Otherwise known as "The Three Brewers" this pub is more like a beer hall, located right in the centre of it all across from The Eaton Centre. So if you're around Yonge and Dundas Square and need to get a quick pint, this is your place.
VIBE
BUSY. Always bustling. This place is perfect for large groups. Lots of floors. The wait staff seem harried and overwhelmed especially with larger groups. I don't blame them. They seem to have a system in tact and give everyone a number so they can settle the bill. Always ensure to have split bills here or otherwise, it's going to be a nightmare!
Also, it's dark and loud. I can still have a decent conversation though.
I DRANK
If you're looking for your brand name pint, you ain't getting it here. Everything is in-house from their brewery. There's quite a few selections. I had the Blonde. And if you want a demi (or a half pint), done and done. Plus, for under $5 for a demi-pint you really can't go wrong. The food and ordering can take a while. Once you sit down, know what you want or otherwise, it's going to take a while! It's your standard pub fare but the fries were tasty!
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK

It's a chain bar/restaurant based out of France. So think Gabby's, but with French style and flavour. The house beers are better than your average Molson/Labatt brew and the food is solid as long as you stay within the house theme. The frites are great and the seasonal Octoberfest platter (3 kinds of sausages, schnitzel, pork loin and saurerkraut) was an great choice for two.
The vibe is corporate gastro-pub. Take that as you will, but it's well-executed and proves there is more to French food than wine and haute cuisine. It's a hike to the washroom if you're sitting in the front. And it can get rammed on party nights.
I like it better than every other corporate sit-down restuarant in the Eaton Centre area and will go there again. -

If you like to try new beer. This is the only place to go worth while in the downtown area. Located right at Yonge and Dundas, this place has the most interesting selection of home grown beer I've seen in a long time. Their pizzas are very good as well.
It has a nice friendly pub type atmosphere and the staff are very friendly even when it is busy. They are always making up new beers so you know you've come to the right place by the intoxicating smell.
Can't go wrong with this place. Just wish it was a little faster with the service on the lunch hour. -

I quite liked this place. The food, we had the Provencale Flammekueche (some sort of pizza'ish thingy) and it was delicious. We didn't really try anything else on their menu, another time perhaps.
Their menu selections were interesting and their pricing was on par with pretty much every other place in that area (Yonge/Dundas).
We loved the beers. We ordered the "metre of beer" which is basically a selection of 10 1/2 pints of their various beer offerings. I personally loved the Brown beer which was a blend of caramel, chocolate and coffee...Mmmm. I also tried their pumpkin beer which had a bit of a sweet taste with a spicy kick...loved it as well.
I enjoyed the overall ambiance of this place. Everyone there seemed to be having a good time.
My only complaint is that you have to walk, for what seems like days, to get to the bathrooms. Two flights of stairs and all the way to the back of the room, past the glassed in, on-site brewing operation. I guess that's one way to get you to see where they brew their beer.
I quite enjoyed my time there and will definitely go again and try more of their food offerings...though with a name like 3 Brewers, I suspect the beer is probably the main event.Listed in: 30-Day Yelp Challenge,…

A misdt the chaos at yonge and dundas, trying to get away from the crowds that attacked streets for Nuit Blanche, I found myself in the closet resto.
There was a bit of a line up that night (expected) but we somehow only waited maybe 10 minutes for a table.
Our gracious server showed us to our table, It took me a few minutes to realize that the menus were already on the table, They are called The Gazette and look like news papers!
They have a great selection of beers brewed on site. However I needed all my strength that night to fight through the growing crowds outside so I had to pass on the alcohol.
The menu consists on typical pub fare, open faced sandwiches, and there specialty the "flammequeche", or Flamm for short - an Alsatian-style open-faced pie served with varied toppings aka super thin crust pizza.
I was sold on that and got the Three Cheese Mozzarella - gruyère and cheddar cheese topped with smoked ham. It was reallly good!! Very flavourful, super thin crust almost like a tortilla with crispy edges and flavourful toppings!
The have a good dessert selection ranging from sweet "flammequeche", creme brulee, cakes, and pies.
I opted for the Chocolate Moussee and a Cappuccino. The Cappuccino was pretty good and came with a little sugar cube and Chocolate Moussee was really good too, crowned with whipped topping and chocolate sauce, it was nice a thick, and a good chocolatey flavour.
FYI the washrooms are a trek upstairs, none on the mainfloor however on your trek upstairs there is a barrel of peanuts on the stairs, so make a pit stop and fill up your compliamentary bag.
Overall great friendly and prompt service, yummy "flammequeche", freshly brewed beers on site, and free peanuts! -

