This is a fun place to hang out with friends or even have a company event here. My work booked the entire place for the night. We had our entire department hang out here. The place did manage to fit over 75 people; however, the place isn't big and I did feel that it is a bit crammed. It does have three floors. The basement is where the washrooms are located. At the back of the bar are two bocce lanes. Upstairs there is a photo booth and a small sitting area. The building itself like many downtown buildings in Toronto is very narrow. Note that no food is being served here. Only drinks/ alcohol. I guess it is a great place to grab a drink or just to listen to music or hang out with friends. Yes they do play music here and have a dj area setup for it. In front of the entrance there is a bouncer watching to make sure everything is ok. read more

Track & Field Bar Hack: How to Win At Lawn Games With A Beer In Hand 1) Game lovers, assemble your league of champions: For maximum fun, go with a group of 6-10. To win, make sure everyone on your team knows how to play shuffleboard or bocce (pronounced bah-chee) - see #2 and House Rules at the end for details. 2) Know the rules of the game: Up your game by YouTubing it. For shuffleboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPsqB3tY7hk. For bocce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hhN6S-1urM. Crokinole, what's that? Also, since their courts are not regulation size, reading over their House Rules will help you win - and save your reputation. 3) Book your lane: Booking a lane will cost you $40/hour/group between 5 pm 'till midnight. On Friday, Saturday, Sunday nights, best to book ahead or wait at least 1-3 hours before you play. Pro-tip: All lanes are free after midnight and for walk-ins. 4) Look for the hidden entrance: Head west of College and Ossington, look for the black T&F logo and stairs leading down to seemingly nowhere. The mine-shaft, mega-basement is just under 5,000 sq ft and can hold 158 hipsters so come before 10 pm to avoid the queue. 5) Drinks and snacks: Beers on tap include Eephus Brown Ale, Oast House Barn Raiser, Beau's Lug Tread. Signature drinks include Versace Versace Versace, Quiet American, Negronis. Bar snacks include homemade jerky, wasabi peas, bits & bites, pretzels. Ordering Dominos pizza delivery is highly encouraged. No summer patio?, but why need one when you have the Astroturf? 6) Dance, dance: There's a dance floor, a live DJ playing modern indie, an ultra-modern bar, and a couch swing for all these mix of 20- and 30-somethings. Open seven days a week from 5 pm to 2 am at 860 College St. If I could, an overall 6/5 stars for Toronto's first ever lawn games bar. Brought to you by the owner of Montauk (Dustin Keating) and reminiscent of the hidden and much-loved Cold Tea, this New York-inspired bar is a game-changer -literally, merging cocktails and craft beer with shuffleboard and bocce. --- HOUSE RULES: @ http://www.trackandfieldbar.com/new-page-1/ and pasted here for convenience. BOCCE BALL Refill drink and hold in non-throwing hand. Form 2 teams of 2 or 4 players. One team tosses the small white ball - 'the pallino' - down the court. The same player tosses the first bocce ball. Teams alternate tossing bocce balls, trying to get closest to the pallino or knock the opponents' balls away. The closest team scores points for each ball closer than the opposing team's balls. The first team to 7 points wins! SHUFFLEBOARD Refill drink and form 2 teams of 2 or 4 players. Players use the cues to slide discs alternately starting with yellow. Players aim to push their own discs into the scoring area, or knock opponents' discs out of play (or into the 10-OFF area). Any disc that lands before the scoring triangle (neutral zone) is immediately removed from play. After all 8 discs have been played, discs in each scoring section of the triangle are added up to make a score. A scoring disc must NOT touch any lines within the scoring triangle. Each disc in the 10-OFF zone is -10 points (yes, you can get a negative score in shuffleboard!) The first team to reach 30 points wins! CROKINOLE Refill drink and form 2 teams of 2 or 4 players. Each team will have equal discs of different colours. To shoot, place the disc on the board at the 'starting line'. Each player will shoot discs only from within their particular quadrant of the board. The first player will try to shoot their disc into the centre '20' hole. If it successfully lands in the hole, the disc is removed and set aside to count as 20 points at the end of the round. If it does not land in the '20' hole, the next player must shoot at that opposing disc in an effort to knock it into the ditch. If a player does not hit the opposing player's disc, their disc is immediately removed and placed in the 'ditch'. Players alternate shooting their discs until all discs have been played. When all discs have been played, each disc in a scoring area is added up (any disc touching the lines separating each scoring area is counted at the lesser value). The difference of the count between players or teams is the score for that round. The first team to reach 100 points wins! read more

