Foggy Dew Irish Pub

Great food and priced reasonable.
Great patio seats for the summer.
Across from my 800 King real estate office.
Will come back for more.

Stopped here during the week for lunch. Pretty quiet just before noon. Service was quick and burgers were good. Will plan to come back again and give Foggy Dew another try.

Went on Wednesday evening, place had $ 5.00 Mill street specials, proper pub. Clean, food looked awesome

From the outside the place looks enormous and much like many of the formulaic pubs you get here in Toronto, but once you’re inside the main area you realize that this is more like your corner neighborhood place, which isn’t a bad thing.
Came by for breakfast and sat on the patio. Wasn’t overly busy, especially for a Saturday. Server was pretty quick to get to the table and bring us menus. Polite and quick with the drinks. The food did take a long time to arrive, and an update would have been appreciated, but overall not bad. When food did arrive however, it was very good. I got the Eggs Benedict with hash browns and my friend got the big breakfast which she said was good. Also worth noting, they have $ 3 Caesars on Sunday’s, and a bar set up inside to personalize your drink.
I’d say it’s worth going and worth the trip, but it’s probably nothing that you won’t find at your neighborhood pub as well.

The Foggy Dew has a great ambience. Pub atmosphere but subdued music. Family friendly with a good kids menu. Fish and chips were some of the best I ever had — fluffy on the middle, crunxhy on top — my kids couldn’t resist my meal.

Most excellent Irish Pub in the ‘hood. Great selection of beers, good food, wonderful patio in the heart of King West!

Very cousy and homey pub. The food is above average. It’s a casual place, which is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise upscale bar scene. You know, for those bad hair days.

Ok.
The beer is cold. Bartender is cute. Skye is the the best.
But really — skimping out on toilet paper? At 8 bucks a pint — this is bullshit.
It’s not parkdale. Buy some two ply.
Band sucked. Beer is expensive, which I don’t mind but buy some god damn toilet paper that is worth 8 bucks a pint.

first visit had the fish tacos and the pulled pork tacos. The fish was bland but the pork was much better.

This place should be called ‘The Foggy Don’t’
I worked in the restaurant industry for nearly 10 years so I understand things happen. It’s the way those situations are handled that will entail whether the guest returns or not. I for one have lost my local watering hole. Thank god there are more than enough around!
Here is a top line summary of my experience.
It took nearly 20 minutes for the waitress to take our drink order. The appetizer was cold. Our main dish had hair in it. And after politely requesting to speak to a manager three times, we were denied and were told that they would comp the food.
After such a bad experience you would think they would also cover the one glass of wine and pint of beer but nope! They left us with a $ 12 bill for the drinks, empty stomachs, and bad story to share.

We showed up with about twelve people after a baseball game. Staff found us a spot on the patio very quickly, and were very pleasant about moving us indoors about ten minutes later when we decided it was actually too cold to sit outside.
Our server was Sarah, and she was efficient, helpful, and hilarious. She was very organized, seemed to know the menu (food and drinks) off by heart, and improvised a (very good!) drink for me when we realized the pub didn’t have something I normally get at pubs.
Overall she handled a table of twelve very well — no one’s orders were mixed up or missing, we never felt neglected.
The food was also pretty good. We had a couple of party platters, someone had the guinness ribs, I had the wings (and they brought me an extra cup of sauce, which I love). The guinness ribs smelled amazing — I didn’t get a chance to steal one and try it, they disappeared very fast! I got mild wings and they were very tasty.
tldr; All thumbs up, we had a great time, will definitely go again!

My boyfriend and I had our first date here – many years ago… We had nachos and told each other offensive jokes while everyone else in the pub watched the Leafs get their asses handed to them in the playoffs. We’ve been several times since, but had a really nice brunch this weekend.
No waits or lineups for the patio on a gorgeous day and we were thrilled to learn that they have $ 2.99 Caesars! They bring you the Caesar from the bar and you take your drink to the Caesar station and put any myriad of things in it that you want: olives, celery, cucumber, pickled olives, gherkins… Even pepperoni sticks!
A basket of tiny muffins arrived at our table shortly after ordering. Two of them were sweet and two were not so sweet, but I was busy with my Caesar.
We both had eggs with Farmer’s sausage, Cajun spiced home fries and marble rye toast. This breakfast was surprisingly good for chain pub food. Everything on the plate was carefully presented, properly cooked and the marble rye was great.
Service was wonderful. And I know from experience that Brunch shifts are almost like punishment. Our server was helpful and on time with everything.
This place does a solid brunch and with the addition if $ 2.99 Caesars? You have to be loving this place!

After work I decided to stop by for a drink and something to eat before going home. It wasn’t packed, but there was a good crowd of people. The atmosphere was of your typical Irish Pub.
SERVICE: Our waitress, Sarah, was attentive, funny, and quick. She was personable and easy to talk to. Just fantastic!
FOOD: The garbage they serve and consider edible is pathetic. Who ever their supplier is for frozen fried wings is clearly producing a sub-​par product considering there was hair in the majority of the batter. In addition, if you aren’t serving fresh wings, why serve them at all? What happened to being proud of the food you bring out of the kitchen?
OVERALL: I will never eat at this pub ever again. The only reason there are two stars instead of one is because our waitress was amazing.

