What a difference 2 years makes! This is going to be a night and day review compared with the other one.
First off, it seems the original brewmaster has left to start his own place. A paper stuck at the front entrance mentions new ownership and you can tell as you walk in. Bought by a Lebanese restaurant with serves its food alongside a traditional pub menu, the accent is definitely not craft oriented.
About 12 taps, all of them BMC except their house beer (which is misprinted on their printed menu) and a Creemore tap.
It was dead on Sunday night, not very inviting. UFC posters plastered everywhere which a Harley-Davidson banner on the outside of the restaurant.
Food was ok, nothing to write home about but nothing awful either.
Don't come here expecting good craft beer. Actually, don't bother coming here at all!

I tried dragging my wife here but she would have none of it. In hindsight, I'm glad I came alone. I came for lunch mid-week. Before I say anything negative--I have to aver that the beer selection is impressive (DDC, Hopfenstark and le Naufrageur). The beer is served a little cold but they have at least 9 on tap and nothing macro.
Unfortunately, they don't pay as much attention to the food. The food price is cheap but the quality is quite poor. In interests of full disclosure I didn't try anyting from the grill (which is what they base their name on). But I did have the lunch special and the tip-off came when it was brought to my table 30 seconds after ordering. I think the server commiserated because she was keen to take away the plates almost as quickly as they were brought out.
The staff was friendly but it looks like a converted "Belle Province".
Come for the beer selection but come full.
