| - OMG this is like the mother-land of sports bars! The wall of a TV makes it worth it the trip, wait and crowd.
I agree strongly with Madelaine D - MAKE RESERVATIONS! Make them like 3 weeks before you want to go. I tired to get them and they were booked solid. When my date and I got there - we put out name on the waiting list, but they were not doing any seating until after the Leafs game. It didn't matter, there are about 3 bars in the place that you can either stand at or order from and the upper level with it's open concept "rail" standing is AMAZING! If you don't have a table, the bar is cash and carry - I would have like to have started a tab and flipped it over to the table at the end, but oh well.
I think that I counted about 25 TVs, and they were not all playing the hockey - so if you were in the the NBA, or UFC you were in luck.
When we finally got our table, the staff was friendly and we even had our own little mini screen (so bump the TV count to about 100) to watch the late game of HNIC. The food was yummy - but there wasn't much of it....at least I didn't think so. Then again we just ordered apps. They did run out of Coors Light - never thought that would happen at a bar this size, but the place was packed. I didn't see the bill - like a good date, he paid and wouldn't even let me give him cash.
The washrooms were very clean and very modern. The hand dryer was kind of cool too - FYI, it dries your hands in about 3 seconds. The whole place was kept clean, and that's something hard to do in the winter with all of the TO salt.
I'll be heading back in the summer for sure!
