    Had such a blast with the gang here damn

  • Review 2 (2023-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    Best dive bar in Williamsburg! Lovely staff, real pros. If youre good people, theyll know. Generally a young, mostly unpretentious crowd, but there are a few staunch mature regulars. Pretty much a beer and shot locale, but the bartenders are quite capable of making mixed drinks and cocktails if you ask nicely. 🍻🥃🍹🍸🍷🍾🥂🇨🇦Update re: post covid mandate. Suns out, guns and buns out! Always a good time! Get their early to rock the pool table and knock hockey in the back. Always tip generously. They give preference to regulars who tip well, so youd do well to do the same. 10% is lame, 15% is barely passing, 18% to 22% is sweet, 25% to 30% is what I usually tip because I love them, and I never wait. See how that works? Do this for food delivery guys, too. Food is allowed at Ontario, just pick up after yourselves.And dont whistle or holler at the staff. Try a smile with eye contact, or even introduce yourself like a mature human being: theres no need to flash your card or money.

    Labatt my brains out!!!!!!!!!!Don’t sleep on this cute bar in uptown Brooklyn. Great lighting, air hockey, pool table and a bartender who I don’t think speaks french but she says Jägerbomb with a Canadian flair.

    Really nice dive bar with great pinball machines and a charming atmosphere.

  • Review 5 (2024-03-12 - Rating: 5)

    Top notch graffiti in the bathrooms. Great pool table and drinks.

  • Review 6 (2024-09-10 - Rating: 4)

    Great vibe! why no canadian snacks?

  • Review 7 (2014-10-31 - Rating: 5)

    Very cool little bar. good music, good atmosphere. love the air hockey table. good beers on tap and no need for TVs. great place for a drink with mates

  • Review 8 (2018-04-30 - Rating: 5)

    Hardwood floors, a bunch of Canadian flair, Molson on tap?!?!? What more do you need in life? Beer is a nice cold, gold like nectar from the great white north (or likely distributed from some place in Buffalo). I have no idea if they have snacks, but I’ll be honest I would just stick to the beer and whiskey here. Nothing else. If you happen to be on a date, and the girl is pretentious and annoying, definitely bring her here to end the date asap. Then you can enjoy a nice beer in blissful silence.

    Were good. My absolute favorite part of the meal was the dessert. We had the candy bar ($13) with chocolate, caramel, and peanuts. If you like Snickers bars, youll absolutely love… read more

    Great dive bar. Pool table and games. No non sense. Their are a few Canadian brands here as one might expect.

  • Review 11 (2022-06-24 - Rating: 5)

    Went here so I could absolutely dominate my friend in air hockey (featured below). Atmosphere was dim, bar was comfortably cramped, it was everything I wanted and more!!! *Pro-tip you have to thump the end of the table to get the puck to present itself

  • Review 12 (2023-05-30 - Rating: 4)

    Great dive bar, they have a $2 pool table in the back and I believe some arcade machines.

  • Review 14 (2020-02-21 - Rating: 5)

    As a Canadian living in NYC. Loved it. Although most people did not know it was a Canuck bar and that Ontario is a Provence. Air hockey and good times

  • Review 15 (2016-09-26 - Rating: 4)

    A dive in every sense of the word. Cheap beer and no frills. Staff seemed slightly annoyed that we didnt fit in with their usual clientele.

  • Review 16 (2018-07-21 - Rating: 5)

    Great small bar with nice pool table, pin balls machine and cheap drink

    Excellent bar. No frills. Molson on tap.

  • Review 22 (2018-10-18 - Rating: 4)

    Chill dive bar with a pool table. Good nights here.

  • Review 23 (2017-07-02 - Rating: 5)

    They serve moosehead and are cheap, great dive.

  • Review 24 (2023-03-23 - Rating: 5)

    Sometimes you need a dive with a beer shot combo, a cozy booth, a slightly crooked pool table, and an arcade game because why not we didn’t come to Williamsburg to “grow up”. Great bar to meet neighborhood folks who prefer self medicating.

  • Review 25 (2022-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect for mid-western transplants like me! Felt like I was at a bar back home. Great ambience, music, perfect games too!

  • Review 26 (2023-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    Ontario is one of those dive bars that I’ll hit up every time I’m in New York. It’s got well priced drinks and an atmosphere that encourages a great time.

  • Review 27 (2017-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    Good prices on the beer and nice atmosphere

  • Review 28 (2022-08-04 - Rating: 5)

    Great vibes, pool table, friendly bartenders with great taste in music, and drink prices that seem unreal. It’s basically the ideal neighborhood watering hole, no complaints, a++ — will visit again.

  • Review 29 (2022-02-04 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place, chill, low light, good bartenders. Pool table, air hockey and I think an arcade game in the back. Go here quite often.

  • Review 30 (2021-02-27 - Rating: 4)

    If only the pandemic wasnt a thing, this bar would be.

  • Review 31 (2022-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    Molson on tap and air hockey in the back. Its nothing remotely fancy or nice but itd be weird if it was.

  • Review 32 (2015-02-07 - Rating: 4)

    Real cool place, they have a fire place in the back.

  • Review 33 (2022-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    Great local dive for cheap drinks, good company, quintessential bartenders, and a pool table which is characteristically just good enough to pass a game.

  • Review 34 (2014-10-10 - Rating: 4)

    Nice dive bar. it is super Canadian

  • Review 35 (2018-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    This is the best bar in Brooklyn. Great staff, great prices, great atmosphere. Even though Justin Trudeau is a hottie, I didnt go here because it is a Canadian bar.

  • Review 36 (2021-07-02 - Rating: 4)

    Your average dive bar. Nice crowd, good music, pretty loud (not ideal for long conversations).

  • Review 37 (2014-11-26 - Rating: 5)

    My date here last night was super fun! Great vibe here from the Canandian-inspired decorations to the funny chick bartender to the cheap drink specials. There are tons of places to sit so great for conversation. They played great music last night too. All of the hits! Theres a nice little section of arcade games as well. Two different types of pinball and buck hunter. Judging from the highest scores people are NUTS for those games and play them A LOT. Definitely would go back here very soon!

  • Review 38 (2018-07-13 - Rating: 5)

    If you want a laid back cool bar to chill and bring some friends this is the place!! Neutral and awesome! The bartender is a hottle! And shes a sweet !Table hockey is awesome , if you want to get your ass busted ask for Mikey aka manguera!

  • Review 39 (2017-06-14 - Rating: 4)

    Nice and quiet. Pool, pinball and air hockey. Cheap and decent selection of beers (some Canadian).

    Very cool pub. Good beer, nice music, funny people. Perfect place for an happy hour.

  • Review 41 (2017-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    As we call it CANADIA! Black Velvet and Molson- whats not to like???. A truly lovable dive, from a different (better) time of the neighborhood.
