Sip on the Buzzer Beater (vodka, Kahlua, coffee cream, Modus coffee nitro pour) or Taste of Victory (lager, orange juice, grenadine, Tequila).

The idea for the basketball-bar concept came from a deep love for the game.

“Sure, hockey rules most households here, but not ours. We’ve had this passion since we were kids, and it never wavered,” the website reads.

“When we walk through a tall doorway, we jump and touch it. When we throw a can in the recycling, we say ‘Kobe’…We still have Grizzlies gear. When the Raptors made their run to the title, nothing filled our hearts more than having the whole country cheer alongside us. There was room on the bandwagon for everyone.”
