Madison Avenue Pub has earned its reputation as Toronto's inclusive gathering place, where people from all walks of life unite and forge friendships. In 1983, founders Dave and Isabel decided to open a small bar in the basement of 14 Madison Avenue. As time passed, the pub expanded to encompass three Victorian mansions featuring multiple bars and interconnected patios. The pub's charming decks, live piano performances, and a diverse selection of locally brewed beer and homemade pub food have become its signature offerings. The atmosphere at Madison Avenue Pub is laid-back and invigorating, allowing customers to feel at ease and be themselves while enjoying the lively ambiance of one of Toronto's oldest pubs. A beloved tradition at the pub is the live performance of the Piano Man every Friday and Saturday night. This cherished act, held by the pub's team for decades, is one of the last of its kind in Toronto. Whether patrons prefer to don their favorite jeans or dress casually, Madison Avenue Pub provides a welcoming space for all to unwind, have fun, and make lasting memories with friends old and new. For nearly four decades, their remarkable clientele has consistently come back to The Maddy.

MADISON AVENUE PUB REVIEWS
Excellent place to meet up with friends. Huge patio very clean and the bar food is great. The tortillas are awesome. Went there with a very good friend and they were very accommodating, offering to turn the music down if it was too loud. It's off and out of the way. I've lived in Toronto for 40plus yrs and I didn't know it existed but very happy I know about it now!
This is a great pub. Multiple bars in same building with different themes as live music, dance floor. Great crowd. Very busy on weekends. Food is delicious for bar food. Cocktails are delicious too. Not very expensive either. Highly recommend if you want to enjoy loud music and young crowd.
Best pub in Toronto! I will definitely come back. They have 9 different bars inside the place. All of them with the same great energy.

C'EST WHAT REVIEWS
We went there Friday night to watch a live music. It was amazing. I loved everything, the food, atmosphere and the band. The bar is so charming. The service doesn't came to table to pick the order, but it doesn't bother me. The bartender was very polite and everything went well. Highly recommend!
I lived in Toronto for 8 years and before emigrating from the UK, my friends took me here for my first night out (knowing my love of decent beer). I get together with these friends nearly every year in C'est What, and it's always a great experience. We were served by a wonderful person named Laura this past Saturday. Everything is great.
The food was incredible! We had the butter chicken poutine and the Jambalaya - both were outstanding. I am originally from Montreal and have had my fair share of poutines. This one hit the spot! The Jambalaya was also flavourful, looking forward to returning and trying out other things. 100% recommend!

THE QUEEN & BEAVER PUBLIC HOUSE REVIEWS
Our experience this evening at the Queen and Beaver has been nothing short of magnificent. To begin with, we were greeted by Hannah. What a wonderful, friendly, gregarious, and genuine lady. An absolute gem and terrific ambassador for this establishment. After sorting out our seating, we were served by Jed. Can not say enough about this gentleman. Knowledgeable and highly qualified, he was very helpful and friendly. The food itself was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals (welsh rarebit, seafood pie and peas, roast pork chop with romesco sauce and shishito peppers) This was on our 17th anniversary and did we ever hit the jackpot by going to the Queen and Beaver on Elm Street, downtown Toronto! Cannot wait for our next visit.
Cute British pub with hearty delicious food. We sat on the 2nd floor which has a more casual vibe with couches, TVs and bar. Service was excellent. Drink selection had some classic UK pints. Food was British pub style with great flavours. We had the squash-chickpea-curry pie which had a lot of great spices and flavours with a nice tangy garnish. My friend had the cod fish and chips which were perfectly cooked inside and out.
Great Pub! Love the atmosphere, wonderful space. I had the Steak and onion pie and my wife had the Rib eye steak. Both dishes were extraordinary! Love the staff, very friendly. Thanks!
