    If you love trying new local beers and playing pool, there is no better bar in Toronto. Staff are very knowledgeable about their large selection of brews! Tried my first gravity fed beer here.

    Absolutely 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!!

    Drink 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.

    Huge 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.

    Beer 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.

    Lovely tap selection for beers, and awesome homestyle comfort food. What's not to love about this place?

    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.

    My 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.

    Incredibly extensive beer selection. Great place to get some work done or just read a book at the bar.

    Harry 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.

    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.

    Saturday afternoon dixieland and jovial if somewhat geriatric vibe. Unpretentious basement haunt.

    The place in Toronto for the best of Ontario. No big name brands, no mass-produced beers, just great Ontario craft beers.

    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!

    Don't expect to play great games of pool- cues are shorten and the walls are close.
  • Christopher M.
    Beer selection is unmatched in the city. And for the adventurous, always some choice cask ale. Try the Neustadt.

    Watch the host. If you get the one I had, you may get "unhelpful with a side of attitude".

    Friend'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.

    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!
