Sure.
Drake is nice but overrated imo, we had dinner there for a friend's bday, spent a load of $ then waited (yes waited after spending money in the restaurant part) an hour before going up.
I'd say anything more casual and less dressy is ideal for a patio setting. I mean what's the point of sitting in dress shoes and a collared shirt in the blaring sun having a beer? I mean I don't mind being dressy but I just didn't find the Drake that amazing. (It's just my bias of having a bad experience the first time I went...meh). |

Oasis is full of tourists and 905ers. The service is really awful too.
Toronto has a serious lack of rooftop patios. I have researched this extensively.
Ultra and the drake skyyard are both good picks.
Urban, the restaurant on King, has a really romantic rooftop patio for a nice dinner date.
Hemingways and the Pilot are good for a casual pint and have both covered and uncovered areas.
The Thompson hotel, whenever it opens, is gonna be amaaazing. The park Hyatt in Yorkville is also cozy and has a great view of downtown but the patio is small. |

Bingo.
I'm at Remy's 4-5 times a week lately.
The Pilot in Cumberland is great as well! |

Remy's is so so! I'd say Hemmingway's > The Pilot, but both are nice :)
Queen Mother on Queen West has a sweet hidden patio with lots of greenery :)
a few nice places along Yonge between Wellesley and Bloor as well
and I disagree about lack of patio's - we have tons and tons of them downtown, the problem is that once the weather is nice enough, they're all rammed |

hmmmm I've only ever gone when it was really quiet and had pretty decent service. Must be a whole different place during peak hours |

I didn't mean to knock your experience there, I'm sure sometimes it can be okay. I just live close by so have gone there as a default on occasion and am always disappointed that such a prime rooftop space has such a bad crowd with service that leaves a lot to be desired. But it will always attract visitors to Toronto which pays the bills I guess! |

Rooftop patio + pool is the best combo :) |

Someone else told me this but when I bike by, I can't figure it out. To me it looks like an empty lot with a sales centre. Am I missing something?? |
