Albatros Pub

Excellent low-​key Polish pub with a few great European beer choices, I highly recommend Czechvar-​a Czech Lager and Hacker Dunkel –dark Germal Lager.
My friends ordered chicken souvlaki and some kind of a schnitzel sandwich, both loved their food. I wasn’t hungry but the menu does have a few vegetarian sides that I can eat next time, might even offer mushroom perogies, I’ll check for sure next time I go.
Service was great, very attentive and we loved the large comfy booths that each can fit 10 people, really great for families and groups.
This pub is a must visit, located near a street car stop.

This is a stock-​standard polish pub. The food is very basic polish dishes, the pirogies aren’t bad but I tend to find everything I’ve ordered gets surrounded by too much cabbage/​salad. Beers on tap are standard, a few polish draughts but other than that it’s not somewhere I’d choose to go for anything other than a home-​made hot meal. It’s quite expensive for the area too.

The setting of the bar is very clean and gives a nice homely feeling. However it took the waitress forever to seat us, while other patrons stared and made us feel awkward. Waitress is not very friendly and doesn’t even smile. Food and pop was terrible. First and last time I will ever go to this bar.

Great little neighbourhood spot that my friends and I frequent on a regular basis. Watch some sports, great selection of beers and the food is good old classic pub fare with a strong polish selection of eats! I usually get the wings but the Albatross burger is fantastic!

$ 15 James ready pitchers. Great music. Delicious food. It’s a good place for Humber students to grab some beer and meet friends, as I did numerous times. Did I also mention my girlfriend and I had our first date here? A mutual friend invited us to hang out there with him individually, then he left after ten minutes and left the two of us to chat. We hit it off sitting in the sofa next to the bar, and have returned to that exact seat numerous times to grab a beer or wings or whatever we crave and relive it all over again. The atmosphere, food, and beer have a huge role in this, if it was a hole of a place, we probably wouldn’t have connected in the way we did, so for this, I am infinitely thankful to Albatros.

Our drinks took forever to get to us even when there is nobody here. Escargot isn’t bad though, but still gets a bad review.

I went here only ordered a bottle of fruit beer whichbis amazing. the price is reasonable. good place for hanging out

Coming into this little pub it felt a little dingy. But homey feeling. Anyway we were seated with our group of six and it took a bit of time for the waitress to get our drinks. We had ordered three of the platter for two and wow did that ever took a long time. I feel like the waitress should have came over to let us have a heads up of how much longer we would have to wait. My friend’s boyfriend’s water was refilled yet my friend’s water was also empty and the waitress didn’t fill hers up… I don’t know if they were short staffed or not but I did not like the waitress’ attitude. A little unpleasant.
There was a lot of food that came on these platters and I’m pretty sure that we could have shared two platters instead. The food almost made up for the sub par service. It came with two delicious schnitzels that had the taste slightly of a cinnamon beaver tail: D Very moist but crispy on the outside. Also came with some mixed perogies and sour cream, beet slaw, carrot coleslaw, and four potato pancakes. OMG I was so stuffed. The beet slaw was very tasty and creamy but not too creamy. It was just right.
I would come here again if I was in the area but I will not expect much service next time.

We go here for their wings. Done just the way I like them without any breading and they are coated in Franks hot sauce. Service has always been excellent.

I didn’t go here to have dinner. I went here to look for a bar to frequent in since I just moved in the area. So please keep in mind that the 5 stars is not for the food. It’s for service, drinks (tried all the beers), and atmosphere. LOVE the ambiance of this place. It has a European tavern feel to it. However, if they add just one more décor, the place would easily become tacky. Service is ok. I wish the bartenders would interact with customers who are non-​Polish (like myself) more. And I wish they would play some music too. But between the other bars in the area, Albatros is definitely going to be my home bar.

The service was pretty good, the atmosphere was cozy, and the food was excellent! I’ve never been to Poland, but this seemed pretty close. Best place I’ve found in the area to go out for a couple pints, and some excellent food.

My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant for quite some time now and we love this place. The interior is very well decorated and always follows the seasons theme. Thing we love the most is all the polish specialties. Pierogies, barshch, beef goulash, pork schnitzel even tripe. We never had a bad meal. Prices are amazing if you compare them to any frenchise restaurant, and portions are huge! Apetizers alone are like a meal each. If you have a good apetite and don’t want to brake your wallet that is the place. We will keep on coming back for as long as this place is open. Cheers

In the pub category on Etobicoke Lakeshore blvd, it might even be a four star!
I like this place. Etobicoke Lakeshore is not well served in terms of pubs so this place really does the trick if that’s what you’re looking for.
I don’t know the first thing about polish food so I can’t talk to that part of the menu. They have all the pub staples, of course. I’ve always liked their chicken wings. The service is fast and friendly.
They served their beer in icy cold glasses. You don’t see that everywhere, right?!
It’s got a warm atmosphere and you should see the place right now with Xmas decorations! It’s worth to go just to see that! It’s really something! If you live in the area and you try it, it’ll grow on you. You’ll find yourself going back.

Albatros has the classic pub food menu with the addition of some Polish favourites like pierogi, pork schnitzel, goulash and ogorkowa. It is not a fancy place or even the best place to try Polish food but the fair prices and friendly atmosphere make up for it. I found their pierogi and schnitzel to be too greasy. The highlight of this experience was the European beer list, which included some Polish brews like Zywiecv, Lech and Tyskie.

This is one of those pubs that make you feel like you’ve just fallen into a nightmare of trinkets. No inch of wall is left open for the eyes to rest. But, we’re here for the food and not the décor … or are we?
The food was not too bad. The borsch was nice, if not a little under seasoned. The perogies were well cooked, with a nice little fry at the end. The drinks were nice and cold.
All in all, it was a decent experience. Would I go back? Probably.
