Queen’s Head

This is a great British Pub. They’ve got a cool menu with curries. Had the tandoori wrap and it was great! Plus in the summer the pub is «open air» which is great.

I come here regularly. They always have sports on, the staff are decent, the beers are priced well, and the food is great. All summer they’ve had $ 5 PBR’s and ½ price wings on Sun/​Mon. Can’t go wrong there.
What sold me on Queen’s Head:
We came back from the downtown core one Saturday night around midnight almost 1 and these guys were still open, which is huge for sleepy Leslieville. That Irish Cottage place down the street was done, everyone on the north side of that stretch was done, so it was either QH or the Duke or walk allll the way to Murphy’s Law no thanks. Nothing against the Duke but we decided to go into QH that night.
Well the kitchen was still going, they had some decent music pumping, the food was as good as during the day and timely and delicious, so it seems the kitchen standards don’t suddenly drop off after a certain hour like some places. The service was still decent, these guys keep business going at a consistent level at all hours from what I can see. The atmosphere was great I felt like I hadn’t left the core. They haven’t let me down yet and their wings are EXCELLENT especially the no-​sauce ones, crisped to perfection.
As someone else pointed out they can sometimes be slow to get to you, but that’s because most people (locals) just wander in, sit wherever they want and call the girls over when they’re ready. It’s kind of laid-​out funny with two separate rooms and some booths and tables along the edge, and it’s dark at night so sometimes the girls miss you so just gotta wave your arms a bit, don’t sit there with your nose in the air expecting everyone to notice you and come running over. Also, the sweet potato fries are great. Kid-​friendly too and in the summer the big windows are open so you can tie your dogs up outside.
Just an all-​around darn good pub IMHO.

I want to show this place a bit more love than I see on other reviews, because I haven’t had a problem during any of my half a dozen (or so — maybe more at this point?) visits.
We usually go on Wednesday nights. The place usually isn’t crowded, and they are always able to accommodate no matter how large the group.
The food is pretty standard pub fare, but the serving sizes are massive. I have never once left feeling like my hunger hasn’t been vanquished. The club sandwich is really sizeable, and the fries are awesome. I’ve enjoyed their all-​day breakfast, and their thai green curry is a really awesome and hearty option if you’re looking for something gluten-​free.
The service has always been on point, and we’ve never had an issue with being ignored or not getting our food in a timely manner. It’s also a great place to watch a game, as there are TVs everywhere, not to mention a large screen and projector for bigger events.
All in all, it’s not fancy, but it is consistent, delicious, and you will get your money’s worth.

Went here for dinner with friends on a Wednesday night. Service and food was good. I had the burger and it was cooked nicely. Beer on tap included Left Field, Junction and Beaus. Will definitely go back.

Horrible pub!!! They don’t put on the volume for sports games and always show stupid stuff like women’s soccer that nobody watches. No offense to women’s soccer I support it but when everyone’s watching something else you should give people what they want. . don’t show what you like all over the place. HORRIBLE!!!

Have ordered from this restaurant before and have enjoyed the food. My last order they changed the turkey in my cobb salad for bacon and no one in my household eats pork. Nobody called us before making the switch. By the time we sat down to eat it was late and just tossed them out and ate Kraft Dinner instead. Perhaps a call would have been nice and we would have picked something else. Two salads cost them really good customers.

Not a review of the food.
Place was not what we expected. Menu seemed very expected. Food sightings on neighbouring tables were not pleasant.
We waited 5 minutes without being served before we decided to politely change our minds and fled.
Won’t be giving them a second chance.

11 $ calamari app; 11 $ lb of wings; Several types of poutine for around 8 $.
Ceasar brunch special: 4 $!
Pretty typical respectably cheap bar.
When it first opened I was excited. Thought it would provide an alternative to the remarkably sleazy Dukes across the street. It did… Somewhat. Everything about this place is slightly less downtrodden than Dukes. But only slightly. And they don’t have the AMAZING patio that Dukes has.
The staff here is cuter (why they didn’t hire me, I’ll never know). And one feels less like a coke addict here (you can feel in your bones how much coke has gone up noses in the washrooms across the street). There have also been less people shot here.

This pub has become our local as it’s literally around the corner from us so it makes stopping in for a quick bite a little too easy. I’m a big fan of the chicken wings, specifically the Thai sweet chili and jerk sauces, the standard «hot» doesn’t really standout for me. I’m also a poutine fan and their Indian version with a butter chicken sauce is indulgent and worth it!
If you’re in on a game night (hockey or football) it’ll likely be playing on a big screen. They realize groups tend to watch sports together and have catered to this with several large tables. However you want to arrive early as tables fill up quickly.
I also want to callout the staff which have always been super friendly. And that was before we became regulars. They are prompt and do their best to avoid blocking the TVs while they work.
All in all, totally worth stopping by. And if you’re into supporting local they’ve got Left Field on tap!

Let me start by saying I’d give this place a 3.5
THE GOOD:
Clean, friendly, and great selection of beers. The food is decent pub grub: wings, nachos and butter chicken were all tasty and well priced. If you’re looking for artisnal food there are many other places to go in Leslieville, but if you’re looking for a decent sports bar I recommend.
THE BAD:
The TVs behind the bar are not strategically laid out. Some portions seem small (skimpy toppings on the nachos) and every time I finished my beer I had to ask for another (rather than the waitress/​bar staff staying atop of it, which to some might not be a bad thing).

OK. I was not sure about this place but decided not to judge it by the cover.
Is Queen’s Head a pub, a sports bar (given the # of tv’s) or an aspiring Leslieville hipster bar? All of the above it appears. Music was loud and annoying. Appetizer (from the sports bar part of the central kitchen brain) was terrible.
Pass this place up and go next door to Hitch.

I have been waiting for this place to open since they put up their signage a couple months ago as the Eastender closed.
Unfortunately this place has missed the mark for Leslieville.
With pub food like McGugan’s nearby I was hoping they would have raise their level higher than a chain pub.
All the food seems to be frozen from my account. So, you do get what you pay for. I knew as soon as I saw the prices what type of quality to expect.
They did not seem to have anything to set them apart. The wait staff was just ok, it took a while each time I was there to get a beer refill.
I went once for beers with a friend from out of town and back for dinner with my wife.
Neither of the people I went with were at all impressed.
I did leave two stars as the only redeeming quality in my opinion was the space. It was nice with the open garage doors on a summer-​like September evening.
