wide selection of beers, good martinis. Havent tried their food yet. Went on a Thursday night and Saturday night for a few pregame drinks and they did not dissappoint. Bartenders both nights are very friendly and Abby had really good music on Sat night. A chill and nice local pub. read more

If you're looking for a comfy break from modern stiffness, you should go to Stout. They have a great liquor selection with an old school pub ambiance. The fish and chips won't disappoint (get a side of curry poutine sauce for a nice kick) and neither will the fried chicken sandwich! read more

Great food, great service... first place I had/discovered Innis and Gunn beer. They have games nights.

I went with a group of friends to enjoy the patio. The atmosphere was lively but loud. We all kind of had raspy voices when we left. We ordered and waited over 45 mins for the food to arrive. It was not worth the wait or the money we paid for it. The staff were friendly but not able to help us get our food faster. One of our friends came 20mins late but got their food within 5-10 mins of ordering, ate and finished their food while the rest of us sat there still waiting for our food to arrive. read more

Stout Irish Pub - Stout burger - Irish Pub Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

(Review based on their stout and the general vibe of the pub.) The seating and style was similar to an European style pub. They have a very simple patio style area to enjoy your drink. Tried their stout and radler today. Both were good but since i haven't tried any of these drinks before i can't say if it was better or worse than other brands or crafts. Would recommend this simple pub if you are in the area and want a stout. read more

Friendly service and a great Trivia Night. Reasonably priced food is good and arrives promptly. I like the yummy homemade beers. read more

Meh, we had the fish and chips. and they were kinda yucky. overcooked batter, grey meat (tail pieces) the oil they fried it in was overused and you could taste the 1000 meals fried in it previously. i can't say we were happy with this meal in any way, but we were so darn hungry we ate it. Will we order from this place again? nope... read more

The staff were exceptional and the lighting and fire place really set it off. The menu is filled with Irish dishes. I had the shepherds pie and I was not disappointed. During the summer months I seen the patio in front but never visited and believe me this summer I'll be there. I r commend this place to all people not just the Irish. read more

Had the burger which was great quality and very filling. French fries were good as well The beer selection is large and it's nice to see uncommon beers on tap. But the cheapest beer is 8.25 which kinda sucks All and all a good restaurant. Service a tad slow, one guy had to serve many tables so felt bad for him. Not his fault should have been more staff read more

I really don't know what to expect! My Yelp Friend kept asking are there no Pub along Yonge Street or Church.... Why I am dragging him through the dark streets and alleys all the way to here... to Stout Irish Pub! I love the cozy atmosphere of Stout, especially with the warm glowing fire place. And those huge armchairs, I can sink it to one of them and let them swallow me... Extensive Beer Selections with some seasonal choices. I should have got the taster option... maybe next time. Big TVs showing The Detroit Game made my friend happy and relax or maybe he was watching the live show perform by those lovebirds close to us... While I drink my beer and daydream... Services though friendly but was a little slow at time. It took forever to get the bill and then to pay it with my credit card. I will definitely be back to Stout again when I am in the area. Beer Tasting next time for sure! read more

Gord and I walked to Cabbagetown and stopped in the Stout Irish Pub for supper. We like pubs and have never been there before (we rarely go to that area). We sat in the bar area The beer menu is quite extensive. It's great because it's all craft beer ... no big name brands. Gord love love loves craft beer so was in heaven! Gord started with The Devil Scotched These Eggs. I had half an egg and it was okay. Gord loves Scotch Eggs and thought this was okay (he wouldn't order them again). Usually the sausage is wrapped around the egg ... with these ones, the eggs were breaded and the sausage was ground into the yolk. He also ordered Mad Mac with bacon. He liked it and would order it again. I ordered roaster wings (with medium sauce) and fries. They were both delicious and I'd order them again. There were eight wings to the 1.2lb order. The wings were huge! The Stout is a fabulous pub and we had a good time there ... too bad it wasn't closer to home. Lance was our server. He was friendly and polite and took good care of us. read more

