Champions on Bloor

What is Champions on Bloor? Located at 696 Bloor Street West right by Christie station, Champions on Bloor is an unpretentious off-track betting teletheatre and casual sports lounge licensed through Woodbine Entertainment. The interior is purely utilitarian and dedicated to live track action, outfitted with banks of simulcast television screens, basic bar counter seating, and utilitarian wagering tables. It serves as an enduring fixture for thoroughbred racing followers and Annex locals who appreciate an old-school betting parlor vibe.

Champions on Bloor Menu & What to Order The counter service focuses on straightforward drinking staples, pouring value-minded domestic draught pints, tall cans, classic Canadian Caesars, and rail mixed drinks. Food offerings are kept simple with traditional salty bar snacks, crisps, and quick pub bites meant to accompany a round of betting slips. The top pick here is an ice-cold local lager paired with trackside simulcasts, making it a reliable pre-dinner stop before exploring the surrounding Koreatown food corridor.

Know Before You Go Seating is exclusively first-come, first-served with no reservations accepted, and wagering terminals operate primarily on cash. Bloor Street parking is difficult to secure, so taking the Line 2 subway to Christie Station—just steps from the front door—is the easiest route. The venue is open seven days a week from 11:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., drawing its liveliest crowds during weekend race cards, the King's Plate, and major Triple Crown events.
