Sneakers Sports Bar & Grill Uptown

I have been going to Sneakers since I was 19, I’m 35 now, it started out as THE SPORTS BAR, but in recent years has sort of been run down,.
But recently a new owner has taken over, and the food quality has gotten much better, the beer seems better too (maybe they finally cleaned the lines), the waitresses are good as they always have been and i just hope the new owner puts some money into refreshing the inside of the bar, make it more inviting.
If you want a great deal. tues and weds are wing nights and they are great wings. sneakers sauce is my fav
Fridaya nights are half price,½ rack of ribs. and they are fantastic… just as good if not better than rib specialty places
So, if you want a decent place to get a cold beer, i would recommend sneakers, its getting better.

Been coming to Sneakers for a while now. Servers are always attentive, talkative and kind. Nothing can beat a pound of BBQ Sneakers wings. Except Sneakers spin dip in a bread bowl (Oh wait, they took that off the menu. I don’t want to talk about it) My biggest complaint is that I feel this bar could be cleaner — and I wish they could finally find an owner that would stick. I feel like the place has been through a few people, and although it doesn’t stop me from frequenting the bar and craving their wings, a committed owner would only benefit this place that’s survived for so long. Oh Sneakers! My last gripe. The last owner used to have live music on a Saturday night. While I love a good live band, I found it was difficult to have a conversation with my friends, which honestly, when I come to Sneakers, is one of the things I love the most. It’s our «watering hole» so to speak. So. Many things to work on, but in the end, Sneakers holds a special place in my heart.

Sneakers… dude, come on.
I’ve been going to Sneakers for as long as I can remember. My family would come up to play pool, grab wings and walk on home. I have frequented this joint out of pure, honest nostalgia.
But really, they’ve just botched it. Realistically, they’ve botched it years ago, but when you just head up for the booze, there’s not too much reason to be critical.
Pros:
–Beer is beer which = good
–The wings and fries were good. I was impressed!
–Their Saturday night special (mini pitcher, 6 wings and fries for $ 15)
–Got a mini plate of onion chips to make up for the incident below.
Cons:
–Our waitress was attentive, but kept commenting that the later we stay the longer she has to work… Oh, okay…
–I ordered my friend a shot and it was half full when it arrived.
–My friend’s water glass «tasted» funny. We dumped out the water when we noticed her straw had gunk on the bottom, and wiped out a gross layer of crap that was caked onto the bottom of the glass and slowly began dissolving into her drinking water.
–Upon noticing the incident above, it took the owner 45 minutes to visit our table to offer apologies.
Now, even though I’m entitled to my two star rating after one incident like last night, this place is just a constant disappointment. If it wasn’t a stones throw away from my house, I’d never go back. But like I say in the pros, beer is beer, so unless I’m looking to go somewhere on a date, or for good food, I’ll probably go back to drink.

Alright, I’ve debated this review for a long, long time.
I’ve been a ‘regular’ here since I was a little girl. My parents took my bro and I here for dinner on wing night Wednesdays for as long as I can remember. They used to have a magician come in for entertainment and a whole arcade/​sports section for kids. Of course things changed and new management went in and out. I can’t say I love their menu because as the new owners rotate, so does the menu and their price. What stays consistent is their wings and beer.
I’m not going to go hate mode on this resto because I find myself coming back and I don’t want spit in my food :) so here’s my one and only tip; stick to the poutine, wings and beer. Aside from that, I wouldn’t venture out too much into the menu.
The servers are pleasant and the prices are decent. One positive thing I love about Sneakers is that they recently added fries to their wing night. You can get a pound of wings, a beer and fries for under $ 10!
