My date and I stumbled on the Mill Street Brewpub in the Distillery District in downtown Toronto while on a quest for ice cream the other night. This brewpub reminds me of BJ’S in Los Angeles, but with two key differences; the beer is 100 times better and the waitresses wear cute Catholic schoolgirl skirts. Although the atmosphere is very commercial, the suds are sensational. The menu is vast, covering everything from Mexican to sandwiches and other pub grub. This is not a gastro pub by any means, but on Monday nights they do $4.99 appetizers which are a great bargain. We ordered several pints of beer, nachos, calamari and the bison burger sliders. The nachos are the best bet. They're loaded with three cheeses, jalapeños, olives (a strange condiment, but it works) salsa, guacamole and sour cream. That would have been enough of a snack for all three of us. The calamari were frozen and the bison sliders were dry. Since I am a Mexican food fanatic and a nachos nut, I do recommend the nachos for you and your date.
The bottom line Mill Street produces great beer and has a lively atmosphere.
