The beer selection is praised for freshness and variety, with favorites like nut brown ale, a West Coast IPA, and stout mentioned, and overall quality described as reliable. Food receives mixed but generally positive comments, with crowd pleasers like burgers and poutine, though a few dishes are noted for consistency. Service is described as friendly and efficient on many visits, though some experiences mention delays or order mix ups during peak times. The space is portrayed as cozy and intimate yet busy, with a welcoming vibe and clean facilities, and the patio is suggested for a quieter experience when the music is loud.
Still going strong! It's been about 15 years since I visited & they still have some of the same good beers & a great vibe for meeting friends to chat over a few pints. The service was excellent, friendly & attentive. Definitely happy to see them holding their own with good craft beer.

Nice little spot to grab a drink & enjoy some pub food! Definitely recommend the poutine. The prices are reasonable & portions are generous. The drinks are definitely quite strong! The atmosphere is relaxed & chill, & overall just has great vibes.
Brutopia is a solid spot for a night out! They have cheap drinks, live music, & a friendly vibe thanks to the awesome staff. The food is decent - nothing extraordinary, but it does the job. Overall, it's a great place to hang out with friends & enjoy some live tunes without breaking the bank!
Went on a Sunday & the vibe was off to me. Service was nice & effective, but the patron energy was off. The open mic was alright. There were some good entertainers. Beers were OK. Prices were a bit steep at CAD$9 per beer.
Went there for lunch...the place is looks lil old from inside but the vibes are great. The atmosphere is really good. Our server was great as well. I am a vegetarian & ordered Pita with hummus & vegetarian burger & both were amazing. The vegetarian burger especially was delicious, one of the bests & is a good choice for vegetarians. Had Raspberry blonde which was amazing. Overall a wonderful experience here, would definitely recommend.
Great vibe. Big selection of beers, all which were great & not to expensive. I'm not a craft beer person but this place might make me one. Staff are extremely friendly. I recommend the raspberry beer above the rest. I've never had anything like it. It was smooth & tasted as much like a cream soda as it did a beer. It was delicious. The honey beer & the green beer were also great. Live music on weekends also. Bands are usually pretty good & keep the place pumped up. Will definitely be back & will probably be my new got to especially for beer.
