main meal were not something that we could enjoy.

    We popped in for happy hour - there are a very limited number of items on the discounted menu. We had the chicken flatbread, nachos and mussels which were all delicious! The restaurant is HUGE and holds many many diners. We heard that there were two large parties at the same time which really slowed down service. Our waitress was great and despite being run off her feet she was pleasant and communicated with us so we knew that we were not forgotten!
