If you love sports, you'll love watching a Leafs OT win surrounded by fans who care just as much as you do. The rooftop patio is a Toronto summer classic for downtown people-watching and pre-game drinks.
Few other sports bars in Toronto let you eat wings beneath a life-size Gretzky mural and actual memorabilia—this place feels like a living room for local sports culture. The atmosphere gets intense during game days, but in a way that feels communal, not just rowdy. The rooftop patio stands out as one of the best sports-watching patios anywhere in downtown.
Wayne Gretzky's Toronto is a shrine for any hockey fan, but the casual crowd fits right in thanks to the classic Canadian pub menu, cold beer, and a non-stop reel of sports. The walls are plastered with a trove of Gretzky memorabilia, from sticks to gold medals, and you’ll catch more high-fives here than anywhere in the Entertainment District. The rooftop patio is the summer highlight—packed before Jays games and during playoff hockey nights. Expect a fun, slightly nostalgic vibe; the menu pulls no surprises but always does the basics right.
Reservations are recommended for game nights and patio tables, but walk-ins are fine most weekdays.
The Gretzky Burger is a massive triple-decker with classic toppings—perfect for sharing if you’re not that hungry yourself.
Absolutely, they welcome large groups and sports teams—just book ahead for parties over 8, especially during big games.
