We love The Abbot - great food and not in a "great for a pub" kind of way, just really well-prepared, creative, homemade tasting food. Very good wine and beer selection as well, and the service is always spot on, even when the place is full which is often. People know a good thing and that's why the restaurant is consistently popular.

Fav local bar. Solid drinks and super tasty appetisers
I feel like im in England when im here the place is so cozy and warm.
Dinner time this place can be family type. Not really just a pub but more a nice restaurant. Brunch food as well!
A bit pricey but worth the food and good times -

The Abbot Pub is the first pub I been to that has so many young kids (under 10 or younger!). This place has more kids than any of the McDonald I been to on a Saturday Night!
Meeting my Yelp Drinking Buddy for a pre UYE/dinner drink, the Abbot Pub has this friendly and welcoming vibe. I seated myself at one of the high tables at the back of the pub facing the bar. Bartender was quick in acknowledge me and got me a menu right away!
Draft Beer selections is OK, but not too extensive and so are the bottles.
Watching CP24 and waiting for my YDB to waltz in late as usual... but I felt right at home and comfy at The Abbot Pub. Maybe I forgot I am in a watering hole instead of a family restaurant with all these young familes around me?
There was a wait for the table by the time we ready to leave!! I never seen Pub so busy at 6pm?! -

My boyfriend and I frequent this gastro-pub for the delicious food, great beer selection and friendly effective service. As a young couple we usually languish over our cheese and beer crock with drinks. The cheese dip is amazing, and the bread served with it is even better, if you are economical with your dip the servers are happy to bring out a little more bread. Also try the spicy buffalo shrimp, huge and tasty with just the right spice.
For drinks the selection is perfect; he has weihenstephaner hefeweissbier on draft, a delicious cloudy wheat beer with the best creamy finish, and I a glass of house white.
We never feel rushed or out of place amongst the families, older couples, single guys at the bar and young couples like us.
Be sure to check out the specials board where the chef uses local and seasonal items to create some most spectacular dishes. Perhaps the best thing I ever ate was a halibut mille-feuille that was so beautifully presented the servers took pictures of it before it made it to my table (still piping hot!). -

This is pub located near where I live. Driven and walked by it many times, always buzzing with people, but never really been until about a couple months ago when I had some friends from out of town visit.
The staff was very approachable; we were seated right away and presented with menus quickly. We sat near the back, on high tables. I thought the stool style chair was going to be uncomfortable but my butt was fine.
I ordered the fish and chips, while my friend ordered a chicken salad. Here is why I ended up giving the place three stars--my fish and chips were absolutely fantastic. Light crispy batter, flaky fish that was moist. Fantastic crunchy hand cut fries. Fatty tar tar sauce and fatty coleslaw. What could be better, right?
Well, the salad for starters.. ok ok, so who orders salads at a pub, I know. But hey, we wanted some greens in our systems. The chicken was definitely out of a box and appeared to have almost been.. dare I say, microwaved?? It definitely was not the grilled chicken type, that was for sure.
So it was a mixed bag experience from the food point...
As for the ambiance, the customers were on the very loud side. Especially the heckling middle aged cougars next to us. I know it was noisy in there, but was there a need to add even more decibel to that mess?
Anyway, I would definitely go back just for the fish and chips.. which I probably only eat a couple times a year, so it will not be a frequent visit for me. -

Not quite as transcendent as when it opened in the late 90s, but still a cosy spot with good food and a great beer list. The chocolate mousse is not to be missed.
It can be difficult to get a table around six, when it fills up with young families and couples; to get a booth, arrive before 5:30 or after 8. -

I have been there a couple of times. The staff are friendly, and the beer selection is pretty good.
The number of food choices are good for a pub; typical British fare. That can be good or bad depending on your point of view. the last time around I had the burger. It was bland, and pretty much tasteless. Nothing compared to the burger I had at Foggy Dew in the King West neighborhood.
This is a good place for older folks, with kids. For others, not sure I'd really recommend it. -

Wander down the street to The Abbot for good beer and pub food. This is a great spot frequented by local young adults and families alike. Busy most nights, you may have to wait a few minutes for a table for dinner, but you can always grab a drink at the bar while you wait.
*Tip* You can eat anything from the menu at the bar if you manage to snag a seat. -

When you think Abbott don't think pub--think amazing restaurant with an excellent on-tap beer selection. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is always relaxed and suitable for families or just the guys.

Great neighbourhood pub. Friendly bartender. Top notch pub food, kids are always welcome, at least early evening. Generally run into at least one neighbour.
