Left Field Brewery Liberty Village

Left Field Brewery has a second Toronto location in Liberty Village and it comes with a mix of familiarity and a few changes compared to the original brewery and tap room on Wagstaff Drive.

Yes, the baseball love is still strong. Yes, there's a tap room with 16 in-house draught lines, but unlike its original spot, this space is a lot larger.

Left Field Brewery Liberty Village is located in the 40 Hanna building, where the 3 Brewers once was, and spans two storeys high.

left field liberty villageIt aims to be a sports bar for everyone, where people can unwind at communal tables and enjoy a game (whether it's baseball or not) on one of their many TVs.

left field liberty villageThere's also a kitchen  — something that's not in its first location— that serves baseball-themed meals. The menu items are inspired by the food owners Mandie and Mark Murphy had at ballparks across America.

The Beef on Weck sandwich ($15.00) is particularly inspired by the trips the Murphys took to Buffalo to watch minor league baseball games. It's made with roast beef, horseradish mayo and custom-made caraway seed and sea salt Kimmelweck buns from COBS Bread.

It's similar to the sandwiches Mandie and Mark had while watching the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games. What makes this sandwich stand out in particular is the fries that are added, which gives it a crunchier texture.

Other meals include hot dogs which — safe to stay — are much larger and stuffed with more toppings than what you'd normally get a baseball game.

It's named "Chicago-ish" because Mandie says the hot dogs in Chicago are so particularly done, that any spin on the dish wouldn't be acceptable to those from the city.

left field brewery liberty villageThere are also classic baseball-themed desserts like mini doughnuts and sundaes. One dessert that sticks out though is the deep fried vanilla ice cream ($12.00), which is crusted with cornflakes, slathered in caramel sauce, topped with whipped cream and sprinkles and placed in a little helmet.

There's also the DiMaggio English & American Hybrid Pale Ale (which is the same price as the Drei Brauer) that's made with Bar Volo.
