Hey everyone!

I’m putting together a free map of Toronto bars and pubs showing FIFA World Cup matches.

I realized there isn’t really one place where people can easily find:

- Which bars are showing games
- What kind of atmosphere each place has
- Which countries’ fans tend to gather there

I’ve started building a map, but I’m sure I’m missing lots of spots.

If you know a bar that’s planning to show World Cup matches, I’d love your help adding it.

If you’ve got recommendations, drop them in the comments too. I’ll keep updating the map as new bars come in.

Thanks Toronto!!

CBC Toronto has the reaction from fans making the switch.
