| - now that all-star wings in meadowvale closed (RIP), i'm forced to drive far to hit up a good sports bar for raptors games (keyword: good. i ain't tryna roll up to a boston pizza or bww), and fred's is usually where i end up. literally millions of TVs line the walls here, so any seat is a good seat for sports viewing. the loud and rowdy crowd really makes for a perfect sports bar atmosphere.
the drink list is pretty standard here, with a few entry-level craft options, but i care way more about the food. the grilled calamari lives up to the hype - lightly-battered squid pieces cooked to a perfect tenderness, swimming in a shallow pool of lemony buttery oil. probably the best calamari dish i've ever had, anywhere. please try it. the wings are also great. they're chunky and large, and their buffalo butter sauce is to die for. i've also tried their "the port" pizza (tomato, mozza, anchovies, basil), and was really impressed.
easily mississauga's best sports bar. see you here during the next raptors game!
