The Mugshot Tavern

I discovered this place a few years ago, when I just moved to the neighborhood. It's a very casual place, but usually that's what I need anyway. Recently I started coming here on Sundays with a large group of friends. And the service is very good! Our server is always able to accommodate separate bills, which by the way is a lot to ask. Everyone is very friendly and the service is fast. Would definitely recommend!

I really enjoyed the fish and chips. And the vibes were good.

Very much a pub but with fine dining energy. Yes the interior is a bit small, so not alot of seating and yea there is only street parking BUT the food is UNREAL. Burgers, pretzels, sandwiches and Porkchops..I've had it all and each time is consistently great. The staff have been around for a while and are fantastic. So efficient and friendly and if you frequent The Mugshot Tavern they'll get to know you quick. Lastly the atmosphere although very much a pub or sports pub has a very chill and cool feel. Playlists are always on point and love the mugshot decor. Check it out you won't be disappointed

Great pub with a variety of options. I had the steak salad and there was a generous steak portion done to my liking (medium rare) and not overly seasoned, but just right. Beer options are good - I had the Harvest Bumpkin which had a pumpkin spice theme going. The Hazy IPA (can't remember the name) was also good. My friends had The Steak and the Salmon, both also were v good according to them. The servers were very friendly and attentive. They allowed my friends to pay their bill and I mine, without crying about telling them beforehand. That's a sign of a good POS system supporting the team. It was a hockey night and started to fill up into the evening, but it didn't get too noisy. Probably was quieter as the Leafs absolutely crushed the Lighting 5-2. But let's not get off track especially so early in the season.

Excellent customer service and the owner is very sweet, he was always checking in on us and I could see that he had a lot of returning and loyal customers due to his genuine kindness and excellent customer service! The mug shots are fun to look at! The portions are also large, we ordered fish and chips and the poutine and were very stuffed! Would recommend! :)

Five stars for the service! Pedro was very friendly, attentive and took good care of us during our visit. The location is across the street from High Park and from the station. The food was just okay - the spicy crispy chicken wasn't really crispy, while the rainbow trout was a bit too salty. A good place to stop in for a drink after a visit to High Park.

I strongly recommend this bar if you are ever in the area. The excellent atmosphere resonated with the music choices, classic rock. Comfortable seats and tables make you feel welcome and relaxed. Our waitress, Jac was extremely helpful and knowlegable about what to recommend to customers. She was a big part of our positive experience at this great place. We had guest taps, oast house, porter and cider from Earenst. I would love to come back here.

Busy for a Friday! We only had to wait ~10mins for a table but were happy to do so with a beer in hand. Excellent food and we had leftovers to bring home too. Will definitely be back. Update - have been back multiple times since the original review and have never had a bad meal! Definitely a neighbourhood favourite.
