For the first time since 2016, playoff baseball beyond the wild card round is coming to Toronto — and the pre-game party is going to be rocking across the street from the stadium.
Steam Whistle Brewing, home to the historic Roundhouse on Bremner Boulevard, is transforming into Toronto’s playoff hub with tailgate parties before every home playoff game, and for the first time, watch parties inside “The Bird’s Nest” so fans without tickets can still join the action. It kicks off with the first game of the Division Series on Saturday.
“The best seats may be in the ballpark, but this October the second-best place to cheer on the game is just outside the gates — at Steam Whistle and in Roundhouse Park,” says Greg Taylor, Co-Founder and CEO of Steam Whistle Brewing. “A beer and a burger to go, the game on a big screen and legal cheers in the park, Steam Whistle is Toronto’s playoff hub, with or without a ticket.”
Yes, you heard that right: It is perfectly OK to get a beer to go from Steam Whistle and enjoy it in Roundhouse Park. Combine that with playoff vibes and you have the makings of a good time.
The Steam Whistle tailgate party starts three hours before the first pitch. Free and open to all, the tailgate offers fans a fun, family-friendly event to get ready to cheer on the home team. Thousands of fans filtered through the Roundhouse ahead of home games throughout the regular season, and Steam Whistle is excited to celebrate the return of playoff baseball to Toronto.
The tailgate party features a full bar and food menu, including ballpark staples like hot dogs, burgers, chips and peanuts with vegan options available. Of course, you can also enjoy an ice-cold Steam Whistle pilsner, on tap or in cans to go.
The pre-game tailgate party is hosted and presented by Steam Whistle Brewing. To learn more, please visit steamwhistle.ca, or follow Steam Whistle on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.
