Amsterdam BrewHouse

 

Big place, with several separate dining area, by the water and importantly by the Rogers center, the Blue Jays baseball stadium. Also very close to the popular tower that everybody want to go up..

Good place with a group, and obviously a good place for a larger selection of middle of the road craft beers, before a baseball game. Large menu, burgers, and an array of typical bar chow. Friendly service is always a plus. Views of the water and boat dock. Lots of big screens with the game on.

Good luck parking down here. Good spot if you are visiting Toronto and want to have a beer and a bite during a downtown tour, walk or bike ride.

Beers to go in cans also might fit into your post visit activities.

I live across the street and shop at the retail store frequently as they usually have 1-2 rotators available and fresh stock of stalwarts like Boneshaker and Fracture.

The pub is fine and I sometimes go there to catch a game and try a couple new beers, but the rotators on tap are typically the same ones sold in the store, so it’s less of a draw since you’re paying more to drink the same "interesting" stuff that you can bring home.

That said we’ve never had any issues with the service (despite what others have experienced), the food ranges from decent to good, the bottle list is always solid, and we really enjoyed spending New Years Eve here, so overall I have a pretty favourable impression of the place.

It’s also a great option if you wanna go somewhere with non-beer geek friends and still be able to drink well. They’ll be happy with the 416 or Blonde and will probably enjoy the music (Top 40) and various games on, and you get to drink Vicars Vice on cask...a win-win for everyone. :)

I was visiting Toronto, Ontario, and after visiting the CN Tower, walked to the waterfront to have dinner and refreshments at Amsterdam BrewHouse. This place was hopping on a Monday evening.

Located right on the water with the brewery space separated but visible through large window, ABH has a large, well appointed bar in front, and numerous seating arrangements inside and outside. No idea what its seating capacity is, but it is big, and it was packed.

About a dozen in-house brews were available and run the range of offerings. The food was well presented and excellent. The service was top-notch (while we were waiting for a seat, they let me charge my phone). Really a great place to visit in Downtown Waterfront Toronto.

Nice location. Good view. Limited numbers of beers.

 

 

Huge space. Great views. Pretty average beer. It's not a bad place to start your day, but can be very crowded and loud. Lots of great beer in this town, but you'll probably be in this area, and it's worth at least a pop in for one beer.

Outstanding patio view on the waterfront. Inner restaurant is nice too, but this is really best on a warm summer day looking out at the water. Service is solid, especially for how packed it is.

The selection is pretty wide and varied, but overall very solid. Not the craziest brews but really tasty stuff. The food is great too. Definitely worth a visit.

 

 

 

 

 

This is their "brewhouse" located on the tourist-choked Queens Quay; it is situated in a former warehouse, it's original beams and brickwork still being retained as the décor. It is a massive place with many loud and boisterous patrons spread all over and out the door and onto the large patios. The bar is enormous and takes up the main room. Amsterdam offers nine of their beers on tap, with a good variety of styles offered for the beer expert or the beer novice. Many of the beers are lighter so as to not frighten the tourists, I suppose. That said, the beers were very good and fresh - particularly the Cruiser All Day IPA and their Fracture Imperial IPA, the latter being very delectable. I did enjoy the smoke cheddar burger.

This venue is comparatively pricier than other places in town, but the real estate is prime. If you do not wish to deal with the hustle and the bustle, Amsterdam beers are readily available about - or aboot - town. I do recommend their Boneshaker IPA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This place is absolutely HUGE. Very nice ambiance, two levels, upscale. I assume in the summer time this would be even better with the patio open right on the water. Will make sure to come back when the weather warms up.

The service was not the best. Out waitress was knowledgeable about the beer on the menu but service was extremely slow, and the place was not all that busy. In addition to that, I am fairly certain that I was served the wrong beer, which there is no excuse for.

They had all of the standard lineup plus 1 seasonal brew and 2 adventure series brews. Would have like to have seen a couple more interesting one-offs/pub exclusives.

Food was good. Had a couple of apps that were both tasty. Overall, mixed feelings but would go back.

 

 

The brewhouse is up and serving. . I had one tap and 2 of the special bottle series, both wild ales. 2 bars,an upstairs. 3 patios facing great scenery. Its huge, its the biggest brew structure to hit Toronto and its a must visit. If not for all the construction, it would be even more slammed. Ian has great plans here, lots of tanks so he will be brewing.. beer store opening soon. Just go.
