I've tried pretty much every beer Muskoka Brewery has available in stores and have always been a…read morebig fan, especially the Muskoka Cream Ale and Pineapple Ninja Wheat, so we were really excited to finally visit the brewery itself. This is such a cool, relaxed place. We absolutely loved the atmosphere, both inside and outside, and I especially appreciate how dog-friendly it is. Our pups were more than welcome, which always earns bonus points from us! The patio is super chill and has some fun extras like bocce and even a little food truck, although unfortunately the food truck was closed because of the weather during our visit. The staff were also really friendly and welcoming. I ended up getting a pint of their Hibiscus IPA, which is their summer specialty beer, and it was fantastic! Really tasty and refreshing. My only disappointment was that there weren't more specialty beers available to try. Since I've already had most of their regular beers from stores, I was hoping to find several unique taproom-only or seasonal options, but the Hibiscus IPA was the only one available that I hadn't already tried. My wife went with a flight of seltzers, and unfortunately, we weren't huge fans of those. I'm not sure if they were just a little flat during our visit or if that's how they're supposed to taste, but they came across more like mildly flavoured water to us. We'd definitely recommend sticking with the beers! Overall, though, this is a great spot and a must-visit, especially if you've never tried Muskoka Brewery's beers before. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, dog-friendly spaces, and some excellent beer. We'll definitely be back!

Gord and I had three meals this week at Clear Lake Brewing Co. in Torrance, ON (in Muskoka). We…read morewere staying across the street at the Muskoka BeerSpa, which owns the restaurant/brewery. They brew their beer onsite and you can buy beer and souvenirs to take home. Monday - lunch I liked their honey cream ale. Gord had a Caesar wrap and fries. I had the burger and fries special (for $15). Both were good. Abby was our server and she friendly and chatty and took good care of us. Tuesday - supper That night the special was $18 for a pint and a pound of chicken wings so that's what Gord and I had. His were battered and mine were battered and then tossed in medium sauce. Yum! Leah was our friendly and chatty server. Wednesday - supper When we went for supper, it was jammed inside so we ate outside in the "beer garden". I had the steak and frites special ($25). I'd ask for medium and the steak was well-done but happily still tender. The fries were overdone. Gord had a club sandwich and said it was good. His fries were overdone too. Cam Galloway entertained in the "beer garden" and was really good.

I started with some nachos that had multiple layers of cheese. Thank you very much. The ceviche was delicious. The tacos don't come individually so hard spot to go solo. They come in a deconstructed state with meat and all the toppings on the side. You assemble them yourself and make them how you like. One plate made 6 decent size tacos. As usual the service was fast and super friendly. The room stayed the same with a casual ambiance. Well done!!

I've been here numerous times now, always for their half price tapas or other specials which makes…read morethe price more accessible and very worth it. By now we've tried most of the menu but the favourites are the mushroom manchego grilled cheese and the duck. Some items are rotating, which is a nice way to try new items. I did find that in the early years there was some inconsistency with the portion size or plating (I remember this especially for the octopus) but I'm sure as years pass this has been ironed out. I also really like their bread with various canned seafoods. There's a pretty extensive drinks list, and a little market area yo purchase items to go. All in all a nice spot to meet with friends or have a date. There aren't too many seats so if they are busy it may be hard to get seating.

Loved visiting this little brewery…read more Live music on the patio! Beer flights and cocktails. Good food! What is not to like. They have their own little parking lot that is limited but less then a 3 minute walk is a paid parking lot so don't worry about not finding a spot to park, it will be okay. The charcuterie blew me away! A lot of local meats and cheeses. Delicious pickled items and some candied pecans.

The service was a bit slow in the beginning, we had to wait a while to place our orders. But we had no issues after that and the staff was friendly. The menu consists of what you would expect from a pub. We ordered breaded mushrooms to start and they came out really hot! They were okay but we probably wouldn't order them next time. I ordered the gar par chicken wings. We enjoyed our meals and were definitely full afterwards.

Hands down one of the best coffee shops I've visited - period…read more Warm, cozy, and damn knowledgeable about the drinks they serve. All the skill and flavor of some of the finest third wave coffee shops anywhere in the world, but without the sterility and over designed interior that comes along with that style of coffee place. Reminded me of many of my favorite local college town coffee spots in the 90's coffee movement - just with far better coffee. I was traveling in Orilia from the US, and never expected to find my new favorite coffee spot tucked into a quiet neighborhood. The Matcha Latte my wife order was also incredible, on par with many of the better ones she recently had in Tokyo.
