Was hyped to go to Beer Bistro having heard so many great things about the huge selection of beer etc etc etc...
And I have to say, although the beers were good and the selection massive...we were a tad disappointed with the food. We went for brunch and everything looked fantastic and our service was excellent.
There just wasn't anything overly fantastic about the meal. Definitely not the place for brunch, but yes to after work drinks, me thinks.
So here's what we shared for brunch. Some appley-type fritters...
Gorgeous presentation, but not outstanding flavour.
Eggs benedict sandwich, something something. Disappointing.
Certainly had interesting beers...we got a taster ($6 for any 3).
We thought the interior looked like a rock climbing gym...funny blue coloured ceiling with holes in it, stuccoed walls and lights that look like hanging harnesses....
Or maybe we'd just had too much to drink...
It IS called Beer Bistro and not Brunch Bistro for a reason. Go for the drinks.

As far as pub food in the city goes...this place has got to have the blurst (read: worst).
It's got a great atmosphere for after work or late night drinks, but I've got to say the food is absolutely mediocre.
So, the mahi sandwich with fries was just okay...which is not saying much. 
It certainly was better than the chicken skewers, which were...disssssguuuust. 
Unless you like your chicken pinkish....
The bruschetta was alright.
And the fish fritters with chips (crisps) was sub-par.
Thank Guinness for beer! I'm happy my half pint of Guinness was so generous...I needed it!
