All you really need to watch a sporting event on television is…well, a television. But if you want an atmosphere that feels like being at the game itself, you’ll want to watch the game with other passionate fans at the city’s best sports bars.

Located in the heart of Toronto’s Entertainment District, the Duke of Argyle is perfect for taking in either a soccer match or a hockey game. And the big screens and big crowds at Grace O’Malley’s Irish Pub & Restaurant will have you so excited, you won’t even need that bar stool. Meanwhile, weekend football (that’s English – not American – football) isn’t the only thing on tap at the Duke of Gloucester on Yonge Street.

The Loose Moose on Front Street has dozens of televisions and a very social atmosphere that’s perfect for cheering on the Leafs, Raptors and Jays at the same time. And with 21 beers on tap, 11 full service bars, and 5 patios, the Madison Avenue Pub (or just “The Maddy”) has a variety of perfect backdrops for any sporting event. So grab a cold one and get ready to cheer.
