The Wheat Sheaf Tavern (Toronto, On)

Catch all your favorite leagues including MLS, Premier League, Serie A and Spain's La Liga.

Designated a historic landmark, this is the city's oldest tavern, in operation since 1849. For fans, eight screens show great moments in sports. The jukebox features 1,200 choices, and there are two pool tables and an outdoor patio.

A couple of establishments have laid claim to the title of oldest watering hole in Toronto. Wheat Sheaf has a pretty strong case, having opened up in 1849 under their current moniker. That’s 18 years before Confederation, at a time when tunnels connected the building to Fort York so that soldiers could drop by for a quick pint. The tunnels are long gone, but the beer taps still flow, and the current proprietors have made sure to keep an old-timey feel to the premises.

Such provenance inevitably makes Wheat Sheaf a tourist draw – customers enjoying a summer day on the 50-seat patio along Bathurst Street will note the tour busses passing by on occasion. The pub has also drawn a number of local celebrities, including filmmaker Atom Egoyan and Coach’s Corner sidekick Ron MacLean. Wheat Sheaf’s walls bear their portraits and signatures to certify their patronage.

Wheat Sheaf is frequented principally by a regular handful of folks, however, and is often described as much like “Cheers” – come in a few times, and the people here will quickly come to know you- and your name. Long-time regulars are immortalized as well as the big shots – one individual known as “Shadow,” who came in three times a week for decades before passing away several years ago, has a plaque in his memory at his old favourite table. A draw for many repeat customers is the menu, which features pub food – chicken wings, burgers, beer-battered chicken – at a reasonable cost.
