Went for lunch. The service was great. Had the hells chicken sandwich with poutine. Really nice. The beer here is the best. Highly recommend it!
A very warm, friendly pub on the Danforth that includes great food, friendly staff, along with a wonderful selection of craft beer and a really fun atmosphere!
It's also a wonderful place to hang out for a filmmaker like myself, that's got a thesis screenplay to write. You've gotta check it out, cause you won't be disappointed!
Great atmosphere, food was amazing,,,, if you like salmon, it's a must have!!! Friendly staff. Will definitely go back again.
Great selections of craft beer made by them and some other “locals”. Thai coconut lemongrass IPA is a must. Food exceeded expectations. Staff were super friendly ; owner even came by to see how things were and was really engaged which is nice to see.
Bring your family on Sunday night for dinner and a movie; they run family movies Sundays at six on a giant screen tv upstairs.
Food was awsome the chicken sandwich is tasty along with beer and great staff!

It was fantastic and the service was great. We all enjoyed our food choices and the beers. ,The margarita was yummy to. We will definitely venture back when we visit the Danforth area again. Cheers
Has been a home to me since day one! Always great beers and a high level of attention to detail. Have had many great nights there.
Was across the street for wings the other day that were no bigger than my pinky finger. I should've come here right away. Large, tender, juicy wings! Sauced just right and a savoury Frite to pair with my beer. Great place to watch the game. I'll be back !
Dinner and drinks with friends, was wonderful!!! Great atmosphere, friendly polite staff, a great evening❤️😊
Nice drinks & cocktails......and delicious food! Friendly staff.....definitely going back🥂
I don't get to the Danforth often, I enjoy having lunch or dinner at Louis Cifer Beerworks. They are one of the best brew pubs in the city and worth the trip from wherever you're at.
Fantastic service! The selection of craft and other beer was good. The specials are the way to go when ordering food!

Great food! Great drinks! Great staff! What more can I say...I love it here!!!
It's no secret; I love beer! When walking down the Danforth, it's only natural that I would end up at Louis Cifer. It's a delightful brewery and restaurant. They have a great beer selection, both their own and local. This is a large venue, with upstairs and patio seating. This place is great for large groups! I've been there a few times and each visit was devilishly fab.
Came here for a birthday. Had some great pub fare and the beer was very good. Service was amazing and the owner is really cool. Has a great vibe and was packed. Definately will come again.
I have mixed emotions about this spot but overall my experience was good and I would come back, just not as a regular.
It's a good place if you have a larger group and don't know where to go as there is so much space in this restaurant that it's easy to accommodate. The downfall is the long wait for food. It seemed like the more people you had to more drawn out everything was - taking an order, bringing the order, getting the bill.
The upside is that there's a wide selection of brews to choose from and drinks are served quickly! I really enjoy beer so it's near trying new ones out. I wouldn't say there was one beer that stood out the most to me. A flight of 4 is relatively inexpensive so you can try multiple taps.
Service was friendly but could have been a bit more attentive.

Definitely a 4 Star experience because of the selection of beers on taps! Here at Louis Cifer Brew Works, you can do a beer flight of 4 for $10 from any beers they have on taps. The selection is huge as this includes beers from other local breweries!
The vibe is friendly and inviting. Bartender is really knowledgeable and patience. So if you have any question about tasting profile or what to order, don't hesitate to ask.
We were here on a Friday around 4 pm and it was not busy but the place was packed when we leave at 6 pm!
I cannot comment on the food as all I needed was beers!
Thai PA (Coconut Lemongrass)
Raspberry+Rosehip Hefe
Extra Special Bitter
Witcraft Belgian Wheat
Dark Horse Espresso Pale Ale
Original Sin Blonde
American Gothic Brown Ale
Oasthouse Crop Duster (The only one on my flight that is not by LCBW)
Love the catchy names. The Dark Hose Espresso has light with just a hint of coffee which was interesting and we enjoyed most of beers!
Definitely one of the better options for beer lovers if you are in The Danforth area. For real beer geek, The Only Cafe still a better choice. But if you want to have a place for a date night. LCBW probably will be a much better choice
I was here with the family for dinner recently. It's a brew pub locate on the heavily competitive Danforth - tons of great restaurants in the area. We found it when visiting during Taste of the Danforth in the summer and were sufficiently curious to return for a meal.
Decor is pretty standard brew pub - lots of woods and glass, high tops, etc. Staff was professional and friendly.
The menu provides a pretty wide range of pub like options - we tried several items and all were good to very good. The food won't disappoint but I wasn't blown away either.
The real attraction here is the beer - good selection and those brews we tried were uniformly excellent. If you're not into craft beer you'll still find something but their own offerings are worth it.
Seven of us cost about $200 tip in and including the bar tab. Pretty reasonable for a group of this size and considering the kids left happy that's a big plus. I will definitely visit again.
I visited Louis Cifer BW today for the Italy/Spain game. The restaurant wasn't busy so they happily turned the game sound on. We tried the wings @ $16 for 1.2lbs (x2). We ordered the Buffalo, Suicide, and Death by Chocolate. The Buffalo wings were excellent - juicy and very tasty. The suicide were nice...not very hot but good flavour. The Death by Chocolate were, umm, unique. They packed a punch but I was happy to only have a few and not a full order. They weren't bad but they were not the greatest. Spice hit you in the throat...not the tongue. All in all, great wings. Expensive though. I wouldn't return for that reason...you can get good wings for a better price.

