Description

So, let me tell you about this spot I stumbled upon in Toronto, called Riptide Beach Pub. Nestled right on Queen St E, this place brings a bit of a tropical vibe to your usual pub fare. Imagine burgers and tacos but with a twist from the beaches of Hawaii and Caribbean—sounds intriguing, right?

The layout’s pretty neat, with a spacious outdoor patio that’s perfect for those lazy summer afternoons, and you can even bring your dog along, which is a definite plus. The atmosphere? It’s almost like you’re sipping drinks by the ocean, minus the actual ocean—though the chill tunes help set that casual beachy mood.

Now, I gotta be honest, not every experience there is flawless. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the food, with some raving about the Taiwanese chicken burger being huge and flavorful, while others found their duck bao lacking—like, barely any duck at all. But hey, maybe it depends on the chef that day or the crowd.

In terms of service, it seems to swing from stellar to…well, a bit forgettable. One reviewer mentioned the waiter seemed to be off in another world, while others praised the staff for being friendly and attentive. That’s the unpredictability you kinda expect from a local pub, isn’t it?

They’re open for brunch, lunch, and dinner, and even serve takeout, which is handy if you feel like munching by the beach. Just keep in mind they’re closed on Mondays. Overall, Riptide’s got that mix of beach vibes and pub food that could be your next casual hangout—if you’re in the area, it’s worth a shot!
