The Black Dog Pub

Great place!

I had dinner at The Black Dog Pub a few days ago and it was a great experience. When you're craving pub fare, this is the perfect place to go. The food is is outstanding and the menu is fairly priced. The staff was kind and the service was amazing! I would recommend The Black Dog Pub to anyone whether you're looking for a family night out, a nice date with your partner or just looking to meet friends, you will keep coming back!

Their slogan is "You are a stranger but once..." That's thanks to the awesome staff that work here, from host to bartender and servers. Generally decent pub food, but not for the price. Portions are large, but I think quality suffers at the expense of quantity. All the food is premium priced for a pub (fish and chips $17.50, wings $14+!). Pints are slightly higher priced than other places in the area. Wine requires a mortgage. Atmosphere is warm and cozy, but a little too cozy when it's busy, as the entrance is through the bar area. Doubly frustrating to see empty tables reserved in the bar area when it's busy.

I was at the black dog nearly a week ago and I decided to try something off of their feature menu. I don't recall the name of the sandwich but it was essentially battered fish (traditional fish and chip style) on a ciabatta bun. It reminded me of something i would see on diners drive ins and dives. The experience could only be described as gluttonous.

I was at the black dog the first time for dinner a few nights ago, I never write on these types of websites becuase its usually people complaining. Wel,l I had such a great time at the black dog figured I'd share my thoughts! The owner and staff were so friendly and inviting. The food was outstanding and goes above and beyond pub fare. I hightly recommend this establishment. And do not forget the dessert! There were a few of us who ordered different desserts and they were all incredible!!

Better food than Toronto pubs

I live in the heart of Toronto and try to visit the Black Dog as often as possible. I have visited many pubs in Toronto and always find them serving poor quality food. This is why I always make a trip to The Black Dog Pub. The food is exceptional and atmosphere is warm and inviting. I recommend it to anyone looking to dine out with their significant other, or with a group of friends.
