The Feathers Pub

Go for lunch once or twice a month and will continue to do so. Food is great as is the service. Thanks Feathers!

Feather’s is probably the best pub in the Upper Beach area. Amazing Scotch collection, great beers on tap, and good pub fare, like cottage pie, Welsh rarebit and Cornish pasty (my fave). Kid-​friendly area in the back, and drinkin-​friendly up front.

This very British feeling pub has consistently impressed me with their food. It can be rather busy though and service can be a bit slow then, but one of my favourite places on Kingston. Draws a bit of an older crowd, but that’s not a bad thing.
I just wish they would some more seasoning, salt even, to the gravy.

Lovely cozy traditional British pub with diverse menu including a very tasty brunch on weekends! Staff are very friendly, and lots of welcoming locals from the area.

First time in there in Oct. 2014. Great service, very helpful, very good selection of beers and especially whiskey. I didn’t expect the food to be as good as it was. Nicely presented, good atmosphere. Can only recommend this place.

I really enjoyed the Liver & Onions and that’s a rare dish these days, hard to cook, and it was excellent. The portion was generous, and the meat was cooked to perfection. I paired it with the perfect ale. HOWEVER, because I was driving I asked for a soda water afterwards, and was kinda disgusted to see it was $ 3 on the bill. Now I know you think I’m a cheap skate, but listen. I eat dinner and drink beers (and soda water) a lot at west end bars like Drake, Gladstone and Cadillac and Rhino and NOT ONCE HAVE I EVER PAID FOR SODA WATER after a meal. Not once. The waitress just doesn’t charge for it because it comes out of the fountain and costs about a half a cent ! add a quarter slice of lime and it costs 22.5 cents. So I complained and the waitress turned on the Tude and so she got NO tip and then proceeded to sulk and it was deplorable. Had she not charged me for soda I would have given her approx ten buck tip because the liver and onions was excellent. Now because of her mostly, I’ll never set foot in the place again.

Been going to Feathers for a real long time now. Never had a bad meal and had many a fine ale there.

I would never expect I can find something like The Feathers Pub in this area.
Over 400 Single Malts from over 100 distilleries! I don’t think I can really make up my mind what to order! But they do have Feature flights ($ 65) that changes monthly or you can just pick one of the Whisky tours from $ 25.
Imports and Local Craft Beer! Their House Beers are Feather’s Lager and Feather’s Red brewed by Great Lakes Breweries. Black Oak and Cheshire Valley’s beers also available on taps!
We ended up coming here during Robbie Burns Day and the place was packed. The crowd was friendly and having a good time dancing to the lively music from the live performance. Do check their website for the most updated information as you might prefer coming on a quieter night if you want to enjoy your flight tasting and talk to the staff about single malts.
The Feathers Pub is a awesome pub if you want to come chill with friends and sip on some whiskies!

Dropped in with a bunch of friends to celebrate «Robbie Burns Day». Once the door was opened, you were serenaded with guitar, lyrics, a fiddle and guests dancing a jig all in honour of Mr. Burns! My kind of pub, considering my heritage backround, I felt right at home. Yes, they do occasionally have live bands here, but mostly it seems that the only real entertainment you need are good friends, the atmosphere of the pub will take care of the rest! Their selection of whiskeys is phenomenal and endless, there is NO WAY you would be able to sample them in an evening, Let alone a week, possibly a month, SERIOUSLY! The menu looks like a great selection of foods, both finger and entrée. The interior is not huge, but lined with RED PUFFY cushioned benches with wood tables in front and your normal bar in which is adorned with the USUAL customers. The bathrooms were in good state, kept clean, but not huge. Overall, I was very happy, comfortable and at home, we’ll definitely be back no matter what the celebration is for, even just for ourselves!

