This is a reliable pub to catch a game (they are pretty accommodating at finding the game you want), drink some decent beer, and have a tasty dinner.
The bartenders and servers are very friendly, know a lot about sports, and will talk to you or leave you alone depending on your mood.
Someone mentioned the beer choice wasn't good enough, but I thought it was fine. a lot of times these places serve only Labatt, Canadian and their ilk, but Brass Taps had Mill Street and some other fine pints on offer.
For a pub, the food is very good. The pizza is their specialty and they have some good choices. I am partial to the anchovy. The wings are good too, and the "hot" ones are actually hot.
All in all, Brass Taps is a good local to cover your basic pub needs. -

First impression is really important on the first date.
Brass Taps Pizza Pub really makes a good impression. The dark and "cozy" down to earth vibe, the friendly crowd and the helpful waitress.
My quickie Tequila shot ($6) sealed the deal.
I will be back again, my second date will hopefully involve some finger licking food! -

This was one of our stops on our Yelp Dufferin Grove pub crawl.
We literally came in, did a shot of tequila and left to grab food at Hadley's.
The place is dingy, the bathroom smelled funny, but our waitress was cute and nice. There was a good sized crowd for a Tuesday night with most seemingly hanging out to watch the game. Would like to come back and try the food, but I think I'll wait for an warm summer day to enjoy their patio.

Stopped in few times for afternoon lunches and will undoubtedly be back at some point based on its location and the fact its open earlier than most of the other places in the area. They also have a small patio out front and a slightly larger patio in the back, which makes for good beer drinking in nice weather.
The food has all been pretty good from my experiences. Not necessarily impressive, but satisfying enough with no major issues or complaints. Most things on the menu are in the $10-$15 price range.
This weekend I split a cheese pizza and basket of sweet potato fries with a vegetarian friend of mine. The pizza was quite good with a thin crust and they brought olive oil, parmesan cheese and dried chillis to the table to help with making things even better. Sweet potato fries are a good thin cut and crispy rendition, however losing points on being served with a boring plain mayo to dip in (rather than a chipotle mayo or something a bit more interesting as most other places that charge $6 would offer).
In a past visit I had the veal sandwich with fries which so far was the most notable thing I've had there, but with a vegetarian in tow last time, there was a moral dilemma of ordering a breaded baby cow sandwich.
The beer is a bit more expensive that most of the other places in the area ($17 - $21 ranging from a pitcher), but the food has more selection and better quality for other pub type places, so it redeems itself. -

I ordered pizza (mushroom, green pepper, and pepperoni). Loved it.. actually, one of the best I've had in Toronto. My girlfriend ordered some kind of pasta (italian sausage rigatoni I think) and it was probably the worst pasta I've tasted in Toronto... it tasted.. like... nothing! So, our experience was as hit-or-miss as it gets. :)

I sure wish that God would allow me to give this place a higher rating. Unfortunately the laws of brutal honesty demand that I not be as kind as I wish. The pizza pump is my favourite!
The inside looks like it might be called "Madigans" or "Gladigans" or "Magicans" or something like that. Or if you just mulitplied its size several fold you would eventually generate a TGIFridays or an Appleby's. So...that's kind of a strike against it, despite the fact that it has not, in reality, been so multiplied in size.
It has dueling patios. One front. One back.
The food is better than it needs to be, but not good enough to matter. I favour the pasta primavera---it has broccoli.
Friendly staff, nice mixture of people drinking there most nights.
Vague literary (perhaps Newfoundland literary?) theme which emerges as you approach the rear of the establishment.
There's no point in this review, because it isn't a destination and if you lived nearby you'd have already been here. -

Dingy and dark.
Not overly inexpensive ($17 a pitcher for Mill Street Organic- next time I guess I'll get Labatt 50).
Cheesy pizza people at the table seemed to like.
Patio if not too busy is where you should head- although it is small, so if it's a busy day it may be tough.
Unless you're into watching TV while you socialize....just go to the Emmet Ray right beside it. -

Before I "really" moved downtown, during the transition days of painting and shifting of possessions, my roommates and I relied on tasty grilled chicken sandwiches from Brass Taps to sustain us while working into the night. We were (at least, I was) not quite oriented, unaware of what stretched out in either direction beyond the couple blocks at College and Dovercourt.
Four years later, I find myself relying on this establishment for late-night take-out meals and impromptu get-togethers, particularly when laziness or inclement weather hinders movement (it's located about 50 feet from my front door).
Yes, it started out as a relationship based on convenience, but has evolved into a very specific source of craving-- for their rather awesome sweet potato fries, steak sandwiches (whose awesomeness admittedly sometimes fluctuates in its take-out form), and delicious array of pizzas. I usually find myself ordering the first one I tried, by chance, when I finished a friend's leftovers (#10, Ortolana), but find their lunch special (1/2 of a pre-determined pizza and salad for $5.99) the perfect opportunity to adventurously sample which ever number from 1-27 they have selected for me that day. A similar deal exists with pasta and soup and sandwich options for around the same price, FYI.
Wireless internet, friendly service, a consistently kickass playlist, and a cool. unaffected crowd, help round out the experience that adds up to more than mere proximity. -

Went to Brass Taps on College. I have been going to both Brass Taps locations for years. Hearing something here also about the blonde waitress and service. Strangely, when bill arrived, she took the total amount in the tray, belted out "You are good for change?" Didn't wait for an answer, and said "Thank you!"..... Usually about a 15-20% tipper regardless. But found this move odd. Food is always great there. I like the Mexican and Mystic Pizza. Wings are ok too! One of the only decent spots where you can get good pizza, beer and wings in Toronto. Whattup with the blond though?

Nice traditional pub kind of pub. Lots of wood, lots of beer, good, filling food options and some sports on the telly. I lived literally right around the corner from this place during my stay in Toronto so it was an attractive idea to throw on some shoes head to Brass Taps and grab a beer or see if they were showing the tennis match I was missing out on. (Sadly that one night they weren't.)
So they have good location and environment, good beer (location of my first Alexander Keith's) in large quantities and good pizza (also in large quantities). So yeah, "Yay! I'm a fan." -

I used to live really close to here and was a regular for a bit. This place has a great, hip but unpretentious atmosphere. The music is always good, the beer is priced decently and they have pretty tasty pizzas ranging from traditional style to gourmet.
It's not just good for pub fare in the evenings but they have a pretty decent, full brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday. -

This is a tough review.
I liked the look/feel of the place. Very "me".
The beer selection was sub-par for a place that is called Brass Taps. I want you serving micro brews from around the world. Fosters doesn't count.
I was bummed. Until... I had some of the food. Very good. The pizza was fresh and tasted great. Sadly, I'd go back for the food and suffer through a pint. :) -

Great breakfast, really really good fish and chips (surprisingly so), and a pizza selection that will make your mouth water. It's not a "classy" place, just a good old pub, where you can have some great food and relax with friends. It's also not excessively loud, which is a definitely plus... no one likes hearing a bad music selection over their friends.

Great location, Good pizza, Great selection of beer. The only complaint would be the lame Jalapeno poppers!
