This is a consistent spot for beers and cider. They have a rotating selection on tap and a very well stocked fridge for take away cans. I don't drink beer anymore, but have had their brews in the past and always been happy. The serve Pommies cider in a tall can. Not a ton of seating, but a cozy atmosphere with a small outdoor area. Tuesday nights are trivia night and apparently a local favourite. read more

Nice small brewpub with a good selection of beers. I liked the UTE German lager and the PBRR Peanut butter ale which were both excellent. They have Trivia on Tuesdays, but you need to reserve a table on Eventbrite as the bar is so small. We didn't try the food but they are doing Baos and Curry bowls in combination with MEAN BAO, a Toronto chain. read more

Amazing service from Ashley! It was a great place for me and my friends to stop in on my trip to Toronto :)

Gord and I had supper this evening at Radical Road (on Queen Street E/Jones Avenue). They have been around for about three years and it's the first time we've checked it out. They brew beer onsite and you can buy some to go. My Slingshot was tasty! Gord and I split an order of pretzels. They were soooo good! The pretzels were hot and soft ... the beer cheese and grainy mustard were tasty. We'd get this again. We also ordered wings. Gord got his plain and I got mine with Buffalo sauce. They were good too ... very tender and my sauce was good. We'd get these again. Rachel and Slash were our servers. They were friendly and chatty. We'll be back! read more

Nice small brewpub. Chill atmosphere, friendly staff, good beer, and terrific baos! Great place for an early drink. I imagine it gets quite crowded later in the evening. read more

#pandemicreview This place is open for business with Plexiglas barrier and employees wearing the proper PPE gear. The heat wave has made me thirsty so I figure it's time to stretch my legs in the neighbourhood and find some tasty brews. I walked into Radical Road and was greeted with a cheerful hello. I only intended to buy a few beers but ended up taking home one of every kind of beer they had including some new additions that weren't advertised on their website yet (hint: they're delicious!). I have always enjoyed their Yuzu citrus beer and the new Funk & Sour series definitely hits me with flavours of passion fruit and other tropical sours. Thanks Radical Road for the great summer beers! read more

Very tasty beer at this very small brewery. They basically converted a small restaurant space into a long cooper topped bar space with a few tables scattered around. The "Brewhouse" is visible through a glass wall and it has a few small batch pots and a small kitchen. Super cool vibe with classic rock playing in the background. It's dimly lit so the copper bar top really pops. I had a flight with some spectacular choices: Yuza Pale Ale, 8 Track IPA, Django Dopplebock and Sea Monster Porter. All the beers were fabulous examples with tons of flavour. I sampled the Straight Up Sour with Blackberry, oh yeah! read more

Radical Road Brewing - Pale ale, IPA, Dooplebock and Porter - Breweries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Small craft brewery/bar in Leslieville (I think that's the neighbourhood) that serves a limited menu and a tiny list of good beers. I had the St. Arnold (Blond) and the 1847 (Red). Add a Brunette and it would have been interesting... :)) The server was quick, I swear that she was psychic and pre-poured our beer and had it behind her back as we ordered. No sooner did I say the beer did a finely poured amber nectar in a glass show up in front of me - better a bottle in front of me than the frontal lobotomy! Snacked on the kettle chips and a hot pretzel...yummmmm! The bar itself has limited seating at the bar and a few tables. A nice neighbourhood hangout and it would be a RAD place to hang out and become the NORM there...! Figure that one out. Cheers! read more

