With our Canadiana-inspired décor, over 70 beers on draught and dangerously good food, The Loose Moose and its downstairs counterpart, The Antler Room, have become a longstanding social hub for good reason! Located just south of Toronto’s Financial and Entertainment districts, we are a stone’s throw away from both of the city’s premiere sports and concert arenas as well as the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, making us a landmark gathering spot for sports fans, music lovers and those looking to let loose after a long day since we opened our doors in 1989.
