Henderson Brewing

What is Henderson Brewing? Located at 128A Sterling Road right alongside the West Toronto Railpath and steps from MOCA, Henderson Brewing operates as the de facto living room and community hall for the Junction Triangle. Named in tribute to Robert Henderson—who operated one of Toronto’s earliest commercial breweries in the early 1800s—the spacious warehouse conversion marries polished concrete floors, soaring ceilings, and warm industrial timber with a communal mix of bar-height tables, counter seating, and an expansive dog-friendly outdoor patio.

Henderson Brewing Menu & What to Order Start with a pour of the flagship Henderson’s Best Amber Ale, a balanced, malty nod to historic brewing that remains one of the city's most reliable pints, before pivoting to FIGO, a crisp and floral Italian pilsner. Fans of Canadian rock royalty flock for the official Rush Canadian Golden Ale, a rye golden ale brewed with citrus and spicy notes. The in-house kitchen turns out made-to-order thin-crust pizzas, pretzels, and savory bar snacks, while Sundays frequently feature lively pop-ups serving fresh-shucked oysters.

Know Before You Go Outside food is strictly prohibited, but walk-ins rule the room for groups of up to six; parties of six or more should email ahead to reserve space. The on-site bottle shop is pickup-only without residential delivery options, so grab cans directly at the counter on your way out. Transit access is painless via the Railpath to Dundas West or Lansdowne stations, and the venue draws massive crowds during signature events like the annual October Picklefest.