If you want some comfort food and enjoy some friendly trivia competition, you have to visit Stout. The food is made for sharing, so order some dishes and share with your friends! FOOD Mad Mac $13 (Recommended) - Cheesy goodness on a plate and house-made ketchup? You can't go wrong with this comfort food dish. They prepare this dish with 3 different types of cheeses (Asiago, cheddar, smoked cheddar) and a creamy béchamel sauce. The smokiness of the cheddar really comes through in this dish. However, the star of the dish is the ketchup! It paired so well with the mac and cheese. I don't think I can go back to eating ketchup from a bottle. All restaurants need to make their own ketchup. Classic Perogies $10 (Recommended) - Another simple dish, it was great for sharing with friends. The perogies are bit sized pieces. It paired well with the bacon and caramelized onions, but I wish they served it with some salsa to balance off the creaminess of the sour cream and cheese/potato. SERVICE Quick service - the food came 10 minutes after ordering. The server was attentive and made sure that our water was filled and came back to check up on us throughout the lunch service. ATMOSPHERE Trivia nights (Monday/Tuesday @7:30pm) - it gets busy quickly, be sure to get seats, drinks, and food before Trivia starts @6:30pm. Lovely decor and comfortable lounge chairs. Windows/patios are opened when the weather is nice. read more

My colleagues and I had went for a celebratory dinner at Zakkushi; it was still early so we decided to look around for a place to enjoy a pint. We decided on Stout Irish Pub. From the exterior, this place looks like an average Irish pub. I wasn't expecting much; however, as we walked in and went to the patio ... wow! It was so cute and cozy; the astro-turf was a good touch. I love the ambiance of the outdoor patio. Their drink menu is also quite extensive; it was actually overwhelming because there was so much to choose from. Good for: patio, drinks read more

Stout Irish Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A group of us came here for dinner and trivia after work. I'll say right away that the service was good. If I was only rating service, I'd give this place a pretty good rating because our server was friendly, attentive and made sure to check on us multiple times throughout the night. The food however is another story... we all ordered different dishes and the reviews were very mixed. The chicken sandwich was crispy and tasty, the lamb stew was good, but didn't really taste of lamb. The sheppard's pie lacked flavour and needed way more seasoning, and the chicken tenders were really dry and bland. To make things worse, three of us ordered the ginger ale, and it did NOT taste like ginger ale. It tasted like a fake Pepsi + 7-Up mix and was way too sweet. We asked our server about this, and he assured us that it was ginger ale, but all three of us agreed that this was a ginger ale wannabe, and we were all disappointed. I've visited this place 3 times over the past two years, and 2/3 times I haven't been satisfied with my meal here (I've had the burger which was pretty tasty, and another time I've had fish which tasted off and I had to send it back). The trivia was a lot of fun, and because of this, we will likely be back... just not ordering food. Visit this place on a trivia night for fun times and great service, but unless you're looking for mediocre food, I'd give this place a pass. read more

I had heard good things about this place, so decided to go here with my boyfriend, brother and sister-in-law as it was close to our houses. When I walked in, I was intrigued by the board games they had in the front area and made a mental note to come back to play games some time. We were seated in the back and had a look at the menu. There were some nice hearty dishes on there, and the waiter told us about some tasty specials (including a prime rib meal for only $20). They had quite a large beer selection as well. The problem with the food and beer menu was that they didn't have a number of things on the menu. It wasn't just that they ran out for the night, they no longer served some of the items. If there's a number of items that you don't have on the menu anymore, to me that's a sign to print new menus. Further, my sister-in-law wanted to try one of the specials, but when she ordered we were told that they didn't have any left. We went to dinner between 6 and 7pm, so prime dinner time. We were surprised that they would already have run out of one of their specials. We started off with the nachos to share. It wasn't as large as the nachos you would see at some bars, but it was exactly what we needed. They tasted great, especially with the corriander in the pico de gallo (my fave). When the mains came I was pleased with how big the portions were. There definitely wasn't a shortage of food. I had the chicken pot pie. The pastry was nice and flakey, the the chicken and vegetables inside were in a tasty sauce. My biggest qualm, however, was that it wasn't hot enough for me. It was warm when I first started, but by the time I neared the end, it was cold. I like my food coming out very hot, so that it's still warm when I'm finishing up. The prime rib dinner that my brother had looked really good, and I would probably get that next time. I had my eye on the yorkshire pudding. It was my boyfriend's birthday that weekend so I asked the waiter to bring out a special dessert for him. I was able to choose whatever dessert I wanted to put a candle in, which was nice. They had a berry crumble special, which is what he wanted, so I was happy when they still had some left. The waiter told me that they had run out of one of the other desserts. Overall, I was pleased with my experience at Stout and would go back again. While I think they need to update their menu if they have things that are permanently off of the menu the food was good and reasonably priced. Hopefully next time it'll be a bit hotter. read more