Another summer weekend... another microbrewery to check out. This one is further out east and looks like just a regular bar but it is a great spot that has a cute little sidewalk spot to sit and enjoy the sun. I love local business and Radical Road fits into this so nicely. It's found in Leslieville and unlike some other breweries, it does more than IPAs! I know thats the trend but there are some people who like a beer to taste like... a beer! The spot isn't too big but enough where you can fit a group of 4 on the sidewalk, at least 8 people along the bar and more table seating in the back. The atmosphere is great... lots of amazing pieces that are eye catching and bringing in an antique industrial vibe to the spot. Service here is just super friendly. I cant ask for better service either... completely knowledgeable about every beer they brew, anyone here can help you find the one that would be your perfect pour. For the ones I tried in a flight, I have to say they're inventive. With options like Cucumber mint (yes you heard that right), Yuzu, and Peredition (chocolate milk stout), you will find a lot of different flavours beyond your hopping standards. Another great thing about trying the flights, they offer a lot of the beer in cans at prices that are super reasonable. It seemed to be a hit that got tons of locals coming in to grab 12 cans to go somewhere for a bbq. Cucumber Mint Kolsch - This is for those who dont like the traditional hoppy beer but love a refreshing summer drink. It does have a cucumber light flavour ... didn't taste the mint so much. Really easy to drink. Yuzu Pale Ale - Of the beer we tried, this was a zestier take than everything else. I would say the citrus flavour is a bit muted compared to other ones in Toronto but definitely another easy summer patio beer to those who are looking for a good refreshing lemon note to their beer. Genesis West Coast Tripel - A more traditional flavour as it has a rounded hoppy note that is prominent. Still quite light in flavour so it appeals to all those who are in the IPA bandwagon. I found this one to have a bit of a sweeter note than your usual IPA... they describe it as being fruity so I can see where it came from. Honestly a great local spot for those in Leslieville. Definitely the spot to be at because we never saw the place empty... always filled with locals and chatting with the really service. read more

Love this brewery! It's a bit of a trek to get to, but so worth it. A cozy place with low lighting, it has both table and bar seating. Not great for large groups because it gets pretty busy and it's not a large space. Service is great. They truly love what they do. When I asked questions, our beer slinger told me his opinion as well as what customers thought. Great snacks too. The hummus platter is very out of proportion....TONS of hummus! Beers are pretty good as well! I look forward to another visit! read more

Great decor, and something coming out of the kitchen. Unfortunately we weren't there for food. Picked up 2 types of beer to try and chatted with the waiter. Would I return? Yes Would I recommend? Yes read more

What a great little place this is. Excellent brews to choose from, Great eats to enable you to taste more of the beers and impeccable service from the staff. The gentlemen that was holding down the fort seemed like an honest, fun and approachable dude. I had a great few conversations with him from gaming to tattoos and folk lore. The people that frequent this place were an great eclectic bunch. My party had struck up various conversations with 3 different group that were sitting beside us. YES DON'T JUDGE US, We may have stayed here for a while, almost 5 hours actually ahaha. Do yourselves a favor and drop by this place. Also might be a good idea to follow them on IG as they post events they maybe having including Whiskey Wednesdays....That makes me tear up just a lil bit lol. read more

Beers and sharable bites from a microbrewery - satisfies all the requirements to be in Leslieville. Walking in, it's an inviting bar with their brewery in the back. They have seasonal beers and as soon as I saw cucumber mint I was sold. Came here on a Saturday afternoon with my partner, looking for something casual. There was sprobably only another party in the place, with some families outside on the small patio out front. Beer Flights ($10-12): Slingshot, St Augustine, Shoreline, and Cucumber Mint. Strong ales are my favourite, having more of a punch to really get my night started. The Cucumber Mint was super refreshing and you can really taste the crispness in the drink. Mini Smoked Salmon and Salt Cod Cakes ($16): Decent, crispy fish cakes with a light cream beneath. Personally, it wasn't worth it for the price of 6 small coin-sized pieces and it was pretty flavour less. This is where they lose the stars for me. The service was great - super helpful and nice even when they did forget our water (small little detail though!). read more

Small but seemingly popular brewpub. We were looking forward to trying this place, but left somewhat disappointed. It's very dark inside, and the service leaves something to be desired. Beers were a bit overpriced and unimpressive. We did not try the food here... read more

They are really known for their beers. We ordered a flight to try and we liked the Yuzu and the Cucumber Mint beer the best. I highly recommending getting those two. We ordered the Jerk Pork Tacos (our favourite), Beef Wraps, and Crispy Chicken Tacos. The beef wraps had slices of beef and it was cooked medium rare but very chewy. The two tacos were really good but we liked the Jerk Pork the best because of how the flavours fit together. read more

