Guelph's Best: Craft Beer Destination

Craft Beer Destination
12 spots make the list in Guelph · ranked by Restaurantica's craft beer destination scoring evaluation
Outstanding
Brothers Brewing Company
8.6House beer and rotating taproom options lead the visit, with current official beer pages supporting lager, IPA, stout, and sour styles.
Baker Street Station
9.5Baker Street Station makes the beer list part of the draw, with a bar menu built around Ontario taps, familiar pub pours, and rotating craft selections. It is the strongest fit when the drink order matters as much as the food.
The Wooly Pub
8.9The Wooly is built around Ontario craft beer, rotating taps, Wellington Harvest beers, and cask culture. The beer list is not background decoration; it is one of the main reasons the pub has stayed specific to Guelph for decades.
Beertown Public House
9.1Beer is the organizing idea here, not a secondary beverage list. The Guelph location pairs a dedicated current beer menu with a draught program built to include local breweries, giving beer drinkers a real reason to choose this room.
The Fixed Gear Canteen Restaurant
8.3Fixed Gear beer is central to the Canteen visit, with house taps, beer cocktails and a food menu built for pints, pizza, wings and casual group orders.
Royal City Brewing & Beer Hall
9.0Royal City is first a craft-beer stop: beer is brewed on site, the Beer Hall carries 15+ taps, and the draught list includes Exhibition IPA, Royal City Lite, Goldie APA, 100 Steps Stout, and more.
Excellent
The Fat Duck Gastro Pub
8.5The beer program is not just background; proper pints and local options make sense with the pub-food core, especially fish, pies, burgers, wings, and shared starters.
Borealis Grille & Bar
8.9The beer list does real work beside the grill menu. Ontario draughts, Guelph-area breweries, and the Elora Borealis collaboration make the beverage side feel connected to the same local-supplier spine as the food.
Good Options
Roy’s Pizza + Bottleshop
8.7The bottleshop gives Roy's a second reason to visit beyond the oven. Craft beer and cider from Southern Ontario producers make the meal feel more like a downtown hangout than a plain takeout counter.
Ward One Smokehouse and Brewery
8.9The brewery identity matters alongside the barbecue, making Ward One more than a straight smokehouse stop.
The Real Deal Sports Bar and Billiards Inc.
8.7Beer matters here because it supports the sports-bar rhythm: draught choices, bottles, cans, coolers, non-alcoholic options, and a Real Deal Ale give the bar side more shape.