Great bartender on Tuesday July 9, made it a great second experience. The GLB beer was great. Tried my second donair, popular for some and well made. read more

Yeah, this place is a real Irish pub because they do have a massive beer selection, with so many varieties to numerous to even try to name. And it's not as if it's a dozen different types of lagers and pilsners either. They have a genuine variety of all types, including stouts of course and many adventurous offerings. They ensure to have pub favourites on their menu, and even the shepherd's pie was real Irish-style being made with lamb. Being that they are in Cabbagetown, they're naturally going to have more modern options as well, including some vegetarian ones. I split their veggie burger and lamb burger (it may have said something like Greek-style) with a friend. The veggie burger actually comfortably won out, with a tasty well-seasoned black bean patty and fried jalapeño bites in it. i enjoyed the lamb burger, but was still a bit mildly disappointed with it - namely because the lamb was a bit too overcooked. The fries and chips were very good. In spite of the place being packed out (for trivia night) we had great service with a friendly, attentive server who checked in on us regularly. read more

Went during the Cabbagetown festival as the owner gave us some free coupons on the street for small glasses of beer.

Even though I live on Church and Dundas not in Cabbagetown...I have to say my girlfriend and I consider the Stout as our neighborhood pub. An elevated pub fare food with a genuine smile. I had to write a review due to SG's review of The Stout and why these diners glee in trying to hurt a business. A tough business with high cost and low financial returns. Alot of these savy entrepreneurs do what they do day in and day out is because they enjoy bringing joy to others. If your reading this SG... don't criticize what you don't understand and words can be harmful. We are all trying to survive in our chosen path. I like and enjoy my time at the Stout is because the staff makes you feel welcomed and can play board games is an added bonus. Yes, I agree The Irv is nice as well. Supporting your neighborhood businesses is truly a neighborhood "Cheers". Steve the Baker read more

After having dinner at Kanpai just down the street we were looking for a place to have a few beers and Stout was the place. This is one of the few places where the beer menu looks like a food menu and vice versa. The food menu is a smaller black covered thin pamphlet compared to the beer menu which is a full blown, full sized, categorized, organized and graphically engineered piece of art. OK maybe that description is a bit overkill but seriously... the beer menu is serious. It may not be a Community's Annie Edison tabbed binder like what the Bier Markt has but this is actually easier to read and doesn't look like a prospectus and is easily first mistaken as a food menu until you actually look at it / read it. I was able to quickly find my section for pale ales and went for one of my good old Burlington blue chips in a Nickel Brook Headstock. Besides being livley, busy, and generally a happy all around place Stout has a shelf full of help yourself games to play. We sat beside a bunch that was playing Trivial Pursuit while our little group was playing Cards Against Humanity. For a casual time and good all around fun environment which is made even more fun with beer consumption... Stout is a great place to get together and laugh while you let your competitive spirit come through as well. Things got pretty loud but it's all in good fun. Most of it was because the game we were playing was hilarious. read more

Stout Irish Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

What a great place! I came here for their trivia night, which was AWESOME. The staff there is amazing... they're friendly and incredibly accommodating. They were so nice to us, even after we needed to change tables a few times as our group grew. The beer selection is also really fantastic. They have a ton of craft brews available, and the staff seem to really know their stuff. The only complaint I may have is their food. It's not bad, it's just sort of generic pub food. I got wings and fries. The fries were HUGE and just a bit soggier/thick cut for my liking. The wings were also gigantic, but really really salty, and despite what the menu says, they only go up to "hot". I did taste some Moroccan spices on the wings, which I found pretty intriguing, but the saltiness made it really difficult for me to finish them. It's sort of out of the way for me, but if I ever need a drink in the area, I'm definitely hitting this place again! Oh and there's free wifi, you just need to ask for the password. read more

This place is cozy and comfortable. Gets a little noisy when it's busy, but not a big deal. There's a variety of seating on 2 levels. There are TVs, if you're looking for sports, if not, there's BOARD GAMES! Every board game you can think of, even Cards Against Humanity. The beer selection is fantastic. It's hard to pick. The beer menu is almost as large as the food menu. Nachos and perogies are pretty dang good with a few pints. It's got a great vibe and everyone is friendly. If you're in the area, drop in. read more

