Details & Description
Against the Grain is the latest concept bringing urban chic to Toronto's Harbourfront. Located in the Corus Entertainment Building right next to Sugar Beach, this Urban Tavern is perfectly situated within walking distance to downtown, allowing you to relax and enjoy the spectacular view of Lake Ontario and the Toronto Island. Against the Grain is a casual Urban Tavern where people gather to enjoy Maple Chipotle Wings with a local brew, Pulled Pork braised in dark beer and molasses, Stone Baked Pizzas or traditional cocktails with a twist. All served in a sophisticated presentation and service. Unique local and European brews are tapped regularly along with interesting new and old world wines. Check out our rotating line up of Canadiana, Locals Only and the Traveller's Tap - always serving you new and exciting flavours. Of course we can't forget the cocktails including our own signature "Against the Grain" made with Canadian whiskey. more... See more text

Food is consistently excellent. Our waitress, Natasha, was awesome - friendly, efficient, and attentive. This is why we keep going back for an affordable but tasty meal.

The view is beautiful but the service was absolutely awful and the food was only average. The drinks are good though. Good place to just come for a drink and enjoy the view.

Best five Toronto restaurants to eat during Winterlicious

This casual, comfy Corus building fave invites beach-lovin’ fans to come by and munch on such Winterlicious-inspired extravagances as a salt-and-pepper calamari tacos, red Thai coconut curry and house-made pistachio ice cream while regarding the frozen state of the beach in their line of vision. Lots of international and local brews help dull the pain that comes with realizing how far afield summer still is.

Best Restaurants for a City Getaway in Toronto

If you are searching for actual water, this is the place to be. Nestled right next to Sugar Beach, you’ve got the sun, water and sand all at your feet. That, and a big menu to indulge in your cottage-y cravings. So sit back in the cushion-y patio furniture and soak up some rays while you tuck into burgers, salads, Lake Erie Pickerel, Cast Iron Seared Atlantic Salmon and Smoked Ontario Pork Ribs with some drinks and good friends. It’s time to celebrate - who says you need a place outside of the city to do that?
