Great customer service. The food portions are very generous and we love the Moto pizza.

Always great environment. Good food, menu gets a bit too adventurous. Always something to choose from on the tap list even when your favourite is not on. read more

Ambiance was good, a bit crowded but that's to be expected in a ski town. The servers were friendly. Beers were mid. I would recommend their ale. The seasonal Oktoberfest was better than their Belgium on tap. Food was also mid. Nothing mind-blowing (not even the pretzels) but they were decent for the price. read more

A local brewery with a wide selection of beer and food options. Extra star for having a unique flight called the skateboard, which allows you to try every beer on the menu and it comes on a skateboard! We washed all the beer down with some chicken wings and pizza. Out of the two, I would recommend the pizza as I found the chicken wings a little dry. I liked that the pizza was in a Detroit style, and had plenty of toppings. Friendly service and lad back atmosphere. read more

Tuesday evening, and the Northwinds is somewhat busy. I started off with a pint of Pretty River Lager, promptly served by my waitress. After a brief review of the menu, I selected a personal pizza, The Capri. Several meats listed, I'm eager to try it. I'll say, the Capri was delicious! The fresh toppings were amazing, and the sauce exceptional. Calling it a "personal pizza" is a stretch. This could easily serve 2 persons. Overall, the Northwinds was a fantastic experience. Exceptional food, Excellent service. Many thanks to Roxy! read more

Nice looking pub with a cottage kind of feel. There's an open kitchen so you can see and smell the delicious dishes. The Detroit style pizzas look legit. My nephew ordered the skate flight. You get 14 5 oz glasses of beer. I will post updated review once I try the food. I ordered the Hot Honey brisket mac & cheese. My wife got the Halifax Donair. Both were so delicious. Donair meat is a combination of beef and lamb. We also enjoyed the generous serving of beet salad. My mother-in-law got the fish and chips. You get a massive piece of crispy haddock, served with house made tartar sauce, pickle, root slaw, and fresh cut fries. My nephew ordered the wings they were decent size and coated in honey garlic sauce. Overall, nice dining experience and server was friendly and polite. They have a shop where you can purchase their beer, cider, clothing and hats. We liked the seltzer rasbeery yuzu and bought a pack of 6 to go. If you make the trip to Collingwood I recommend coming here for a flight of beers and bar food. Cheers. read more

If you want to dine at a place that has lots of beer options and decent food, look no further! You can see the tanks where they brew their beer from the dining room. I love places that have a kids menu that does not suck. Give me more options than just chicken strips, please. Their kids menu does not suck. Our boys had an excellent deep dish style pizza and fish and chips. The beer pretzels were great, and I got the fish tacos as my main even though it is listed as an appetizer. The tacos and fish portions per taco are huge. All in all, the food is good. You can order a flight of beers if you want to sample multiple and they have other alcoholic options if you are not a beer drinker. The place was busy; a very good sign. read more

Local craft brewery and beer is excellent. Lots of choices too. Checked flag has a coffee taste which is amazingly good. I had the cucumber mojito seltzer and it was so light and tasty. For meals we tried the shaved steak sandwich. The bun was fresh and it was good. It's cold and relies on the gravy to make it hot. The Ceaser salad was outstanding! Lots of garlic and the critics actually have melted cheese on them! We also had the calamari what had also Was delicious. A good night. Check it out! read more

I came here with a large party and called to be added to the wait list on a Saturday evening. The service was excellent. However, the food could have been better. Our party ordered chicken wings, fish, chips, and waffles. Our party felt that the food was bland, except for the fries with the fish and chips. Accessibility: slippery floor and no automatic door. High tables or booths avail. read more

During my trip from Toronto to Blue Mountain, this was a restaurant my boyfriend and I will always remember. 1) Beer Flights 2) Ambience 3) Location (10mins from Blue Mountain Village) - there is a second location in the Village but slightly different menu 4) Beer options 5) FLAVOURFUL FOOD 6) Large Portions 7) Inexpensive 8) Service 9) Vibes and other guests All key elements to our amazing experience here! You get the option to choose what beers you want for the flight. The portions on food are much larger than you expect. The flavour in each dish is phenomenal, and that's what separates them from other places we tried. Open one up in Toronto please! read more

Amazing service and wonderful food. Will most definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful experience

