Best & Cool Bars in Milton

"The elegant downtown bistro on King William Street, the French, serves mouthwatering French cuisine with an international twist. Its signature dish is the gnocchi, made with ricotta cheese rather than potato and are topped with mushrooms, truffle and Parmesan. You can also enjoy traditional fare like delectable crepes, escargot and steak fries, along with items that have Moroccan, Middle Eastern and Spanish North African flavors."

"When locals think of romantic date spots in Hamilton, The French is likely one of the first options that springs to mind. This fine-casual French bistro is a staple of King William Street’s restaurant row, with an aesthetic that’s chic and attractive without feeling unapproachable. You pretty much can’t go wrong with any of the numerous menu options, from lunch to brunch to dinner, salads to sandwiches to steak frites."

"But if you can’t take your date to France, feed them some good French food. This bistro offers an upscale but accessible experience, hinged on quality and simplicity. Start off with a tantalizing appetizer like onion soup or crispy escargot followed by one of their magical mains."

"I won’t go into the embarrassing details, but it was on the night of my birthday, and I was drinking stupidly on an empty stomach and - anyways, the people at The Ship are good sports. Even more importantly, their food is bloody brilliant."

"Fried appetizers, gourmet burgers and fish filled sandwiches are what you'll find at this pub on Augusta Street. They are even serving up grub late night if you find yourself there in the wee hours of the night."

"It was very hard for me to determine a winner between these last two, as I love them both for different reasons. Brux House has more of a fine dining vibe going on, making it the perfect place to take a craft beer fan on a nice date. Brux House has sixteen (!) rotating taps with arguably the most varied beer selection in the city."

"They were so gracious donating all of their perishable items to the Good Shepherd Hamilton. Brux House looks forward to opening their doors and welcoming back all of their find customers. *note * Brux House is not a brewery but exclusively serves wonderful craft beer and is a supporter of the local craft beer community."

"Brux House delivers small plates and inventive cocktails in a trendy Locke Street restaurant. Veggie-based items like “bloomin” brussel sprouts and whole fried broccoli are surprisingly good. For something a little heartier, the mussels and frites are favourites."

"Aside from being a brewery, Merit Brewing is also a bottle shop and a kitchen that offers good food. They work hard to represent the art and character of Hamilton in each food, each beer as well as every experience they share with people. Their culinary and brewing techniques are inspired by the tradition that pushes aromas and flavors to speak on why they brew."

"When it comes to the perfect location in Hamilton for a craft brewery, MERIT nailed it. Another newcomer within the past year, this brewery is located right at James and Wilson across from the August 8 plaza. This one’s for the real craft beer nerds as they are constantly experimenting with their brews and do little to appeal to the casual beer fan."

"Fairweather has only been open since May of 2017 but they have already established themselves as one of the top breweries in the city. They have ten taps with a constantly rotating selection of beers ranging from IPAs to sours, saisons to porters. If you find yourself in the McMaster area, this and Grain & Grit (only a two minute walk away) are musts for grabbing your craft beer fix."

"This brewery features a bottle shop and taproom, including a patio with 60 seats as well as 10,000 sq. ft. brewing facility. They offer different types of beer like oak-aged and fruited beers, classic continental lagers, IPAs, silky stouts and porters, and more."

"They currently have a location each at Etobicoke and Mississauga. They’re available for takeout and delivery on all major delivery platforms."

"Buffalo used to be the only place to get these famous chicken wings until the first Anchor Bar franchise opened in Hamilton. Their saucy wings are an obvious choice, but the pizza is also great in this casual, popular spot in Jackson Square shopping mall, next to hotels and Hamilton Convention Centre by Carmen’s, open until 1 a.m."

"Szechwanese Cuisine, Restaurant With Bar, Restaurant With Delivery Services, Alcohol Served, Restaurant With Catering Services. combination platters, as well as special family dinner options. We offer a full menu of all Chinese and Szechuan foods"

"I've been ordering takeout from Joy Inn since the early 80's, our Saturday night parties would culminate in everyone pitching in at 10:45pm, pl..."