My reviews consist almost entirely of sitting indoors as I opt for the Old York’s far less crowded and much better located patio when the weather is nice.
Food is very typical and faux Irish. Beer is okay. The atmosphere is definitely bland with a whiff of bro. Lots of sports and from a few experiences, lots of loud dudes having a good time slapping eachother on the back and hitting on the waitresses.
If you’re in your 20s and wanna bro down on St. Patrick’s Day I’m sure this place top notch but otherwise there are better options nearby.

I attended an event here in the summer. The server was great and despite the big crowd we showed up with she still managed to get everyone’s names and orders and was really prompt with everything — impressive !
This is a great place to stop in for beers and pub food.
It has an old-​style Irish pub feel to it and there is tons of seating. The patio is one of the larger ones I’ve been to in the area. Some of the seating is a little awkward inside which made it a little weird to try to carry on a conversation but overall it was a good time.
I think the server made the night, she even made suggestions on drinks I’ve never tried before.
This one is certainly on the short list of places to go back to.

Met two friends here last Friday (they’d arrived after a TFC game).
It wasn’t patio weather, but they were busy (as one might expect that time of the week).
We got seats, but we were in an awkward nook with several other parties. And it was a bit hard to hear my conversation surrounded by so many others.
Our server: She was fairly attentive and prompt, given how busy it was.
The food: I had a burger with fries. I think at the time, my friend asked me how my meal was, and I think I said «Good.» I meant, «Meh.» I’ve had better burgers, but at that point, I was hungry and devoid of caring what I ate.
Listen, I know this place has got more than its fair share of regulars and devotees. And I totally get it. It’s great for casual gatherings with friends, watching sports, and listening to — or talking over — whichever cover band plays on Fridays. (Dude who empatically requested Supertramp’s «Take a Look at My Girlfriend» and danced it out: we SEE you).
But I think I’ll be limiting my visits for when I’m actually in the area and no other place will do.

This is one of my favorite neighbourhood pubs, not just because it’s literally next door to me. They have a great patio in the summer and the atmosphere is great inside; a lively bar, and a dining room with lots of cozy nooks which is a plus if you are there with a group.
Their food is pretty good. Some of the items I had:
Fennel steak salad is great healthier alternative to their pub grub. The pieces of steak was perfectly cooked (medium rare and very tender). The greens were nicely dressed. It was a satisfying salad.
They have few selections of meat pies (it wouldn’t be an Irish pub without any pot or shepherd pies) and the few I had were very tasty. I especially like their Cottage Pie.
I was a little disappointed with their Mac & Cheese. It was good but Mac & Cheese is hard to screw up. I didn’t taste much bacon and thought the sun dried tomatoes made for a slightly odd combination.
Bangkok curry is surprisingly very good for a non-​asian restaurant (and even better than some asian restaurants). Very tasty with a nice amount of heat and great coconut flavour. Even my parents think it’s one of the best curries they have tasted and it’s their favourite item on the menu.
During the summer they had the donut burger on the menu. It sounds like a gruesome CNE food stunt, but it is actually really delicious if you don’t mind clogging your arteries just a bit. It’s consists of their great bacon cheese burger stuffed in a maple glazed donut. A nice combo of savoury and sweet. It’s a bit difficult to eat so it’s best to attack it with a knife and fork.
Weekend brunch (served til 3pm) is actually very good. I like their eggs benny. I especially like their $ 3 bloody Caesar bar which they had an excellent bar of condiments to dress your Caesar.

Gord and I met my pal, Liz, and her beau, Jamie, for supper tonight at the Foggy Dew.
The pub was fairly busy and we grabbed a table in the corner.
Jamie and Liz order the Cottage Pie (slow cooked Angus beef with peas and carrots in a rich Guinness and fresh herb gravy, topped with sweet potato mash and served with a house salad). They both said it was delicious!
Gord ordered the Smokehouse Mac ‘n Cheese. He said it was good but a bit salty. He found it filling and and ended up bringing a lot home.
I ordered the Beer Battered Fish & Chips … the fish was delicious!

Dog friendly patio. Great finish to an afternoon walk in the sun with Grover
Just dropped by to meet a few friends and pints… didn’t get to try the food…
All around it seemed like an OK place… nothing stood out… neighbourhood pub is what i thought… :)

This review has been in the pipeline for the whole of June, being it is the closest pub to me and my office I find myself here way too often.
Having spent most of this evening eating and drinking there I felt now was an appropriate time to Unilocal about it plus I had a fair bit to drink so we all know how it goes ‘truth flows easily after a tipple’.
Okay so the general gist of the place is of a pub! Wow did not see that coming.
The crowd is a mature 25 – 40 crowd and due to their road side patio they do get busy on a nice hot day.
I have been here last week, when the NBA final thing, was happening and it annoyed me that rather than play the channel’s sound, so I could repeat what the commentator was saying and act knowledgeable, or have it on the projection TV where they instead opted for some boring sport called ‘hit a ball with a stick’ and also play music in the background such as ‘The proclaimers’ which is not even Irish!
However one thing I do like here is the service, most the waitresses are friendly and have a knack of making me drink more than I should and the bar dudes are fun to chat to and make fun of.
I like going here Tuesday for the 50 cent wings but they’re not the greatest but for convenience I wont complain and today I had plenty of beer and scotch with one of their burgers which was good but again nothing to sing about.
If it was not for the proximity of the place I would not go here as often as I find myself doing and anyway its better than walking 500 miles to find a real Irish pub!
