The Irish Rose Pub — Restaurant in Toronto

So, this was sort of a surprise to everyone.

Me, because I had wanted to add this to my Summer Irish Pub Eponymous Burger Murdercycle Tour, and the owner's did not expect someone to order food right at 3pm open on Canada Day.

This didn't get added to my tour for several reasons - not being on the Murdercycle being the least of them.

However, the staff, shaking off their initial shock, rallied admirably!

No Eponymous Burger, no Murphy's on draught - but a Harp and a "tell me what you want, I'll make it" later, and I'm quite satisfied!

Nothing like being the first diner of the day - burger was excellent, obviously home made and cared about. Bacon was thick and just a slight char on the fat to show it had been cooked properly - hot and fast with attention. Fries are thin cut skin on, with delightful crispy bits.

Gravy was Pub Standard, but good enough for disco.

All in all at first blush, I'd love to have this place as my local.

Easy parking on Weston off hours, not sure how busy it would get.

Atmosphere is a 3 star because I'm here at the wrong time of day. But it's my favourite sort of small bar.

My sole "ew" was the smell of dirty astray when I walked in. However - I got there literally 10 mins after they opened. Staff cleaned this up fairly quickly as they were opening, and I mention this more as a "they're paying attention" than a complaint.

Good stuff. Ima...

Been there 3 years ago for late night drinks so i decided to go back. The price on the menu and the price they charged us on the receipt were completely different. I suppose they expect someone who has had a few drinks to not notice them inflating the price by ~10% BEFORE TAX. The bill was about $80 with tax when based off menu prices it should have been about $70 with tax. The owner was a complete asshole about it too and talked to me like i was stupid the entire time and admitted he gives EVERYONE that menu and then charges them something different than what the said price is. There are far better places in this city to drink warm beer for a 700%+ upcharge of what the establishment paid. I will not...

I found this lovely pub by accident! I was thirsty after dinner and wanted a drink. Since Covid many of the establishments have closed or relocated. The Irish Rose Pub had great reviews so I made the trek from Vaughn ON to investigate. The pub was welcoming with a great selection of beers and spirits. The kitchen was operational (no meals ordered) and the section for dart 🎯 throwing and competition was lively and festive! There digital jukebox was playing a great selection of music and can be accessed via a mobile app on your phone or from touch. Get over to The Irish 🌹and enjoy a pint of Guinness and a proper shot of Jamison! Don’t forget to tip the staff. They...
