3030 Dundas West

The food and drink selection is excellent. The bar staff are over worked. Go for the chef.

Had a brilliant night out. Head chef Adisa was fantastic, made a great burger, and came and hung out with us.

It may surprise you but the food here is incredible. It's a great music venue with amazing staff, the Wednesday trivia is what keeps me coming back every week. There are so many other reasons to stop in for a drink or catch a show.highly recommend.

Some of the best live music in the city, especially when the St. Royals, Parkside Drive, or the Intentions are playing! Very spacious venue and great craft beers on tap.

This place was very unique, the bar service was great and the bartender made some amazing drinks, i was impressed! I didnt eat here as food service was not happening due to a special event, but we were able to bring in our own outside food from wherever, which was great! We ordered a pizza! You do have to go to the bar for service as at this time their was no table service due to the band playing. The band was great, it did give off a nit of a wedding vibe lol but was still fun. The crowd was a lot older then i thought but their was a mix.

Great place to go see a live music performance in the evening, often no cover. The night we were there, St Royals were playing. They play here often. Big stage and lots of place to dance. Bar staff is friendly. Recommend.

We stopped by after dinner on Friday night to check out the dancing scene, and we had a pretty good time. The band played one crowd favourite after another and it was nice to be someplace that was friendly to an older crowd. The staff was friendly, helpful and quick.
The only thing that negatively impacted our experience was a terrible smell… I’ve been here before and don’t recall this being a thing, but there were a few hot spots in particular where we couldn’t tolerate the smell (a mix of garbage and sewage) and so we kept moving closer to the door to try and avoid it.
All this to say I hope the bar is working on whatever was causing the smell, because we are looking forward to going back!
(Update: saw managements response. Glad to hear the problem was solved!)

I ate here earlier this year. The food was terrible, but the customer service was unforgivably bad. I had one server in particular who was rude and aggressive. After waiting for my order for 20 minutes, I asked a bartender/server if my order is ready yet. He responded "Do you see it on your table? ". It turns out his colleague who took my order had forgotten to place it (which is fine, at-least he admitted it gracefully). When I told him that his colleague forgot about it, he said "oh no it is being prepared". Never bothered apologizing. And of course, the dish wasn't good either. I ordered an Alloo Pie. It was absolutely soaked in an over-sweetened tamarind sauce. Tamarind sauce is a dipping sauce, not a gravy.

Great bar for live music, rustic decor and very spacious! Loft setting with a stage and 2 bars on either ends of the room which is very convenient when busy. The menu seems very interesting, I had beer only during my recent visit. I'll do a follow-up in December on the food, cheers.

I come here pretty regularly and just genuinely enjoy everything about it. The staff are friendly, the cocktails are out of this world and the food is delicious. Everything on the food menu is fantastic but I constantly crave the doubles, aloo pie and oxtail risotto.

Amazing food and service, is definitely 10 out of 10. Johnny gave us a great experience, also the live music was great. I totally recomend this spot!

I was forced to give it a 1 Star, when I wish there were options to give negative Stars. Highly anticipated, highly disappointed. Rude customer service, not family friendly. Live music doesn’t even compliment the restaurant.in fact it was rather loud, we couldn’t even hear ourselves think! Extremely slow service! When you’re only offering a summerlicious menu, meaning, A SET MENU OF 9 items, it should all be ready to order. We waited over 3 hours and had to just request to have our entree to go! This is by far one of the worst restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food was mediocre, nothing fancy. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

Had a wonderful night here of karaoke. The staff, especially Jack, and Clemens, were outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful evening of normalcy in these abnormal times. I'll definitely be back!

Great music venue, a junction favourite. Amazing local performers and DJs. Staff is awesome, especially Jack. Down to earth and great dancefloor. Highly recommended.

Went for Wednesday trivia with a group of dear friends. Enjoyed very much the experience! Delicious cocktail and a potato snack that was very tasty.

Excellent food, good drinks.good vibes. What more can you want? The callaloo was amazing, this spot is definitely a new fave!

Short but sweet menu. Delicious food. Got the Colonel, an Ale and an off menu drink. Had a great time with my bro, we didn't know there was going to be a DJ but was a nice surprise.

I loveeeee going to 3030. Wonderful live music selections, cool staff. Great place for dancing. My kid looks forward to the Liam Kearney show on the last Sunday of every month. What a local gem this place is!

