Really liked everything about this place! Loved that they let you try every beer, very wide variety of food options. Something for everyone! Rafa was our server and he was great! We had a few questions about the menu and he was super helpful to go and get the answer. The falafel salad bowl was huge and definitely had leftovers to take home and enjoy! read more

We dined at Queen's Harbour the night before and had a wonderful time, great food, ambience, and service. We attempted to try Amsterdam Brewhouse, waited in line for 45 minutes for a covered patio and they tried to seat us in direct sunlight zero shade. Managers were not helpful, particularly JJ. We walked next door to Queen's Garden and were seated in 5 minutes. Save yourself the hassle and go to Queen's. read more

This place during the summer season must be so fun. It is set up for maximum fun. Being off season, the food was great. The service was ok. The craft beer, 3 speed, was excellent. read more

I've been buying Boneshaker IPA and Space Invader IPA for a while now, so I figured it was finally time to visit Amsterdam Brewhouse and try even more of their beers along with the food. My wife and I really enjoyed this spot. We ordered flights and honestly tried every single beer, and they were all fantastic. It was actually hard to pick a favourite because they were all so good. I'm usually pretty picky when it comes to darker beers, but even the black beers here were delicious. For food, we started with the Spinach & Artichoke Dip, which was excellent...but the real surprise was the bread and house-made chips it came with. The chips had a great crunch and were perfect for dipping. For mains, I ordered the Brisket Mac & Cheese and my wife got the Brown Butter Lobster Roll. Both were awesome. The mac & cheese was packed with flavour and the brisket was phenomenal...the fat literally melts in your mouth. My wife loved the lobster roll as well. The whole place has a great vibe; lively, popular, and right on the water with beautiful views. Service was excellent too. Huge shoutout to our server Jeremy, who took great care of us all night. Thanks Jeremy! Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Toronto. For more food, beer, and travel reviews, check out our YouTube channel A&M Roam! read more

Review is outdated, from Aug 2024. I found this photo in my camera roll and realized I never posted it. Berry basil smash 10/10 Fantastic cocktail. I saved it in my recipe book for later!! Garlic knots & cheese marinara 10/10 I think it was goat cheese? I'm not 100% positive and it's not on the menu anymore. However it was so delicious! read more

Amsterdam BrewHouse - Garlic knots & Cheese Marinara - Breweries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Great place to bring guests to the City! With plenty of seating both inside and outside, you can't go wrong here. The beers are top notch, with plenty of selection since brewery! And one of Toronto's top brewers for many years too, as you can see by their pictures highlighting their history on your walk to the bathroom. The food was good too, just check out my pictures. Best part was the view of the harbour, and in both summer heat and cold windy days you can enjoy the fact that you are on the shores of one of the world's most incredible lakes, without the weather impeding your enjoyment. Highly recommended and easy to access with a scenic street car ride from downtown. read more

Wow wow wow. All perfect. Attentive friendly staff. Fun ambiance. Most patrons were glued to the World Cup on TV. I had the karaage chicken app and it was amazing especially the sauces. Tried their signature Boneshaker. Wow again. Sat outside next to the water. Perfect even with the rain. read more

Everything was solid. The beer was high quality. Disappointed there wasn't a sour available for me but my hubby did enjoy his flight. I got an elderflower gin thing that was tasty. It was definitely loud and busy and I can imagine it's crazy during the summer. Great view of the water. Server was very nice and the music playing brought back middle and high school vibes. Started with the calamari which was very good, the dipping sauce especially. Hubby got the Smokehouse BBQ burger which was huge. He couldn't finish it. I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap which was very tasty. The kid got a cheeseburger which he enjoyed. We all enjoyed the fries. Got the small donuts for dessert and the cookies that came with the kids meal. Even a day later, we can attest that the cookies are really good as we just ate them on the long drive home to Baltimore. The donuts were really good. Very fresh. read more

