My friends and I stopped here for some drinks on our way back from Muskoka. You can't miss it as there is a massive Muskoka chair out in front. Great place to climb up and take photos! There is a small shop in the front that sells some of the beer and other small items. Right behind that is the bar. It's pretty big and they have pretty unique beers (unfortunately the Cock Puncher was sold out..and yes that is a name of the beer). This is a great place to try something new and something local. The staff are really friendly and will help with suggestions. There is plenty of seating and they even have a few board games. I really wish this was closer to the city as this is a great spot to meet up with friends and just chill.

Stopped in for beer on my way to Bala. Easy to find since there's a giant yellow Muskoka chair in the parking lot. Nice big bottle shop with swag and a very organized beer fridge. They had plenty of each type of beer they brew. Behind the counter was a wall of awards they've won. Pretty impressive. Service was great. There was only one person working in the bottle shop when i was there and she kept the beer fridge full without customers waiting. I didn't get a change to hang out at the bar area, but it was busy, so it must be good!

You won't miss Sawdust City Brewery while driving along Muskoka Road, just look for the Mega sized muskoka chair! Friendly and causal vibe. Great place to enjoy a pint or a sampler with friends. Choice on taps are always changing. I like how you can do a your own choice flight of any 5 flight. A chance for me to try out some high ABV beers that I would not be ordering usually. There is no table service, so just order from the friendly bartender. After sampling some beers, one can also pick up bottles from the shop. Most of their logo related merchandise is reasonably priced. A must visit if you love beers and in the Muskoka area!

Came here as a pitstop when coming down from the cottage. Came with two pets, and went to several.ppaces that said they were "pet friendly" but turned out not too be We found this to be pet friendly! Good thing is attached to a Patio and had a food truck that served food. Food there was alright. Large portion and the burger was good.

Good food, atmosphere, service and beer. We got the tater tots beef brisket poutine, and the lone pine IPA was good, but really all their beer was good.

Pulled pork or Korean BBQ? Hard to decide.

Great spot to try a few local brews and savour the selection. The sample flights are popular and a great way to find your favourite. I like the growlers and just have to remember to bring them with me to refill! Hungry? The food truck is awesome. Order, pay and they delivery to your bar stool inside. Both the pulled pork and Korean BBQ beef sandwiches are awesome. Once you have both it will be hard to decide what to have next. Check ahead of time to make sure on the food truck hours. Worth stopping and spending sometime at this spot.

Great place! Nice music! Free wifi! Good air ventilation. Nice bar. Plenty of variety to choose from.

Spectacular brewpub offering a bewildering variety of rotational beers and experimental brews. Excellent food truck out front specializing in Canadian-Korean fusion, complete with bulgogi or smoked trout poutine. We were fortunate enough to capitalize on some excellent seasonals including a collaboration special with a Bracebridge brewery, Little Norway pale ale dedicated to a World War allegiance, and a Berliner Weiss (a tough beer to find). Favourites include the Gateway Kolsch and Ol Woody Alt. For something interesting, try mixing their Skinny Dipping Stout with their cranberry barrel aged ale.

Nice atmosphere, but lacking in quality beer. Wish they offered some of Muskoka Brewery's fine beers.

Very tasty cream ale. Fun place with lots of outdoor seating in really pretty country. Would go…read moreback again when I have more time and people with me. The fire pits look great. Lots of cool merch, too.

On our way back from a Muskoka getaway, we made a split-second highway exit kind of decision to…read morestop in here - and it was meant to be. Friday afternoon, approaching 4pm, we parked in the large lot, and had a refreshing sample of Wandr (non-alcoholic sparkling tea beverage) on the way into the main entrance. A brewery tour was just beginning, so we were gratefully whisked into the cool production area behind the shoppe with James, a home-brew maker, beer enthusiast and clear fan of Muskoka Brewery. Tour details: It costs just $5 for about 40 minutes to tour the production site with interesting and surprising details of how this became one of Canada's favourite breweries. No long boring lists of facts and figures. Photos are encouraged, and you'll emerge back into the brew shoppe with a free frosty cold can of the beer that started it all: Muskoka Brewery Cream Ale. Once back in the retail area, you'll find t-shirts, hoodies and hats with the cool northern vibe, and sample anything on the menu. We tried (then bought) gin, Wandr (Lemonade Lemongrass!) and several different craft beers. Though we didn't stay to dine on the large covered patio, we could hear the live music while we shopped, and were surprised at how genuinely helpful and friendly every staff member was. If you want to chill out and enjoy good beverages in a laid-back, woodsy yet polished Canadian vibe - this is worth the drive.