Just had my Wife’s 30th birthday at 3030. Leading up to the event I worked with Jameson who was super helpful in workin with me on food menus and getting all the details sorted out. Once arriving to 3030 you will notice that the place is really well taken care of, really cool decor and also much bigger than it looks from the outside! I was introduced to the staff who would be working with us over the course of the night, from the managers to the bar staff and talented kitchen team. All of the staff were super helpful, friendly and made sure you were taken care of.
We had around 45 guests and every single person complimented the food, we had a buffet style with fried chicken, pulled pork, buffalo cauliflower, wontons and chips /salsa and thing like that. Everything was delicious, hot and cooked to perfection. Fantastic job! We then continued to have a great night with lots of drinks and then lots of Dancing.there was a live band called the intentions who were honestly out of this world, but I’ll leave Them a review separately!

Venue, Food, staff and live entertainment all 5 out of 5!

Great selection of microbrewery beers and tasty food! Small plates are great. We've loved this place for years and are super excited to be having our wedding here!

Great place for live music and reasonably priced food. My wife and I have been here several times and have really enjoyed it and brought other friends. The only reason this is not a five star review is the venue does not have adequate security so I would recommend that ladies do not go there on their own but only in groups.
For more detail we were there last night and some big tall guy bumped into my wife quite aggressively and then started to try and chat with her. She asked him to please not bump into her again and he got quite aggressive with swearing and insulting her. We were beside the dance floor so we told the bartender and he said there’s only one security person at the front of the bar so I would have to talk to them. We decided to leave because we didn’t want a scene and as we were leaving another couple stopped us and said hey we saw what happened that guy did the same thing to us and was very aggressive. We told the bouncer who was a lovely young Sikh man with a turban and he said he would deal with it so we decided to stay. About 10 minutes later we saw the aggressive dude again and he tried to talk to my wife and we told him he should leave and he told us to shut up. We then approached the bouncer again and said what’s going on and he said this guy had apologized and everything was fine now. I spoke to an older lady who I think was the manager and she said we didn’t have to leave and they would deal with it. We were in a larger group and by this time some of our guys were getting upset so in the end we left rather than have a confrontation. I would just warn that you will not be safe in this place and the bouncer is really a sweetheart but ineffective at his job. And despite two women reporting that they were harassed in the end this club chose to do nothing and the guy who started it all stayed.
We will actually go back in the future but only with several couples and we will make sure everyone stays together.

Go there most Wednesdays for trivia (which is great). Bar usually has a good selection of local beer. Food is okay, but nothing special and a bit too expensive for the quality. Basically it's a great venue for trivia, but I wouldn't go there to eat or hang out otherwise.

Dodgy bartender. Shaved head, baseball cap. I watched him try to short change multiple people all of whom were paying with $50 bills. Bad for business.

Great place for live music but the service is terrible. It was a busy night, I’ll give them that, but we ended up leaving after just getting wings (which arrived 45 minutes to an hour after ordering) because we were told any other food would take that length of time.

Great selection of microbrewery beers and tasty food! Small plates are great. Concerts are here are awesome as the crowd is always down to dance:) kid friendly in the daytime and evening but adults at night!

Awesome place with good music and drinks. Goes well with the neighborhood trend. 40+ hipsters mom/dads looking for some fun, not too far from home.

The bar tender was very disrespectful and insulted my choice in drink. The menu was not at all what was shown on the website with significantly higher prices in store. (They don’t serve food after 9pm.) She then accused our IDs of being fakes and took twenty minutes to get our drinks after lecturing us about bringing our passports next time, so we ended up leaving. Very dissatisfied.

The food is extremely good and all made from scratch! There often seems to be live music or a dj later on in the evenings and I've heard some great music! Everyone should definitely go check it out!

Good food, good beer and good vibes. Amazing bands playing there on the weekends without a door fee or anything. The sound from the stage is clean an loud just enough to give you the "live music kick" without hindering conversations

Great fun night out on a wednesday. Great activity to spend with a mini group. Trivia night was defn a fun environment, great different choices of ales, Loved the potato and dip basket.

Planning a wedding at this venue has been a dream. Amazing communication with the incredible owner and staff. We've loved this place for years and are super excited to be having our wedding here!

Cant vouch for the food but I went here for the first time last night for a show and had an absolute blast. The music was beyond amazing (live local band - soul motivators) and finding out that the space regularly hosts funk events was even more awesome. Toronto needs more funk. I can't wait to go back here.

Great service, yummy poutine and a good selection of local craft beers on tap. Also they have pinball machines! Great bar when visiting the Junction

Really great brunch, very creative menu. I don't want this place to become swamped so I'm hesitant to give it 5 stars but our server absolutely killed it being the only one working on a busy Sunday morning.

