However, I like to look at Boston Pizza restaurants as a sports bar. A clean, modern technologically capable sports bar. No seriously, no matter which BP you go to, they have enough TVs to make sure you never miss that crucial moment of any sport. They even have TVs in their dinning room while the large screens are usually reserved for the bar.
This location is no different. Large screens, LCDs and projectors in the bar, several more smaller screens in the dining room. This ensures that no matter where you are seated, you will find a screen starring back at you.
I've been to this location twice, both for UFC nights. Yes, like most bars/restaurants that shows UFC, there is a cover fee. It's $5, even if you arrived before the fight started. Fair enough. Main UFC coverage bouts usually begins at 9pm.
The staff can be accommodating to your party, provided you are reasonable and give them ample time. They do not take reservations an hour before the fight so that it becomes a first come first serve basis. Again, I think this is fair because if you seriously want to catch the fight, you should arrive early in order to get seats for yourself and your friends.
The foods offered here is your basic restaurant and bar fare. The wings are pretty good, though they can be a bit bigger. Where they really shine is the pasta dishes and sandwiches I find. I've yet to be disappointed by their foods. I don't normally order the pizza, but it's not half bad. It is what it is, sports bar food. Don't expect Michelin starred inspired techniques or ingredients. You're in a SPORTS bar!
They change their menu every now and then, which is great because it means they are consistently trying new things. I usually get the lasagna, with the generous amount of sauce and ground beef. They have pretty good cheesecake too. The choices of beer on tap is good with all of the standard selections like Keith's, Coors, Blue, Guiness, Rickard's, Corona, etc. There is bound to be one beer you would drink here.
Service is not bad either, I usually give the waitresses slack for not being too quick on super busy nights like UFC. They are attentive and have not disappointed me yet.
Parking can be a challenge if you're not used to it, it's right above the Yonge/Sheppard station. I usually park on the streets across from BP where it's free after 9pm on all evenings.
BP at Yonge/Sheppard is a good neighbourhood bar, if I lived in the area I would probably go here more often.
