leobell.co Score on Davie (1262 Davie)
Don't let the best sports bar win fool you. Yes, it is a great place to watch the game with plenty of screens and promotions. But the (sometimes overly) friendly staff really love their jobs and also make Score a fun place to hang out with friends or take a Tinder date.