I've walked by here many times and recently read they had great shepherd's pie so we decided to try it out. It was an OK experience - nothing overly exceptional to write about. The atmosphere is nice - very cozy with a fireplace and some comfortable chairs. When we walked in, I thought I would love the place. We sat down and I quickly realized this visit was probably going to be mediocre. First, for an Irish pub they have only two Irish beers which I find very odd. Also, the food prices were fairly expensive for the area. I had the shepherd's pie as desired and my friend had the butter chicken. My pie arrived in a neat stacked fashion but I found it fairly bland and dry. My friends butter chicken was relatively small in portion size. Service wasn't exceptional and neither was the food. Honestly, I doubt I'll be back. Many more places to choose from in the area. read more

Stout Irish Pub - Shepherd's Pie - Irish Pub Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Passed by this Pub and then recalled having it on my bookmarks so decided to drop in. It was the weekend and though I was running late for lunch I was expecting a crowd here. Surprisingly not much happening here and I walked around and spotted a patio. A small cozy space but nicely done. Beer list though impressive for draft is limited to mostly local stuff. Bottled selection is a bit better but not much. Very few Belgian beers.They were serving the brunch menu when I arrived so after going through the menu ordered the french toast. I also ordered a flight of beer as I wanted to sample stuff. Service was bit slow even though they were not busy. They gave out free scones which is appreciated. Maybe I chose the wrong beers as the flight was forgetful. Finally the french toast arrived. Impressive to look at it was huge cube of soft bread with some strawberry custard stuffing and side of maple syrup. Potatoes were cubed and fried. Taste was decent but not eggy enough. So food is decent If they improve the service I would bump them half a star. 3 Stars overall. Odd area for a bar like this but I can see it being popular for this area. read more

I first stepped into the Irish pub 8 years back, staff are really nice and drinks are amazing with many selections. I was introduced to their famous "Hells Chicken Sandwich" which was mouth watering and packed with amazing flavor's. It became my favorite sandwich. As the years went by, the quality dropped. I quickly learned the chef left and had taken his recipe with him . I last ordered it a year ago and never did again... Please bring the OG chef back! read more

It's not just a little teapot, nor short. So glad to have found this place and shared with my fellow yelpers. Situated in the heart of Cabbagetown, it's much more of a local pub than an event bar. Low key, not overly loud, but buzzing on a Friday night. Great beer menu that offers a taster choice of 4 beers for almost the same price as a regular pint. They even offer a variety of board games for you to pick up if you happen to have a hankering for games, and who doesn't? From several Trivial pursuits to connect 4, it's all just sitting there for you to play when you walk in. Didn't try the food here yet, but that's on the to do for sure. Hmm might just have to have a games night here fairly soon. read more

This place has a great craft beer lineup with mostly Ontario breweries, and a couple from Quebec and internationally thrown in too. The bottle and can selection is pretty interesting and worth checking out. The bartender was very good at helping me choose something different from the bottle selection. I ended up going with Derniere Volonte from Quebec's Dieu du Ciel, a really interesting Belgium style beer. The menu is your standard comfort foods. I had the lamb burger which was good and the kettle chips were a nice change from fries. The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable. There are three different sections to the bar so if you are looking to watch the game head towards the back where there are a lot more TVs. read more

I was in Toronto on a lay over a few months ago, I could've swore I wrote a review of this place but apparently it evaded my attention. For that, I apologize. I love my Irish pubs, and being a New Orlenian, the vibe of my watering holes must be just right. I was pleased to find this place delivered to my comfort. Quaint little entrance, nothing like I'm used to seeing in New Orleans so it may not be that big of a deal to you, but i was drawn to it. I remember ordering a few different brews, mostly because of the gorgeous, very lovely young lady who sat at the bar herself for one in transit to a movie she was going to see. She picked a couple good ones for me :). But i digress... I know for sure I ordered a burger with fries and gravy and it was everything I needed for a second wind to take on the last half of my layover. The bartender was an awesome guy, I'm trying to remember his name, i believe it was Norris, yeah I'm pretty sure that's it. If so, you should stop in and say hello, they're good in helping an indecisive mind pick the right choice. Fair pricing, good food, great, extensive beer selection, awesome staff, I'll be sure to drop by again whenever I find myself in Toronto. read more

