Real Sports Bar and Grill

Real Sports is the most impressive sports bar I have ever been to hands down. Located in Maple Leaf Square right across from the entrance to the Air Canada Center there is no better place to go to watch the game or go for a pint and a pound before or after. However, if you want a table you better have a reservation because this place is packed most nights of the week and you may be waiting in line. There is also a bar along the left side just past the entrance or from wall to wall at the front. The main anchor that brings people into Real Sports is the massive stadium size screen viewable from the main floor and the upstairs.

            

The wings are very good with the perfect amount of breading and sauce on the outside that gives a tasty crunch with a warm moist inside. They offer lots of flavours such as Ankle Skater (Mild), Pee Wee (Medium), Big Leagues (Hot), Drop The Gloves (Suicide), Cajun Dry Rub, RP’s Lime Salt, Honey Garlic, Bacon Maple Mustard, Garlic Parmesan, Honey Mustard Dill, Thai Sweet Chilli, Peking, Bobcaygeon, and Fan Fusion. My favourite was the Fan Fusion which is a mix of the hot and honey. There are no daily deals at Real Sports and no wing deals, wings cost $15 a pound, $28 for 2, and $52 for 4.

Watermark

Watermark is a great Irish pub in downtown Toronto, right on the Toronto waterfront on Queens Quay. The best thing about this pub is the space they have outside and inside. The patio near the water is great for watching ships sailing by in the summer or if the weather isn’t as nice they have an enclosed outside bar. The inside is dimly lit with a wooden bar walls that supports several t.v.’s to watch any game. The hostess and waitress were polite and knowledgeable of the menu and even though it was during the dinner rush I did not have to wait long for my drinks or wings.

The wings are an average size but taste great and your choice whether they are breaded or not. The wing sauces they have are mild, medium, hot, suicide, hot’n’honey, honey garlic, and Canadian Eh! The only downside to Watermark is they do not have any wing deals, wings cost 12 a pound or 20 for 2.