Amsterdam BrewHouse - Very cool inside. - Breweries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We stopped by before a Blue Jays Game to have some drinks and grub. Initially, we went inside but found out that is reservation only and they were completely full. We were told we could try our hand at the patio and went around the side. There was a small line and we were seated fairly quick. This place is enormous! For a Thursday afternoon they were crazily busy but kept things moving. The patio had an amazing view and we were shaded in our seats. I ordered some appetizers : Karaage Chicken and the Fish Tacos. The Karaage chicken was light and fluffy. It came with two sauces; chili oil and a honey sauce. This dish was just ok as I felt the sauces should have been a bit more flavorful. The fish tacos however were bright, colorful and tasty. My other half isn't huge on fish but I love all things seasfood. These were light and not overly fishy. We both enjoyed the dish. For mains we ordered: Brewhouse Chicken Sandwich with a Poutine My other half had the chicken sandwich and I didn't bother to have a bite, as I was focused on my Brisket Mac and Cheese He said the sandwich was good but just ok. We had upgraded to a poutine for $5.49 and were disappointed in the poutine that arrived. It was cute in the bucket but shoestring fries and a small amount of gravy / cheese. Boneshaker Brisket Mac & Cheese. This dish was an absolute 10/10. Those spiral noodles (cavatappi or cellentani) soaked up all the boneshaker cheese sauce. The brisket was tender and it had a nice smoky BBQ sauce on it. This dish is pricier coming in at $26.99. It's a definite must order though! I couldn't believe how cheesy it was. We love Amsterdam Beers and keep a large supply of them in our beer fridges. I however went with a Peachy Keen Margarita and my other half went with the 20oz Neon Haze on draft. Beers come in two prices $9.99 or $11.99 depending on size chosen. The food was plated beautifully and the drinks were cold and refreshing. The view is absolutely unmatched. Food came out extremely quickly which I didn't expect, especially with how busy they were. I'm taking a star away because as much as I loved the experience, I wanted more wow factor for the food. Would I come back ? 100%. I'll definitely try some of the other menu offerings. If you're in the area definitely check them out 2 appetizers, 2 mains and 3 drinks came to $160 + tip. So, this is definitely on the pricier side for a date night out . read more

(Drank 09/03/25 WE @ 3:45pm): Damn... the brews at this house were good! Amsterdam BrewHouse was the third brewery on this Toronto trip and the second of the day. I still had some room in the tank for more brews, and I was mainly walking all day, so the beer wasn't hanging around inside my body. Toronto's original craft brewpub was founded by a Dutch ex-pat in 1986 on John St. (Amsterdam Brasserie). The combination of good people, good ideas, and good beer has brought them to where they are today. Would anyone have to twist my arm to return to this damn brew house!? PURCHASE(S) Amsterdam Brewhouse Space Invader IPA Beer 6.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($9.99CAD): Golden amber color, subtle citrusy hoppy tropical aroma, low body, subtle citrusy hoppy tropical flavor, clean smooth finish, and subtle citrusy hoppy tropical aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=qoUglIbsLBDq9OJWvTMPLQ 6pc Single Order Chicken Wings w/Chili Garlic Crisp ($20.99CAD): Meaty and messing, these were finger-licking good with a ton of garlicky spiciness. The veggie sticks were kind of useless. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=B1GUmYd_aEVw46ZKfbqCdQ Amsterdam Brewhouse Adventure Brews Pineapple Sour Beer 4.5% ABV 16floz Draft ($10.99CAD): Golden amber color, fruity pineapple tropical aroma, low body, fruity pineapple sour tropical flavor, tart finish, and fruity pineapple tart tropical aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=HYvfnOouUU1ZbWr88CNogw Stickers ($0.88CAD x3): I loved stickers and enjoyed placing them at other breweries to spread the love. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=w_iG1QM2g0p-Hu61EFIbFg SERVICE I was gleefully greeted by a young hostess inside who then directed me outside for the waterfront bar, where I was then warmly greeted by a young female bartender who gave me a rundown of their beers. The beers I ordered arrived immediately, the food took barely five minutes, and we chit-chatted the entire time I was there. Everything was awesome and chill - thank you! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): It was about a 15-minute walk from Steam Whistle Brewing. Otherwise, parking was available under the nearby Radisson Admiral Harbourfront Hotel, in a surface lot around the corner on Rees Street, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A large 14,000sqft building with a separate room https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=qE25GnJ8y436GMJja2uX_A for merchandise and to-go beers, a spacious main bar and dining room with wall-to-wall places to sit, and the outside bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=eC8G71CpEyV24c8zXnHMxw and patio along the waterfront where I sat. With high rafter ceilings, space for live entertainment, and minimal decorations, this place was happening! Plenty of natural lighting inside entered through the many surrounding windows and of course a ton outside while many electric ceiling lights filled in both areas. There were so many TVs both inside and outside while I couldn't recall any background music because chatter was everywhere. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=uYoF5zBOILtfr6VOXa-GSg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I had an awesome time at Amsterdam BrewHouse and would definitely return. The beers were very tasty albeit limited in availability https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=NQmlsskC4VRWTctBRtfhpA (ten on this visit). The prices were very comparable, the food was yummy, they offered beer flights https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=L58f7RF2Agk9UK0AmDGEgA if you wanted to explore. The service was charming, and I believed pets were allowed on the outdoor patio. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $49.00CAD BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

