Godspeed Brewery

What is Godspeed Brewery? Located at 242 Coxwell Avenue just north of Dundas Street in Little India, Godspeed Brewery is the brainchild of Luc “Bim” Lafontaine (formerly of Montreal’s Dieu du Ciel!). The interior marries minimalist Japanese design sensibilities with the warm conviviality of a European beer hall, anchored by blonde wood furnishings, high ceilings, a sprawling bar counter, and a breezy sidewalk patio in the summer months.

Godspeed Brewery Menu & What to Order Godspeed pours some of the most meticulously crafted Czech-style lagers in North America alongside innovative brews infused with Japanese ingredients—think the crisp Sklepník Czech Pilsner, malt-forward House Pivo, and the citrus-kissed Yuzu Saison. Food operations are run in residency by Toronto beer hall powerhouse WVRST, ensuring top-tier pub eats to back up the draft lines. Must-orders include the WVRST Smash Cheeseburger, crispy Duck Fat Fries (or the nori-dusted Japanese variation), warm Bavarian pretzels, and specialty game sausages spanning venison, duck, and plant-based options.

Know Before You Go Seating is almost entirely walk-in friendly, though large groups can submit booking inquiries in advance through their website. Keep an eye out for "Czech Sundays," when all Czech draughts are priced at $7.75 all day. The taproom is easily accessed via the TTC by taking the Bloor-Danforth Line 2 to Coxwell Station and jumping on the 22 Coxwell bus south, or taking the 506 Carlton streetcar along Gerrard.
