Our family of 4 dined at the Bean Bar recently and thoroughly enjoyed the outing. The atmosphere was pleasant, the staff were friendly and efficient. The selection of beer and wine was very good and the selection of food was awesome. The burgers are big and juicy but there are lots more fancier food than burgers. Leave room for dessert... More

It has very delicious pastries and good food. I find myself there quite often. Sometimes the service can be slow due to the big crowds.

I hadn't been to the Bean Bar in years because I never thought the food was that good but we ended up eating there after the theatre and the food was definitely above average. They have a very large menu that runs all day so you can have full meals or sandwiches throughout the day. The salads were very fresh... More

The Bean bar is located in the Westdale area of Hamilton right next to the Westdale Theatre and not far from McMaster University. The food is excellent, the bean bar salad and french onion soup are two of my favourites, and the deserts are worth every calorie in them - delicious. Great place to go before the show or just...

We love this place after theatre on a Sat night as Hamilton shuts down and this place is usually full. The sandwiches are wonderful as are the dessert choices.

Bean Bar is an awesome little bar in West Hamilton area - it is always filled with people who enjoy easy-going atmosphere and great food. Everything we tried was top-notch, and the desserts were incredible.

It surprised me to learn that you can't have your pie heated, even if you ask. When the waiter didn't know why he 'wasn't allowed' to warm my pie, the owner blamed him for his 'poor' customer management. Her lack of flexibility was apparently not an issue. I won't eat here again. There is nothing terrible about the food in... More
