Etoh Brasserie is described as a friendly microbrewery with a strong beer program and a varied menu that pairs well with drinks. The space is beautiful with plenty of natural light and a welcoming vibe, making it a good spot for a small group or a casual night out. Service is generally fast and friendly, with many reviewers praising the beer and the lively atmosphere at a reasonable price. A few points of critique include the TV screens used as menus behind the bar, which can be hard to read in bright daylight and give the room a more clinical feel. Some guests feel that items like salsa and sour cream with nachos are overpriced. Several dishes receive praise, such as the snails as an entree, pepperoni pizza, poutine, and chicken, and the overall experience is described as enjoyable and worth returning to, though some think the pricing could better reflect the quality and the menu could be more legible and warmer than TVs.
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!
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.

Amazing experience. Sam was one of the friendliest people we met on our trip to Canada. The beer was excellent, the gin & tonic was unique. I also tried a few candies whiskeys which were delicious. All & all great experience & I would definitely recommend.
Food is nothing fancy but it's not overpriced. It's not a gastro-pub & I wouldn't recommend making dinner plans there but the build your own plank & nachos are super nice.
Big fan of this brewery Great selection of beers, highly recommend the saison. I've been a few times & find the staff amazing, super attentive & friendly.
