There are hundreds of great bars in SF. Just walk 10 feet and you'll be in one.

That's a tough question. There are football bars, soccer bars, not really baketball bars. I guess you just want a decent sports bar then... how about Giordano Bros. in North Beach? North Beach is a great SF neighborhood, not far from Union Square, which is where I think the Nikko is?

Not sure there are any Canada or Toronto bars specifically or wouldn't even know where to go. What kind of bars are you looking into?

Take a cab and go to Lucky Strike......they have a screen for the games that is an entire huge wall.....it's cool and then you can bowl after. Caught a game there once and it was a lot of fun

When my cousins from Toronto searched for a bar that had Canadian teams it was Greens in North Beach a great area to go for dinner anyways.

Hmm you must mean Grant and Green? Greens is a great restaurant (and strictly vegetarian), but I haven't noticed a TV there during the times I've been.

There are no NBA bars, no Canada bars in SF. Just want to find a good sports bar.

The Taco Shop at Underdogs is a haul but it combines a good bar, sports, and amazing (though non-traditional) tacos. If you also want to check out Golden Gate Park, this is a good option.

The bar is the Greens sports bar on Green and Polk so not North Beach.
Hockey Haven is a very Canadian bar but it is a long bus ride away on Balboa.

Hotel Nikko is in J-Town and pretty close to everything.

Nikko is at Union Square.

You can walk in any direction from there and find a decent sports bar. I would walk/or streetcar it over to near ATT&T park and pick out one of the sports bars over there. It's not baseball season so they'll have the basketball game on.

If you want to cab or bus it to a different neighborhood:

I like the Phoenix on Valencia street in the mission. It's an "irish" pub... (not really but decent food and screens everywhere)
or
the Kezar Club on Stanyan. It's kind of an Irish/soccer themed sports bar but it will have the Warriors game on as well.
decent pub food too.