We were in town for a Blue Jays game a few weeks ago and had no idea where we should go eat after. We found this place was in walking distance so we took a walk over, seemed busy but there was only 2 of us so we were seated quickly. The food and service were fabulous! The atmosphere was really cool too! We will definitely be back when we visit next! read more

We had lunch here while touring around the waterfront area. We were really happy to be seated on the upstairs patio which was in the shade, quiet, and had a nice view of the water and airport. I had the "Hoppy Flight" of their house beers which was excellent. The smokehouse burger was good, and the onion ring was a nice touch. This was definitely a solid, tasty burger. The fries were crispy and fresh. Definitely a nice option for pub food and beer with a lovely view. read more

Ambiance and vibe of this place is off the charts!!! So fun, patio area in September was BEAUTIFUL, and the inside was immaculate! Such a big space. Service was pretty quick for how packed they were post blue jays game, and after getting my spicy beef bowl with only 1.5 pieces of beef, they brought me out an extra side of beef at no extra charge. Food was good - I would not say it was great or anything in rushing to order again, but it was good. Beer list was great and we really liked the Mexican lager! read more

The food was very mediocre. Our group got a variety of entrees and we unanimously agreed that all the dishes had too much of a lime flavour. The guac was very lime forward, and so was the southwest chicken bowl. Do not sub out the beef brisket for a veggie patty for their burger option because it will be very dry and you will hate it. Not even hot sauce could save the terrible texture and bland taste. They use a bun that would be better fitted for a sandwich than a burger. I added a hot honey drizzle to the pizza and it was not hot honeying like other hot honeys that I've had. That was a definite waste of money. You can't really expect them to make good pizza, but at their price, I'd rather go to an Italian restaurant and pay a little more for a much better pizza. The beer flights were good. Before coming here, we knew that it was a brew house and did not have a lot of expectation for food, but the food ended up being even more disappointing and underwhelming. Its got a lot of space and is right by the water which is a nice add to the vibe for when you get together with friends. There are large tables available for parties and smaller tables and high tops as well as a patio area. read more

I had passed by here yesterday and saw a couple sitting on a bench overlooking the water and I thought what a perfect seat. We came back to try this restaurant and they sat us at the exact same seat that I saw that couple. It was such an enjoyable way to spend our afternoon. We ordered a beer and a lobster roll. We split the lobster roll and I couldn't decide on a beer so the nice server gave me four different tastes. I decided on the Mexican Style special beer. Everything was wonderful. It was a great place to relax and enjoy food and view. read more

We were invited to a vendor event hosted here, and it was a great time. The drinks, the views and everything was spot on.

