We've been to this place a couple of times a year over the past ten years and it is a very reliable spot. Seems to have the owner on the premises a lot, which is always good. Selection of beers is good, food is consistently good and not over-priced, service can sometimes be slow but it's always friendly and informed.... More

3 words - PULLED PORK NACHOS! Decent beer selection and good food with reasonable prices, it's a decent little pub at the intersection of Bloor + Jane... and if you're a nachos fan, I highly recommend the pulled pork nachos, traditional nachos with a good bitta BBQ flavour... get the "el loco" size and it's good for sharing.

One female waitress is rude, miserable and not very accommodating. You know, the type that rolls her eyes when you ask for a fresh slice of lime for your gin and tonic to replace the one that was cut from road kill. The crowd is young and rowdy. The food is not vegetarian friendly. The place looks grimy. Patio is... More

"Hangout" is probably not the best phrase for Bryden's. The food is actually very good, much better than your everyday "pub" fare: everything here is made from scratch, right from the truly handcut, superb fries to the famous warm bread pudding. But what I mean is that this is the kind of place where the servers all recognize you, spot... More

What more could you want in a pub - friendly service, great food, good atmosphere and a cracking selection of beers on tap. Probably the best pub food in Bloor West Village.

The food here is always good! It's a great local place to go, but the food is worth a trip from further away. The staff are also very friendly, but sometimes it can get too busy in there for just 1 server and a bartender. Make sure you try the "Best Damn Nachos" with the pulled pork.
