Radical Road Brewing

What is Radical Road Brewing? Anchoring the east stretch of Queen Street East in Leslieville, Radical Road Brewing is an unpretentious neighbourhood brewpub founded by veteran Toronto brewers Simon DaCosta and Jon Hodd. The room leans into a warm, low-lit tavern aesthetic with rich wood accents, exposed brick, and bar counter seating facing the brew system. Guests can settle into communal high-tops indoors or claim a spot on the cozy front sidewalk patio when weather permits.

Radical Road Brewing Menu & What to Order The taplist turns out well-balanced, inventive brews led by the bright, citrus-laced Yuzu Pale Ale and the aromatic 8-Track IPA. To eat, the kitchen collaborates with Mean Bao to serve piping-hot steamed buns and filling rice bowls; order the crispy Fried Chicken Bao with pickled cabbage and Japanese mayo or the rich Slow Roasted Pork Belly Bao. Plant-based drinkers have solid options as well, including the Satay Tofu Bao and the red curry bowl packed with bok choy and bamboo shoots.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly walk-in, with peak rushes hitting on Friday nights and weekend afternoons, though turnover moves quickly. The 501 Queen streetcar drops off steps away near Jones Avenue, and paid street parking is available along Queen East. The on-site retail shop operates late seven days a week, making it easy to grab fresh four-packs and one-off releases to go.
