The Best Patios in Toronto

Looking for the best patio in Toronto to swig back a cold gin and tonic? We've got you covered with a list of spots that are guaranteed oases within the chaotic metropolis we call our beloved city.

When you live in a city that is accustomed to long cold winters -- where the suns set at 4 pm and 0 degrees Celsius days are considered “mild ones” -- summer is a precious commodity. With only three short months to make it count, we are obligated to take advantage of any excuse to get outside. With what better excuse being to enjoy a cold drink on a patio. From swanky rooftops to hidden gardens, check out these impressive spots that are guaranteed to make you lose track of time.

245 Queens Quay W

Amsterdam Brewhouse

Amsterdam Brewhouse

With three patios under its belt, Amsterdam Brewhouse is a top choice for a good time. You can see some great views of Toronto and the lake, all while trying their many brews on tap. It's also near the Rogers Centre and Scotiabank Arena so it is an ideal pre- and post-game destination.

220 King St W

Mascot Brewery

Mascot Brewery

After losing out on their rooftop patio to a new condo development in 2018, Mascot Brewery returned last summer to the delight of Torontonians. Now located in El Caballito's old space on King West, Mascot Brewery has kept the patio space that has always been a great spot for both after work and weekend drinks. Grab some Mascot brews and enjoy the relaxed vibes.

1164 Yonge St

The Rosedale Diner

The Rosedale Diner

This spot serving Middle Eastern fare alongside other Canadian dishes has been around for years and remains a local favourite in the Rosedale neighbourhood. One of the charms to Rosedale Diner is their backyard patio which is unassuming yet inviting. It's easy to lose track of time here when you're enjoying good food with good company.

841 Bloor St W

Paradise Grapevine

Paradise Grapevine

Paradise Grapevine took over the old Bloorcourt haunt Menalon (they kept the old sign) but has quickly become a favourite in the neighbourhood with it's whimsical grapevine studded patio. They serve an extensive wine and beer selection and also have shared small plates available for nibbling.

2125 Dundas St W

Bandit Brewery

Bandit Brewery

A former auto-shop turned brewery, this craft taproom and patio is Roncesvalles' go-to destination for patio beers. With trees adorned in twinkly lights, picnic benches and lush greenery -- the patio transports patrons to the sprawling beer gardens of Berlin.

124 Ossington Ave

Bellwoods Brewery

Bellwoods Brewery

The Ossington strip is full of delights and Bellwoods Brewery is one of the beloved mainstays in the neighbourhood. The spot is always bustling with people buying bottles from the bottle shop or stopping by for some food and drinks in the restaurant. The patio is also open all year long (they provide toasty heaters during the winter) so it's the perfect place to spend some time on the weekend with friends and family.
