nice service, they adjusted our reservation, even though it was last minute & good Beer selection. A small recommendation-- please offer more veg options.( I cannot fathom why an animal has to die so we can eat ) read more

Great place for burgers and a beer. We were looking for something not too far from the Rogers Centre, but far enough not to be swamped with sports fans ;) Service was great. Our waitress was attentive, quick and efficient. The atmosphere and ascetics were terrific. Think large pub meets beer hall that was family friendly for us. read more

Here for an event. Noisy. But that is to be expected. Classic pub look Burgers with bacon were big but tasted mediocre. Looked better than it tasted. Think the quality of beef is poor. Chicken sandwich better. Get that instead. Fries were bland. Liked that they were skin on style though. Service was decent and standard pub. They were efficient which was nice. Mediocre overall. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon to watch the Jays game. The place was half empty, with classic rock playing in the background--super chill vibe. They had three different sports events on big screens all around, so it was easy to catch whatever you're into. There was also a "Light(PBR) & Dark( Sleeman honey brown?)" duo special for $7, which was a nice touch. If you're looking to watch your favorite sports in a laid-back setting, check out the Loose Moose! read more

Boy, is this a great place! The ambiance is that of a giant sports pub, with lots of fun Blue Jay fans lining the seemingly endless bar. Hubby and I found seats somewhere in the middle and enjoyed our first Canadian poutine (just cheese and gravy). It was a very good, and stick-to-your-ribs kinda food. I don't remember the bartender's name, but she was very nice and hustled to keep all the patrons happy. If I found myself in Toronto again, I would definitely return to watch a game there with some Mill Street beers! read more

VERY UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD! We just randomly happened to come to dinner to this place with a friend because it was walkable from the apartment we were at. A real hidden gem here! Pineapple Paradise Cocktail (Malibu, Soho Lychee Liqueur, pineapple, lime) was absolutely delicious. It was like juice where you don't even taste the alcohol! A dangerously good drink haha. The Woody Burger (ouble stacked beef patties, BBQ brushed, American cheese, bacon, really special sauce, caramelized onion, served on bacon focaccia) - Husband ordered this because it just sounded so yum! I what have usually asked to replace the beef with chicken, and didn't usually order beef burgers, but OH MY! Such a delicious burger! The beef and sauce and onions and everything went so well together. Very creative focaccia as well! A very large burger too. Side House Salad with the burger was Huge! Places usually skimp out on the portion or size when it comes to side salads but this was really good! So large! And the dressing was delicious! Chicken Avocado Club Sandwich - Friend ordered this and said it was yum! Not too big a portion size here, but yum. Sweet Potato Fries on the side were flavorful too. Not super crispy as normal fries are, but it's like you keep reaching for more, haha. 1lb Award Winning Chicken Wings (Garlic Chili) - Husband and friend shared this and devoured it! I only tried the sauce and it was actually so good! Med-East Crunch Salad (Mixed greens, chickpea, carrot, red & green pepper, cucumber, grape tomato, radish, crispy corn tortilla, cilantro, cumin & paprika vinaigrette) - This was my order. What a DELICIOUS salad! I asked for dressing on the side and added only about 1 tsp and 1tsp of the dressing form the house salad. Combination was lovely! Overall a really filling and delicious salad. Also got the grilled chicken on the side and the meal was perfect! read more

Wed night walk-in and we decided to sit at the bar to grab a quick bite and libations. Amy at the bar was cute and friendly and we stuck with local lagers which included Canadian Lager and Moosehead Lager - both really easy to drink. For food, I got the Spicy Mexican Rice Bowl ($21.21) with Tofu tossed in Buffalo sauce - Amy's recommendation to toss the Tofu with something, and that did the magic! Big portion size, but good on flavor. I couldn't finish the plate though! Noise levels got louder as the night progressed and it was kind of difficult to have a conversation while seated at the bar. Perfect place if you are looking for some good drinks and bar eats! read more

A good bar to have some drinks and bar food right outside of Union Station! This spot is conveniently located outside of Union Station right when you get out. Is it the best food you can get? Short answer is no. But when you're at a sports bar wanting some affordable drinks and fried foods, this is not a bad option at all! Servers here are nice and quick to get you what you need. Bar food is great, especially the nachos, as it was easy to have for the table to share. Ambiance is what you'd expect at a sports bar, loud and fun! Would definitely come here again for a quick drink and bite before an event. read more

Had a recommendation from a baseball book to stop here before the Blue Jays game so decided to check it out. Great building, plenty of space, very industrial feel. Lots of seating inside and large bar. We ordered chips and guac and beers. Pricier end for a drink, but they had a few specials (unfortunately the beer on special I wanted was kicked ... ) but service was great and very friendly. Check them out! read more

Food was good. A little better than basic bar food. Our server was fantastic though. He forgot to put our drink order in but totally owned it, apologized, rushed to get them and took an item off our tab. That is great service and his positive attitude was infectious. read more

