| - I was in a city that I knew would give 0 shits about the Canelo Alvarez and Amir Khan fight. That meant 2 things, 1) It would be near to impossible to find a bar showing the fight and 2) If I found one at least there'd probably be no cover charge.
A couple of home boys at the Jays game told me that Real Sports could be the spot, a call confirmed it.
Being across from the ACC, I expected it to be a mainstream setting, close to what ESPN Zone is. And well it was. I was rather surprised by the layout though, on the contrary of what the ESPN zone is, they separate family style tables away from the center area making it more bar inspired.
The TV's are set up to where you think you're at the Cosmopolitan's sports book, biting on your nails with a bettors ticket in hand. Loved it.
Drinks
Strongbow British Dry on tap. Say no more.
Food
Breakfast Burger: The fried egg in your burger kind of thing. I'll admit it, I was drunk as hell, combined with the distraction of shawty on the left and the adrenaline of having just watched Canelo knock Khan out, this made for a very good burger.
Fries: Crispy with the perfect pinch of salt.
Service
Canada Dry.
The atmosphere is what makes this place great. The drinks and food just add to it and if they happen to sit you next to a Markham girl that's down for the scam, why not give it a 5?
