The Loose Moose is a lively bar in downtown Toronto favoured by locals and out-of-towners since 1989. Their fondness may have something to do with its beer selection.

With inventive plates, generous portions and the cleanest taps in the city, this is a bar you’ll likely come back to — plan or no plan.

    The overall ambience was really nice, we lived the upscale diner vibe. Wait staff was extremely knowledgeable and so friendly. It was like being at an East coast fine dining kitchen party! The food was delicious, seafood platter we could have eaten 3. The preserved oyster, scallops our favourite, shrimp and oysters great way to at tart our meal. Soups yum, the chowder was full of seafood so light yet creamy. Fish and chips amazing you have to eat the tartar sauce with it, it really added to the flavour of the fish. Crab dip definitely a must try it was creamy but not an over powered cream cheese flavour a perfect balance. Desserts were delicious but very big and very sweet we had the Hello Dolly and sundae we should have split one dessert between the 3 of us. I wish we had tried the lemon meringue pie. Next time for sure!

    We had a group get together here. Staff were very helpful and provided two tables of 6 each for our group next to each other. They also coordinated our meals and bills etc so we finished together . The food and service were both excellent and we had a thoroughly enjoyable outing . Some members of your group visited the AGO and the Gift Shop to round out the event .

    They have all these crazy deals. The stuff was extremely nice and fun to be around. The environment is not chaotic and perfect for girls date or any date tbh. The line up was not crazy at all given the rush. We got our tables very fast even though I made reservations standing right there. 10/10 recommend