This place was dope. It would've been even doper if it had an actual running track inside haha. However, to compensate for that, they have a big space to play games - and not the usual pool and darts you see at a regular bar. Came here for the cocktails, stayed for the bocci ball. There was a decent amount of people during the random weekend afternoon that I came in, not too loud though, very chill environment...oh and the music! I loved whatever playlist they had going on - 2000s hip hop was giving me life! read more

This place was super fun!!! Love the vibe, drinks, and games. All three games were fun, including the table one. It was pretty easy to play the free lanes , we were able to put our names on the list a couple of times. Would definitely come back. Great place to chill and/or be active with a fun group of ppl! read more

This place is awesome. We came here for my birthday after going to a bar nearby for dinner. The place is quite spacious. And no, to answer your question there is no track to run your beer mile or alcohol fuelled marathon. (Run responsibly people!l) This place does have two lanes of people sized shuffle board lanes along with two lanes of mini-golf type carpet for this curling kinda game. How to play this carpet type of game: essentially you split into teams of two (blue and red). You begin the game by throwing the golf ball the other end. You then take turns in trying to get the ball as close to the golf ball as possible. You have to book your lanes in order to use them. It was pretty fun. But what about the drinks? They were good with the best names. I mean Versace Versace Versace and the Old Kayne. The bar definitely kept it One Hunnid with their unique glasses. The music overall was good as well. The one downside was that in the summer, it can get pretty stuffy in there. It wasn't too crowded on a Saturday night and was relatively easy to get drinks. Safe to say, I miss the Old Kanye. If you are looking for something different then this is the bar to go to. read more

Definitely something new and exciting to do in the city. The idea behind this place is pretty cool and the whole vibe of the place works very well. The place is pretty small, but big enough to not be crammed. There's a decent sized bar, a dance floor, several tables and standing tables and game pads/lawn pads for the bocce and shuffleboard games. You have to reserve your spot at a certain time, so arrive earlier in the night if playing a game on bocce/shuffleboard is on your mind! The drinks from the bar were really good. I tried several and the tender mixed them very well. Food can be ordered from outside, yup, you can call dominos and they will deliver. Around 1 am, the place got packed and the DJ was playing some solid beats. Place was bumping. Will definitely return! read more

I came here for the first time for a private event. I had a blast and will certainly come back with some friends or even a date night. Usually when you go out for drinks you're either sitting around a table, or on the dance floor. It was nice to have something different to do! There's bocce ball, shuffle board, and another board/like type game that I don't know the name of. All of the games are very easy to learn. The decor was fun and relaxed. There was a good selection of beers and wines. I was a little worried about how the games would work. For instance, do you just stand/sit and wait for someone to finish? That could take awhile if people don't want to share. However, they have someone who organizes the line-ups, in 20 minute intervals. Enough to play a few games. We only had to wait for one round before we got to play. Not sure how long the wait is on the weekend. Looks like you can reserve a lane though if you're planning to go with a group. read more

First time here for a friend's birthday, and we had a BLAST. Honestly didn't know what to expect but the games were so fun, and it had such a great vibe!! Came with a large group of people on a Friday night, but it is a good sized bar with plenty of room to mingle, and some seating areas. The staff were super nice, and honestly their drinks are SUCH a deal for the area they are located in. Also loved how they had such a wide variety of music playing. Highly recommend trying this place out for anyone looking for a fun night out but a little bit more on the chill-er end of the spectrum!! read more

Cool idea for a bar. They have lawn bowling and shuffleboards available for patrons while they drink and chat. Great for small groups and dates, especially during the day when they are not busy. You can also reserve a lane to yourself for $40 during busy hours. Barkeeper was friendly during our visit, down to chat while we pored over the menu to decide on a drink. Would return! read more

