| - I think I will provide the final review of Real Sports for 2010. I FINALLY visited here on Wednesday evening and wasn't disappointed whatsoever!
If you want any sporting event, they will have it. For instance I had tweeted if they would have the Chelsea-Bolton match and within minutes they replied. I had booked a table well in advance for a group of 8 of us. Thank God I did because I didn't pay attention to the Word Juniors hockey schedule as Canada had played Norway that night and it was pretty much packed. So if you know your sports, you're probably aware I had pulled a full work shift here. Ya call me nuts.
You walk in and you're amazed by the wall of TVs There are also TVs within the viewing range in the major seating areas. Furthermore in the booths along the side, there are TVs built into the wall where you have a choice to change the channel to anything you want to see. I couldn't see how many buttons there were but I would say 10. Of course, they must have done a market analysis knowing that us men are channel flippers like no other when we watch sports as we HATE commercials.
While watching the footie match, I sat at the bar and had my lunch which was a Mac and Cheese with pancetta bacon and 2 cheeses with an arugula salad with parmesan cheese on top. It was pretty delicious on top of the Rickard's Dark I consumed. For the evening, the boys shared some buttered popcorn with 3 flavoured shakers. Instead of having to always go back for more at the theatres, you have these shakers at your disposal. For dinner I had buffalo chicken fingers. Very spicy and tasty. You can't beat it whatsoever.
As for the staff, they are friendly, good looking and not pushy at all.
For instance, Megan was serving our table and was friendly and courteous to us. Made even a suggestion for one of our guests at the table.
My only disappointment was when they asked me to tweet of my presence, @gailgabrielle didn't come by and say hi. LOL!
ESPN was bang on when they talked about Real Sports being the best sports bar in North America. I had been to Yankee Doodle Dandy in Santa Monica, ESPN Zone in DC and LA Live and Wegz in Vaughan. Real Sports KILLS ALL!!!!!
