Reviews for Whelan's Gate in Toronto, ON
Big fan of Whelan's! The place is cozy and located in a great spot. I appreciate the selection of drinks they offer and if you... need advice, the staff are incredibly knowledgeable. I've ordered a variety of food from the menu and loved it all - alwaysfresh and tastes delightful. Highly recommend the burger if you're looking for a place to start! There's a variety of events too- Trivia Thursdays are such a fun time. Read more
Best burger in the city!! Chicken sandwich is also fantastic. Hand cut fries are not to be missed. Staff are welcoming and... the bar has everything you would need. My favorite place to meet up with friends in the city Read more
Cozy Irish pub with good food, ambience and a patio with lush green. Had cider, Guinness and fish and chips. The servers were... really attentive and will suggest you about food and drink if you ask them to recommend. Not too crowdy and had a great playlist. Read more
One of my favourite spots in the city. The hamburger and fries are my favourite but all the food is excellent and they may... excellent drinks with a great beer selection. Also, the trivia nights on Thursdays are so much fun! Read more
This is one of my favourite spots in the neighbourhood! The bar is cozy, and the patio is lovely in the summer. The staff are... amazing here - everyone is super friendly and they very clearly take pride in what they do. The food is also excellent - theburger is probably my favourite in the city, and the fried chicken sandwich is spectacular! They have a great beer list also - Icannot recommend this place enough!

The servers are incredibly friendly. It's across the street from my condo, I've gone a few times with my partner and had great... experiences. The last few times I've ordered take out for the steak frites, the fries have been great and plentiful. But I'veasked for rare or medium rare and I've gotten it fully cooked all the way through with what looks like half the serving or lessof steak from what I've gotten in the past from here. Pretty disappointing with what the price is after taxes and tip. I won'tbe ordering this anymore and probably frequent less often. Photo was taken about 5 minutes after I received it. Read more
I loved this pub so much I got married here! We had a small ceremony (20 people) on the dreamy back patio and a medium... reception (55 people) on the upper floors. Steve and his staff were a dream to work with. I won't get into all the details butit was like working with a proper wedding planning team with the benefit (and cost!) of a casual, cozy pub wedding. Everyoneraved about the food and the staff. It's so cliche but it was the best night of my life. These are just some snaps fromfriends' phones. I may update when I get the professional photos.

Whelan's is my favorite spot in the area. Their back rooftop patio is one of the best in the city, and gives a "Secret Garden"... vibe. Their food is fantastic. The menu has evolved and improved since we started frequenting Whelan's in 2014, so if youhaven't tried it in recent years it's worth going again. Everything they offer is great, but I particularly like their chickensandwich and their burger. The chicken sandwich has a delicious sauce, and the chicken has the perfect amount of batter. Theburger is simple but high quality, it doesn't need gimmicks and odd toppings to make it good. We get takeout from Whelan'sfrequently, and it's well packaged so the food quality stays high.
