Know before you go
The location. 227 Front Street West sits between Spadina and John, about 5 minutes' walk from the Rogers Centre and 8 from Scotiabank Arena. Union Station is 6 minutes east. This positioning is the venue's whole identity — it functions as the sports-pub default before, during, and after every major downtown Toronto game.
The pattern. Daytime weekdays: business lunches and afternoon work-from-bar drinkers. Evenings build with the post-work crowd. Game days are entirely different — arrive 60-90 minutes before first pitch / puck drop / tipoff to get seats. Postgame, the venue stays packed until 2am on weekend home games. Tuesday / Friday / Saturday late-nights bring DJ programming on both floors.
Booking. Walk-up is the default. Reservations available via the venue's website or phone (647-340-6395) for groups of 8+, especially on game days. Large group bookings (15+) require advance arrangement and may use the private event spaces upstairs.
Our take on The Pint
The Pint is a working sports pub doing exactly what it says it does. 40 taps, 40 wing sauces, 90+ TVs, two floors, and a kitchen open until 1am every night of the week. That sentence is the entire pitch and it's enough — because in Toronto, the supply of credible sports bars that aren't either chains (Real Sports, Hooters) or general-purpose pubs that happen to have a TV in the corner is genuinely thin. The Pint fills the gap.
What makes it work is consistency. The 11am-2am daily schedule means it's reliable in a way the King West bottle-service rooms can never be — you can grab lunch on a Tuesday and a pint, watch the Jays at 7pm on a Wednesday, stay for a late-night DJ on a Saturday. Same venue, same beer list, same wing options. That kind of operational steadiness is rare and underrated.
Best for: Jays game pregame and postgame — the walking distance and the wing-focused menu hit the exact need. Toronto sports nights generally — Raptors, Leafs, TFC, Argos. NFL Sundays. UFC and major boxing PPV nights. Group dinners where the table needs to split a wing flight and watch a game. Late-night food after a Scotiabank Arena event. Anyone whose night plan starts with "let's just grab a pint."
Skip if: You want craft cocktails (this is beer territory). You want a quiet drink (the volume scales with the game). You want design-forward decor (the room is functional pub aesthetic, not Instagram-y). You want a King West nightlife experience — this is sports pub, not nightclub, even with the late-night DJ.
About The Pint Public House
The Pint opened in 2009 at 227 Front Street West, positioning itself as a working sports pub in a stretch of the Entertainment District that catered mostly to theatre-goers, tourists heading to the CN Tower, and game-day fans without a dedicated home. The opening bet: Toronto needed an honest sports pub near the Rogers Centre that wasn't a chain — one with serious beer programming, serious wings, and enough TVs that every seat could follow a different game if they wanted.
The 40-tap and 40-wing-sauce branding is core to the venue's identity. Each wing sauce gets a dedicated lineup card behind the bar; the beer list rotates seasonally with a mix of Canadian craft, major-brewery, and international options. The space is laid out across two floors with the ground floor running busier on game days (faster traffic, easier sight lines to the most prominent TVs) and the upper floor functioning as both overflow and private event space.
The venue earned its reputation through Toronto's sports calendar — through Blue Jays playoff runs (2015 ALCS, 2016 ALDS, the 2025-2026 World Series), Raptors championship 2019, Leafs runs, and a steady supply of weekend home games. It's not a venue that needs to chase trends; it just keeps doing the thing reliably.
Food & drinks
The food. Classic pub menu anchored by the signature wing program. 40 wing sauces — hot, honey-garlic, medium, salt and pepper, chili powder, BBQ, buffalo butter, plus 30+ others spanning sweet, savoury, spicy, dry-rub and wet variants. House-brined and fried. Wings come with fries, house salad, or soup; upgrades to yam fries, caesar salad, or chili for $2. Beyond wings: nachos, sliders, pretzels, fish and chips, burgers, ribs, salads. Average per-person spend $20-$35.
The drinks. 40 draught beers on tap — Canadian craft, major brewery, international. The tap list rotates seasonally. Cocktails and spirits available but the venue's identity is beer-and-wings, not cocktail-bar. Slushie cocktails and bucket drinks make appearances on game days. Pint glasses (the venue's name) are the default pour.
Group bookings. The upstairs floor functions as a private event space for groups of 30-150 — corporate events, birthdays, watch parties, post-game gatherings. Booking via the venue website or phone.
The Pint location & how to get there
Address. 227 Front Street West, just west of Simcoe Street, on the north side of Front Street. Look for the pub-style signage — entrance is straightforward from the sidewalk.
TTC. Union Station (Line 1, the main downtown subway station) is 6 minutes' walk east. The 510 Spadina streetcar at Front & Spadina is 3 minutes west. The 504 King streetcar at King & John is 5 minutes north. GO Transit and Via Rail riders coming into Union have the easiest path of any Entertainment District venue.
Rogers Centre / Scotiabank Arena. Walking time to the Rogers Centre main entry: 5 minutes south. Scotiabank Arena: 8 minutes east. CN Tower: 4 minutes south. This is the Toronto sports-and-events triangle The Pint sits in the middle of.
Uber / Lyft. Front Street works as a pickup zone but gets congested on game days. Try Wellington or Bremner Boulevard as cleaner pickup options for major events. Game-day surge pricing common.
Parking. Underground parking under the Rogers Centre and Metro Toronto Convention Centre nearby ($25-$40 game day). Public transit is faster.

Sports programming follows TV broadcast schedules, so peak times are Blue Jays home games, Raptors / Leafs game nights, NFL Sundays, and major UFC / soccer events.

The beer list rotates seasonally — Canadian craft and major brewery options are always present, plus international taps. Cocktails and spirits also available but the venue's reputation is beer + wings + TVs.
Is The Pint a good Jays game spot?
It's the Toronto sports-pub default for Blue Jays games. Walking distance to the Rogers Centre (about 5 minutes), and the venue runs Jays-themed events on game days. Pregame: arrive 60-90 minutes before first pitch to grab seats. Postgame: the venue stays open and busy until 2am, especially on weekend home games. World Series 2025-2026 weekends were some of the busiest nights in the venue's history.
Does The Pint have a dress code?
Casual. Sports jerseys, casual streetwear, sneakers all welcome — this is a working sports bar, not a King West cocktail room. Late-night Friday and Saturday DJ programming tightens the vibe slightly but the casual policy stays. ID required at the door (19+ after late hours).
What food does The Pint serve?
Classic pub food. The venue's signature item is its 40 different wing sauces — hot, honey-garlic, medium, salt and pepper, chili powder, BBQ, buffalo butter, plus 30+ others. Also wings + ribs combos, burgers, nachos, pretzels, fish and chips, full pub-fare lineup. Kitchen until 1am. Average per-person spend on food: $20-$35.
Does The Pint have late-night DJs?
Yes — DJs on both floors during late night on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. The format crosses Top 40, hip-hop, and party-friendly tracks. Different from a nightclub DJ experience — it's a pub becoming livelier rather than a dedicated dance floor — but enough to keep the room going past midnight.
