Kid-friendly Pub: Steamworks
Let’s face it. Kids aren’t always welcome at pubs. But when you want to catch the Stanley Cup finals, grab a pint, and eat some tasty treats, a pub is the best bet. Head to Steamworks, the only spot in Canada making beer with a steam powered brewery (eight varieties made on site). No official kids menu, but plenty of recommendations from staff (and hearty discounts) for the little tykes.
