Opened in 2000, this microbrewery produces a premium pilsner lager with only four natural
ingredients: spring water, malted barley, hops and yeast – all GMO-free.
Located in the historic John Street Roundhouse, just south of the CN Tower, the building was built in 1929 and functioned as a Canadian Pacific Rail steam locomotive repair facility. Tours with tastings are offered seven days a week, where you can learn how pilsner is made,
the history of the building, the green initiatives taken by Steam Whistle, and much more. A
45-minute tour costs $10 per person. Reservations are accepted Monday to Thursday, and are on a first-come basis on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Reservations can be made at josh@steamwhistle.ca
Some of Steam Whistle’s more recent awards include: Canada’s Most Admired Corporate
Cultures, Canada’s Greenest Employers, and Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies.

Don’t be put off by the name – this is a classy joint in downtown Toronto! There are, however, brilliant discounts on offer with happy-hour drinks and a half-price dinner menu every day between 5 and 8 p.m.


I enjoyed watching office workers hurrying home, sat on one of the bar’s terraces with a nice cold beer…

A great place to relax with your shopping and soak up the city’s vibe.

Homey, funky bar (29 people max!), formerly a Portuguese lunch counter. Drinks, talk, great music from the owners' sound system and the best juke box in TO, crokinole (more Canadian than hockey), scrabble. Get there before 9 when the hipsters take over. And catch the Saturday live music (5 to 7) - Django Reinhardt reincarnated wih a big surprise.

1149 Dundas St. W - Dundas and Ossington - look for Nazarre Lunch sign. Open 4 to 2.