We stumbled upon this bar randomly and was surprised to see their game lanes at the entrance of the bar. "Is this really a bar?" We questioned ourselves. Good thing there's a full bar and many tables for us who are there to get intoxicated. The menu has the regular beer/hard liquor/cocktails. I tried their cocktail on the tap - nice tea, which actually tasted quite strong. We stayed to watch guests play a couple round of the games. They are all kinda similar to curling and seemed quite fun to play as a group. There's a line system going on and the bar gets busy after 11pm. It's a fun and hipster place that I might bring friends to in the future if we are looking for something different. :) read more

Track & Field Bar - The game lanes - Dance Clubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A great place to try something different with your friends. Track and Field bar has 2 main games there - shuffleboard and bocce ball. Yup they are doing something different than the pool tables, darts, axe throwing, bowling etc. And it's fun! Also because you can book a lane that means you have plenty of time to play with your friends to get a real feel for the games. Located on Ossignton Ave, you have to go downstairs to get to this place. A huge bar and plenty of seating allows you and your friends to play some games, or just chill. It's a bit dark down here but that's part of the charm. There is a small food menu but I heard they don't mind if you order food in (seriously?! ) You can reserve lanes at $40 or just try your luck and walk in and see if you can score a lane. They do seem to get busy on the weekends and the lanes are booked up (per their calendar on their website - you can see what the availability is like if you really want to ensure you get a reserved lane) The bartender and staff were all friendly - we had a lot of fun. I'll definitely be back. read more

Funny enough, I had my first experience at a bar which has shuffle board and bocce only a month before visiting here. https://www.yelp.ca/biz/rhein-haus-seattle-3 I was a little spoiled by Rhein Haus since their playing surfaces were far better than Track and Field's. With that said, at least there's a local place that offers bocce and shuffle board, and I love having something else to do in a bar than just sitting at a table. I'll go ahead and give this place 4 stars since they allow outside food which is awesome. This way you can pretty much eat what you want, drink, play bocce for pretty cheap. read more

I've been to Track and Field quite a few times, and I only have nice things to say. It is a place for games, killer cocktails, craft beer and DJ-infused good times. The Games: Bocce ball, shuffleboard and crokinole. They're free to play. You put your name on the list and a Gamesmaster arranges 20 minute slots for everyone. It is great because you don't have to hassle anyone yourself and it keeps things pleasant and fair. If you want to rent out a lane for an hour you also have the option of paying a fee. The Drinks: Decent selection of craft beer and really decent cocktails. They nail classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and the Negroni. Their lemon nice tea is also delicious (and far too easy to down). I also enjoy their bespoke list of cocktails, as well as their humorous titles e.g. the Marissa Cooper, the Bad and Bocce and the Old Kanye. The Staff: Some of the best in Toronto. The bartenders make excellent drinks and they're quick about it. They are jovial, friendly and look happy to be working there. What's more, they will pour you big old glasses of water (with ice) very happily. No lip pursing or eye rolls, like you may see at other places. I love that they respond to people their social media as well. The Food: The offer a few basic snack items and are totally encouraging of patrons bringing in outside food. You can easily order pizza or Uber Eats to the bar. Late Night: On the weekends they have a DJ busting out beats until the wee hours. A few weeks ago my group had the most fun we'd had in ages dancing to old and new tunes. There is a dancey bit up the back near the DJ. It is also dark enough to dance where you're standing. Late night you may encounter a line. Check it out, highly recommended. read more

This place is ace! Live DJ- music was fantastic both nights I've been! Sipping on cocktails and craft beer while playing bocce ball and shuffleboard... meet me there this weekend!? Tip- as soon as you step in the door put your name down for either game as you'll be waiting! read more

This place has potential to be fun but if all tables are already occupied you're better off at the next closest joint for a drink. read more