"You'll taste the difference at Breezy's thanks to their from-scratch approach to fresh, quality ingredients. You'll find generous portions of all the breakfast classics (and a great kid's menu) at this family run operation with locations in both Freelton (close to Christie Lake and Valens Conservation Areas) and the east end near Gage Park."

"This diner-inspired, family-run restaurant has a little bit of something for all ages and appetites. The restaurant’s colour palette is orange and grey with wood and chrome accents. There’s plenty of space to accommodate guests, with a multitude of tables and booths to choose from."

"After an extensive renovation, gone are the mismatched chairs and funky wallpaper in favour of a modern take on nautical themed breakfast and lunch. This east coast warf inspired spot now serves breakfast earlier, starting at 8 am on Fridays to Mondays and 9 am the rest of the week. They serve up all the favourites — bacon and eggs, pancakes, hashbrowns, and eggs benedict."

"Just two blocks from Hamilton’s scenic harbourfront is Harbour Diner, a cosy brunch spot with real homespun charm. Served daily until 11am and well into the afternoons on weekends, their breakfast menu is full of playfully named classic items, like ‘the all aboard’ egg dish with bacon, sausage, ham, pancakes and homefries."

"locals line up for juicy menu items such as a better-than-mom’s meatloaf and mash and a big and meaty, super chees... Air Date: 01-20-2012"

"Just down the road close to Chedoke Falls was another waterfall we set our to see: Cliffview Falls. After realizing (once again) that it would be hard to see this one from the road area, we parked in Cliffview Park. This was free to park and a great idea because we ended up having a short break here."

"(Or maybe it only seems like a hidden gem because we’re from the other end of the city?) Either way, it’s a waterfall that’s not to be missed!. Located in Waterdown, it’s an impressive waterfall, whether you view it from the lookout platform, or take the trail down and view the waterfall from below. The path continues along the creek for awhile and is part of the Bruce Trail."

"And I’m not picking favourites here, but I’ve saved one of the best for last. The Smokey Hollow Waterfall is one of most easily accessible Hamilton waterfalls. Technically, this waterfall is in the town of Waterdown, between Dundas and Burlington."

"We love the fast-moving waterfall at Smokey Hollow for lots of reasons. It makes for great photos, has a convenient viewing platform, and is surrounded by the Bruce Trail. Parking is on Mill Street, not far from Highway 5 in Waterdown."

"Borer’s Falls is a 49 foot (15 metre) waterfall that runs into Borer’s Creek which is a tributary that feeds the west pond of Cootes Paradise. It’s surrounded by lush, green trees and vegetation in the summer months and has a tremendous flow during the wetter months. It usually runs year round but can slow to just a trickle during drier times."

"Borer’s Falls, also known as Rock Chapel Falls, is a 15 metre (49 foot) high curtain waterfall, and its source is the Borer’s Creek. This waterfall used to power the Rock Chapel Village Sawmill. The sawmill was owned and operated by the Borer family, which is how the waterfall and creek got their names."

"Because I mean, as Hamiltonians, we've gotten pretty lucky; we have both Twist Burger Bar and Hambrgr in our city. So I guess that means it's time to throw out your McDonald’s coupons now - because you’ve got a long burger bucket list to complete."

"This 90 year-old local staple is the very definition of a classic. Grilling up some of the city’s best hotdogs in their original vintage digs since 1930, Easterbrook’s has been enjoyed time and time again by countless Hamiltonians for generations. Though known for their sizeable menu of legendary footlong hotdogs dressed in a wide variety of toppings, Easterbrook’s doesn’t stop there; they’ve also got homemade burgers, fries, and ice cream perfect for a summer picnic in the park."

"Sankofa Dining is located in the heart of Corktown, Hamilton Ontario, a warm friendly experience blended with chic culture. We specialize in authentic home style meals and an elevated modern twist to casual dining."
