The Bottom Line: the Toronto bar with Raptors sound on all season
RowdyPubs · November 4, 2026
Most bars in Toronto will put the Raptors on a TV. Far fewer will turn the sound up for a random Tuesday in November. The Bottom Line does it for every Raptors game, all season, and that's why it's our pick for this week's bar spotlight.
Where it is
22 Front Street West, in the Financial District. That's across from Union Station and a short walk from Scotiabank Arena, so it works whether you're watching the road games from a booth or heading to the arena after. Their own site calls it "Toronto's Classiest Sports Bar" and says it's owned and operated by a former NHL player, which explains a lot about the room.
52 large TVs and the game sound on for every Raptors game all season. Open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday to Saturday, closed Sundays. Takes reservations.
Why it's a Raptors bar
The Bottom Line runs the sound for every Raptors game, all season, so on RowdyPubs every Raptors game fills in as sound on automatically. You don't have to guess or call ahead on a weeknight. With 52 screens, you'll also see the other NBA games around the league while the Raptors audio is the one you hear.
It's a Leafs spot too. On game nights the bar fills up with Leafs and Raptors fans before puck drop and tip-off. Expect a buzz when both teams play on the same night.
Good nights to go soon
Friday, November 6: Raptors at Bucks. An easy Friday night plan downtown.
Monday, November 9: Raptors vs Grizzlies, the start of a home stretch.
Wednesday, November 11: Raptors vs Celtics. A big Eastern Conference night, and one where we'd book a table.
Tuesday, November 17: Raptors vs Knicks. The second Knicks visit in three days, and this one is on a weeknight when the bar is open.
A few tips before you go
Book for the big ones. Reservations are online, and groups of 8 or more can send a private party request through their site. For a Celtics or Knicks night, don't count on a walk-in table at 7.
Mind the Sunday gap. The Bottom Line is closed Sundays, so the Raptors vs Knicks game on Sunday, November 15 needs another plan. Dublin Calling in the Entertainment District and The Cat's Cradle in Corso Italia both have the sound on for that one.
Sound on for Raptors games. A loud, social Entertainment District room and a good Sunday backup.
Surround sound for Raptors games, plus Leafs, Bills and CFL. A west-end option if you'd rather stay out of the core.
Late tips end late. The bar closes at 11, so for a late tip out West, check the start time before you head down.
The bottom line
If you want to watch the Raptors with the game sound up, a big room and a short walk from Union, this is about as reliable as it gets in Toronto. And if you're there on a game night, tap whether the sound was on so the next fan knows.
Every upcoming Raptors game and the bars with the sound on.
