Hoops Sports Bar and Grill


Hoops Sports Bar and Grill is a fun entertaining place to watch any football, hockey, baseball, or basketball game. The location I go to quite often is in North York across the York University campus. They have specials every day of the week including a burger for $8.99 on Mondays and fajitas on Fridays. Tuesday and Thursday you can get a pound of their jumbo roaster wings for only $5.99, Saturdays a pint and a pound is $15.29 and Sundays a Pitcher and 3Lbs is $39.99. 

The wings are huge with a crispy skin and although it can be tough at times there's always lots of meat on the bone. Some flavors like medium and hot are bland and don't come with much sauce. Other sauces such as Thai, sweet and sour, and honey garlic come loaded up with sauce and go well with either dry seasoning, Cajun or Peppercorn. Suicide also came with a fair amount of sauce but tasted a bit off and was not as hot as I thought it would be. The fries are good if you eat them quick, they are thinner stringy fries and cool off quickly and once that happens I no longer found them appetizing. I found the booths and table very small and tables very close together making getting in and out uncomfortable. There are so many T.V.’s in this bar you can see one from where ever you sit although the placement of the large projection screen limits how many people can see it. Some of the table waitresses are clueless as to what beverages are available and once your order is taken it can be tough to get their attention again and rarely follow up on your food order. 

When I ordered from the bar not only were my drinks quicker but my food as well and the bartender was more knowledgeable of the whole menu. The patio is nice during the summer with lots of room, T.V.s, and a scuffed up pool table. On Thursday nights a DJ pumps out loud annoying music most of which is terrible but sometimes is not allowed to play if a big game is on. Overall the service is great if you sit at the bar, the food is good and quick, and it’s a fun exciting time to watch the game.
