TKO’s The Sports Pub

Great little place right by Coxwell subway station so no need to worry about drinking and driving. Great food and cold beer. Have had a few work functions here with groups of 15 to 20 people. Cozy with TV screens. Always great service!

Real surprise on that stretch of road. The place is tiny, and let’s face it, a bit on the dated side, but it’s clean, the taps run cold, and the food is remarkable.
Had the BLT and side greek salad. The BLT was done properly so that it stayed crisp until the end and lots of bacon, and the «side» salad was a full large serving heaped over half the plate. Everything was fresh, especially the tomatoes, which as a single key ingredient will make or break either the sandwich or the salad.
If you are looking for a great lunch and cold beer, with friendly service and that hardcore dated diner feel (that’s a good thing LOL), then the TKO needs to be on your list to visit at Coxwell and Danforth.

I had lunch today at TKO’s The Sports Pub.
I ordered a Breaded Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich. It was a big sandwich and I’m glad I didn’t get a side order of fries, soup or salad (about an extra $ 2.50). The bun was warm and soft and toasted a bit on the inside. The chicken was real chicken breast (not processed chicken). It was a delicious messy sandwich and I’d get it again. The lunch price was about $ 8
Leslie was my server. She was friendly and chatty.

Yum! To anybody living in the neighborhood you will understand our food options are limited to certain fast food chains and that can get old. I am not usually a bar person since I don’t drink but I gave this place a try with my wife and wow the food is good! The price is equal to the fast food restaurants in the area but much tastier. I recommend most their burger menu, although I haven’t been disappointed with other options yet. Definitely go for their burgers… plus they’re half price on saturdays… so cheap! Ignore the unappealing exterior look and come here for delicious affordable food with your date (although beware of big game nights because it will be packed with sports fans) Otherwise… enjoy!

Fast, friendly service in a cozy family bar setting. They’re getting creative with their menu and specials and it’s always nice to go in and try something new.

Called for a takeout order and the guy asked me to go on hold. He then forgot about me completely and left the phone off the hook. I tried calling back several times over the next hour and it was still off the hook. Won’t be ordering from there again.

Went for an after work pint and dinner. We liked the look of their burger menu and they even had a veggie burger so… I ordered the number 8 veggie burger with hot sauce jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese! Delish! Burger craving satisfied. ;)

Friendly staff. Amazing service. Loved the steak burger and burger with onions. Will go again for sure

Friendly staff, great food, chill atmosphere. Definitely my number one go-​to in this neighborhood.

The only reason I’m giving this dive two stars is for their amazing wings.
Other than that — avoid at all costs.
The staff is crusty, and that is an understatement. Melissa and the gentleman that tends bar with her on Saturdays are about the only decent people here.
I once got into a random conversation with an openly gay man at the bar, and the trollish little waitress just kept rolling her eyes and snickering with the owner of the bar at a back table.
The following week I went back by myself — and was again met with snickers and eye rolling from the aforementioned troll.
They don’t want your business if you aren’t a regular, and if you are even somewhat animated or have a sparkle of life in you — it’s frowned upon at this place.
They also arbitrarily decide who to cut off — and it’s never a regular.
So, to sum it all up — if you are a somewhat outside-​of-​the-​box person, and you want to experience the diner scene in «Easy Rider» — head on over to TKO’s.
Or — better yet — order the wings for take out (jerk is the best flavor) — and get the hell out of Dodge.

Dropped by here for a drink and some food after a soccer game on a Tuesday night. My friend’s bf has been coming here for years, so he recommended that we drop by. It was that old school feel (prob because they haven’t changed the furniture since they opened hahaha), but it feels really cozy and homey. The staff are really nice and always check up on you. At the time, there was only one woman working the floor and she did great attending to all the tables.
I decided to get a beer and some honey bbq wings with fries. OMG. The wings. That’s all I really need to say. I could end the review here, but I’m going to make you drool instead: D The wings were huge! HUGE! They were also sauced up, but not to the point where the amount of sauce was overwhelming and gross. I loved how much sauce there was. Perfect. The wings were also crispy and juicy and amazing and just soooooooooo gooooooood. Honey BBQ is a winner… you should try it. I got my fries well done and they were also great.
Gahhhhhhhhhh I love the wings! Def come by and try them out if you’re in the area. So. Damn. Good.

I went to this place a couple weekends ago in search of some great karaōke I’d read about online. I arrived and the place was fairly empty. There was no entertainment happening other than a couple tvs showing sports events. I sat at the bar and waited several minutes to be acknowledged by the staff. The beer selection on tap wasn’t bad. It was St. Patrick’s-ish so I got a Guinness. The bar tender and server both seemed to hate their jobs and the locals were barely speaking to each other, just staring at the TVs. Total depressing vibe. After my beer I asked the bartender about the karaōke and he told me the karaōke room was long gone and was now an apartment but he told me to go to a place just down the road. During my half hour there I also heard him refer two other walk-​ins to other bars. Why send people to other businesses instead of fixing your own? I don’t know. Anyway, the place is clean, the beer selection is ok, two stars. Probably won’t go back.

Best. Wings. Ever.
’nuff said. :)
TKO’s is the only place that you can count on for awesome food, the best wings (double cooked — fried and grilled). they are perfection. Lurve this place!

TKOs is a very accessible neighborhood pub. We like to stop here on a weeknight for a couple of pints and a quick dinner. It is super convenient– being located right in front of Coxwell station it’s easy to get to on a cold winter night. They have an extensive menu with an interesting mix of pub food, casual Italian and Greek… but don’t expect any microbrews.
Their selection of burger toppings is long and interesting. My husband once said he ate «one of the best burgers he ever had here» and I appreciate that every burger can be substituted with a veggie patty and comes with delicious coleslaw.
The service and food can be somewhat hit or miss. Usually right on, but there is occasionally an off day. I guess the best servers and chefs always need a day off.

My new response to «Where should I watch _​_​_​_​sport or Olympics?» is going to be TKO’s. There are about ten TVs in here and each one is tuned to a different sporting event. You won’t miss a second of coverage if you come here at the right time.
Everything is oddly priced (ending in .97 or .22, etc.), presumably to round out to an even dollar amount. There are wings, nachos, burgers and other, typical pub fare here. They have many beers on tap but none of them are that good so don’t come here looking for artisanal beer.
It was painfully evident that our server hated his job, but what he lacked in friendliness or hospitality he made up for in basic efficiency and accuracy. There aren’t many vegetarian options on the menu but I did spot a note saying «We have a veggie burger» (no price) so I ordered it. With my extensive experience eating Lick’s burgers at home and at the retail stores, I’m fairly positive it’s what I had here, and I have no qualms about that, since Lick’s veggie burgers are universally loved by all of humanity.

Good local sports bar. Tonnes of TVs but they gotta spring for the HD.
Burgers and nachos are tops.