Hereabouts is a Queen East storefront microbrewery way close to home. The pub itself has a great classy intimate neighbourhood vibe, and the service even more so great. It practically feels like a tight living room. They squeezed in a tiny street patio, and there's hardly much room for a big party with only a couple tables, but the bar's really where you want to be. You can't really see the in-house brewing operations which is buried behind the kitchen and also a windowed room downstairs (I believe the bulk of their operations is off-site tho), but wait until you open your mouth. They have a full stocked bar, though you're likely here for their own suds, right? Besides their crispy signature SlingShot (available in cans at many LCBOs) and the interesting and highly recommended-by-me, amazing Yuzu PA (punchy citrusy flavour made with imported Japanese yuzu juice; also available canned at many LCBOs), they have a constantly rotating lineup of other tasty interesting, out-of-this-world in-house products on tap. They offer tasting flights of any 4 beers for something like I think, $10 or $12? Food-wise, the brewpub has a tiny menu of fine cooked grub that seems to change often. Someone beside me had a massive Shepard's pie that smelled amazing, but I simply snacked on the kettle chips ($5) with my many beers, and those were a fistful of well-seasoned fried yum. If all you want is drinks to take home, the "bottle shop" is really just a vintage fridge right next to the window. 8-Track IPA in stubbies--we go way back.

For now a mini-review. We had a Radical Road IPA at The Local that we really liked a month or so ago and since then we have been curious about visiting. It was a hot afternoon and we cycled over to check it out. The place is a cute classic bar but we sat outside in the heat. There are just a few seats squeezed onto the sidewalk out front but it's a nice spot to soak up the street scene. We revisited the IPA and had another style (which I cannot remember right now). It was a quick visit and we were soon hydrated and off to continue our ride. Looking forward to a return visit and enjoying the interior. read more

Love the down home vibe of this small brewer in Leslieville. If the weather permits, enjoy your beers on the sidewalk patio. Great range of brews here, without being overly pretentious. Special shout out to the Yuzu Pale Ale, which perfectly fuses the juicy tartness of yuzu with a highly drinkable pale ale. read more

Cute little bar/brewery. Very open concept you can see into the kitchen. There are few tables mostly accommodating 2-4 people but migt be able to do up to 6. The bar stools looked super comfy. Beer selection included a variety of styles; Belgian, pale ale, ipa and stout. These git a offer flights which include your choice of 4 beers on the menue (taste size) The service was friendly. Overall its pretty good Toronto craft beer. There was also a food menu which we did not take advantage of this time read more

One of the few reasonable places on Uber eats to buy alcohol from! Not insanely overpriced like other establishments which is extremely appreciated! Would appreciate a large wine selection to accompany my order! The yuzu beer was delicious, highly recommend read more

I stopped into Radical Road impulsively when in the east end and I'm glad I did! Previously, I had only really been introduced to their Yuzu Pale Ale which is available in some LCBO's, and admittedly I wasn't the hugest fan of it. However upon visiting their tap room, I'm much more impressed with things. In fact, despite hitting a few East end breweries during the day, this was my favourite stop. The tap room is cozy and laid back. Bartender was friendly, and a Weezer megamix on the house stereo was a nice bonus. Beer wise, they had about 6 beers on tap (oddly enough, not including the aforementioned Yuzu), hitting a variety of styles and they were all pretty darn tasty and easy drinking. Specifically, their Key Lime Gose was incredible! Salty and sour like a good gose should be, but the lime notes really rounded it out wonderfully. My only disappointment was in not being able to take any to go with me, but that's Ontario's bottle shop laws not being allowed to sell beer after 11pm that hurt me there, nothing per Radical Roads doing. A fully recommendable stop for any east end beer explorers! read more

They are now shipping something call "EZ" marketed as a hang over cure with orders. The legal print on the container is so small it can barely be read unless with magnifying technologies like zooming in while using the camera on your phone. It can not be read with a normal human eye. This substance should not be consumed by anyone until reviewed by health Canada. read more

