My husband loves craft beers so of course we had to visit the Mill Street Brewery when we vacationed in Toronto.
Mill Street Brewery has the most impressive atmosphere of any brewpub I've ever been to. It's part of the refurbished distillery on the east side of downtown Toronto, which has lots of other shops, bars, and restaurants. The brewery itself has exposed brick walls, copper kettles, and a nice patio in the front and back. Seating is communal whether you want to sit at a bar or a table. There is also a few traditional seating and booths in the main space.
My husband thought the beer was "pretty good," which for him is a huge compliment. (He's very picky when it comes to beer.) The Beer Hall is the only place in Canada that has bierschnaps, a traditional clear and colorless beer-based spirit that's distilled onsite and served as a shot. My husband tried this in addition to a few beers on tap and liked it a lot. I, on the other hand, enjoyed the house-brewed root beer on tap. Yum!
We stumbled into Mill Street Brewery after we had already eaten dinner so we didn't have an opportunity to try the food. However, the menu had great options. If we had more time, we would have come back for lunch!
