Brian FleenorOctober 25, 2012Absolutely love this place!!! In the top 3 best beer pubs in all of Toronto. Was in town for weeks and so disappointed until I tried C'est What. Totally turned my opinion of Toronto's beer scene 180!!- Ariana VoyerMay 3, 2017Drink by the fireplace, play pool, sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders, come with a group - perfect spot for any occasion. Amazing beer list!
Love it here. Great food— big fan of the butter chicken. Fantastic beer selection— like 30 taps. Pool tables, board games galore... heaven.
NuffApril 10, 2019Beer menu rotates but selection is always good. Tasty and eclectic food offerings with a kitchen that’s open late for those midnight mac & cheese cravings.
Sachiko PhuongAugust 23, 2014Huge selection of local beer, good food at great prices. Try the shrimp and fish cakes or the buffalo burger! Half-pints and sample sizes for beer are also available.
Jamie BaxterDecember 19, 2014Lovely tap selection for beers, and awesome homestyle comfort food. What's not to love about this place?
Jason BakerJune 6, 2013My first pub experience in TO, this place has the best selection of craft beers from around Ontario. Don't miss it you're visiting Toronto.
Damien ByrneOctober 10, 2013If you love beer . You will love thid place. Plus it has s lovely relaxed ambience. Downstairs only. 2 bars , dinning and pool room. It looks like new.
NathanAugust 12, 2015Incredibly extensive beer selection. Great place to get some work done or just read a book at the bar.
Patrick ErskineJanuary 22, 2012Harry Porter and the Bourbon Soaked Vanilla Bean. Amazing name aside, it's a great beer with a strong vanilla aftertaste. Only served on Saturdays after 3pm.
- The hummus/tzatziki dip is great to snack on. If you're a bit hungrier try the lamburger. Both go great with a pint of St. Ambroise Apricot Wheat.
Beer selection is excellent and service have always been great for me. Try their own brews! Food is OK. Herbed frites are good.
Big Dave KJune 27, 2015Great menu and selection of spirits and beer. Nice place to visit while in Toronto.
One of our best beer assets in this city! Food is great, service is great, but the beer is what keeps me coming back!- One of the best selections of micros in Ontario. Nice ambience. Beer knowledgeable owner. One thing could improve - the menu: hasn't really changed in 10-15 years. That's the only detractor.
One of the best craft beer selection in the area, with a great atmosphere
MandrewFebruary 16, 2014Friend's bday. "Can't come in. Over capacity. Get in line." "You mean these 2 guys?" "Yes." Get in 1 min later. Lots of tables open but marked "reserved". You're a pub. Pretentiousness is unbecoming.- Big, lots of great casks and craft beers, and a vqa wine list too! Food is affordable and decent, veg friendly.
- Tony TedescoJune 2, 2013Great selection of microbrews... but a Slayer fan may feel a little out of place lol. Hipster Alert!
This is the first pub stop on the "Beer Makes History Better" Toronto Urban Adventure! Learn some local history and drink local beer on this tour!
Christopher McKinnonJune 9, 2011Beer selection is unmatched in the city. And for the adventurous, always some choice cask ale. Try the Neustadt.
duckdownMay 18, 2013The skinny guy behind the bar with a village people moustache seems like he hates his job.. Very impersonal
Watch out for cask nights! C'est What shows off craft beers from all around Ontario. For only $1, you get a 3 oz. taster shot of beer!- The place in Toronto for the best of Ontario. No big name brands, no mass-produced beers, just great Ontario craft beers.
C'est What has one of the best selection of craft beers in town and their antojitos are absolutely the most delicious item on the menu.
David Owen MorganDecember 28, 2013Saturday afternoon dixieland and jovial if somewhat geriatric vibe. Unpretentious basement haunt.

Judith PattersonFebruary 28, 2010Fantastic place to watch and share food, great craft beers and yummy wines as well as a fun place to share your interest in sports with others.
Shaun BreedonOctober 10, 2012Watch the host. If you get the one I had, you may get "unhelpful with a side of attitude".
James CNovember 20, 2015Don't expect to play great games of pool- cues are shorten and the walls are close.
- I hear the chocolate orange beer at C'est What is darn good.
Poutine here ("the best west of the Ottawa river" they say) is good but it's far from being the real thing. Still give it a try!
