Etoh Brasserie is a popular casual microbrewery in Villeray with on site beer and a varied menu that pairs well with snacks and shareable plates. Reviewers praise a friendly, attentive staff, a welcoming vibe, and good value, with many enjoying unique menu items, craft beers, and events like oyster nights and community gatherings. The atmosphere is described as lively and sociable, though it can be loud or crowded, and a few notes mention pricey extras on nachos. Food quality gets mixed signals, with standout dishes like fried chicken and poutine and some less successful offerings such as a frozen meat dish or a burger with questionable texture. The space is noted for inclusivity, comfortable seating, and non gendered bathrooms, contributing to a neighborhood feel. Overall, Etoh Brasserie comes across as a reliable choice for a casual drink or a small group night, delivering strong beer, solid service, and a convivial vibe, while price and occasional kitchen hiccups temper a few visits.
Awesome place! Great beer, fast service. If I could make one small critique… (& please don't let this stop you from visiting), the space is beautiful, lots of great natural light during the day… but the TV screen menus behind the bar don't add value. From a functional perspective they're hard to read with natural light coming in. From a form perspective they're cold & devoid of any character in a room that is otherwise really well thought out. I love the bar seats (reclaimed I believe?), the bar surface, the bar seats by the window, nice touches in the washrooms, etc. the place would just look a lot more aesthetically congruent with something other than TVs as menus.
In my humble opinion, there's an opportunity here to replace them with some kind of organic/physical menu that's far more legible, fun & warm than the TVs. Whether it's just a simple chalkboard or something that adopts the motif & fonts of 70s flip clocks, those 80s plastic menu boards with clip on characters, the ideas are numerous, & maybe cliche, but they'd all do more for the place than HDTV menus which are better placed in fast food restaurants than a brewpub that's trying to create a relationship with its products. We see enough screens in our lives.
Like I said though, a minor thing, no real reason not to go!
Une des meilleures brasseries dans le coin. Proche du métro, bonne nourriture & une superbe sélection de boissons.
Parfait pour un 5@7 ou pour une petite soirée entre amis

Great place to hang out but they immediately need to stop charging people extra for the salsa & the sour cream with the nachos. It's giving cheap & desperate. You're better than this. Thank you.
A great place to have a good time with a small group of friends. I recommend having the snails as an entree, the peperroni pizza & a craft beer for a great experience.
Staff respectueux, nourriture delicieuse, ambiance décontracté & en plus il y a une exposition d'un artiste local, je me sent en vibration avec cette établissement, j'adore :) de plus le prix etais vraiment raisonnable comparer a certain autre bistro bar. A y retourner définitivement:)
