If you want to catch a FIFA World Cup match while enjoying a drink, but leaving your dog at home isn't an option, Toronto has dog-friendly patios ready for you.
Pennies (127 Strachan Ave in Trinity Bellwoods and 667 College St in Little Italy) is known for its bright yellow aesthetic, laid-back vibe, and complimentary unlimited popcorn. The newer Little Italy location features a 130-seat patio perfect for catching the game with your pup. Sliders, cheap drinks, and their famous tater tots pair well with the casual energy.
Score on King (107 King St E in the Financial District) is a dedicated sports bar with 15 TVs and a historic St. James Cathedral view. They're known for over-the-top Caesars and a genuine sports atmosphere. Their signature Caesar — garnished with a Cornish hen, pulled pork mac-and-cheese dog, burger, pulled pork slider, onion rings, hot wings, and a brownie — costs $65.
Brazen Head (165 E Liberty St) is a traditional Irish pub with a spacious patio and all-day happy hour. Located near BMO Field in Liberty Village, it offers Burger Monday, Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, and Fish & Chips Friday — perfect timing if you're attending matches at the stadium.
Elephant and Castle (212 King St W in the Entertainment District) is a British-style pub welcoming pups with water and pets on their patio. The pub serves crispy haddock fish and chips, pies, draught ales and beers, and features multiple large-screen TVs and a giant projector.
Henderson Brewing (128A Sterling Rd in Toronto's west end) offers iced cold beer while watching the game with your dog. The brewery provides a casual spot to settle in for matches.
Most venues require dogs to remain leashed and well-behaved while on the patio. Many are located near Toronto Stadium, making them ideal for pre- and post-match drinks.