Love the food and hate the beer.
Not a fan of their beers - HOWEVER that have an interesting 'sampler' of their 4 beers I believe?? Goes the the golden brand to the amber dark ale (yuck!). I also tried their Maple Beer that is bottled from Montreal - that was quite interesting as well but I wouldn't go for that again.
I love their set up of the main bar downstairs but there is additional seating upstairs as well. You can munch on some peanuts if you're just there for a game and some drinks.
If you're going to food you have to get the Flat bread pizza. You can't go wrong and they are perfect for sharing.
Can someone tell me what is up with the bathroom situation??
They should really have one downstairs on the main floor.
Make sure you're not busting to go to the bathroom because you have some hiking to do - 3 flights of stairs and then all the way across... it's a little bit much!
Overall though a nice place and always full with people.
I won't penalize them for me not liking their beer because that is everyone's choice, but I would definetely go here again to watch a game with a crowd of friends :) -

HUGE place. We were there on a Sunday, but the 3rd floor was closed. The food selection is pretty great. I thought the beers were interesting, and I like all kinds of beer, but nothing really struck me as great. Probably just 2 or 3 star beers, if you ask me.
The service was outstanding, however. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the beer, asked us quietly what the kids wanted to drink (understanding that some parents don't want their kids to drink soda, you, my dear, get a +5 in my book), and made suggestions.
It's definitely worth a shot. -

This place could easily be lazy, not even try and still be successful because of it's location. If you want proof, take a look at the Hard Rock Cafe or Mr. Greeenjeans. They get away with selling mediocre-at-best food, at inflated prices and have been in that area for years. Whoa re we kidding? MOST places on Yonge between Dundas and Queen are pretty bad, and the Eaton Centre is the worst for it. So I was pleasantly surprised to see that this place puts in more than an effort. I'm not a beer drinker but the next time I go I'm definitely trying the 'Metre of Beer'. There is a lot of good variety here and, unlike a lot of places that offer variety just for the sake of having variety, all of the stuff can go together. Being my first time there, I thought I'd play it safe by ordering like a tourist and went with the 'Tex Mex Platter' which has onion rings, jalapeno poppers (6? SIX!), delicious chicken wings that weren't your average, run of the mill 'mild' sauce. There were also little deep fried... ummm... what are they? They look like miniature spring rolls, but were more like flautas. And an interesting dip that looked like a really dark, really creamy relish but tasted more like a calm green curry. And by calm, I mean 'not burning the inside of my mouth'. They also make a great salad dressing (from beer) for their 3B green salad that I highly recommend. Also, the wait staff are incredibly helpful and informative and pleasant and never seemed like they're annoyingly rushed off their feet. And given how much running up and down the several flights of stairs that are there, I don't know how they do it. I will definitely be going back. Also, the banana chocolate flamm (pictured on the menu) was one of the best desserts I've had in Toronto so they should be commended on that.

Les 3 Brasseurs (aka L3B, The 3 Brewers) is a fun French gastropub that is steps away from Dundas Square.
I'm not sure why the other reviews are so hard towards this place. Their beers are good (brewed on loaction), it's a nice multi-floored atmosphere, with decent food. I had their flatbread (pretty much a pizza) when I checked the place out last week.Listed in: Best of T.O

Came here mainly for the beer since the food reviews I saw here weren't so hot. Place was packed on a Monday evening with a line waiting to get inside for a table. Really surprised me especially on a Monday.
Sat at the bar and ordering the sampler of 4 shots of different brews. Beers were good but nothing hit me over the head like the brews at Mill St. do. Bartenders were pretty slow and it took a long time to get my check so I could get out of there. I'm not sure I'll come back but I likely will just to see if the food quality improves. -

