If you’re a nervous eater, you should watch the game — any game — at 817 Sports Bar. Boasting a multitude of flat screen TVs with surround sound, this spot in the exciting downtown hub of Queen Street West feels more like being in an arena. The food and drink is way better, though. First, there are 17 different beers on tap plus a seasonal rotation of local craft beers in bottles or cans. Including a number of vegan- and vegetarian-friendly options, the 817 Sports Bar menu has some of the city’s best elevated pub fare with wings and nachos as well as a double six-ounce burger stuffed with double Canadian cheese, apple wood bacon, Canadian bacon and onion rings, plus shredded lettuce, tomato and pickles. From a grilled salmon with creole seasoning to Jaipur butter chicken, the menu is as amazing and diverse as the diners and sports fans in Toronto.
