We sat on the patio which was nice and quiet. We are elderly and my husband has hearing problem but outdoor seating with an earlier reservation was perfect.

The overall food and service was very good. People who have difficulty with stairs should probably not go here, since all the washrooms are in the basement.

We visited Northern Maverick Brewery to catch a Stanley Cup Finals playoff game with the family, and it was a fantastic experience. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and fast. The food hit the mark across the board. We ordered wings, calamari, and pizzas for the kids, and everything came out hot and well-prepared. The popcorn was a surprisingly great touch, too. The atmosphere is lively but comfortable, with great screens throughout the space—perfect for watching the game without missing a moment. I’d describe the menu as upscale pub fare, executed really well. It strikes a nice balance between casual and refined. Overall, a great spot for food, drinks, and sports with family or friends. We’ll definitely be back!

The food and service are always outstanding. I find the music a little too loud and the heaters on the outdoor patio far too intense for my liking. We moved to a different table to try to sit farther from the heaters.
