There's the Commuters' Lounge inside Union. They're stupid expensive though.

If you leave the station, take a left outside and head west. Right across University/York Street, there's a Casey's. Opposite that across Front is a Jack Astor's, and just a bit further down the road are a plethora of others including the Loose Moose, East Side Mario's, and more.

Downstairs at Union Station there's a sports bar - It's right by the LCBO and Pizza Place. It's pretty small and crappy - but it's the closest. I'd reccoment taking the extra 5 mins and going to Jack's or Loose Moose

The Loose Moose, which is a half-block west (closer to the CN Tower) of Union Station on the north side of Front, shows the TFC games on the big screen.

and if your gf dances on the bar and gives them her bra you get a free drink at Loose Moose.

There's a cool pub about a 5 minute walk from Union called Scotland Yard. Its on the Esplanade. Not sure if they'll be showing the game but i have seen football games on the TV's before. I cant explain how to get there but i can say walking through the GO bus terminal is the fastest. There is a map if you click the link and look under "location"....Its also a good place for a game of darts

I remember being a kid and Scotland Yard was called the Organ Grinder. I was so amazing when I was a kid. The guy playing the organ cranked the organ that made bubbles come out (hahahaha that sounds rediculous!)

They also had video games in the back - I remember the star wars one (where you were flying and had to blow up the death star).

Awesome!
