Pharmacy Bar

Nice little spot. Great service. Great staffService: 5/5

The excellent bartenders know exactly how to pour a proper pint of Guinness, no one bothers you if you don’t want to be bothered, and people are treated with equal kindness no matter what.

Great spot! Staff know their stuff and the selection is superbService: 5/5

Great tunes. Good place to just relax and have a beer after work. Friendly customers. But also a place you can just zone out and mind your business. Dog friendly. Which is pretty rad.

Don't know how to describe it, really. This is a chill bar with chill people. No frills. Great staff. Owner is a good conversationalist and very knowledgeable about the beers sold. Good for being a barfly and just listening to others. Some would call it a dive. Some consider it an industry bar. I personally love it.

One of the best beer bars in the city, tucked away in a neat little corner in Parkdale. Great selections of great local and beyond beer at solid prices. Liquor list is also great and has an overall comfortable atmosphere. Liberty Village and other 905 trash tend to think the service is rude or somehow bad but that's because they're used to service workers bending over backwards and taking the abuse. Not that the service is rude or bad mind you, there's just no space for fluff here. Pharmacy is unapologetic in what it is and it won't compromise its own dignity for outsiders. In short: great beer, great atmosphere, great staff, great music, great people. One of the neighborhood gems.

Went in here on Sunday night with some friends, this was before closing time.. we’d just wanted to get some drinks to go.. the guy who worked there ‘Brodie’, not sure if that’s even his real name told us he wouldn’t serve us I guess due to closing, and maybe cause we looked young but we all had our id we argued it was before closing time, than he asks us what we wanted and asked to see our id, he than said he only took cash and appointed us to the ATM in the bar, we went to the ATM and minutes later he told us he wasn’t gonna serve us, which didn’t sit well with us, only cause he was being very indecisive about weather he would serve us or not , like why tell us he only took cash than appoints us to the ATM only to say again he wasn’t gonna serve us afterward? I’m sorry but it just doesn’t make sense.. he also said he didn’t care about getting bad reviews.. all in all very ignorant and no way to treat potential customers.. and who wouldn’t want to make more money?

A great place for a cold beer or a nice drink. Incredible beer selection and great customer service. The vibe is right

Chris is a champ. Want a beer tailored to your tastes, ask him...he’ll make sure you’re good. Want a fancy “crafted cocktail” made by a dude in a denim or leather apron, this is not your place. Great music, a knowledgeable bartender/owner that cares about his patrons unless you’re a douche nozzle. Randomly doesn’t charge me for drinks !?!

First, let me say the food here is excellent. The pretzels the owner leaves out are nicely salted and presented in an unpretentious fashion. Also, I appreciate the near pitch black lighting as the owner is clearly an environmentalist who is cutting down on his bar's carbon footprint. Highly recommend.
