Amsterdam BrewHouse

What is Amsterdam BrewHouse? Occupying a sprawling 1920s terminal building at 245 Queens Quay West, Amsterdam BrewHouse is Toronto’s heavyweight waterfront brewpub. The cavernous 14,000-square-foot multi-level complex pairs an active glass-walled brewing setup with buzzing interior bar areas and four expansive multi-tiered patios directly framing Lake Ontario and the Toronto Islands. It is unabashedly high-volume and energetic, catering to pre-game crowds heading to Rogers Centre alongside locals seeking sunny afternoon pints by the slips.

Amsterdam BrewHouse Menu & What to Order Built around hearty pub staples designed for beer drinking, the kitchen reliably turns out crisp wood-fired pizzas, smash burgers, and smoked meats. Start with the warm 'Dam Good Jumbo Pretzel dipped in house beer mustard and creamy cheese sauce, or tuck into the rich Boneshaker Brisket Mac & Cheese. Plant-based diners have solid options like the Brewmaster’s Vegan Burger and tangy Buffalo cauliflower. Pair everything with a fresh pour of the iconic Boneshaker IPA, a crisp 3 Speed Lager, or a tasting flight drawn right from the tanks.

Know Before You Go Waterfront patio tables fill up rapidly on summer afternoons and concert or game nights, so book well ahead on OpenTable or expect a wait at the door. If you want the breezy lake views without the crush, visit during off-peak weekday lunch hours. Underground parking is available at the Radisson Admiral or the Rees Street surface lot, and the 509/510 Harbourfront streetcar drops you right out front.
