Despite being a guy, I never enjoyed watching sports. But I had a dudes' night out at WEGZ for leafs game recently, and I had a fun time. Very lively and energetic environment. Unlike other bars, it has a spacious and open feel. It indeed lives up to "stadium" part of its business name. While overall decor leans towards business-like modern vibe, It has an inviting warm feel too. Tables are large enough to accommodate macho size dinner plates. During game night, it was very fun to watch the game with the cheering crowd. The difference between watching a game at the stadium and this bar is totally subjective. Not one is better than the other. You choose the setting, and you will get a different satisfying experience. The audience felt more connected and closer at this bar than at the stadium somehow. You also get to have dinner while watching the sports game too. And it's all party! You get so many things under one roof.
Did I mention this facility has TVs? Oh yes they do. Maybe half the TVs in Vaughan area are located in WEGZ. There are tons of them. In every single corner and on every single wall. There are even individual TVs on booth tables! The sound system is nothing to be ashamed of. It is more felt than heard at WEGZ.
Foods are decent. Actually, does it matter? You're watching the game anyways. Wings are ok. The ribs were not as juicy and tender as I would have hoped, but I would still pass that as decent. However, I would say that the foods are bit overpriced for the quality. Service is a bit slow. Foods took a bit of time to arrive at the table. Servers don't really come by often.
Beer selection is your typical garden-variety Molson, Keith, Stella and Bud. They have Sleeman and Hoegaarden though, which are the only decent beer to drink at this bar.
As an added bonus, there are games and pool tables. -

Nice place, spent a few hours here watching the basketball game. Bought some wings, drank some beer.
Wasn't too busy when i went, the bar was separated into a few sections, i sat in the section with the big screen.
I like the nachos here, one of my favs, its huge portion and can almost fill me up even before I even got the wings.
Service was nice the waiter and waitress was hanging around all night and asked us if we needed anything. -

I don't frequent Sport Bar this size of WEGZ...
I just a little confused... I know on Saturday night when UFC, Hockey and NBA All star going on, I expect a full house...
But I don't understand why I am standing in the middle of no where or right next to someone dining tables?? I got a little confused and a little afraid wondering when one of those bulk muscle guys in their jersey going to come over and physically pick me up and move me aside because I am blocking their view.
I guess I have to come back on another night or come early? or come with a reservations? I don't mind one day watching the Leafs wining the Stanley Cup with a good crowd here.........one day.... ONE DAY!Listed in: February 2012 Challenge!

For a sports bar, the food is remarkably good. I ordered a stadium house salad with balsamic vinegrette (I pre-ate) and a bud light lime, and my +1 had bar size (as opposed to stadium size) bourbon bbq babyback ribs with fries and mixed greens. The ribs tasted great with a nice smoky sauce, the salad was standard with no complaints, and the atmosphere got pretty loud - not for the Leafs game, but the MMA matches that played on a few screens until the Leafs lost in regulation time.
It's a great place to watch a big game with a group of friends. There are large screens mounted all around the restaurant, as well as at the bar, so you never have a bad seat. They are accommodating with requests to keep a screen on a game or niche sport, so don't be afraid to ask!
The service is friendly, and our server came back quite a few times to apologize for the "backed up" kitchen and to top up non-alcoholic drinks. It took about 45min to get our two orders, which is a bit slow for bar food. In the end it worked out for us, because we didn't need to keep ordering food and drink to stay through to the end of the game.
I'd return with a group of friends to watch a game, as long as we don't need to converse with each other. It definitely gets loud! -

This is "the" REAL sports bar in the GTA.
WEGz stands for Woodbine Entertainment Group if you didn't know, so this is a ca$h money establishment, beautiful interior, large screens all over, and some booths have video game systems. There's a sports ticker to keep track of scores, champions lounge, pool tables, table soccer, golf simulators.
I've been here on a several occassion throughout the years at all different times and it's always been good place to go to. Especially for pay per view events.
The kitchen here is top notch not the regular run of the mill bar food, with my favorite dish being the penne with goat cheese and chorizo sausage. Nachos are king as well. -

Seen one sports bar seen them all right? No you are wrong, so very very wrong. Wegz is something epic. Ridiculously epic. I don't even know where to start! It's that crazy. Check out the website if you don't believe me.
They call it a stadium bar and for good reason. This place is HUGE! 23,000 square feet huge! Fits 800 people easy. It looks like a bloody stadium! There are insane amounts of large T.V.s going on in here, well over 50, they even have em in the bathrooms, and a huuuuge sports ticker that circles the entire stadium. It makes the ticker outside the TSX look like crap. Walking in I was astonished. There are pool tables, bowling, Foosball, a huge bar, AND A GOLF FUCKING SIMULATOR! TWO OF THEM. WTF?
The food here is actually very good considering it's a sports bar. Much better than you would get at your typical sports bar. They have this thing that is called a Beertender and its basically a giant clear keg, get it it will ensure a good time. The servers are friendly, helpful, attentive, and gorgeous. The only thing odd about this place is the amount of women that consistently pack this place. Being a sports bar it's rare to see a 3:1 girl:guy ratio.
Overall, this has got to be the best sports bar in Ontario hands down and even the best in Canada. I've never seen anything like it. Prices are good, beer is plenty, food is good, and the experience is something else. Come here for the game.
Check the website and you will see what I'm talking about. It's fucking crazy. The music on the site is pretty bomb too. -

Went to WEGZ to watch a Leafs game. Great vibe and lots of TV screens everywhere.
The food however was absolutely terrible. We ordered poutine and wings. The fries in the poutine were cold. Not just cold, ice cold. It's as if the fries were cooked a day before, frozen again, then barely thawed and reheated. The cheese on the poutine wasn't even close to melting. The only thing that was warm about the poutine was the chili that was slathered on top. The wings weren't much better. This must've been the smallest 1 lb of wings I've ever seen in my life. The wings aren't particularly large and I counted 7 wings. I asked the waitress how many wings a pound usually has and she said 8-10. I pointed out how there are 7 nor are they particularly large so unless they're just super dense wings... At $13 for "a pound" of wings was ridiculous considering they weren't even very good. Don't get me wrong. I'm willing to pay $13 for wings if they're good but this definitely did not live up to its price tag.
In terms of service, our waitress was friendly enough. Perhaps she got too friendly cause as she walked by, she had me hold on to some dirty dishes for her as she delivered the food she was carrying in her other hand. Didn't realize I was part of the staff now!
All in all, I'd go to watch a game or grab a drink but never again will I eat there. -

Went here for a friends birthday. Great atmosphere OMG! So impressive. Hot waitresses. The downfall here was the food. It wasn't what I expected being in what seemed like such a big production of a restaurant. But the fun times and the atmosphere made up for it.
Randomly we met one of the guys from B4-4 there. The girls I was with recognized him. Should I feel bad that I was the only person not bugging him for a picture and autograph? His girlfriend was cute though. Haha
