Toronto-based family travel writers Yashy & Chris Murphy are not shy about touring around Toronto with two young children. Here are their favourite kid-friendly breweries and beer bars in Toronto (because yes, you can do that).
Toronto’s craft beer scene has exploded over the last few years with new breweries and beer bars all over the city. Rarely does a weekend go by when we aren’t making our way, kids in tow, to a newly-opened tap house or revisiting an old favourite. A new Toronto brewery seems to open every few months and we make it a mission to discover them all.
Depending on what you like to drink, whether it’s sour beers, session ales, or barrel-aged limited releases, there is a craft beer in Toronto for everyone. Taking young kids to a brewery may seem like an odd idea but we have discovered that most of Toronto’s breweries are quite welcoming to families, making it easy for parents to enjoy a pint too.
Here are a few of our favourite breweries and beer bars in Toronto:
Toronto has some great attractions and we are happy to tell you that a great beer is never too far away. If you’re looking to grab a pint and enjoy delicious eats after visiting one of Toronto’s key attractions with kids, watch the video below.
