Bar Volo

Quaint hole in the wall bar with an old pub vibe. Get here early, because seating is limited! Beer variety is plentiful, including 4 casks, a gravity barrel, lambics, and many taps. The beer is hit or miss in quality, lean hoppier in profile. Service was professional and efficient

 

Super cool spot, boutique, highly interesting and worthy tap list, quality bottles, Beer to go in cans/bottles… Small bites food menu.

Chill spot oozing with atmosphere. Several smaller rooms, dark wood and lots of interesting stuff up on the walls, high ceilings and nice outdoor space when the weather cooperates. Friendly staff is always a plus.

Not far from the central downtown Toronto general area.

My first visit was very enjoyable. Sitting at the side of the bar, which seems to be the spot if you want to be at the bar, I received excellent service from all of the staff, and Tomasz in particular.

As expected the tap list was superb, rivaled only by Birreria. Got to try Hair of the Dog Adam, Oxbow Venacular, and Sawdust City Numerals, and left a happy camper as a result.

Also tried the Bruschetta and Salsiccia plates, both of which were delicious.

The music was loud but still allowed for conversation, and I had no trouble reading the tap list from the bar. They also have an extensive wine list (my wife will like that).

Overall it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back. Nice to see Bar Volo leading the way again.
