It’s Saturday night and you favourite sports team is about to play or you want to watch a good fight. There is nothing better than getting together with your boys, swig a cold beer, eat some wings at a bar and check out the game or fight while cheering along with a bunch of strangers. So without further adieu, here are my top five spots in Mississauga to watch sports:

5 – Coopers Pub

The classic wood-finished tavern, Coopers Pub. The pub offers a cozy environment to watch the game with your friends and a projection screen for a big picture. Good prices and food along with interesting selections of brews on tap, including Strongbow, Rickards (Red & White) and Hoegaarden. Coopers Pub is comfortable and located right near Burnhamthorpe and Wolfdale. Don’t forget that during Leaf’s, Raptors and NFL games there are always great specials going on that include the obvious beer and wings combo’s.

4 – Wingporium

Port Credit’s Wingporium might be one of the best chicken wings joints I’ve experienced. This is Wing Emporium’s second location, with the first being in Etobicoke. This joint isn’t too big and boasts TVs mounted everywhere and a patio that looks like it would double capacity if it was open. The wings were breaded and cooked to perfection and the sauces were all made in house. The flavours are sectioned off into dry, mild, medium, hot and suicide, so I had one from each section. Crazier diners can try the Scorpion Kiss and Black Mamba (which the restaurant actually advises pregnant women to avoid).  I had the Dry Roasted Rub, Big Boy Cool Toys, Interview with a Vampire, Bubba’s Backfire and Chipotle. The winner is Interview with a Vampire! It must be fun naming these flavours! 

3 – Fred’s Bar and Grill

This is one of the best kept secrets in Mississauga. You can find this bar/restaurant hidden in a small plaza in Central Mississauga. Recently Fred’s Bar & Grill has taken over the China, well China City, which was next door and added a brand new section. The reno, which was a huge undertaking that required the gutting of the entire space, has made the resto much more open and inviting to eat your chicken wings! The new digs offer 26 TVs and two 80″ babies on the wall, so there is not a bad vantage point anywhere in the restaurant. They even have a Toronto Maple Leafs wall that covers the entire west side of the restaurant. It serves up great food and has great service. This little place is great for chillin’, hanging out, watching sports and maybe even taking a date to. The food here is great at very reasonable prices. 


2 – All Star Wings and Ribs

Located in City Centre this place is pretty cool for the sports enthusiast, as they have TV’s right inside the booths that diners can operate themselves. So for multi-sport nights you are not fighting to watch UFC when hockey is on and vice versa.  This place also is known for having 200 flavours for the wings to choose from, most of which are made in house.

1 – Game Time Eatery and Entertainment

Located in one of the hardest plazas to find in Mississauga on Dundas near Dixie is Game Time Eatery (formerly Wacky Wings). This place is the like a Chucke Cheez for adults, minus the screaming kids (but add shouting adults). There are video games, pool tables and TVs everywhere. It’s a great place to watch sports with your buddies, as it’s huge. The wing selection is also on point, so you don’t want to miss this place.