Just finished a long drive from Niagara Falls and the first thing on our mind was BURGERS! We were famished! From our trip last year all we could remember was Northwinds. We checked in on line assuming a 15 minute wait to find out they told us 30. That gave us a few minutes to run some errands and come back. As soon as we returned...our table was ready! We were greeted quickly by our waiter and our meal followed just as fast. From the kids original request for a fast food burger, they commented on how it was the best ever! Juicy and fresh, with the side of fries. They devoured it like they haven't eaten for a month. Even my part vegan wife, turned into a carnivore. She thought the 7oz patty would be too much, but she didn't leave much on her plate. The side salad, instead is fries also had a nice touch. Slivers if apples and cranberries, were perfect! Most times we'll come back to a place expecting the same experience and get disappointed, in this case, it got better. Will we come again....of course we will, when we return for our next summers vacation to the Georgian Bay! read more

Haven't been here for over 5 years and decided to drop in in Family day Monday. We had Citrus Ice Smash burger Chicken wings Irish beef stew Everything is absolutely delicious and service great. Also the way they set up the vibe it's super casual. Feels like I'm seeing an old friend. The only thing I have to say is their seating process. It's a bit strange. We put our name on the wait list and shopped around the areas for a bit as 20 min wait is the perfect time to do that. The 2 of us got seated at this giant table for 8 while there were lots of 2-seaters and 4 seaters available. I asked and the hostess said they've been allocated to other people on the wait list. Strange. Then there's this big group literally standing next to us waiting for a large table while we occupied this table perfect for us, just the 2 of us. They are nice but just hovering over us which they really couldn't help. I offers to move and the waitress said they came in after us so they have to wait for another table. Eventually they weresqueezed to 2 4 seaters. Anyways this isn't a complaint because our experience here it too notch. It's just an observation that with slight tweaks they could move more people through the place. read more

Very tasty burgers and the prices are decent. I tried a bit of the Nashville chicken and the smash burger and both were pleasant. The fish and chips also looked very good. I especially liked how crispy the fries were. They have a faint taste of duck fat without being especially heavy. With a nice cold beer and some vinegar, the fries went down so easy. Will definately be back for a large order of the fries again next time! read more

Went out to eat for Father's Day on our trip to Collingwood and chose this restaurant based on reviews. It didn't disappoint. We had the macaroni and cheese with bratwurst -nice touch with the onion rings w BBQ sauce. I found the bratwurst overcooked but the macaroni so delicious! Then we had the Romeo pizza with so much roasted garlic, sun dried tomatoes, prosciutto and mounds of cheese it was delicious but we could only eat half of it. We had to try both of their desserts which were served warm. Brownie with chocolate ice cream and peach pie with vanilla ice cream. Loved them both! Lyric was our server and she was friendly and proficient in her job. The only thing I wish was that the entree portions were not so large as we are in a hotel. We will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

Worth the trip to this brewhouse if you're visiting up north. There's 2 locations. One at the Blue Mountain Village and the 2nd in Collingwood. We went to the Collingwood one because it looked bigger in the pictures than the other and we needed the space. We had 15 people in our group. We came at the right time too, arrival was at 1130am. Got lucky with the long table near the back and if we were probably 10 mins later we would'hv had to wait. SO GOOD THING FOR GOING EARLY! Service was great. Waitress came by to check on us every so often, replaced new water bottles for us and from what I remembered, our bills were split up correctly and no issues were there. My bf got the fish and chips and it's literally a foot long. I tried a piece - it's ok. The fact that it's a foot long is already a shocker. I got the mac & cheese add bacon. DAMN. GET THIS TO TRY. It was so creamy and had a bit of sweetness to it? because of the bacon. The bacon was out of this world. Sweet bacon and adds soooo much flavour to it. The only thing that I wouldhv like is to replace peas with green onions. That just my preference. Mine comes on a small pan but portions were really big for me. Maybe cuz we were eating early idk? but I had a little more then half to pack away and I ate it for lunch. A few people got drinks, I didn't but I know a few of them came before and liked what they ordered so as for beers/drinks, I can safely say they would recommend it too! read more