Gord and I had supper this evening at Louis Cifer. It opened in October 2014 and it's been on my radar for a while.
The bathroom signs are fun.
In addition to selling beer from other providers, they brew their own beer onsite. You can buy a growler to take home. Gord started with the ESB (and liked it) and I stuck with the Original Sin Blonde (which I liked). His favourite was the Retox IPA (a one-off).
Gord ordered with Mac 'n Cheese Poppers. I had one and it was good. Gord enjoyed them and said he'd get them again. Gord and I both got Jumbo Wings. I got mine with Stout Sweet BBQ sauce and they were messy and delicious. Gord's were Lemon Salt 'n Pepper Dry. I had one and it was good. It had just a hint of seasoning and looked and tasted grilled. We would both get them again. I found the wingettes a bit small but the drumettes were closer to "jumbo".
I was still hungry so ordered a piece of chocolate cake. It was just okay and I wouldn't order it again. The berries and whipped cream were good.
The place was jammed and there was lots of friendly staff buzzing around checking on how things were which was nice. Alex was our server and she took excellent care of us.
We'll be back!
Thumbs up. Great place. Hipster like atmosphere but very friendly staff make everyone feel welcome. Nice large reno'd interior space. Above average bar menu. Will definitely go back.
Good -- would return, for sure. First of all, the night we went they played 80s music non-stop. How could you not love that? :)
I was surprised at how busy it was. After 417 and whatever was there before, it is so nice to see that huge space finally put to good use. There is nothing else like this place on the Danforth -- not too cool or trendy, but enough to make you feel like it's a night out.
As for the food, well... it's okay. We only tried two dishes -- the nachos and the steak sandwich. The nachos were great, the sandwich was blah. Fries were good. Beer was good, too -- we ordered a beer cocktail that was pleasantly large (and inexpensive).
Will definitely go back!
So glad to see this addition to the Danforth. Delicious food, lovely service and tasty beer in a sharp looking decor - what more could you want? The home made root beer is wonderfully unsweet with a delightful lingering taste.
The fondue was very tasty and the kale salad was great. We'd love to see just one brunchy type special on the weekend but other than that it was exactly what we wanted. We hope Louis Cifer is devilishly successful.

It totally works.. Those of us who live around the Danforth have been eyeing this place get set up for months. We've seen restaurants come and go here, because the space is huge, and when Myth left, nothing has had the ability to fill the house since. Until Louis Cifer :) This is their first official weekend, and thank God we made reservations. The place was packed with happy people, and the flow of people through the door between 8:00 and 9:30 when we left was constant. We think this place has staying power. First, it's a brew pub, so you can buy the beer, and drink the product. From beer flights to brew-infused cocktails, the beer scene here is amazing. The bar menu has lots to offer beyond beer, but the beer cocktails have me returning. The menu is large enough to provide variety, but no so huge it will compromise the kitchen. Star starters for us included pork belly rinds (OMG) and the ribs (OMG OMG). Dinner was Hell's Chicken sandwiches, which were amazing. Totally loved the fries. So many restaurants fall down on the fries. Louis has the shoestring, perfect fries happening. This place is a slick machine, without feeling fake. FABULOUS staff have been trained really well for such a new place. Every detail from the logo to the decor is really professional. The room (two floors of it) was abuzz with happy people, everywhere, from families to older couples, to first daters, to singles. Erin, the owner, should be thrilled to death, sore feet and all :) If right after opening, packed to the rafters, her staff can serve without huge delays, and the kitchen can pump out amazing food at that pace, she's likely to last here in our hood for a while :))))) Just keep taking reservations, Erin! We don't do lineups ;)
