How to pick a sports bar in Sydney, Canada

Screens beat everything.

Count the TVs before you count the taps. A good sports bar has sightlines from every seat — if you have to crane your neck, keep walking.

Sound matters for big games.

Playoff games and finals deserve a bar that turns the sound on. Call ahead if the game matters to you; the best bars advertise which matches they're showing.

Arrive early for the big ones.

Championship games, derbies and rivalry matches fill sports bars an hour before kickoff. The regulars know this. Now you do too.

Food is part of the deal.

Wings, nachos, burgers — sports-bar food is its own cuisine. Kitchens get slammed at halftime, so order before the break.
