Left Field Brewery is a beloved craft brewery located in Toronto's Leslieville area, just east of the Don River. The taproom is housed in a former auto body shop, giving it an industrial-chic vibe with exposed brick and high ceilings. As the name suggests, the brewery has a strong baseball theme, with beers named after baseball terms and memorabilia adorning the walls. Visitors can sample a rotating selection of beers, from IPAs to stouts, brewed on-site. The taproom features a spacious bar, communal tables, and a patio for warmer months.
