She put that on the table but didn't touch it and even ordered a plate of home fries. She got asked to relocate the food to the kitchen which I understand of the food policy of each restaurant. However, she promised to put it away but my colleague said the staff kept checking if she was gonna eat the take out instead. I think is kinda rude to do that or nowadays people just don't trust the others. Service was soso. Monday was not a busy night but didn't know why the service was like that. I ordered chicken wings and I think it was a bit over-cooked or it supposed to be that dry.

Hoops is a chained restaurant? How?…read more Let me get this in the open right now; if you are a civilized person, do not come here. If you're looking for a place to subside your hunger, do not come here. If lack the physical ability to defend yourself, do not come here. And if you are a York University student looking for some late night grub, don't have a car and this was the only place open, still..do not come here! I have been here on several occasions, none of which were voluntary, and all of them during the late hours. I like to call it: 'The Hoops of York' You will never have trouble finding parking here as the enormous lot caters exclusively to its patrons at night with every other store closed. This run-on sentence concludes everything good I have to say about Hoops. Upon entrance, you are met by baseball caps, size XXL collared shirts on medium sized people, medium Tapout shirts on XXL people, students who should be studying at the Library at York instead, and clusters of Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue rejects. You will see beings of all stereotypes, and if you're lucky you might even see the waitress who is supposed to seat you. There are plenty of flat screens to keep you distracted while you endure the unbearable wait for your food. They go out of their way in promoting the wings here, and if you order anything else, I suggest you bring a Rubik's cube to keep you company. The portion of the wings & fries are generous, but once you sink your teeth in, it quickly becomes obvious that these wings have been frozen..and probably for a long time. Seriously, what on Earth do they expect you to do with all that fries?! Don't come here with more than a group of four. But if you are, I hope for your sake there's a game on, and you're planning to watch it til the end. On certain days of the week, you'll get some army guys from the armoury nearby after 10:30 at night. Whether you support the troops or not, for goodness sake do not go near them. They will start a fight with you, as they believe they own the place. But that just about goes for every click who frequent here. There is an air of tension between each table. Someone once threatened me saying that his uncle was "up there" with the Hell's Angels. So naturally I told him that my uncle was "up there" with Toronto Police, and it would be lovely if our uncles were ever to meet. It gets pretty busy at night with students who don't know how to cook, and are too good for instant noodles. They even have a DJ booth at the elevated section spinning everything I hate. The restaurant is horribly under staffed, and it appears that the bartender seconds as the manager at front of house. Its miraculous that anyone here gets their order at this place. Honestly, my Yorkie friends. Forget about taking your hot classmate here to try to inebriate her. Just do her homework instead. It's faster.

I had the Montreal smoked meat which looked promising but the meat was not as tasty as I was hoping. I guess don't order Montreal smoked meat outside of Montreal. I sat up at the bar and the bartender was lovely about and poured me a practically perfect Guinness. I had a great view of the hockey game on all the different screens available, great sport bar. Would come back to watch a game and change up my food expectations though.

I came here on Saint Patrick's day to score a green beer and they have a ton of beer options to choose from. Server was friendly and attentive and even offered a free green hat and glasses to add on the festivities. It's not too busy here and you'll easily get seats for Saint Patrick's Day. I think if you're huge into the holiday, you'll probably hit up Downtown. But if you want something low key and still get your green beer, this is a solid choice. We ordered the cheese burger and also the fish tacos along with some extra coleslaw. I heard the burgers are made in house and they are good and the fish taco size was quite generous and filling.

From the moment I walked in, I regretted every life decision that led me to this door. The service? Non-existent. I think the servers were actively avoiding eye contact so they wouldn't have to do their job. It took 25 minutes just to get water, and by the time my food arrived, I had aged emotionally. The food? I've had better meals at gas stations at 3 AM. My "grilled" chicken tasted boiled, microwaved, then dropped on the floor for texture. The fries were cold, soggy, and somehow still burnt. Even the ketchup tasted tired. The atmosphere? If you enjoy sticky tables, flickering lights, and a soundtrack of loud people arguing over who hates the place more, then you'll feel at home. I couldn't even focus on my meal because I was too distracted by wondering if the ceiling was going to collapse. To top it all off, the bill looked like they accidentally charged me for the entire restaurant's rent this month. Save your money, your stomach, and your sanity. This place should be avoided at all costs.

This hole in the wall place is close by to our home and it's been on our radar for awhile. Finally stopped in for the quarter final England vs Norway game. As we figured most bars and pubs will be packed we really didn't wanna be in a crowded place. So glad we did, they did special World Cup pints for $5! We weren't crazy hungry so we go the bang bang shrimp to start! Best bang bang shrimp we've ever had! Came in 8 pcs for $13.99. Next we decided to take advantage of the 2lbs wing with fries for $15 when you order a pitcher of beer. ($21.99 and up) We got Cajun and lemon pepper! Their wings are huge and their spice blends was fire!! Was sad they ran out of mango chipotle! Will definitely be back to try their tacos! The only thing worth mentioning is even with their high ceiling their ventilation seems not so good. You could smell everything the kitchens making. Other than that this place was awesome!

I've been to the Hoops downtown Toronto many times, but only because its closest place to get a beer during Fan Expo. The food was average at best so I didnt have high hopes for this location. We wandered in on a Friday night, and boy has it changed since The Smoke was there. There are tv's EVERYWHERE, which is pretty awesome. The place is pretty ugly though. Yeesh. Talk about drab. The staff are all very young and inexperienced, but very nice and accommodating, and got our orders perfectly. This place just opened so I'm sure it wont take long for them to feel more natural and at ease. The bar was impressive and has a great selection of liquors. This place will be perfect for anyone coming just to watch and game and have a drink. Cuz the food is not great. I ordered the special of the day, steak fajitas. They were awful. Steak was overcooked and bitter. Hard to bite through. The veggies were slimy. Yuck. My wife's chilli nachos were pretty good! Fyi there is no kid's menu, so we got our kid chicken fingers and fries. The fries were decent. The chicken fingers were bland but were cooked well and had an awesome crisp to them. But yeah bland chicken fingers. It was also drafty in there. Chilly. Not cozy. They did have a DJ there playing who was good, music gave a good vibe to the place for a Friday night. In the end this place feels like a pub from 15 years ago, when this kind of food was expected from a pub, before all the chain pubs stepped up their food game. Stick to the booze and enjoy the game, and you'll like this place. And hey the fries are good.

Upon arrival, I found the facility very modern, clean and organized. They had several tables in the middle for dine-in. The axe throwing cages were large, each with 2 lanes and firm fence all around. It was easy go in and out of the lane and interact with friends. There also had several drinks and alcohol available at the bar/register counter. At the beginning a staff member briefed us the axe throwing process and assisted us with first few throws. Then we played about 6 rounds of games. The boards were in pretty bad condition, as they were being for a long time. Bullseye and other markings almost faded away. After that, we tried the daggers for few rounds. None of us could really stick the daggers in the board. The cost came about $36 CAD per person for about 45 minutes. Overall we had a good fun time. They staff were friendly and helpful.

Although they have food options available, I was amazed to find out that I was able to order in the food of my choice (see review for Bosphorus). BATL set up our area for our spread and provided us with plates and utensils. Upon arrival, we were provided with comprehensive instructions on how to throw by our amazing instructor, Angel. Her enthusiasm was next level and right from the start, she had the team engaged and excited. The couple of hours we had booked flew bye and everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend booking them for any type of event.