Came here for dinner after skiing at the blue mountain with some friends. It is located in a plaza right next to a pizza shop and a nail shop I think with lots of parking spaces. Don't forget to check at the back also. This place is packed with people! We waited about 1/2 hr to be seated. Our server was very attentive. There's many interesting dishes on the menu I'd love to try. My boyfriend and shared a pound of chicken wing with garlic smoky BBQ. The wings are very flavourful and it come with approx. 7-8 wings with a sliced of carrots and blue cheese dip. I had the beef dip ($18) and I must say their portion were VERY decent. The sandwich was at least 12 inches long!! No kidding!! It comes with a dipping sauce and full sized pickles on the side. Having dipping sauce with a sandwich can be a kill messy. Especially, when the sub was loaded with beef, cheese and mushrooms but I guarantee you will not regret ordering it. My bf had the pork Parmesan schnitzel sandwich with fries and gravy ($1). I'd say his sandwich was a bit dry compare to mine. I'm not sure if I like having the tangy taste from the lemon squeezed on the sandwich.. The fries was really good and their gravy was VERY flavourful! Definitely a must order! My friends ordered a Bison burger and a Mac and cheese. They commented that because the bison patty has a lot of sauce in it. They couldn't really taste how it is differ from normal beef. The Mac and cheese didn't have a strong cheesy flavour. We were already very full after we had our main so we didn't get to try anything on their dessert menu but I'd definitely come back when I go back to Collingwood again! read more

Northwinds maybe one of my dream brewpubs if I going to have my own brewery one day. A brewmaster making new and amazing beers every week. A chef that works with local ingredients. A beer store selling beers to the locals. A tasting and drinking bar staffed with knowledgeable bartenders. Fish Tacos ($12) and Beer Sampling for $8/4. A chic and spacious simplistic interior. I just wish it is closer to home. read more

Was in town for the weekend with some family and we decided to check out this local restaurant that's very well known for great food and beer. I ordered the wings (which are fried in duck fat!!) and they were out of this world. Best wings I've ever had. Service was spectacular and very fast. This restaurant is one of the best in Collingwood. They even have a location in Blue Mountain!! Must try this restaurant if you're in the area read more

Nice brew pub! We had this place recommended to us from a very reliable source and they did not disappoint. We tried a variety of the beers brewed here and I have to say each one was good. My favourite was the Red Sunset, earthy and hoppy paired well with the lamb shank special of the day. Staff was excellent. Ambiance true to the northern pub feel with a healthy dose of sports bar. Fun place. Good food, excellent beer. read more

Love this place. Came here on a recommendation and it is St. Patricks. Staff is so friendly. Elisa is the worlds best bartender. The in house beers are all great. Try the Skateboard flight. Beers come on an actual skateboard. Started with the Polenta fries. Very nice idea. Ate the waffles and chicken. I have had this in so many places, Toronto, Montreal, LA, Portland, Vancouver, St John's, Chicago, Boston, New York, Calgary, but I think this may be one of the BEST. Finished with the Whiskey tart. Oh so good, especially with whiskey chasers. Visit this place now. You will not be disappointed. Ask for Elisa. read more

It two attempts to get into this place and I found the hype to be slightly underwhelming. Northwinds has a great selection of beer for any one that enjoys drinking beer they have at least 40 beers on tap with a top 12 list.i hand a flight of beers with the wii Willis as my favorite. The BBQ is a must have. It has a beer sausage, 1/2 rack of ribs, corn, macaroni salad and duck fat fried chicken wings. It is a big enough platter for 2. The best part we definitely the wings. They smelled great and tasted better. I also had the started of the lettuce wrap with seared tuna. It has a Korean sauce with kimchi and panko. Very flavorful but you need to love sushi grade seared tuna to enjoy. Be aware the hot sauce is a scotch bonnet pepper sauce, spicy yet tasty at the same time. The only disappointment was how long you have to wait to get a table despite using the waiting list function with yelp. It took 30-45 mins to get a table read more

We were greeted with an amazingly friendly host who seated us. We got our drinks and were forgotten about for over 20 minutes until the host took our order. We finally got our food (smashed burger and waygu burger) and they were both fantastic. The host followed up with us and cleared our dishes, bill etc. The host and the food really saved the poor wit staff experience. Probably just bad luck we got missed. We would go back for the food. read more

We enjoyed a late (and boozy) lunch here with my fiance, his brother, and his bro's GF. I ended up trying a flight of their beers (I wasn't driving - YAY!) and the rest of the table ordered a pint each. I enjoyed the Brew Mountain, Smash series the best - hoppy and refreshing! We tried their beer pretzels to start - super tasty but our waitress sadly forgot the beer cheese! We didn't realize until we were almost done eating the pretzels - boo. She apologized and brought it out, saying it's really good to eat with fries (it was!). For my main, I tried the falafel veggie burger and it was delicious. Loved how the patty was crispy and all of the toppings were fresh. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well - the boys opted for burgers and my fiance's bro's GF selected the Mexican grilled cheese. Food was on point! Pro tip : this place gets BUSY, so be sure to make a reservation ahead of time! Would return if in the area again! read more

