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. After all, with over 65 varieties on tap, repeat visits are kind of a given, especially for lovers of Canadian craft. Beer isn't the only thing we have to brag about. 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.

As always the Moose never disappoints. It is always lively whether an event is going on or not. The Notorious MAC is great if you like Big Macs, but the Moose is better. Beer was cold and lots on tap. Service was great also.

We had reservations. After waiting for 25 min and asking for a server twice, left without ever seeing a server at our table. No one even came to take our drinks. When we informed the host that we were leaving nothing was done to fix the situation.

There was issue's with not sufficient staff working that evening as such service was ok... tables were switched from one server to the next during our time there. Bit confusing and not consistent with our other times at the Loose Moose.

I walk past this place everyday, and thought id finally give it a go. I had low expectations, as it looks small outside and you can't see how busy it gets. This place blew me away. Outstanding service, one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had (ordered regular cheeseburger with veggie patty) and cheap drinks. This will now be a regular of mine. I'm so happy I didn't want any longer to try it out! I can't stop raving about it to friends. Give it a try!!!!

The food was excellent, we both had burgers, the Woody and the Jal A Peno, with fries. However we were seated right in a corner, surrounded by tables of men obviously on a working meet up, not a great atmosphere for a couple like us on vacation.

It was a bit quiet on a Tuesday night with no Leafs or Raptors game. Service was excellent and everything we ordered (nachos, wings, fries, burger) was very good. Typical bar fare but good quality and good value.

We ordered drinks, appetizer and entrée at the same time because we knew what we wanted. The appetizer and entrée arrived at the same time. The drinks a while later. We opted to eat the entrée while it was hot and to box the appetizer. The food was very good and it arrived quickly. Service was a bit hot and cold. Still a very good place for a quick tasty meal.

It was great! We had many drinks. Server was good, until it was "tipping" time. We tipped $10, no one is obligated to tip more. Server embarrassed me and said this is what I get for giving you a good service? I was surprised and took out a 10 and gave it to him and left. I hope that server doesn't work there anymore. I believe his name was Jonathan? (Caucasian guy with white/greyish hair) People need to understand that it isn't mandatory to tip. This is tough times and these businesses should be happy they are getting customers. I would visit again because we enjoyed the food and the drinks. But surely hope that people like that who are getting paid $14.50/hr plus making tips realize that people are NOT obligated to tip. They want to. Period. I hope the establishment educate their servers a little better.

Awesome. So great to be back. People need to get in here and start packing the place. Great food, great service, awesome booze. One of our go to places that got hurt by this Pandemic crap and with no patio they had to close. Go support and grab some beers and wings damn it.

Made the reservation on Open Table a week before trip to Toronto for a Trade Conference. I added two more colleagues during the Conference and an additional one two hours before our reservation. The ages of our party ranged from 30-62 years. We had an amazing time and I personally enjoyed my “smoked” old fashions (been on the search for them since I arrived in Toronto). We enjoyed appetizers of Fried Pickles, A Pound of Fries and 2 types of wings. Entrees were delicious. I personally had the Nashville Chicken.

It was really really loud and difficult to have a conversation. I think the reason was the music was so loud so people had to shout to talk to each other over food and that rose the level of noise. As people left, the noise level reduced. If the place would just lower the music level, I think the experience will be much better.

Very good experience, service was tops too. Only comment is my diet Coke had no gas in it, probably being first served of the day. I'm sure they would have changed it, but I didn't think to ask at the time. But I always liked Loose Moose, especially the latter-day incarnation with the impressive beer selection. On that score, my only suggestion is to see if Guinness would send you its outstanding Foreign Export Stout on draft. That would be a coup!