Meh-diocre.
The menu is fairly standard - burgers, pizza, chicken wings, sauerkraut, and a good ol' attempt at a healthy salad - and things are reasonably priced.
It's neat that the beer is brewed 'fresh on site' - but this also limits your selection. With nothing else, other than their own, you're stuck with a choice of 5 3 Brasseurs beers. The blonde is quite nice, but that day I really wanted a Rickard's white. Drat!
Don't try the pizza, it's fairly average and disappointing. And we all know, I love a good pizza.
The staff was nice, but it was packed and service was a little slow. All in all, a very average dining experience. -

I read some of the reviews - maybe my palette isn't as refined but I was very happy with the special brew today (tues. April 5) maybe it was the unexpected fact that I had an hour to kill sans enfant and so aftershave might have tasted wonderful but I don't think so.
Also got a forgettable appetizer but would gladly return for another pint. -

I was SO excited to try this place out but it really fell short. Three Brewers is packed and enormous but leaves me wondering how?
First of all, my drink. Maybe it's my bad for not going for straight up beer but I got a "Monaco" beer cocktail. The thing has their blonde beer, grenadine, and Sprite. Love it! A pint came out in a huge mug with a lime wedge. It all sounds great in theory but in actuality, it tasted kind of metallic and was not pleasant to finish.
One thing I really did like was the menus. They look like newspapers! I digress.
Off this good looking menu, I ordered a roasted lamb sandwich. It's another thing that sounds like it will be incredible but didn't pan out. Looking back at the menu, there was supposed to be caramelized onions, slow roasted lamb, chopped tomatoes, and Swiss cheese on a fresh baguette. The onions and Swiss cheese totally did not show up to the party! So basically what was there was just a mound of over-sauced lamb and pale tomato cubes. The meat itself wasn't even great, shaved very thinly but all attached. I got a Cesar salad on the side which is a little extra and it was typical.
In short, the items I ordered did not live up to the grandness off the space and all of the hype one can hear. Service was fine and all the pieces seem to be there. They just have to pull themselves together on the plate. -

I'm genuinely shocked at the ratings this place is getting. Okay, I didn't come here for the beer, nor did I come here during dinner time, but the tex mex burger I had for lunch today was one of the best burgers i've ever had! The salad i substituted for the fries was also delicious without having to much dressing on it. I stole some fries from my friend and secretly wished I didn't do the substitution. Our server looked tired, but very friendly. I actually would not mind coming back for lunch again tomorrow!
I also really like the whole ambience of the bar. The way the stairs are set up actually reminds me of the bars i've been to in Berlin. Love the feel of the place! -
Review from sub z.

People are straight up being way too hard on this place. I am very experienced with the Montreal locations, especially the one at Crescent & St-Catherines, but I also have been to this one at Yonge & Dundas a couple times now.
They've got some tasty beers, including a white which is incredibly refreshing in the summertime.
They know how to use those beers to mix with other alcohols to please the non-beer drinkers such as my girlfriend.
And their food, while nothing special, is better than your average Turtle Jack's or Firkin Pub, so what's with all the shit reviews?
Too trendy to hate a place for the wrong reasons -- and unfortunately, I don't put much stock into almost any of these reviewers below me because most of them fail to even describe the brews or what their problems were, other than complaining about a deep fried appetizer like they're expecting something spectacular..
Do yourself a favor and be your own judge, don't listen to these other yahoo's for the wrong reasons. Prices on the beer aint bad either, and they've got the awesome 1 Litre dimpled stein glasses -

Last night a group of us decided to go out for dinner. Someone had decided ahead of time to go here and I agreed to come along.
It took us about 20 minutes to get seated (a group of 8). Granted we did not make any reservations but the hostess kept on trying to get us seated at the bar in the meantime (while a table cleared up) despite us constantly telling her we preferred to just wait. After a 20 minute wait, we got two back to back booths, not even a single table, but at this point we were just too hungry to care. Earlier I mentioned the Yelp reviews about this place and at this point people were already rolling their eyes with dissatisfaction.
I made the mistake of telling the waitress I had never been to the place before and so we got a mini-lecture on the place. Do yourselves a favour and say you've already been here. You'll save yourself 5 minutes of your life. I ordered a litre mug of their blonde beer and my friend ordered the amber. The blonde wasn't very good, not much more to say about that. I tried my friend's amber and it was slightly better so maybe go for that instead. Most other people just ordered water and noted that their beer cocktails taste terrible from previous visits.
Like everyone else has said, the food menus were pretty average and the food selection was nothing special - your typical pub food. I opted for the calzone flamme, simply because I kept hearing it on the radio and figured it would go pretty well with the beer. In case you don't know, a flamme is esentially a thin crust pizza with no tomato sauce. It's actually not bad but again, nothing special if you've had pizza in your life.
Overall, a pretty average experience. One thing we did realize is that there was a barrel of peanuts that you could self-serve anytime. They even have little paper bags in case you want to take some with you. -

