Lakehead Beer Company — Restaurant in Thunder Bay

How do I possibly describe the beauty of this spot? It has such a warm, inviting feeling as soon as you walk in. The aesthetics are to die for. The silver gleam of the vats against beautiful wooden tones. The tables are created for conversation, allowing you to unwind and sit with friends and/or family. The variety of beers along with affordable pricing makes this spot a must! The amount of creativity that is required to put this small business together is unreal. The Beer is the clear hero… but I will take an amazing environment built for people who want to have a relaxing night out. The back patio and restaurant provide for more space to gather. Congratulations to the owners. You did an amazing job.

Update: Cannot WAIT to visit my favourite vacation location again this summer. Sadly had to miss last summer and it devastated my husband and I. We will be back with bells and whistles on. Best owners ever and their staff are so incredibly personable and friendly....

I can not recommend this brewery enough. Not only is the locally brewed beer amazing (my personal favourite being the pilsner) but the atmosphere is what really makes the place. The space is eclectic and casual, the music is always on point and the staff always make you feel so welcome. The brewery is teamed up with Tomlin restaurants “subdivision pizza” on site, giving you the option to grab a snack or deep dish pizza while you enjoy a brew fresh from their many taps (non beer options also available). There is never a shortage of events going on that make lakehead beer a perfect spot to stop on your night out. Whether it’s a casual beer and some snacks with your friends on a Tuesday, open mic night on Thursday or a disco party on a Saturday lakehead beer never misses!! 10/10 recommend if you are looking to try out a new...

I was recently there in Thursday June 5 2025 to do the open mic night on the patio. We started inside. The staff was friendly and helpful with my open mic questions. We then later moved to the outside patio where they added a bar. It looks and feels like it had always been there. Again, staff answered my questions and engaged in friendly banter. While we waited for open mic to start my husband and I played corn hole. A child at a picnic table nearby was cheering us on, it was really sweet! I did a song, got a free beer and danced a little. All things I love. And it all started around 7:30/40 so an early night which is good when you have a sitter at home! Would highly recommend, even if you don't want to sing just a chill...