Drinks - They were out of the 2 drinks I wanted to try: the Pineapple Paradise and the Gummi Worm. I ended up getting a soda instead of having to pick another drink. Food - Ordered the Chimichurri Steak Sandy and the Loaded Poutine. Steak Sandy was under the Big A$$ Sandwiches section, but it's more of a medium sized sandwich (think 2 sliders big). Thin piece of steak, but the aioli is flavorful. Loaded Poutine is big and shareable or can be someone's entree. Service - We were sat right away. Server was friendly. She made some recommendations for an alternate drink, but I didn't feel like trying those out. Atmosphere - Big place with an industrial feel. It's probably pretty busy on Fridays and Saturdays. read more

I absolutely LOVED The Loose Moose - it's a HUGE spot in a great location by Scotiabank with an absolutely massive bar and a ton of seating. The food is decent bar food and there are a lot of beers on tap, specialty cocktails, wines you would expect from a sports bar, but most importantly, a ridiculously friendly staff. During the 2 nights I was in Toronto, I hit the Moose both nights (and had been there during a prior visit as well - I'm a creature of habit, what can I say?). They play a variety of sports on their huge TVs and also showcase music videos on the screen, which is a nice departure from some of the bars in the area that show the news - you get a break from being inundated as you start drinking. We were able to watch one of the Premier League games while there, so that was really nice to come in while it was on versus having to ask to change channels. During that game, it was a slower time during happy hour, but even so, within a half hour of us arriving there, people started coming in droves before the Maple Leafs game over at Scotia. The Loose Moose stacks the bar with bartenders and they are truly on it. Then we came during a SUPER busy time, before a concert, but were lucky enough to grab some bar seats and still received the same incredibly friendly and attentive level of service. As stated, the food is bar food, but is done well overall - we got the jalapeno popper dip, which was DELISH, and the barbeque wings as well (big portions of everything). A great spot to get some snacks to share with a group and the burgers also looked awesome. This will definitely continue to be in the rotation for future trips to Toronto! Anywhere with an extensive beer/drink list (and Matua as their NZ Sauv Blanc), excellent service, and a very cool vibe?! Always a win. read more

This is our first time in Toronto and the first restaurant we hit up since it was close to our hotel ....and we happened to come here on the night of the Stanley cup game so it was LOUD! We had little kids with us too and I was worried that it would be too much of a bar scene. I'm not sure if there are just other way more amazing restaurants in town, but we thought everything here was excellent so I don't understand the low reviews. The staff was nice, and accommodating to our kids and the food was delicious! read more

Nothing shocking, but also nothing remarkable. Typical run-of-the mill sports bar. Prices and the Moosehead were about average. Environment was nothing special, and decently packed during most times. Positive was the seating, which is usually available. read more

Our server was awesome, gave menu help but also gave us some tips of things to do in the area. The Woody Burger was huge and tasty. The steak bowl was missing the chimmichuri sauce but still trusted good. Hubby said the fish sandwich was amazing. Good margarita as well! read more

The service was very friendly and quick. We told them we were on a bit of a time crunch and they were really good with that. The cheeseburger was delicious! Double patty which I didn't anticipate so it was very filling but yum! The fries were very good too. I kept picking at them even after saying I was done and full. Busy place but not surprised as it is right downtown. read more

My friend and I ended up here for a late dinner on a Saturday night. Classic sports bar options. I had a burger, which was two thin smash patties, lettuce, tomato, and pickles on a brioche bun. I had the option of fries, house salad, or Caesar salad, and opted for a house salad. Nothing revolutionary; the food was fine. Our waitress was really nice. This is a sports bar. If you're a sports fan, I have no doubt that this would be a great place to watch a game. If you're just here to eat, I would avoid coming at the same time as a game. It was super loud and the crowd was a bit rowdy. read more

I am not a poutine connoisseur by any stretch, but when I get a chance to visit Canada you're damn right that's what I'm having. In addition to as many Labatt's and Molson's I can handle. That said, the poutine I had here was just average. It pretty much tastes like any knock-off recipe you can find in the States. Ok, I get it, it's three ingredients, not hard to make. I guess I was at least expecting the gravy to be a bit more unique? I don't think it helped that it took the bartender 15 minutes to take my order, even though it was a Monday night and the place was near-empty. All in all, it wasn't bad....just whelming. read more

I really loved the vibe of this bar. We did a walk in to watch the march madness semi finals at this location. Their seating downstairs was pretty nice with pretty good screens. The servers took our order in a timely manner. :) We got beers and shared one of the truffle fries. Came in pretty fresh! read more

I attended an event at the downstairs floor of this pub, they provided grilled cheese, chicken wings, poutine, sliders, veggie platters, and mini hot dogs, as well as drinks. The food was very mediocre, even when they brought "fresh" dishes out it did not taste good. The service was not the best, I felt like I was being rushed to eat because the server kept asking to take my plate before I was finished eating. The vibe is pub style, dimly lit, loud, and a bit dirty. read more

