Flatiron and Firkin - Toronto

We ate at this location with our 9 year old son earlier this week while visiting Toronto. The place is located right on the corner of a very busy intersection and so our meal on the patio was punctuated by constant noise from cars, trucks and police sirens. The selection of beer at this location was very disappointing and not at all what I would expect at any decent 'pub'. The selection consisted of the standard big brewery offerings (bud, blue, canadian etc..) At a traditional pub I would have at least expected some micro-brews to be available. If you enjoy a good beer, I wouldn't bother with this place.The menu is a very traditional pub style with things like fish & chips, bangers and mash and chicken curry. Despite the noise, my family enjoyed their food. I had only one complaint regarding the curry. It was INCREDIBLY spicy - which was not noted anywhere on the menu. My partner, who had eaten at the Flatiron in the past remembered (only after I had received my meal) that he had been warned off of the curry due to it's spicyness at his last visit so I am quite annoyed that there still was not any note on the menu or that the wait staff did not provide the same warning this time. Despite the 'heat' I managed to eat a little bit by requesting additional riata, though I feel that it did spoil the flavor a little. Over all, I wouldn't be beating a path back to eat here, it was 'ok' but nothing special. Perhaps with a better beer selection and a more robust menu I may consider it, but with so many other choices in the area it would be a hard sell.

Stumbled upon this while wandering Toronto. Sat on the patio and enjoyed great food and service. When it started to rain, even though we were done eating, the staff let us move indoors to finish our conversation! Great place - highly recommend!

Centrally located with the standard Firkin menu & fare! Service was a lot better than the last time that we were here!

A good place to go with friends (or for after work drinks) to hang out and enjoy the outdoors - reminds me on London a little bit!

Wanted to have an evening with friends while we were all in the city for a convention. We able to reserve ahead online for the 8 of us. The food was excellent and the flight of beer let us try a variety of tastes before getting a draft with our meal. Only drawback; there was a large group not far and they were kind of noisy.
