Super Bowl XLVII 2013 in Toronto || Where To Watch the Super Bowl in Toronto

In but two short week’s time, Super Bowl XLVII will take over, essentially, the world. Included will be our fair city, since cable is readily available and I’m told people enjoy watching sports.

Thus, seeing as how we like to think we’re consistently “in-the-know” of where to be on these grand occasions, we made a few calls, Googled keywords like sports + bar + toronto + good, trolled Facebook event postings, and whittled down the 411 to a list of Best Spots to Watch the Super Bowl in Toronto.

Conversely, for those less inclined to grunting men playing with balls – in a public context of course – regard this list as Places to Avoid on Super Bowl Sunday in Toronto…

Wayne Gretzky’s
This sports bar/restaurant boasts great seats all round for sports viewing pleasure, and for Super Bowl XLVII they’ve got a pound of Wayne’s famous roaster wings and a pitcher of MGD for only $15.99. Get your wetnaps ready for a saucy kick-off…

Jack Astor’s on Front Street East
Please note the East in the sub-title. The newest of all the Jack Astor’s – occupying a massive two-storey space in the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood – has a grand-sized projection screen behind the bar where Super Bowl meets HD meets pub grub.

The Dog & Bear Pub
This British-styled pub on Queen West is the perfect spot to watch a game. (Don’t take my word for it, watch the vibe at last year’s EuroCup for yourself.) With some great brews and gourmet grub, this’ll be one happenin’ spot come Super Bowl Sunday in Toronto.

Prohibition Gastrohouse
While the screen to seats ratio isn’t the highest at Prohibition, the food, attentive service, and great drink deals make it a definite contender for watching the Super Bowl in Toronto.

Habits Gastropub
A great spot for food and drinks if ever there was one, Habits Gastropub is easily one of our favourite watering holes in the city. (The food is effing awesome to boot.) For Super Bowl 2013, snatch up $2 sliders next to your favourite pint.

Crown and Dragon
One of our favourite wings spots in downtown Toronto, Crown and Dragon is an old-school pub that sees the MTV crew passing by after-work. Super Bowl Sunday at the C&D will see their pint and a pound special with three bucks off their famous wings.
