Pubs in Toronto

(Oldest Posts First)

Does anybody know any pubs in Toronto that show GAA matches live? Somewhere near downtown would be best.

Scallywags Bar and Restaurant
Address: 11 St Clair Avenue West | Toronto, ON | M4V1K6
Tel: 1 416 922-3737

I watched the All Ireland Hurling Final last year in an English Bar called Scallywags and it was a nice place right in the city centre with a good atmosphere. It is a Canadian owned bar full of Irish punters watching everything from GAA to Rugby to soccer. There are very few other pubs in the city showing GAA so this is probably your best bet. The only other option I know of is the Galway Arms but this is miles out and a pretty hefty taxi fare. Just go to Scallywags and you wont go too far wrong. Its right beside a subway stop on 11 Saint Clair Avenue West and easy to find. It was around $10 to watch the game and they serve a pretty good breakfast. Up Mayo!

i couldn't find a bar showing matches when i was there last year. i thought it would be fairly easy. i found an irish bar but they didn't seem to understand what i meant by football when i asked if they were showing the donegal game.

so i'd say listen to the advice above.

If Scallywags doesn't work out, try contacting one of the GAA clubs in the city. Saint Mike's is one of the biggest clubs and their website is http://www.stmikesgfc.com/ - I'm sure they will be able to help you out.