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish! From the moment we walked in, Caris, the hostess and greeter, made us feel genuinely welcome. Her warm smile, professionalism, and positive energy immediately set the tone for a wonderful experience. First impressions matter, and she absolutely nailed it. Olivia, our server, was outstanding. She was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and incredibly personable. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Her service truly elevated the entire experience. I also want to recognize Alex, the manager on duty, who was visible, engaged, and clearly committed to ensuring guests were well taken care of. It's always impressive to see leadership actively involved, and it speaks volumes about the team's overall excellence. This team works seamlessly together, and it shows. Exceptional hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail all around. I highly recommend and will absolutely be returning! read more

Stopped for a quick lunch at the Amsterdam Brewhouse, at the recommendation of our friend we were staying with. Being right on the water, it's probably a very pretty place to eat/drink on a nice day, but unfortunately we were looking at an overcast day with spotty rain We arrived for a later lunch, and were asked if we had reservations, which was a bit surprising, not being during a lunch rush, but we were seated. It's a very large space, a bit misleading from the outside. The interior is decorated with some very unique art, and creations, lots to look at as well made our way to the table. The server took a bit to come by the table and seemed a bit unenthusiastic to see us. We placed an order and split the "Hoppy" flight of beers, and a burger as neither of us were too hungry at the time, but wanted tot try the local flavors. Food came out decently quick, they even cut the burger in half for us and brought small plates. The food was ok, but again, the server rarely checked on us. We did notice they seemed to have a larger group upstairs, but the attention to the rest of the customers seemed to lack due to that. Overall, food was ok, the burger was a bit crumbly. And the beers were good. Might go back to try other beers, but wouldn't do a burger again, maybe a pizza instead read more

Great vibes! Lots of seating indoor and outdoor. The back patio faces the lake so it's beautiful on a nice sunny day. We had a party of 20 and there was only one waiter that helped. He was quick and really friendly despite it being super busy as it was Father's Day, and Toronto islands was having their dragon boat festival. Unfortunately they were out of the bbq tower, we were all hoping to try it. Instead I got the beef brisket, it was underwhelming unfortunately. It was dry and it didn't feel like it was smoked for 12 hours like it said on the menu. The pizzas were great and the flight was nice! read more

I LIVE HERE IN THE SUMMER! Tiger Thai Curry, Chicken Schnitzel, and the Buffalo Cauliflower are NEXT LEVEL! will be consuming these many a day and watching the JAYS crush this summer! Location is so great on the Toronto waterfront too. Patio gets HOT!!! Not to mention a crazy good beer list and recommendations for pairing with your meal. Bravo! read more

The ambience and view is great. The out door patio seating is highly recommend if the weather is warm and bright. Fish and chips 5/5 Fish is battered nice and thick. The fish itself is moist and not dry at all. The side coleslaw had a mild chipotle spice and complimented the fish. The fries were okay. Chicken sandwich Flavorful and the right size. Not too much, not too little. Fries were alight. Didn't care for the bun, but the chicken itself was great! The pickle sauce and salad paired well with the fried chicken. Service was a bit slow due to the growing crowd. I flagged the waiter down for the bill. Then after waiting for a while my husband had to go up in person to pay the bill. After all, we would hate to be late for the game. read more

I wish I had nice things to say about this. The place was super packed and may have affected the quality of service because we went on New Year's Eve, and even though it was busy, we weren't checked in periodically to see if we needed refills. It actually took us over 30 minutes to get a server to deliver us menus (mind you we had a 2 hour seating limit). The servers and door staff were pretty friendly though! It took another 30 minutes to get our food ordered and it... wasn't that great. I ordered the Korean fried calamari and even though it was good... I felt like it was overpriced for a very small portion. Most of the plate just had picked vegetables (which isn't exactly what I paid for if the main portion if it is supposed to be the calamari advertised) The place is a typical bar and beer house so while I appreciate that they had mock tails on the menu, it's not my scene and I probably won't be back, but if you like views of the lake while having a beer with friends I would only recommend the patio over the summer months. read more

