Our Story

Every Seat
Has a Story

Tucked into Church Street across from the storied Maple Leaf Gardens, Hair of the Dog has been a gathering place for Torontonians who love good beer, real food, and even better company.

We're an upscale neighbourhood pub — which means craft pints alongside elevated pub fare, and a fireplace that earns its keep all winter long.

Delirium on Tap
& Much More

We're proud to pour Delirium Tremens — the legendary Belgian ale — straight from the tap. Alongside it, a rotating lineup of craft beers, cask ales, local favourites, and your go-to domestics.

Whatever you're in the mood for, there's always something cold and worth trying at our bar.