Track & Field Bar - order the Versace Versace Versace and you will have be tipped by the bartender with a $100 bill artfully wrapped around your order - Dance Clubs Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Track and field was definitely the perfect spot for me to celebrate my big 3-0! Communication was top notch with Tasha and when we came in, we were able to get a long table as well as introduction to how the lanes work! we had about 50 friends comes in to help celebrate my birthday and it was a great space for people to just pop in, grab a drink and play some games! What else could a girl ask for? Honestly, their drinks are amazing and the atmosphere is just fun! You can also bring your own food, which we did and you can even order food to the place. There's crokinole, bocce and shuffleboard! There is a dj later at night and we had some fun dancing. The vibe is great and the people are all around super friendly. I highly recommend this place for your next gathering or just a local hang out. We'll be back for sure!!! read more

This place is AMAZING! I'm well over the club scene so it is nice to find great bars that have DJ and dancing. On top of that they have amazing cocktails (try the Versace Versace Versace which is a cocktail on tap that comes complete with a fake hundred dollar bill on the glass - $10) and so many fun games. You can reserve the bocce or shuffleboard lanes but they also offer free 20min slots available on a first come first serve. The bar staff is FAST and friendly so you aren't going to get stuck waiting forever for a drink even when it is busy, which it does get on the weekends. This place is great for birthdays and since they don't have a kitchen they even allow you to order your own food and bring it in to your table. This has to be my favourite bar in Toronto right now. Prices are reasonable, great music, great crowd, great fun and so much more! read more

So this is a fun little bar on College near Dufferin. It's got that student bar vibe for sure but probably aimed a slightly older crowd. It's located in a basement with little to no natural lighting which actually helps with the ambiance. There are also several board games, as well as floor games that you can sign-up for and play. Nothign electronic or crazy, but games like bocci ball, shuffle board, and a table game that roughly resembles curling. Aside from that it's very much a dive bar. Drinks around $8 to $10 most beer, cider and well drinks and whatever they want for top shelf. They have coat check for $3 in the back. Please do take advantage because it's hard to keep track of your coat as tables are first come first serve. The DJ who shows up on Saturday (at least when I went) was a pair of guys who were phenomenal. Great read of the crowd, lots of old school and top 40 music and mixed really, really well. After 11pm they have a line-up as there's limited capacity allowed and start charging cover. A good spot to start your night off at or end off if you're making rounds. read more

I recently had a birthday party here and the staff was incredibly accommodating. They answered all and any questions I had. I was even allowed to bring outside food into the bar. They said I could bring anything except ice cream cake. The only flaw is that the bocce court isn't level. So sometimes the balls roll around and it's a little frustrating, but is it fun just the same! read more

Ratings: Food: n/a Drink:9/10 Facilities: 8/10 Service: 9/10 General Aesthetics: 9/10 Hygeine/Cleanliness: 9/10 Value: 8/10 Tucked away in a basement in Little Italy, I wasn't sure what to expect from this place when I showed up and walked down the stairs into this bar. I appreciate the fact that you can cater food at T&F, that's always nice that you can bring something you enjoy. They make decent cocktails there, and have a reasonable selection of drinks around. Their descriptions are also pretty funny. The venue was actually a lot nicer than what I expected. The shuffleboard plates are a little worn but still good to play. There weren't as many of the games available, but I suppose the size is a factor. I managed to get in one game of each of the things they had available. The staff here were friendly and polite. The decor is simple and doesn't try too hard, the little green here and there to accentuate the bar. The music they had was great, and the atmosphere was really relaxed and casual. Cleanliness was fine, floors and facilities are generally well-kept. Floors aren't sticky, tables are clean. Value is alright, pints are 8, half pint 4, cocktails around 12-14 each. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a nice venue to hangout and relax and play some games, while having a drink. read more

I really love this place. First of all the bartenders are fantastic. Friendly and crazy helpful. One stopped our group from ordering food and instead suggesting order in pizzas to the bar. Secondly, where else can you play bocce ball and full sized shuffle board while you drink. They have other games in the back but in the times I have been there, I've never gotten to them. Both have one free lane and one you can reserve in advance although I've never had a problem getting into one of the free lanes. The space is large, very open and simple. Its in a basement and never super crowded. The drinks are very reasonable and the vibe is fun. read more