This place was hopping for a Saturday night, we waited for at least half an hour for a table that could seat seven of us. They had a live band playing popular scottish folk songs, as it was Bobby Burns night, a little bit on the loud side in there, but enjoyable none the less. They have a wide selection of scotch to choose from to suite your persnal taste, like The Glenlivet, if you prefer your scotch to be served neat or on the rocks, or a simple house scotch for the less bold who prefer scotch and water. Note, the higher the age of the scotch, the more money you’ll be paying. They also have excellent beer on tap, such as Innis &Gunn. I will definately go back again!!!

Good food, good service, reasonable price. Three and a half stars, actually.

Things are slipping…
I’m wondering if Feathers’ long success is affecting their attention to detail. I’ve eaten at feathers at least 75 times in the past five years — It has always been our neighbourhood pub of choice.
Sure, food service has always been a little slow but its a pub. Who’s in a hurry? If you have a pint you can wait and converse.
Last night I and 2 fellow diners arrived for our meal sat a table in a largely empty restaurant and waited. No drinks, no food. One waitress was on the phone and the bartender stood at a table near the front and talked with 2 customers. After about 10 – 15 minutes we left and ate elsewhere.
To be honest, due to location we will probably return at some point but it will be a long time before Feathers is our pub of choice.

Had a great brunch with my love there.
Nice & quiet, on a Sunday morning at least.
Brunch Menu was well populated. I had a Western Sammy and wife had French Toast. Both were well above average. My coffee was decent and refilled several times, her orange juice was… juicy.
As our relaxed morning moved along it did start to fill up inside, mostly with an interesting mix of older British seniors out for their weekly tomato juice and some regulars looking for some hair of the dog.
Food was good, place was clean and quiet. I dont need much more for brunch.
Regular menu looked nice as well. They have a daily soup, quiche and flatbread special for those interested

The Feathers is a great place to go for some really solid food and some great beer. Cozy atmosphere as you can tell by the photos. Really good food. My wife and I have had quite a few items off of their menu and all of them were good. Wings are a bit small in size but the waitress was up front about that.
Great atmosphere, great service, great pub.
Their live music was only OK, but we’ve only seen it once.

This place is a neighbor pub where people of all ages go. Amazing selection of Scotch whiskey! The tap is not bad at all too. As for food, we were very happy with what we ordered. Mussels and wings are a must. The service has always been great. A lot of smiles!

Second trip to the Beaches area in a couple of months and this is the best pub yet! Service was exceptional, Food was terrific had the mussels for an appetizer and they were obviously cooked by a chef who knows how to prepare them. Their home brewed Feathers Red is actually better than the Killians I normally drink in the states. Will be stopping back in when I return to Toronto.

Great British pub with traditional fare. It gets very busy and a little crowded on the weekends as there is usually a band. Sticky toffee pudding is great. I’ve heard they have the largest scotch or whiskey collection in North America.

I agree. Beer wise there’s little competition around. That’s about all they have going for them. If you want good food, good service and management that cares, this pub is not impressive. Basically the regular clientele run the show.
I gave it a chance. Feathers is a fail.

Beer wise. This place is the best in Toronto. They always have a delicious cask on tap and have dozens of great local ales and imports from the UK. The décor is dated but does feel like a jaunt to the past. Because of this and the neighbourhood, I am often the youngest person in the joint and the only one without grey hair (aside from the friendly bar staff).
Food is fairly good and cheap. Very much english pub fare. But I go here for the beer, not the food although the shepherd pie and meatloaf are both yum!

As an expat Brit, as soon as I walked in the door, this place had the EXACT vibe of many of the London pubs I used to frequent after work.
Forget about all the fake plastic «British» pubs you might see Downtown; this is the real deal. Its as if they airlifted a pub from London, flew it across the Atlantic, and set it down carefully on Kingston Road.
The food was top notch and the beer was good — I think it was an ale I had. They have an excellent selection of whisky too.
It’s pretty far out but worth the taxi ride to get here. (Streetcar service along Kingston Road depends on the phases of the moon, planetary alignments and where the TSX 30 composite closed the previous day. What I’m trying to say is don’t count on a streetcar home.)
This truly is another of Toronto’s best kept secrets, but since this is the first Unilocal review, I feel the cat may be out of the bag.
