Real Sports is a cut above the rest when it comes to game day food

almost 2 years ago

Nothing brings people together quite like sports do. And when cheering on your favourite team is joined by a fanatic atmosphere and incredible food, it makes the most memorable moments even better.

Sports bars have long been heralded as a place to watch the biggest sporting events, pint in hand, with your crew. At Toronto’s very own RS (Real Sports) though, year-round playoff energy and good times are matched with an unbelievable culinary program.

As a part of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment’s (MLSE) dedication to the ultimate fan experience, RS takes enjoying the best that sports have to offer to a whole other level, by transforming the space into a premium culinary and entertainment hub for all sports and entertainment fans of Toronto.

Inside its massive space, you’ll find two separated areas to enjoy the big game, entertain your colleagues or wind down with your squad. The newly renovated RESTO offers a laid-back space with more areas to socialize, and features a 30-foot bar, comfy booths and is the perfect place to enjoy Real Sports’ top-notch menu. Enjoy specialty cocktails, wine and a slew of brews fresh on tap with your team while diving into Real Sports’ signature nachos or one of their many unique appetizer options.

And just a few steps away, an immersive, theatrical tunnel leads you to where Toronto has gathered to witness some of the greatest moments in sports history. The famous ARENA section of the restaurant is every sports and event lover's dream. Fitted with a lengthy 100-foot bar and endless amounts of seating, ARENA is the ideal place for anyone looking for a great place to dine and/or enjoy a game.

With its massive footprint, it’s no wonder that Toronto fans flock here for all their sports viewing needs. But through MLSE’s devotion to providing exceptional service all around, Real Sports is quickly becoming Toronto’s hub for incredible experiences in the downtown core.

Their menu meets your favourite sports bar’s expectations, offering a wide range of items that everyone in your squad can enjoy. Pick from their signature nacho menu––with toppings like roast or jerk chicken and 12-hour smoked brisket, their nachos also highlight their housemade pico de gallo, freshly-fried nacho chips with their specialty in-house seasoning and shredded cheese from Toronto’s famous Cheese Boutique.

Have your pick at a dynamic lineup of apps, including chewy garlic knots, everything spiced dip, al pastor tacos and pierogi corn dogs. The menu is riddled with fan-faves, including a number of pizza options, mouth-watering burgers and sandwiches and finger-licking wings.

Whether you’re gearing up for playoff hockey or looking for an immersive dining experience unlike any other in Toronto, Real Sports is your next go-to destination.

Located beside Scotiabank Arena, Real Sports is right in the heart of Toronto’s exciting sports and entertainment scene. The restaurant is open daily, from 3 p.m. to midnight Monday through Wednesday, and opens at 11:30 a.m. Thursday through to Sunday.