3.5 STARS Looking for a place to chill after dinner at Kanpai a group of friends and I decided to cross the street and check this place out. It was busy on a Saturday night - no surprise there, but we managed to get a table. The ground floor has a fireplace and a few tables. The second floor is tables all crammed in to the point of it becomes kinda uncomfortable if you have to get up and try to squish your way through the floor. I also found that it was pretty hot - like no ventilation kinda hot. I was sweating by the end of the night. The late night food menu is tiny but the drinks menu is extensive. This is definitely a lively place, loud and boisterous. Don't come here expecting to hear your friends! This is most likely due to the fact that they offer board games for play so you can imagine how loud things can get. A fun place to have an evening out where you can bring your A-game one (pun intended)! read more

Pubs in the city are a dime a dozen but ones like this are a real gem. I came for Sunday brunch and was thoroughly surprised by the food. Spot on! Perfectly prepared even the sausage was not your typical pork sausage. Which means these fine folks know those ones are shit. I was so excited that I ate it before I realized I hadn't taken a photo ! It's still pub food but well made pub food. Service was great. Atmosphere was comfortable and friendly. They even have board games . I would definitely come here again. read more

This is a GREAT pub in Toronto. I wanted to write a review of it after the first time we went, but never quite got around to it. Now I'm glad I didn't, because I can add more in this time after my second go-around. Stout is named as a tribute to Murphy's Irish, the only Irish stout you'll find on draft here. I like that the place wants to celebrate "the other" Irish beer that often takes a backseat to the popular front-runner, but holds its own with a creamy, nutty flavor and full body without a bitter aftertaste. You won't want to mix Murphy's with cider unless you want something that tastes very, very sweet. Just drink it straight. The craft beer selection here is commendable. There is always a Great Lakes beer on cask and the microbrew selections are a nice combination of American and Canadian. They turn over their kegs rather frequently too - a good thing when it comes to the quality of the taste. The food? Very, very good. Better than you'd expect for a pub. Fries and Stout burger crisp and juicy, respectively. The bun could've used a little extra work. However, the fish and chips was OUTSTANDING. The beer batter was perfect and the fish meat itself - slimy, almost gelatinous, pretty much perfect in my eyes. Some people may be put off by just how soft and slippery the fish was (did not have a white fish meat texture), but I adored it. It was a large portion and I found myself wanting to finish all the fish because each bite had the ideal texture of crispy to mushy without being oily. Stout it a winter bar. There's a fireplace in the front room, many board games for use, a dark cozy feel, and the attitude that it's best to be safe and cozy with a pint and some grub, rather than outside braving the cold. Highly recommend it for a relaxed dinner in Toronto. We'll be back! read more

Came here on Friday after a meal at Kingyo. Nice little Irish spot in Cabbagetown. I had a Call if Cluthulu Stout that was delicious! Nice hints of fruit to cut the stoutness of the beer.

Recommended. read more

Surprisingly expansive interior, excellent craft tap selection, fine ambiance, outdoor back patio, and solid food choices!

I will not recommend this pub if you care about food and service. We order soup and nachos, and they were not good at all. There was so little cheese on nachos. The soup was lukewarm. More importantly, we went there as a group of 4 tonight and was sit at the very back of the pub despite the fact that there was vacant tables on the front side. When we asked them if we could sit on the front side, we were told that those tables are either reserved or for a party of 5. Yet, when we used washroom at different times, we noticed that those tables were vacant during the entire time we were there. When we were thinking about ordering another round of drinks, we asked to move to the other side of the pub and the waitressed literally LIED to us by saying that there are no vacant tables. We then asked for the bill. Guess what?! There were three vacant tables! We will definitely NOT go back there again or recommend it to any of our friends. read more

Hit or miss, but the misses far outweigh the hits for me. I had maybe 6 dinners here and wont be back. Poor customer service and a comically sensitive/unprofessional day manager. Little input or knowledge of the menu and beers. Don't expect a thoughtful recommendation to sort through the more bland menu items. Shepherds pie was good but excessively expensive considering the ingredients. I wasn't impressed, but you might be. read more