We came here for lunch and sat upstairs outside. Lovely! It took about 15 minutes for a server to come by and even greet us, this is why I give 3 stars. Once greeted, the service was great! The food was delicious, just what I needed. I had the chicken, avocado, & bacon wrap with extra crispy fries. So yum! I also had the lager flight. My favorite was the 3 speed lager. So light and crisp! It's about 90F in Toronto today so that was a necessary refresher. read more

Server brought our drinks and disappeared. Ordered the chicken sandwich it came out quickly, a little too quickly and was ice cold. We did get a new one made but after all that it just wasn't any good. Strange shape with 2 small pieces of chicken that didn't fit the bun and an odd flavor in the breading. The view is great though read more

Service at the bar was great. Selection of beers was good I found a good stout which make me happy. Good was maybe 3 stars. Big cheeseburger, not so big, meat tasted a little old... You know when it's starting to be not so fresh. Not bad, just not good. Caesar salad was stale and wilted. Go there for good beer and service. read more

Amsterdam might have one of the best views of Lake Ontario in the harbor front area. I just wish the service and food matched the ambience. I got the pulled brisket sandwich with french fries. I wasn't particularly impressed with the brisket as it was dry and lacked much flavor. I wish the kitchen would have added more to the sandwich as well. The bread was a cheap white bun that was slightly stale. The french fries were crispy and seasoned well, sadly the best part of the dish. As mentioned above, the interior has a nice ambience to it and there is a large bar area perfect for watching a game. The service was slow and the servers appeared to have too many tables to adequately keep up. Though unimpressed, I would give it another try to see if I caught them on a bad day. read more

I had a good time. I was surprised at how big the place was they even had an upstairs I like that they have flight options so you can try different beers they have two standard ones and then they have a third one which is what they have on tap which is seasonal that's what I decided to go with and the person I was with did one of their standard tastings I visited in winter which is why most of the tap was darker they had a coffee beer option and a dark stout . I didn't love the flavor of the seasonal beers... I did enjoy the Vienna lager! I will say they didn't have me feeling bloated I was surprised that the food tastes really good their hand cut fries are delicious definitely give them a try the salads are good and have large portions as well My friend who tried the regular flight did enjoy theirs so maybe you don't want to take a risk with the seasonal ones.

Disappointed.. First I got the Mac & Cheese but overlooked the fact that it was made with "cheese sauce".. as shown on the menu. I guess I just didn't think it would be so close in texture and flavour to cheese whiz.. I couldn't finish it and my waiter politely brought out a brisket sandwich to replace it since I liked the brisket that was served on top of the Mac & Cheese. The brisket sandwich was decent... about a 6.5/10.. My friend had a burger with "American cheese" and didn't like it either. This place just doesn't serve great food but it's a vibe with friends in a good location with good service. Wouldn't recommend it though. read more

I had a mixed experience. On the plus side... a great location, architecture, and the food and drinks were surprisingly good. I was expecting a tourist trap with lousy food given the location but that was not the case.

Hey folks, a quick note about the washroom: it'd be great if the washroom, especially the ladies', could get some attention in terms of cleanliness. My visit in July left me a bit disappointed as it was quite dirty and the floor was a bit sticky. Put that aside, this spot undeniably holds its own as an iconic location at Toronto Harbour, offering a prime lakeside view. The spacious layout provides a variety of seating options, fitting perfectly to various occasions - be it group gatherings, romantic dates, or simply unwinding during travels. Their "Take a Flight" beer samplers are an absolute hit - three house-brewed beer collections to choose from. Definitely a highlight not to be missed. In terms of food, they offer a commendable variety of options. But considering my restroom encounter, I'm just hoping the same attention extends to the kitchen's cleanliness.
