There is one good place in Windsor for craft beer, and great music nightly. Check out Phog Lounge at University and Victoria. They have Wellington Arkell Best Bitter, SPA, and Imperial Stout along with Stonehammer Pilsner, Stonehammer Dark Ale, and Walkerville Lager on tap.
Not really a restaurant, but one heck of a lineup of good beers and great music. More of a night spot, as they open past five every night.

I went to the Kiwi last night and here is my review from rate beer.
"This place as nice as any Ive every been too. Great service although it seemed a bit under staffed. Knowlegdebale employees served quality pints all night for myself and the crew I went with. Very good local micro selection on tap but no bottlle list to speak of. I had some crab cakes that were nice but not overly great. Ill be again for and review as i see fit."
I enjoyed Fuller's ESB, F & M Kiwi Lager (rebadged F & M Stonehammer Light), McAuslan Griffon Extra Pale Ale, and a mystery pint from the owner that turned out to be a blend of Grand River Plowmans Ale and Fuller's Porter. Other pints seen around my table included St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout, Hacker-Pschorr Braumeister Pils, F & M MacLeans Pale Ale, and Fuller's Porter.
The Kiwi has a great tap list and a great staff and the only that leaves something to be desired is a good bottle list but even without that its a great place.
A look forward to seeing more BT's stop by for a pint and if you are let me know.
