You’ll legitimately struggle to find another spot downtown where both the burger and beer game are this strong under one roof. It’s perfect for catching up with friends before a show or game.
So many Toronto spots do big beer lists or burgers, but almost none nail both—especially at this scale. Craft Beer Market feels more like a beer hall than a typical bar, with a surprisingly polished kitchen cranking out craveable, not-just-bar-food burgers and plates. The dedicated tap system is so serious they train staff on beer before anything else.
Craft Beer Market is a sprawling, industrial-feeling restaurant in the heart of the Entertainment District, perfect for those who take their burgers and beer equally seriously. The kitchen turns out smash burgers that actually get the crispy caramelized crust right, and the beer program reads like a love letter to Ontario craft breweries. The tap list is massive (100+ taps!) and rotates often, giving even regulars new things to discover. Huge windows, lots of bar seating, and communal tables make it great for groups, though it can get pretty busy pre-game or post-show.
Reservations are recommended for groups and on weekends, but there’s usually bar seating for walk-ins, especially earlier in the evening.
The Classic Smash Burger—it’s perfectly crispy, cheesy, and simple, just as a smash burger should be.
Yes, it’s built for groups; there are long tables and booths, and the space can handle large parties, though it gets very busy pre-game or weekend nights.
Most burgers are $17–$22, with pints around $8–$10; definitely mid-range for the area.
