You liked 4 Play? Although a MAMMOTH screen, they would kill the power to their projector without letting it cool off daily. After their first month of operation the entire next 2 years was spent with the entire centre image being green. Barely watchable for football, let alone watching hockey with green ice. Changing bulbs didn't help. Utterly destroyed a $25,000.00+ projector. It's no wonder they closed. That projector should have been their bread & butter.
Located directly across the street, the Met offers a massive upgrade to anyone wanting a big screen experience. No cool chairs like 4 PLay, but sitting on the second level allows you to be centre to the screen, in itself an improvement to the 4 Play setup.
Yeah I liked 4 Play. But I did just move here in 2012, living downtown and not knowing anywhere else to go. It was the biggest screen (which was horrible quality), great seating and wasn't busy (which I found strange but I understand now. There was at most 5-8 people there for the NJ-LA Stanley Cup Finals). And it was always warm in there no matter the season. But once I found my way around the city, I found places with better atmosphere.
As for Shark Club, I have only been there once but I enjoyed it. The wings were good, the service was great, and the crowd was exciting. Sitting on the top deck overlooking the large screen was the best. The only downside is that as soon as the game was over, they removed a lot of seating to change it into a Club.
Luxalune is fun because of all of the beer choices. They do Beer Flights with samples, but it is the bartenders choice of which ones. The food is also good, but I've only been there 2 times this year.