I ordered fish and chips for take out. Fish itself has a medium coat of batter, which I find to be too much and doughy on the inside. and past the batter, was quite bland. The seasoning on the batter was concentrated towards the centre. They either didn't or forgot to include lemon, which I really could have used. Chips are good. Crunchy, soft inside and, not overly salted, which I read from reviews. I didn't finish them because they had soaked up a lot of the oil at the bottom of the take out container. This place has a super neat interior. Very spacious and you can see all the brewing equipment. They have a shop off to the side as well for merchandise and beer to go. I would be willing to give this place a second try for the beer and ambiance. Just probably not for the fish and chips. read more

We have been to Northwinds over a dozen times now, and have NEVER had a bad experience!!!! The atmosphere, the staff, and the food have always been phenomenal!!! The variety and the combinations of seasonings and food the chef (owner) adds to the menu are truly fantastic! The staff there understands customer service, and they go the extra step every time to ensure satisfaction. The brew selection is great and brewed on premises. I have and will continue to recommend this as a compulsory stop if you go to Collingwood or Blue mountain! Ps .... do not even think about leaving there without having the beer pretzels ... best we have ever had!!!! Hands down ... our all time favorite restaurant we have ever been to! read more

I was really glad that we were able to try this microbrewery restaurant out! They had really great choices of food that had gigantic portions! Our server was also really friendly and accommodating during the entire night. Rooster Tale pale ale beer had a light citrus taste to it. It was a huge portion of beer too! The Steak Chili Tostadas had seasoned steak chili, jalapeños, guajillo pepper sauce, sour cream, monterey cheddar cheese blend, cactus salsa verde, shredded lettuce, and cilantro on layers of crispy tortillas. To say this was amazing would be an understatement. I really, really enjoyed this since it was such a monster portion! The food runner informed us to begin eating it by smashing it apart and mixing it together. It was almost like a steak salad. All of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. I ordered the Italian Portobello Burger. We actually wanted to try the Curry Polenta Fries as our side but once I saw that you could choose the polento fries as a side for the burger, this was exactly what I chose instead. This burger had a crispy fried marinated portobello mushroom cap, melted fresh mozzarella, garlic aioli, cured tomato wedges, fresh basil, and arugula on an egg bun. The portobello mushroom cap was so juicy underneath the crispy fried batter. The cured tomato wedges inside the burger also added for a tangy taste that helped to encourage my appetite too. This was just really good! The crispy fried curry polenta fries were served with spicy nduja dipping sauce. I really like trying polenta fries and these came hot and fresh out of the fryer. The dipping sauce was told to have some sausage pieces in it too. I enjoyed it. There was a dinner special that night and K chose that. He got the Tandoori BBQ 1/2 Chicken which had brined Ontario half chicken grilled with tandoori BBQ sauce, served on top of creamed corn mash potatoes, and a side of crispy fried cauliflower. The grilled half chicken was extremely moist and tender and I liked the BBQ sauce too. The corn mash potatoes were yummy and the crispy fried cauliflower was a great addition too. Everything was so filling -- the appetizer portion could have easily be a main course -- that we couldn't finish everything on our plates. Northwinds was a really nice place for dinner. We faced the gigantic brewing containers too and a lot of people were just drinking at the bar. read more

We got 3 of the beer flights to try most of the beers they have. I personally like the hacky sack the most which is like a radler. The waitress we had also gave us some recommendations as to what places to visit since we're from toronto, which was very nice of her. I'd give this place a 5 but there are so many damn flies here for some reason. I went to both locations, the one at blue mountain and in collingwood and they both have the same problem. We were trying to enjoy ourselves but we were occupied swatting damn flies away. read more

We were in town for just one night, and this place was recommended by our host. It didn't disappoint! The place was packed on a Saturday night but the service was incredible. My boyfriend tried a few different beers and liked them all, but I was in a wine mood and the Malbec was great. The food was EXCELLENT. Kale caesar salad was phenomenal with polenta croutons, and it seemed to be on a bed of tomato sauce (?) which was amazing. My boyfriend said the fish and chips were the best he's ever had. Highly, highly recommended! Oh, and we got some beer to go: a good call. read more
