Craft Beer
Outstanding craft beer selections and brewery experiences
Average craft beer score: 8.1/10
Outstanding
Merit Brewing
9.3Merit leads with its brewery identity: flights, seasonal beer, lager, IPA, stout, sour, saison, barley wine, cider, wine, and non-alcoholic options give drink-first visitors a real reason to start here before choosing food.
The Ship
8.9Choose The Ship when the first decision is what to drink; the pub's identity leans into Ontario taps and a beer-first room without turning dinner into an afterthought.
Good Options
Bernie's Tavern
9.2The drinks list keeps craft beer and wine in the foreground, with happy-hour timing that makes the bar side part of the plan instead of an afterthought.
Fisher's Pier 4 Pub
8.7The tap list includes a house pilsner, Ontario craft names, stout and familiar lagers, giving beer drinkers enough range without making the room feel like a specialist bottle shop. It is a pub-friendly drinks strength.
