These Are the Best Bars in Toronto to Watch the Leafs Game

The Leafs are in the midst of a historic playoff run, one that sees them make the second round for the first time in almost two decades. It's a fun time to be a fan, and an even more fun time to be a person who enjoys watching the game out with friends. Luckily for both sports fans and fans of going out to enjoy the atmosphere, there are plenty of bars in the city that offer great food, great vibes, and great views of the game. So, we rounded up the best bars in Toronto to watch the Leafs game.

The bar's TVs (which fully loop around the space) are the perfect place to take in a home game, especially when there's the most unique set of Caesars on the tables around them. Massive Canadian classics are topped with unique foods for an unforgettable experience that makes cheering for the Leafs that much sweeter.

The Pint Public House

Located up the stairs right by Rogers Centre, The Pint has a massive bar, a no-frills vibe, and TVs around every corner.

And, for a quick kick into a different kind action, there's a line of vintage pinball machines for an adrenaline boost.

100-171 E Liberty St

Local Public Eatery

Equipped with its famous rotating taps and a huge central bar outfitted with TVs, LOCAL has become a prime hangout in Liberty Village for sports games of every kind. The trendy menu and unique cocktail list attracts guests who love every profile and, most of all, love Toronto's sports teams.

Toby's Pub & Eatery

The unique thing about Toby's is that the menu goes beyond traditional pub food, and offers global cuisine from Sri Lankan dishes to butter chicken to a burger and fries. It's also covered in sports decals and photos from iconic moments, and has a garage that can be open to let the warm weather in.

250 Adelaide St W

The Aviary

Another sports-themed bar, this east end spot offers house-brewed beers from its co-owners, The Dock Ellis and Longslice. Games are played with sound during the playoffs, and the light pub fare, like snacks and sandwiches, are served in a space with tons of natural light and a huge patio.