I am surprised at some of these reviews as well.
Just returned to the states from my first visit to the lovely city of Toronto, and this was the only brewpub I was able to visit. While I had hoped to visit a more "beery" place, I was with my wife and mother-in-law so this place seemed to be a good compromise for the three of us. Visited on a crowded Friday Night.
My wife ordered the Thai salad, my mother in law opted for the chicken and ribs, and I went for the braised pork shank, replete with baked potato and sauerkraut. We all gave the food high marks. Not the best we've ever had, but damn good. Not a complain amongst us.
My wife and I ordered the beer sampler, and both agreed that all styles were up to snuff. After deciding that I favored the amber, I ordered a full litter mug - which for being in a big city in the heart of downtown was a great deal at $9.50. (or close to it) With a full litter mug of excellent beer and the meal I had to drink it with, I was in heaven. The three of us agreed we had made the right choice, and got a great value for our tourist dollar. I will go back here the next time I'm able to travel to Toronto.
When I think back to my three days in Toronto, that litter mug of Three Brasseurs Amber and the Hockey Hall of Fame are what I'll remember most. -

- i normally dont like chains, but thinking that one from quebec may be different.....
- this place is a tourist trap being feet from dundas square and next to the hard rock cafe
- the seasonal chestnut ale they had on special was ok... but nothing write home about.
- the flan (basically flatbread pizza from the alsatian region in france) wasn't too shabby though.
- next time i'm in montreal, i gotta hit up the french equivalent to see how the may or may not have botched ontarian franchising. -

I don't think I've ever seen a less inspiring food menu. Absolutely nothing looked remotely intriguing. Usually there is at least one thing, if not many, that fights for my attention. As a fallback, we settled on dessert - a banana flamm with ice cream and chocolate syrup, but even that failed to inject any pizazz into my day's nourishment. The flamm part was like a Ryvita crispbread. Isn't eating Ryvita the equivalent of when Clair Huxtable decided that Cliff needed to go on a diet and fed him nothing but plain rice crackers for a week on The Cosby Show?
It's near Yonge & Dundas, so perhaps they were hoping to be inoffensive with their food selections as most of their clientele sure consists of tourist spillover from Yonge/Dundas Square. -

Les Three Brasseurs est un crèche de brewski familier a la pure laine de Montréal go habs et la morlocks de Brossard joual. Les Three Brasseurs Labatt elles own brewski fait on prem. Or so they want you to believe. Si only three brasseurs mais la three hosties fait four brewskis de c'est types as follows:
la brewski de huit yeasty
la brewski de blonde strumpet
la brewski de red gingers
la brewski de nuit bitter
I wonder which brasseur tapette gets stuck making two beers?
Le brewski fait on prem est okay but nothing to write home about. La brewski est un peu expensive. C'est okay pour la franc-a-telephonez as long as c'est brewski est matched avec la dancer exotique lap dance. Am I right fellows? Mais je feel la prix pas matched avec un atmosphere stimulating et makez moi think avec mon baton rumpus to la extent je suis okay avec la prices.
Hein. On la upside, pas de morlocks de Brossard joual est ruining your fun dans c'est establishment Toronto d'universe centre. La patrons en c'est crèche de brewski vos est mostly les tourist de L'Etats-R-Us de Eh. I think Ohio. La location de horking distance de la Centre Depanneur 'Eaton c'est un petite comique pour la reasons only understandable a la pure lain quand moi. It's a Quebec thing. -

