The Edmund Burke

What is The Edmund Burke? Perched at 107 Danforth Avenue just steps east of Broadview, The Edmund Burke pays homage to the Canadian architect behind the iconic Prince Edward Viaduct. Since 2016, this laid-back Riverdale craft beer hall and gastropub has welcomed locals with warm wood paneling, an unpretentious bar counter, and a leafy, secluded back patio hidden from the street traffic.

The Edmund Burke Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out dialed-in comfort fare designed to complement an ever-rotating lineup of Ontario craft draughts. The signature Jack and Bleu Burger—topped with double-smoked bacon, Jack Daniel's caramelized onions, and pungent blue cheese—is a perennial favourite, as is the crisp chicken schnitzel plated over brown butter sage spaetzle. Vegetarians are well looked after with a house-made falafel patty slathered in red pepper tahini aioli, while late-night drinkers consistently rely on the traditional bangers and mash.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly casual and operates on walk-ins, filling up fast during pre-show dinner rushes for the nearby Danforth Music Hall. The bar sits less than a two-minute stroll from Broadview TTC station, making subway transit the easiest way to arrive. Operating hours run reliably seven days a week from 3:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., with the kitchen serving late.
