Firkin On Yonge

I visit Toronto quite often and whenever I need to get some work done in a reasonably quiet (not as loud as a regular pub), I go here. They have wifi access and after lunch hours are not super busy (I usually go after 1pm until about 4pm). They have great drink specials, a wonderful staff and I’m certain I’ve met either the day manager or owner, who is also quite pleasantly wonderful. I would also recommend their food if you are into Irish pub eats (Irish nachos, wings, etc).

Crapy service. Food was ok. But when I asked for extra cream. They just didn’t have. So weird. I had to eat my vegetables super dry. But was good chicken. Not good service

Found myself here while wasting time waiting for someone by the Eaton Centre. Cannot comment on the food, but they have a good selection of taps and a nice atmosphere. It’s obviously a pub but doesn’t fall into being dark and dingy like many do. Good service and a nice atmosphere with a decent number of screens.

I thought I was socially awkward, the servers here are
… Weird. The woman serving us to begin with went MIA after dropping off the food. When a bus guy finally came to take the plates I asked if I could order drinks from him and he said yeah, so I started telling him the order and then he walked off mid sentence, yet somehow still managed to bring the correct drinks
Almost time for another round and still haven’t seen our original server… I’ve never had such odd patchy service.

Cool Food, Great Staff, and Nice beer/​Drink selection

came here after the first Kevin hart show, and was surprised to be seated right away, especially for a long weekend Saturday.
we were a group of 4 and had amazing service by a gentleman with a beard (sorry to have forgotten his name, I’m late with my review).
we had two apps shared and my friends had dinner — chicken tenders and wings.
the service was quick and the food was good for bar food.
only suggestion I have is making the Shepard’s Pie with Lamb — not everyone eats beef :(

I took my girlfriend out for lunch on Aug 15 2015 to this place. We always choose this place love the atmosphere. I ordered the London Porker and we’ll what can I say? It tasted awful, it taste like a permanent marker and all Chemical like. This place usually has great food but I couldn’t finish it.
Had to throw it out.
The service was great even though a Jay game was playing and it was busy.

Great service and great prices! Love coming here after work with friends. The draught is always cold and the Buffalo nachos are amazing.

Standard pub food. Friendly staff.
They had a nice house salad with greens, beats, pinenuts and goat cheese. The beets were very underdone and tasted a bit raw. Other than that it wasn’t too bad.
My friend got the butter chicken pie, which he said was good but slightly under salted.
Overall, a nice place.

In terms of hospitality and space, the Firkin on Yonge is perfect for small to medium sized groups. Their upstairs is a great area to either sit and eat or stand and mingle, and the staff is very accommodating.
My guests were very happy with the food they got (and obviously the drinks…) and my meal was good too.

This review is for drink service only: we didn’t eat there. Four of us sat at a table in the back. The ambiance was great, almost like a modern, brightly-​colored, artsy modernized version of a British pub. But it worked. The drinks were strong and our waitress was wonderful.

On our second day visiting Toronto, my family and I found ourselves at the Firkin On Yonge for dinner. The Firkin Pubs chain operates roughly 30 restaurants throughout Ontario. This location is just south of the Yonge-​Dundas Square, in the heart of the city.
The Firkin On Yonge offers two levels of bars and dining sections. A decent selection on Canadian craft beer is available on tap. I had the Mad & Noisy Brewing Hops & Bolts IPL, while my wife enjoyed the Hop City Brewing Barking Squirrel.
The menu is a solid mix of British style pub food along with a selection of Indian influenced dishes. I had the London porker sandwich with pulled pork, bacon, apple coleslaw, and Keen’s English mustard on brioche bun and a side of fries ($ 14). I could have used a little more pulled pork on the sandwich, but what I did have was pretty good.
My wife had the chicken curry ($ 11 small/​$ 16 large), a very solid curry dish over basmati rice, which was a better choice overall. A kids menu is also offered, making a good place to take the whole family.

Went here for lunch with my coworkers. Together we ordered wings, perogies, fish tacos, and poutine. We so had some sliders the size of quarters.
The service was fine and the place looked like a pub. The food was terrible. This is the worst pub food I have eaten at in my whole life. I can make better pub food at home. The equivalent frozen foods products at supermarkets tastes better. No amount of beer could make their food taste even anything close to descent. Get a new chef or new kitchen please.

Looks good on the outside — inside is cool and the staff are really nice! Came here alone to a handshake and intro from the barman — nice touch ¹⁰⁄₁₀ dude. Nice to have a beer, a chill and a watch of the hockey on big screen, not an English pub though!!! Thank God.

Great atmosphere for a sports bar with different kinds of seating. Billed as a British pub, as a Brit I am pleased to say its nothing like a British pub.
An excellent range of drinks, including Guinness and cider…

Holy poutine! The bartender said it was the best in the city and he was not lying! I only had a plate of poutine and two beers, but the food was good and the beer was cold. My service was quick, efficient and so, so, SO friendly! It was a great stop on my «Tour of Toronto»! The free wifi also allowed me to check in with my friends in the States!

I came here to grab a bite with my aunt while we downtown. I had a butter chicken pot pie and she had the shepards pie which was on special for $ 7. The butter chicken pot pie was delicious. We each also ordered a 20 oz beer since they too were on special for $ 5. Ended the meal with hot slice of chocolate cake with ice cream which you can never go wrong with. The place was a little loud at times but it is more of a sports bar and the walls are covered with TVs. I would probably come back to watch a game with friends but since the prices are reasonable but other than that it’s very similar to other sports bars. If you’re in the area and looking for bite you can’t go wrong with this place. Only caveat is that the service is a bit slow.

Good place. We stopped in twice to have a beer and watch the world cup. Appetizers were good and everything was reasonably priced. Lots of TVs well placed for good viewing. Service was on the mark and friendly as well. I’d go back when in the area.

Always a great place to count on for plans and a great connection with friends. Good food and a fairly good beer section.
By far the best thing about this place is the location. In the heart of yonge across from TEC

We stopped by for drinks and dessert on a Saturday night, and it was very busy but we still had decent service. It has typical pub décor and atmosphere, and we were able to watch a basketball game on one of the TVs. It looked like you could enter the pub from a back door entrance as well.
The good: They had Kronenbourg 1664! I was so excited to see my favorite French beer on tap that I ignored any specials they had (rotates nightly with a separate food and drink special).
The meh: The salted caramel chocolate lava cake was good, but not really a lava cake with molten anything inside. It was more like a large moist brownie with salted caramel on top.
Would I recommend this to a friend? Yes, if they’re looking for someplace in the downtown area to grab a few drinks and hang out.

Les firkin sont apprecies pour leur espace et leur service rapide. On en demande pas plus.
Firkin are appreciated for their space and fast orders, I do not ask for anything more.
