Many great things have been said of this place, so I shall use this little review to highlight an aspect perhaps overlooked; This place is very family friendly, and a great place for parents to come have a cheeky pint. My wife and I sit with our two young ones at the tables outside and enjoy a nice cold one, while they have their little snacks and play with their toys. It doesn't have a seedy bar atmosphere whatsoever, it's a brewery and I believe classified as a "tasting room". The family friendly atmosphere regarding children also extends to our furry four legged friends. There is often live music and on Monday there is half off flights, which when you add up is very good value. A local staple and very special place.

We've been to Old Flame Brewery multiple times at both locations in NewMarket and Port Perry and we always have a good time with good vibes, really good beer and great service and music. Last night we attended beer and cheese pairing event and we were impressed with Ady's passion and knowledge of all things beer. Having been on previous tours at other breweries Ady's was the most informative and comprehensive, as well as fun. And I should add his crowning attribute is his level of engagement with his customers; it really made the night extra special. Thank you.

We hosted our wedding at Old Flame Brewery back in September, and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect venue. The vibe fit us completely — dark, and moody in all the best ways. We had our ceremony outside in the courtyard and our reception inside, and the whole day flowed beautifully (helped by absolutely perfect weather!).
A massive shoutout goes to Aidan, the manager and our day-of coordinator. From the moment we started working with him, he went above and beyond for us. He answered every question, addressed every concern, and handled every little detail — right down to replacing toilet seat covers because we were worried about loose ones (no drunken grandmas falling on his watch!). On the wedding day, he helped manage our timing, kept us hidden pre-ceremony, and even used a cardboard box to block us walking by windows so we wouldn’t be seen. Truly above and beyond. He is an incredibly kind human and an absolute gem to work with.
Our bar team, Nathan and Connor, also deserve a huge shoutout. They were phenomenal — so friendly, professional, and fun. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about them. They even invited our photographer to grab some shots of us pouring beer behind the bar, creating some of our favorite moments of the night. They took such amazing care of us and even handled collecting everything at the end of the night so we could soak in every second.
My wife and I are beyond grateful and so thrilled we chose Old Flame Brewery as our venue. The space, the staff, the vibe — everything was perfect. We can’t recommend them enough.
