In our guest's words

Booked a large section for our department's festive end-of-year dinner. The ambiance was cozy, warm, and highly inviting for a winter gathering.

The kitchen handled our massive table with extreme professionalism, serving hot and high-quality classic pub fare simultaneously so no one was left waiting.

About this event

A festive end-of-year dinner for a whole department, seated together at one long table in a large section of the pub. The review describes the table as massive but does not state a number.

This event was hosted at Firkin on Bay Street, which has since closed permanently after the building it occupied was redeveloped. The same team now runs three pubs across the Greater Toronto Area, and serving a whole department a sit-down festive dinner is very much still something we do.

A December dinner on this scale points to The Goose and Firkin, 1875 Leslie Street, North York. The largest of our three pubs, it seats up to 130 for a meal, takes 176 indoors for a standing reception and reaches 273 at full capacity. If Mississauga is easier for your team, The Drake and Firkin at 6982 Financial Drive seats up to 123 for a meal, reaches 210 at full capacity, and has free parking on site.

The Goose and Firkin at 1875 Leslie Street, North York seats up to 130 for a meal and is another strong choice for a large dinner; downtown teams can look at The FlatIron and Firkin, 49 Wellington Street East, in the historic Gooderham Building, for up to 91.