Normally, I have really enjoyed the food and service at 3030, but their New Year's Eve Price Fixe was very disappointing. I'm vegetarian, and while there was a vegetarian options on the menu, it' was definitely NOT worth the $65 price. My friends each ordered the steak option as their main. Nice big cuts of meat, lots of sautéed veggies and potatoes. For my main, I got 10 small pieces of barely stuffed ricotta and spinach ravioli. Normally, I wouldn't count ravioli in a serving, but when the server put my plate in front of me, and then served my friends their meal, I thought perhaps she had forgotten to bring part of my dinner. That's how small the serving was in comparison to the steak option. When I say the ravioli was barely stuffed, I mean, I saw no evidence of stuffing in the pasta. The pesto sauce was flavourless. It was like eating bite size pieces of cardboard doused in bad pesto. My friends definitely got their money's worth, with their meals, but I certainly did not. I know restaurants jack up the prices of dinner on NYE as it's a big draw, but if you're going to offer a vegetarian option on a price fixe for a special occasion, at least make it A: edible and B: the same value as the meat option or charge a lesser price. I will say the service was very attentive. The beer selection is fantastic. But vegetarians, beware, the food was very overpriced for what you got.

Space is good, plenty of room to sit at a table or stand. Live music is great, the band was good but the sound in the room is mediocre.did not do the band any justice. Bar servers left little to be desired, slow and not the friendliest. All in all a good venue for a social gathering. Only 3 stars for sound (for a live venue) and bar service.

This place scores at most a 2 star on the most basic three qualities: 1) service 2) food quality 3) pricing.

Very regretful that I chose this place for my family Sunday brunch this week.first and last time.

Food was unsatisfactory. French onion soup came with a square of bread w melted cheese. Caesar salad consisted of a quarter head of iceberg lettuce drizzled with dressing and a few candied nuts. Really! Tagliatelli was did not live up to the description.
Nice venue for a concert but the kitchen was not in good form on the evening we visited.

My daughter and I were looking for a brunch place in the Junction. The first place we went to was full so we wandered down the street to 3030. I was a little reluctant at first “Brunch in a Bar? ” But I liked the alliteration so we tried it. It was really good. From the friendly service to the innovative menu. Way more than I expected. I had the Eggs Benedict on Falafel. It was really good. My daughter had the BLT with the egg. She said it was excellent, great bread. The salad greens were yummy too. The small details were thought of. I would go back in an instant.

Don’t order a poutine! They gave me fries, gravy and something that resembled kraft single slices. I think it was real cheese, probably for hamburgers but it was literally unmelted sliced cheese on the top! I was there at night and the menu was limited. There was no waiter that came to the table I had to go to the bar, order, pay and take a number back to my table. Thus there was no sending it back unless I wanted to wait in the line and go through the hassle of trying to get a refund. My cousin ordered a pound of chicken wings that looked more like pigeon wings and definitely not a pound worth. It’s safe to say having to cut cheese strips did not make me want to return.

Positive note: the Friday night DJ wasn’t bad.

Went for my Girlfriend birthday cause she told me she's had a good experience there. This was the opposite, service was horrible she was barely around and would only take one drink order per visit. Food was awful tacos tasted like dark mud, perogies were tasteless, cod fish and and potato cakes only tasted of potatoes and the fried risotto balls in the inside tasted like mush. And to top it all off we were hit with a 18% gratuity without being informed in advance or at anytime.
Won't be coming back and will warn my friends before they go there.

I have been going to 3030 for over 5 years. I’ve had many parties here from personal to corporate.
April 5 my friends surprised me with a small gathering of 7 people for my birthday.
I was so excited………… However, within 30 minutes I knew the night wasn’t going to be like past evenings here. Our server came over to our table and a couple of my friends said that is was my birthday. She acted like this was a dirty word. Now, I’m not saying that she should have been jumping up and down singing……. But a happy birthday would have been nice. The server would come to the table and take one drink order from one person then turn and walk away even though others required new drinks. When we flagged down the other server she rudely stated that she was NOT our server and she would go notify ours that we required her.
The food seem to take forever, we ordered sunroot pierogis which were bland, dry and hard (should have returned these too). The curried cod cake seem to only have potato in them. No cod was seen or tasted. The brussels sprouts doubles were definitely not doubles (common in Trinidad) and they were uninspiring. We returned the catfish tacos as they were uneatable. The only descent dish was the 3030 burger.
We finally couldn’t take anymore and people were hungry so we asked for our bills. They were the only thing that was done quickly. To our surprise we were charged 18% gratuity which normally is designated to groups over 8. I don’t have an issue with being charged a gratuity but for the service we received it really wasn’t earned.
If this would have been a normal outing someone would have requested a manager. No one wanted to put anymore of a damper on my birthday.
I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on.