Went to this place twice in the last month. Figured the first time was just a bad experience, but the second experience was just as bad.
Went on a Monday night and arrived at 12:50 AM. They seated us and told us to order quickly as last call was coming up. (Last call??? Bar closes at 2AM!) And they should not be so pushy.
There were six of us so we were debating in getting 2, 3, or 4 pitchers. (Yes, we're beasts!)
We settled on two and told the waitress we would order 2 more on the next round. She said "ok."
So we get the beer, which I enjoy so that was fine. No peanuts. Two in our party had to go to the bar to get them. The place was warm and dim which I like but there were peanut shells everywhere and little effort to clean it up.
So we finish one pitcher and are down to just a little left on the final pitcher when the waitress comes back around 1:35 and asks anything for last call. We told her we'd get the other two pitchers we had talked about earlier. She goes on a long-winded speech about how she can't justify giving us two pitchers with two already on the table (they were practically empty) and she said she can give us a pint each if we want. Does that make sense?
So we can't get two pitchers which would give us about a pint and a half each, but we can still order just a pint each? This is just stupid. We could have said yes, but my night at this place was done for.
We were not drunk, disturbing the peace, or drinking recklessly. If she would have done her job and come around more often, at say 1:20 instead of leaving us alone for almost 35 minutes and rejected us THEN, we could have gone somewhere else with time to spare until last call.
So we ask for nothing else, get the bill and then head over to Jack Astor's up the street at the AMC for drinks on their amazing patio which looks over Dundas Square. We were given 3 pitchers at 1:55 AM, and then allowed to hang out until past 2:30AM. We told our waiter about our experience and he was shocked. I guess she was just shutting us down so that she could wrap up, bring the bill, and have us leave.
Good beer. Not bad service, but stupid service. -

I usually don't do this but I gave an extra star in the rating because the place is new and they are still working out their kinks but if all goes well they would shape up to be a solid 4 star maybe possibly a 5 star place. I've been to one in Montreal and it was great, let us hope The 3 Brewers live up to their potential.
Situated in the most busiest part of Toronto and amidst all the hustle and bustle of tourist traps and following tourists, The 3 Brewers is a refreshing and welcomed addition to the otherwise dry surroundings.
From the outside The 3 brewers doesn't look like much but once you step inside you are welcomed with a glass enclosed brew kettles, copper top polished bar, semi opened kitchen, booths and banquettes with dark would trim, excellent tile work, and flat screen televisions. The space inside is absolutely huge. There is a private looking area upstairs that is sectioned off with quarter height wood dividers. A second bar is located upstairs along with a second brew kettle and open barely storage. There is a 3 floor loft that would be great for a large party.
Upstairs is definitely the place to be but downstairs is still very nice. There's just a type of seclusion that happens upstairs that takes you away from the busy storefront filled with tourists that downstairs offers but I dare you to instinctively find the bathroom from entering the brewery. Ignore the signs and resist asking people, the location of the bathrooms will surprise you. Speaking of bathrooms, they are spectacular here. Not just because they are new but because of the tile, trim, and faucets chosen. There are even separate commodes with floor to ceiling privacy doors.
The beer here is what should be the star of the show. It does the job, good tasting beer in blonde, red, wheat, and dark flavors. Food here is a little better than your typical pub food. Try the flamm(pizza) as it has super thin crust and covered in cheese. It is a little thicker than a crepe if that helps put the thinness into perspective. The fries and poutine are also pretty good with excellent crisp and actual cheese curds.
Service here was hit and miss. A few servers didn't know the menu items/names and was unable to recommend a menu item. I'll give them slack as a lot of the servers had their first day the day I went in and they've only been opened a month.
Overall, a great place for beers and food. Beer and flamm deal is great value. Prices for drinks are reasonable as were the prices for food. If you are ever stuck at the Eaton Centre just cross the street and head into this place. You will be glad you did. -

Safe bet if you like your standard bar fare. Pizza and wings are good. I usually drink lighter beers and the blonde and white are not bad. Weekends are pretty packed. Service was on the mediocre side.