I was first introduced to this place as part of Yelp event but have returned a few more times since then. I seriously never thought I'd be playing bocce at this age, but T&F sure make it a great experience. My favourite thing about this spot, apart from the yummy cocktails (negroni on tap!) and craft brews, is that they invite you to bring in your own food! They only have a couple snacky items on the menu so you are better off either eating prior, bringing food, or having pizza delivered (which they encourage!). It's a great spot for groups and events - they have two lanes for bocce and shuffleboard each. You can reserve a lane in advance for $40 an hour OR you can sign up first come first serve for 20 minute slots. It does get really busy on the weekends but our group still managed to play bocce twice and shuffleboard once. While you're waiting your turn to play you can enjoy some delish drinks and play some crokinole. They also had a DJ on Saturday night which was really nice. read more

Well, that was a lot of fun. We arrived around 9pm on a Friday. The place wasn't what I would define as busy but still had a good number of people in it for such an early hour, and both the bocce ball and shuffleboard lanes were in full swing. In the background, the speakers played a 5 star worthy playlist of golden era hip hop. I'm talking all the 90's anthems and bangers from the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, De La Soul, Notorious BIG, M.O.P, KRS-One, etc etc etc. They even have a drink called "Can I Kick It (Yes You Can)" so this place was instantly in my good books. We settled in and ordered a couple of drinks (around $8 a piece) and signed up with "the Gamesmaster" for a shuffleboard court, which was about an hour and 40 minute worth of a waiting list, and even longer for Bocce access. In the interim, we discovered a couple Crokinole boards at the back of the bar and began our gaming there. A dj started a bit after 10pm, continuing on the classic hip hop tip but also working in various classic rock songs and a few more modern hits, but still staying clear of anything too mainstream like Drake or Bieber or going into the hardcore trap shit thats everywhere now (thank you random DJ, you da real MVP). When it was our turn to play, it turns out Shuffleboard is surprisingly fun. You get a 20 minute turn and The Gamesmaster (aka the guy manning the list for turns when you first walk in) will help explain the rules so that you can get the most of it. We left shortly after midnight and there was actually a line up to get in, so I would definitely recommend going early. Especially early if you want to get in on the games. But that all said, this place is pretty darn cool... I'll definitely be coming back soon for more. read more

This bar was such a unique and fun experience! I think it's the only bar in the city where you can play drunken shuffle board and bocce :) The staff are all super friendly and helpful! I would advise getting there early if you want to play the games though, because this place was packed on a Saturday night. There were lots of people celebrating birthdays here - I think it would be the perfect atmosphere for that, a first date or a casual and fun night with friends! read more

I agree with a previous poster that this is an uber-hipster bar. While I definitely do not fall into the category, it shouldn't stop you from going. We dropped in for a few drinks and games of shuffleboard and bocce ball. While I was terrible at the former, my performance at the latter was actually decent (most likely due to the amount of drinks consumed at that point). The menu is tiny, so don't bother ordering any bar bites here. Perhaps in the future they will expand the food offerings, as we need something to soak up all that booze! Overall, it was a fun night and I wouldn't mind returning in the future. PS. I was the only person wearing heels in the whole bar - my advice would be to dress down! read more

To me, this is less of a bar and more of a destination. The bar aspect of their little basement setup is nice, but it's the fusion of these typically-outdoor games and the atmosphere of an indoor bar that knocks it out of the park. After seeing the (outdoor) bocce pit at Local Public Eatery over the summer, I couldn't get the idea of mixing a bar & lawn bowling out of my brain. But when I heard about T&F I couldn't wrap my head around how it could be done well. Well, they figured it out, and they made it happen. The bocce and shuffleboard courts are setup reminiscient of a bowling alley, with some raised seating around them, an open area around the bar (dancing?) and some crokinole (!!) boards at the opposite end. The place was almost completely empty (a weekday evening) when I was there, and it still had a fantastic vibe. Imagining a Friday or Saturday, with people dancing, drinking, bocce-ing, and shooting crokinole? That's the stuff dreams are made of. For information's sake: there's always a walk-in bocce and shuffleboard lane available for free, but I'm assuming the wait list for those gets pretty heavy on busy nights. You can also reserve a lane for $40/hr if that's your thing. read more