The food here was absolutely terrible, so bad that I knew I had to throw up about 5 minutes after eating it. Buffalo chicken sandwich not at all "Buffalo" style. Sweet potatoes fries were so soft it seemed like they were barely cooked. My friend had a burger and fries and both were also terrible. Go somewhere else, Toronto has so much good food don't waste your time and money on this place. read more

Another night in Toronto and another game of playoffs baseball! The place was heaving and we had a couple of burgers - cheeseburger and Mushroom burger - and a couple of drinks. Maria our server was very attentive and helped us out and even arranged the salad as an extra instead of the fries. Food and ambiance terrific. (We left before the end of the game...sadly...didn't end well for the Bue Jays). All in all, a great night. read more

We went here two times while visiting Toronto. Both times we've been were excellent. My husband, our two best friends, their 5 year old daughter and myself all thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Everyone we interacted with that worked there were so friendly. First night, my friend and myself had the fish and chips, it didn't disappoint. Definitely the top 5 best fish fry I've ever had. The 2nd visit, we all had burgers and omg!! To die for! They even make the buns in house. The kiddo in our party had chicken fingers both nights and loved them. Whenever we return to Toronto, we will be back! read more

Coincidentally the loose moose is actually the name of the restaurant and also my nickname after a night out on the town. The place was tasty and had a nice interior (there were cow butts on the wall which kinda gave the place a bit of style). The poutine was super good but absolutely cleaned out my insides when I went back to my hotel. Also my dad ordered a burger medium rare and the waiter said that they can only do burgers well done due to "laws and regulations." Wtf. Somebody get Trudeau on the phone so we can change these laws and regulations." read more

Large, classic pub around the corner from the Metro Convention Centre. The basic cheeseburger was excellent: I was a little concerned at the "double stacked" description but it's filling without being enormous. Their medium is really a medium rare, which is perfect. The side of poutine was great for a taste and could totally be shared, I haven't found real poutine in LA since my favorite (Québécois) restaurant closed a few years ago. I was missing it, and the version at the Loose Moose is pretty good. Service is fast, and they have a large selection of beers on tap. read more

Food was average. We got the poutine and a burger, it was okay but nothing that I would have to come back for. The real kicker of the night was trying to get a receipt for insurance reasons and having the manager tell us no. They were handwriting the receipts that night and couldn't even take time to hand write us an itemized receipt. Poor customer service. In summary, okay food but nothing special, and poor customer service which gives it the 2 star read more

A friend and I stopped by shortly after 5 pm last Sat. afternoon after partaking in Doors Open. I've been coming to The Loose Moose for a large number and wide variety of Events/occasions since 2003, at which time they occupied their lower level only which has long since been renamed The Antler Room due to their expansion to the upper (main) floor. Despite living close by, I didn't start going to the venue on a more regular basis until 2013 when I received the news that they were greatly expanding their beer selection. Some of the Events I've been to at The Loose Moose over the years are Hallowe'en (which included a pumpkin carving contest), New Year's Eve 2 years in a row with a beer lovers social Group I used to help organize and a local Brewery's Anniversary Party. In addition, about 10 years ago the venue had a 'Stein Club' in The Antler Room downstairs which I joined for 1 year; for $10-11 you obtained rental of a stein (a 32 oz beer glass) and discounts on selected beers. I used my stein 3 times, thereby just breaking even when figuring the total amount of the discounts I received against the cost of joining the Club. On Sat. my friend and I experienced prompt, quite friendly and helpful service; the bar was fairly barren when we arrived and we were seated right at the front where the big windows were open so we enjoyed a bit of a breeze. By the time we left around 6:45 pm the main floor had become considerably more crowded with other customers. The venue is basically considered to be a quite large sports Bar which also often features live bands performing downstairs in The Antler Room with a dancing floor facing the stage. Yes, the venue can get noisy on game days/nights, especially when a Toronto team is playing; of course it can also get noisy on non-game nights, i.e. on the weekend around dinnertime and/or at night. So you should take this into consideration if you're not a sports fan and you don't like crowded and noisy venues when looking for a suitable place for drinks/food. Being in the Downtown core close to two subway stations and many other amenities (including The Rogers Centre and Scotiabank Arena) makes The Loose Moose a very convenient bar to drop into. read more

Pretty big place they have an upstairs and downstairs. We arrived during peak hour of the Hockey game so they were busy. Our main reason for stopping by was to try the "Poutine". We ordered the 2 different Poutines they have on the menu and they were pretty good. Mixed drinks were not it here so I stuck to beer to get my monies worth. They do have lots of TVs around but during a Hockey game that is all they will play for you. I know people were being told the wait was 1-1.5 hrs long we waited about 45min. read more

A favorite of a lot of our friends when visiting Toronto. Food and atmosphere are great.