The is the first of the chain for Toronto conveniently located right at Yonge and Dundas. I wasn't actually planning on coming here on this particular evening but it was oppressively hot and I didn't want to walk much further.
I had been in Montreal and didn't find that it was much to praise about on that occasion but I hadn't tried the food for which I heard was pretty good. On this visit I got a pint of the Wheat Beer, which was pretty average, and I ordered the sausage and sauerkraut. Wow, what a mistake that was! The sausage was the driest thing I have ever tasted and the sauerkraut was flavourless. There was a baked potato on the side, but really, how could you screw that one up?
The food menu didn't really have anything too interesting on it so that's why I went with what I ordered. I can't recall ever having been to a place that didn't have at least one thing that really called out to me. Oh well.
The place is quite large and has an upstairs that I don't believe was in use on the Monday that I was there. As I was leaving, the West side, closest to the street, was getting packed with people.
Maybe what I ordered was a mistake but I don't think I'll be coming back here anytime soon unless it's just to tag along with friends to have a couple of beers. One cool thing is that they have 1L serving sizes of their four beers- you don't see that too often in this city! -

Wishing I read the review from Mike S. before this visit. Sausage so DRY I regret walking pass the Hotdog vendors from Union Station to get here.
Somebody here missed the lesson about how PORK FAT rules. I'm not talking about using it as a filler but this is definitely not considered a Sausage. You can call it "Lean Dry Ground Up Sh1t & Sauerkraut". I'm just glad there is no reference of any kind of this item relating to anything German, or else there'll be a Riot.
Surprisingly I was OKAY with the Beer as I tasted a couple, which means that the Beer wasn't that great because I am a complete Beer NOVICE in training. You can impress me with Beer, it's not a good thing.
Fries were the highlight as it was well-seasoned. The COMPLIMENTARY Peanuts served a good purpose and I found the STASH one level upstairs on my Quest for the Mighty Throne.
It was quite a journey of discovery that does make sense in a way as if you get a TOUR of the Brewery, so make sure you go take a PISS while you're here. Great place for Washroom & Peanuts!Listed in: On my way to Alcoholics…

I and others with me where standing at the end of the bar next to server station. She complained about every table she had and was rude to her coworkers. I would go on but it makes my turn red inside and out !!!!!!!!

Okay, lets get the important stuff out of the way.
The beer was lack-luster.
Alright, now that that has been taken care of... the food was very average and unexceptional, to the point that I cannot recall, at this very moment, what it was that I had for dinner (it was a sandwich, I think). My friend and I planned on having a quick bite because we wanted to get out of there so we could do some shopping at Eaton's Centre before everything closed; however, the wait staff had other plans in mind. Getting and paying the bill was a twenty-minute affair. We were fully ignored and it was a dismal experience.

On one cold night Vivian and I ventured out to grab some dinner, we were tired of our old haunts and thought we were try this place....it was my suggestion....a very BAD suggestion I might add!
When we arrived the place looked full, but didn't have a line, so we figure ok. Well we stood at the front for about 15 mins with out even being acknowledged by a staff member. There was no hostess or anything, just a stand with no one behind it. Some people behind us ventured around to find the washrooms, and when they returned they told us that they had a full 3rd floor that was empty.....so why was there a line? It's the holiday season and you're in the heart of Dundas square, expect to be busy! I finally grabbed someone who, btw didn't speak the best English, and demanded that our name be put on some kind of list. After another 20 min wait at the door we were finally seated....by the cold drafty door and window! I'm not happy at this point. Trust me, a cold, hungry redhead is not a good combination!
The server we had was either new, or just the worst server on the face of the planet! It took her forever to come greet us, forever to take our order and forever to clear our dishes. She didn't offer us nuts, like everyone else had and offered no advice on the menu. Speaking of menu, it lacked any selection and good choices.
Once the food came, it was blah...my chicken burger was so tasteless and the bun was so big it was stupid. The amount of fries was an upset as well. For $12 I expect more then that. Viv's pizza was so thin the cheese on it was thicker then the dough, and by the time she had gotten to the last slice it was cold.
When the bill came, we went to pay with interact....it was 2009 after all, and 99.9% of places have interact....but no, not this place!!! We were forced to use their ATM and pay the fee!! NOT COOL!!!
If I can save you all from going to this place, my 2010 will be a success. -

My husband is a fan of craft brewers.
I'm not a big fan of the 3 Brothers. I don't find the beer all that good (and I like beer!). We tried the flamm when we were there last month and it was so-so.
It's not a place I go rushing back to. -

Had an hour to kill before a movie starts at Dundas Square, Les 3 Brasseurs was a natural choice. The host was very nice and service was good. Beer was quite tasty so overall a good place for chilled freshly brewed beer.

