What people say, in short
Molly Rose in Collingwood has a large courtyard and in-house beers, which one person praises as varied. A few people include it in suggested brewery hops and walks, and another simply endorses it. Overall more people recommend it than warn against it, but two patrons who have been there say it has slipped. One patron finds the ordering setup and table service frustrating, and the other says a shift toward more food has made them stop going.
