Mascot Brewery and Restaurant - Toronto — Restaurant in Toronto

This was my first time in Mascot Brewery and I really liked it. It is located in a bust district with lots of restaurants and bars around and compared to all thos places I found this place more casual and less noisy which is a real bonus.

Our host Molly was amazing !! She was there whenever we had any questions and provided us lots of useful information, very kind, friendly and fast.

I had one flight of 4 beers. Normally a flight consists of several 3 to 5-ounce pours from a draft beer dispensing system. This is great if you want to taste a bunch of different varieties.Their affordable cost and customizable experience are why flights are so appealing. In Mascot Brewery each glass in flight costs between 3.25 to 3.75 CAD based on the variety. They have some beers which are always in their menu and some seasonal varieties.

The flight come in 4 glasses in a wooden base. We were served 4 beers which were link up, screwface, chocolate daddy and haze IPA. It goes from light to strong one on the base.

Link up is brewed from RYE MALT which gives it a bready base, it has a distinct grapefruit flavour to it. It is 5% ABV, very pleasant to drink. It is pretty cool that some of proceeds from this beer is donated.

Screwface is ABV: 6.5%. It us west coast India beer with fruity taste mostly grapefruit, blackcurrant. Stronger then "link up" variety, yummy taste.

Chocolate daddy is a strong one with 6.6% ABV. It is dark in color, tastes dark chocolate like also coffee and fruity taste. Feels very strong taste in first sip but gets very pleasant once you continue drinking.

Haze IPA has 5.7% ABV. Thus one has the strongest taste and also after taste for me. It sure will please string beer fans.

I liked all the beers I tried here !! The establishment is fantastic. This is definitely the kind of place that I would go with my friends to drink beer and have some bites from their menu in a clean and comfortable environment where I can actually hear them and can speak in a normal volume. Plenty of tables and chairs in this brewery as well.

I will keep in mind that they are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Overall it was great experience. Thanks to our host and Molly and our yelp organizers for all...

Before I start the review, I have to tell you the back story first. My wife and I went to Toronto for a concert yesterday (we’re from Buffalo, NY). We got a recommendation from a local store owner to go to a cocktail bar that had oysters (this was such a great recommendation because we love both). As it turned out this establishment was closed for a private party but we were hungry (and thirsty). Low and behold, Mascot Brewery was right next door. Now we normally don’t go to breweries anymore (have been to over 100 and worked in several) due to my inability to digest beer (saddest moment of truth when you get older). However, we just needed something. From the moment we stepped foot in there, I knew we were going to enjoy it. The “hostess,” Cas who was actually our server was amazing. Went on the back patio and really enjoyed the atmosphere. My wife started off with a great cocktail and I had a beer (I know, just putting fuel on the fire) but the beer (west coast ipa) was absolutely delicious. We got another round of cocktails, both different off their specialty menu and got a smash burger and fries. The fries were to die for (I know, how can you screw up fries), honestly, working in the industry and being huge foodie, YOU CAN! The smash burger was amazing. MUST TRY! Also, the cocktails were very good. Cas and the other staff (bartenders and server) were extremely welcoming, attentive, and after they found out we were from out of town, they were even more personable. Being a manager of a restaurant, this is what you like to see in the staff. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Would highly recommend this establishment and will be back in a couple of...

Mascot Brewery is situated across from Roy Thompson Hall and steps away from St. Andrew Station. They have an open basement bar that consists of bar stools and long communal tables, providing ample seating and standing room for customers. Sad to say, we would only come back for a quick drink and not for the appetizers.

During our visit, we had a minor hiccup with our reservation of 16 people and were initially assigned a significantly smaller table that could comfortably accommodate only 10. Fortunately, the manager and on-site staff were quick to mend our situation as the table could not fit 16 seated comfortably. The service and staff were great! We felt well taken care of with their attentive customer service, especially in addressing our initial reservation issue.

If you're visiting Mascot Brewery, only go for their beer, as the appetizers ordered were very disappointing. The menu included a variety of appetizers, including Teriyaki Burnt Ends, Bang Bang Cauliflower, a Cheese board, Truffle fries, Brussel sprouts, and Mascot fries. The quality and taste of the food were lacking, either overseasoned or poorly cooked. The Teriyaki Burnt Ends were very literal and did not really appeal to us. The Brussel Sprouts, particularly, were tossed in an excessively salty gochujang sauce. The fries, too, were lacking in crispiness and were somewhat soggy. We would have loved to enjoy the appetizers but the taste, quality and quantity were not worth the value at full price. Another note though, maybe an off-day but the mixed gin and ginger ale tasted pretty diluted and resembled...