Where do I start, the fact that this place has free admission is a big bonus. The drinks are reasonably priced,and fun. Friendly staff, fun times, Oh and not to mention they let you bring in your own food. And you can also order a pizza to the bar(they actually encourage it). read more

Amazing atmosphere and bar tenders were very kind. The games here are a lot fun and it gets busy quick but there's a list you put your name on to queue. The drinks are all fantastic and the bartenders are friendly! read more

My brother and I stumbled upon this place our first day exploring Toronto. We're from New York and Boston and have not found a place this great!! We were there when they opened so it was quiet but so great to have access to all the games as we pleased. The staff was so accommodating and friendly, one bartender helped us pick a place to go to for dinner. Really enjoyed it and might go back again before we leave. Such a cool, fun place! read more

This place is pretty fun. I didn't even know such a place existed. Lots of good drinks, and they allow outside food, probably because they serve just hummus on the menu. You can book lanes in the advance (preferred) or walk in, but you might get the dark shuffle board lane. It was way more fun than I thought. I will totally come back here! read more

A super-fun time and great place to hangout with old friends. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The bartenders have very impressive skills and the in-house gaming options make you feel like you are tailgating at a football game. A's for this place! read more

I get to pick where my coworkers go for our monthly socials and I wanted to try T&F after a write up on a blog. We got there pretty early (5:30pm) and had the space to ourselves for a while before another corp party showed up. I love bocce but am not lugging that shiz around. I had never played shuffle board before, and after a little tutelage, I pretty much won against everyone which is my fav. Except one coworker so maybe we'll be back for a showdown. I thought their cocktails were delightful, I may have tried most of them (thank you, baby Jesus for corporate cards) They let us order food to the bar which was really appreciated since there's some delightful pizzerias on College. Oh! and while we were there whomever is in charge of the tunes really was doing a bang up job, I shimmied. High fives. read more

Track & Field is a very cool bar. They have a pretty original concept with all the classic games around the bar. Simply an amazing location for 1st time Tinder encounters, with place to dance, place to talk, place to drink, place to eat and place to play games. I must add that the washrooms are pretty intimate, if you can't wait to get home before gettin it in. read more

Great staff and you can order outside food, have it delivered. The games were overpriced but the music and ambiance made up for it.

I started coming to Track & Field because I work in the neighbourhood and wanted a new watering hole, helped that an old friend of mine Alex Pearce from the Drake now works there so it was a nice way to invite me in. It easily became a place that I feel completely welcomed & have made so many friends. The entire staff (Dustin, Nickie, Josh, sorry Jesse, Tasha, Alex, Steve, Joey, Lina, Vic, handsome Shawn Robert, other Alex, Becca, Brandon) are thoroughly enjoyable & often remind me of scarecrows simply because they are outstanding in their fields... Very talented & good humoured. Cocktails are interesting & delicious. Beers & craft cans, rail & basically anything you'd ever desire to drink. Two simple cute little bar snacks BUT they're super supportive if you wanna order a pizza to the bar. The owners paired with another talented industry bombshell to open Pray Tell just down the street so I'd suggest staying local & loyal & grabbing snacks there! The set up & decor is super inviting & different, including a moderate amount of seating (couch swing included) but who needs to sit when you have amazing music playing that makes you want to shake your rump, as well as two shuffle board & bocce ball lanes! Ultimately, if you want a fun & friendly place to be stimulated - just go, I'll probably be there. read more

Track and Field brings out the kid in you! It's an incredibly fun lawn games bar where you can reserve Bocce Ball and Shuffleboard courts for $40/hour (Who doesn't love drinking and playing games!?!). It's perfect for a special event, like a birthday, but remember to book in advance because it's in high demand. If you're not celebrating anything special you can simply go for a cocktail in the warm & cozy basement bar and stare at all twenty and early-thirty year olds who are dressed in casual-chic attire. Oh, and I forgot to mention the best thing!!! You can bring in food from elsewhere, or even have food delivered to the bar. Very laid-back. read more

Great bar to go to play shuffleboard or bocce! Really cool concept. You can reserve lanes to play. You can also order in your own food which is awesome. Definitely a fun place to go! The drinks they make are really great! read more
