The Loose Moose is a lively bar in downtown Toronto favoured by locals and out-of-towners since 1989. Their fondness may have something to do with its beer selection.

With inventive plates, generous portions and the cleanest taps in the city, this is a bar you’ll likely come back to — plan or no plan.

We had a great experience here for brunch. Manager greeted us and spoke with us for a few minutes. Checked in again with us during and when we were leaving. Staff were very friendly. Food was nicely presented, Great selection, everything we tried was delicious. Good selection of shrimp, oysters, mussels as well as prime rib, porchetta and salmon. Baked goods, scones, croissants as well as standard breakfast staples pancakes, sausage, etc. We booked the table for 10:30am and were literally the first people there. Was quiet while we were there but people started coming in closer to the end of our stay. Would definitely recommend. Found out about this location on social media review and it didn’t disappoint. Will definitely be back.

We had a team lunch with 8 people and had a great booth that fit all of us comfortably. Our server was very attentive and our food arrived very quickly after ordering. Everyone said their food was really good…I had the beet and goat cheese salad which was very yummy! Overall great spot for a team lunch…thanks Goodman Pub!

Tammy, our server, made the evening! She enjoys her work and it shows. She was very helpful in selecting vegan options for dinner. We all told her we’d see her again on a return visit. She’s amazing. Food is fresh and excellent. -Keith
