Pubcrawl Help

Looking for a microbrewery or classic pub to have 50 guests for only an hour this friday. Amsterdam has relocated, and no longer has a bar. Anyone know of anything else similar? Looking in the downtown area, and a patio is a big bonus.

    Thank you for all of your help. After further research, we've decided to kick off the night at Fionn Mccolls at King and Spadina.

      I would suggest not going to C'est What, as a friend told me a service horror story which began with pulling 2 tables together... so I think accomodating a party of 50 would be the first problem to arise.

        The Flatiron and Firkin at Wellington/Front and Church has a large patio - at least it did when I was there a few years ago.

          Definitely Granite. It's a great place, and the food is pretty good too.

          Caffé Volo is another option too. Though they don't brew anything in-house, they have a great selection of local microbrews on tap, including some cask-conditioned options. I think the food is better at Volo.

            What about the Granite Brewery at Mt. Pleasant and Eglinton? They have two patios, one in front and one in a back courtyard.

            Also there is C'est What which is more downtown at Church and Front. Though they're not really a brew pub anymore they do have a ton of unusual draughts. No patio, though.

            If you're aiming to kick off a pub crawl, both of these are surrounded by many other bars and pubs within walking distance.
