Looking for the perfect place to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs in the playoffs? Whether you're looking to join the crowd in Maple Leaf Square or prefer to enjoy the game with a refreshing beverage in front of a large screen, Toronto has plenty of options for you. Here are some of the top spots to catch the Leafs' playoff games this year.
Every playoff game, Maple Leaf Square outside of Scotiabank Arena transforms into a massive tailgate party and game-viewing celebration, complete with entertainment, exclusive giveaways, live DJ shows, and special guests, as well as food and boozy beverage offerings.
And as the Leafs enter the second round, the tailgate party will be expanding to add another viewing zone. The extension will run along Bremner Boulevard from York Street to Lower Simcoe Street. Fans can watch all the action via two extra big screens. Admission is free but you’ll need to reserve your ticket online ahead of time to make sure you can join in on all the fun.
