The pizzas here were incredible. The server recommended the Deluxe pizza, and I loved it. I asked for hot sauce for my pizza and along with the hot sauce, the owner brought out a traditional Italian hot sauce that he said would go with the flavours of the pizza better. It did!! The server was really nice as well. One tip - if you're there in the summer, I'd recommend sitting inside, as the wasps are prevalent.

The atmosphere was nice when entering. It was a Thursday afternoon a nice breeze ran through the place. We were looking to have an early dinner. The drafts were flat as well. Right away the waitress was abrupt and not very friendly. We knew then that it was going to be a quick visit. We tried their special $4 taco. Fish and the beef. The taco wraps were stale. And was only told that they order fresh.fresh?? When?? They were not fresh. And the waitress did not seem to care at all. We love trying different places and always tip well. Needless to say the waitress got more of a tip than she deserved. Do not recommend this place. Sadd. Looked like it had potential. It did not.

Had a great time hanging out at Ladybug last Friday. They had the World Series and hockey game on, the place was packed and everyone was eating and chatting and having a good time, really great vibe. The bartender Sam was super friendly and very attentive. They had happy hour drink and food specials until 7pm which was great. Had a couple fish tacos, I thought they were very good, especially for $4/taco (happy hour special). Will definitely come again to try more food and hang out.

I had a fantastic time at Ladybug Tavern bar with friends while watching the Leafs game. The atmosphere was great, and Paul the bartender was awesome, making our experience even better. It's definitely a place I'd recommend for sports fans and gatherings.

Stopped here for happy hour and it was a great find. They have a cheap drinks and small plates on for happy hour every day - would highly recommend! We had chips and guacamole and it was a very filling snack. Service was awesome/friendly and the vibes are great. There’s also a decent sized patio out the side. I’ll definitely be coming back here!

I'm of two minds. On the one, they're clearly able to deliver quality. On the other, it's all terribly uninspired and inconsistent. The pizza crust is fantastic - the toppings are meh. The peameal bacon is unreal - the Hollandaise would get poured down the drain at George Brown. It has barely any quality beer or whiskey on a strip with absolute bangers and the mimosa was served with a Henkel Trocken, but the wine selection is perfectly appropriate to the food. Ladybug Tavern feels like a pub out of space and time - I'm not sure the owner understood the neighborhood but it is clearly run with otherwise keen business sense with an understanding of what usually "just works." I wish it a prosperous tenancy but I have concerns about it's length.