I had a good time at Les 3 Brasseurs for a friend's good bye party.
They are a microbrewery, so they sell their own beer made in-house. They have a tasting option, where you get small glasses of each beer, which I found to be very useful. Spirits were pretty cheap priced too, if my memory serves correctly.
As for food options, it's your usual pub fare. Vegetarian wise, you are only limited to a few choices. I had the tomato and goat cheese flamm while my other vegan friend had the vegetarian flamm. While I definitely enjoyed mine, after a while it did seem to be a bit dull and I started to eye my friend's flamm.
The server was very friendly and helpful, even if we had a HUGE number of people. -

OK so we went into this place cause it looked kinda cool. Well not so much.
First of all because of the brewery this place smells like hops and stale peanuts. I'm NOT down. So we get sat by the hostess upstairs and there was one other table that got sat there as well. The server took 15 minutes to come to use. By that point the other table had left. Worst service ever. We ordered our food (whole another story there) And by the time our food came I still had not received my WATER?!?!? like are you pumping the spring in the back. I asked her 2 times for the water. Ridiculous. The food was so so, My boyfriend got some pizza that was garbage and I cant remember what i got because it isn't worth remembering. The smell alone was something i couldn't get used to, like a fart or the way your apartment building smells lol. We only stayed because we only had 1 hour for lunch and by that point there was no point in going somewhere else. I will NEVER go there again. Shit service and stale peanuts are not my forte. :) -

All signs point to tourist trap. I entered here with a friend out of sheer hunger, figuring that if all else failed at least I would get a good beer out of the meal. We both ordered burgers thinking they are always a safe bet - how bad could they be? We drank the seasonal chestnut ale, good enough. Our burgers arrived, overcooked to the point of curling, with a half melted kraft cheese slice and a limp piece of bacon on top. I did not want to put this burger in my mouth. I did, and it tasted like a bad high-school cafeteria burger - not meaty in texture or flavour- but something very wrong, a pressed frozen burger. This was the worst burger I have eaten in at least 5 years.

I went here two nights ago for a couple drinks and to catch up with a friend, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. The decor is very chain restauranty - someone's idea of what a brewery/restaurat should look like. I had the white beer which was fine and the LA wrap which was chicken/veggie and I substitued salad for the fries. My friend had an Italian pizza thing which was gigantic and actually pretty good. Nothing to write home about but I wouldn't mind popping in there again if I were in the area.

Otherwise known as the 3 Brewers, I went to this place because I have heard from quite a few people about this place. I believe the big hoopla round this place is that they make their own beer right on the premises. They only sell their beer, and they make a blonde, wheat, dark, amber, and a red ale. My wife and I ordered beers with a twist. One was a the wheat beer with banana liqueur, and the other was the blonde ale with creme de cassis and sprite. I figured I'd try something new. I don't know if I would get that drink again, it was ok but nothing that I had much of a taste for. You could definitely taste all 3 ingredients.
By looking at the menu, you can see that there is the usual pub style foods; burgers, wraps, salads, and some odds and ends stuff. I think there may be a little bit for everyone to find something they like. I had the L'Alsacienne flamm. I would say it tastes like a thin crust pizza, and the portion is quite large. I thought the flamm was good, but not mind blowing. I was impressed with the size of the portion.
My wife had the text mex burger. Again, nothing mind blowing about the burger, but I liked the bun they had, it was not just a hamburger bun, as the top was a little more crispy and harder crust. I thought it was a nice change of pace for burgers.
There were two things here that really stood out. The first being that there was less than 10 mins from when we ordered our food to when it was served to us. The second thing I really enjoyed their home made mayonnaise. It comes with any dish with fries and I'm not one for mayo dip with fries, but this one was good. It was a mild mayo with some spices (not spicy) giving it much more flavour.
I never got a chance to check out the whole restaurant, but I think this is a good place to grab a quick bite to eat, and maybe some of the beer enthusiasts will enjoy the site brewed beer. -

If you are a not a beer drinker, don't worry because they don't serve any here. Instead they have a variety of sewer water ranging from honey flavour, to sour milk. I ordered a blonde, but got a wit. Not feeling that picky I just went with it and it went down like drinking sweet and sour sauce from Mandarin. Not willing to give up I had a dark which actually hurt me a little. I didn't know a taste could be so terrible as to hurt. This is only after being lucky enough to actually get served. Its like a lottery, only when you win they poison you.