Came in from LA and a few locals recommend this place. Food was amazing and tasted homemade fresh. To drink the husband and I tried the Pommes Cider and Cucumber Mint Kolsch. Very mild and tasty. Also tried the Caribbean Curried Vegetable Roti and Spicy Pan Fried Squid. Very good! read more

This place is awesome. Went here with a groupon that included a couple of flights (choice of 4 small beers) and a tour. Owner was super friendly and showed us the process. All the beers were excellent and quite varied. We really liked the slingshot, which we were told you can get at many LCBO's. We also ordered the pretzel which was fantastic. Came with a couple delicious dipping sauces (one dijon-based the other cheese-based). Really hit the spot with the beers. The service was excellent overall to and the place has a nice vibe. Will definitely be back. read more

They have completely nailed all elements. The atmosphere was lively considering the small size with not an empty seat in the house. It was probably the best beer, averaged across all types, that I've had at any microbrew restaurant and I've tried more than I'm proud of. The saison was incredible. Don't let the small kitchen fool you, the food was also great. It's not an extensive menu but everything on it sounds good from lamb ribs to braised beef. I had the braised beef and it was a very tender large boneless piece served over some very cheesy Mac & cheese and with a side of some delicious sauteed leafy green. It was a lot of value for $19. Seating could be tough if you're with a large party but we were good with 4. I highly recommend this place and will be back! read more

We came into this place yesterday with a large group and pretty much tried everything on the beer and food menu. Amazing! Leslieville is lucky to have such a sweet little spot open up that serves great beer and food. It's a little tight for space so you might not get a table right away but that just shows you how well they are doing and for good reason. My only complaint is I wish the wings were slightly bigger and crispier because they are so good I could three orders to myself. Service was awesome and the owners are solid people! read more

Nice spot to enjoy a cold one. Bartender kindly let us stay 15 min past close to wrap up and not feel rushed. Wasn't packed. Cucumber beer was definitely different. Lovely ambiance and quality venue. read more

Good choices for food and beer. The food took SO LONG TO COME OUT. We were starving. I don't know if this is a ploy to get you to order more beer, but we had to slow our drinking to wait for the food. The food was really good (I think. sometimes when you're that hungry, ALL food tastes good). The pork quesadilla was steaming hot. The pretzel was good, the side mustard clearly trumping the cheesy sauce. The beer was good, service friendly. I would go back! read more

Amazing new place in Leslieville. Finally a restaurant that is focused on great beer and food that is not trying to be a dark hipster joint. Jerk wings were just the perfect amount of spice and very good flavor. Charcuterie board was delicious with deep fried olives...Homemade spicy mustard was so good! The homemade warm spicy nuts...heaven We then order the gnocchi...so fresh. Loved that it was not cream based sauce and the mix of the corn and mushrooms was a great idea. "Best napkins in the city!" read more

We LOVED the beers here....Yuzu (my fav), Midnight Oil (dark and rich), Slingshot (available at the LCBO along with Yuzu) and Double Speak in my flight. The food was solid. We started with the kettle chips, and had the chicken dumplings and BBQ braised beef for our mains. Everything was very good. Not crazy gourmet, but solid comfort food perfect with the beers. It is not a large space, and the vibe and service are laid back and comfortable. We really enjoyed our evening. read more

Came here last Saturday with a couple friends, before The Hip finale. Pints are $6 a glass, flight of 3 cost $9. Two of us opted for the flight. Beers were great! Unfortunately the Yuzu barrel was dry, so I'll definitely have to try it next time. While enjoying our flight we also had an order of their home made potato chips ($5). Nice and crunchy with a slight seasoning. Great match for the beers. All 3 of us ordered the BBQ braised beef ($19). It fell apart with a fork and was delicious. The beef sat atop a bed of mac n cheese, which was creamy smooth and cheesy. Also on the plate were some greens to balance out the plate. Oh, and a home made cornbread muffin. Finished off with some peach cobbler served in a jam jar($7). Big slices of caramelized peaches with a crunchy crumble and fresh whipped cream. It was devine! It's a small joint with only 4-5 tables and room for 5-6 at the bar. They'll definitely need more space to grow! Service was also fantastic! Friendly and attentive. Great addition to Leslieville! read more
