Ballyhoo Riverdale
Freehouse Collective is proud to announce the arrival of The Ballyhoo Public House in Riverdale
Freehouse Collective’s beloved The Ballyhoo Public House is landing in Toronto with a brand-new location in the heart of Riverdale at 526 Danforth. Set on a bright southeast corner, The Ballyhoo features two expansive patios and a vintage-modern feel which channels Dublin via Hell’s Kitchen with a lively happy hour and welcoming neighbourhood vibe.
A games room includes pool and arcade favourites for friendly pub competition and whittling away the hours with friends. The menu combines pub classics with inspired international dishes which burst with freshness, colour, and irresistible flavours. With favourites perfected in the original Vancouver Theatre District Ballyhoo with a range of new options created just for Riverdale, there’s a share plate, hand tossed pizza, handheld, or entrée for every occasion and any appetite.
Weekend brunch service provides the perfect opportunity to stretch out on the patios and watch the world pass by. The drink menus offer options from zero proof to full strength along with signature low alcohol “sessionable” cocktails packed with all the flavour and complexity and half the booze. A range of carefully chosen craft beers and interesting wines round out the beverages choices.
“We’re very excited to launch The Ballyhoo’s second location in Riverdale, just in time to make the most of Toronto’s unbeatable patio season,” said Scott Rowe at The Ballyhoo. “It’s the perfect neighbourhood hangout for one of our favourite neighbourhoods and we look forward to welcoming the community to spend time with us, whether they’re getting business done, celebrating, or just hanging out in a comfortable spot.”
The Ballyhoo has softly opened now with grand opening celebrations planned for later in May. Follow along at @freehouse.co for all the latest news and updates.
