Granite Brewery & Tied House

This place has easily become a go-to for drinks with friends or to watch the game. Great selection of beer that has yet to disappoint. I've found several seasonal favorites that I know I'll be anticipating each year. Take home cans of their beers are also available from their beer store.

Food wise: In the times I've had a meal here, I'd say it's hit or miss. Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's just okay. Fish and chips are a must, one of the best items on the menu. Pulled pork poutine (really pulled pork cheese fries as they use shredded cheese not curds) is a great quick bite. If you're lucky enough to pop in when the veal parm sandwich special is around, get it.

Drink selection: They have a great selection. No matter your taste there's something for you. Ringwood has become an easy drinking go to and is available year round. Dark side is a great dark ipa, Shiro is also a great choice if you like brown ales. They're part of their rotating selection though so grab them when they're on tap (right now). I also enjoy their stouts, nice flavourful and smooth.

Service: I've not been disappointed by the service here. The bartenders and wait staff are courteous and efficient and quick to resolve any issues you might have with your order. Anytime I've mentioned an allergy they ensure that it's a non-issue with my food.

Atmosphere/seating: Up front they have two small seating areas and the bar with stools, and the rear has a full dining area that's regularly rented for events. It has a cozy, comfortable homey feel. During the summer they have patio seating available. TVs are set up around the bar area to catch the game.

Parking: Street parking is nearby, but there's also a garage that you can park in that they offer validation for. Entrance to the parking garage is just south of the restaurant entrance, after where the old Shoppers used to be.

Beers pictured: Shiro (Fuller dark beer), Ringwood and Dark side (Mostly finished dark).

Over 30yrs as a Brew Pub in the same location with the best craftsmen where perfection is the standard, not just an unattainable goal. The experience was perfect.

This place is fantastic. My wife and I held our 95-person wedding reception/party in the backroom and on the patio and it went absolutely perfectly.

First off, the space, drinks, and food were all excellent. Delicious appetizers, a great dinner buffet that included pasta, beef, and salmon (along with a multitude of sides), and some amazing late night snacks to keep the party going as the night went on. The kitchen was incredibly sensative to some of our guests' dietary needs/restrictions/allergies and it meant everyone was happy and got their fill!

The staff were fantastic. Sam (the venue manager) was incredibly communicative in the lead-up to the event, working with us to make sure no detail was spared, even while we communicated with him through time-zone differences (from Australia!). The staff on the night of the event were amazing, making sure everyone was happy, and making several last-minute changes to seating, A/V, and evening schedule with no issues at all to accomodate the usual bumps and hiccups that come with an event this size.

I really can't say enough about how great a night it was. Both my wife and I couldn't have had more fun and we got repeated compliments from friends and family telling us it was one of their favourite weddings they'd attended.

Thanks Granite team - you guys rule!

Love the atmosphere, and theres free garage parking
def not dog friendly as some suggested.one of the server, alexi was rude af.

The back patio was an incredible place to enjoy a couple beers. Quiet, cool, and relaxing on a warm day. Their IPAs were pretty impressive, and the jerk burger was good too.

Came for Summerlicious 2023 tasting menu. Love the Crispy Avocado Wedges and the Lamb Shank.

Great atmosphere and service. It's a nice place to chill with friends and has a warm vibe to it. The courtyard especially is very beautiful. They have a variety of beers available and the service is really good. They have a lot of seating available indoors and in the courtyard. I'd come here again to chill with friends and have a beer.

My server Peyton was the absolute best. Incredibly attentive and kind, they made my experience at Granite Brewery remarkable.

We called ahead to ask if our dog would be allowed on the patio and we were told that dogs were welcome on the front patio. We seated ourselves and got service fairly quickly.
The two staff we interacted with were friendly and efficient. Food was pretty good and decently priced.

I appreciated the signage on the doors of the washrooms indicating an inclusive and safe space, welcoming people to use whichever restroom they felt comfortable in.

Amazing experience! The food was delicious and the staff were extremely friendly! We will definitely come back!

Had a dark stout, and a Mediterranean lamb burger with fries, both were awesome! Staff were friendly and quick.

Such a hidden midtown gem! The patio in the back is such a respite from the neverending construction in the area. The beers and food are great too!

Owen is the absolute best. Love the Granite. An uncle of mine and I frequent as often as possible. Gotta try their stout ️

Our waiter Bridget was so friendly and checked on us often. The specials are good and everything was reasonably priced.

It's a great place that makes their own beer. The food is very good. The back patio is very peaceful and features a large awning that keeps the sun off you.
I enjoyed the special "Back in the Day" beer. It was very delicious and better than the Belgian Moon which is ubiquitous at Toronto bars.

Was here for a wedding

They did a phenomenal job looking after us!

Chris, Ada, and Erin took fantastic care of us!

A large, friendly and pleasant pub with 2 outdoor patios (front, on Mount Pleasant, and a roomy attractive one out back) that have been very welcome during COVID. The staff manage the social distancing rules efficiently and in a reassuring way. The food is tasty and a little more ambitious than usual for a conventional pub, but still reasonably priced. Free parking in the arcade next door. Would go there any time.
