The top patios on Queen West will have you mixing and mingling in the heart of downtown Toronto. Whether you're looking for a laid back sidewalk spot to split a pitcher with friends or a rooftop nightclub to sip a martini, Queen West has got you covered.
Here, in no particular order, are my picks for the the top patios on Queen West.

Rock Lobster
Rock Lobster has got the Canadiana theme locked down with their back patio. Featuring not-so-subtle homages to our country (like a giant image of a beaver) this is the best place to embrace your national pride while you enjoy some lobster and lager.
Black Bull
Black Bull is a Queen West old and faithful. The expansive sidewalk space offers a prime view of Queen West and is accented with branded umbrellas and a large but friendly crowd.
The Rivoli
The Rivoli may not have to most exquisite looking patio, but it's a favourite of many. With no-frills decor and decent sun exposure, it makes for a great summer alternative to the dimly lit indoor space.
Cube Nightclub
If nightclubs are your scene, this rooftop offers an outdoor alternative that ticks all the right boxes. The space is complete with plush outdoor sofas, upscale decor and its own bar. You can mix, mingle and sip your cocktails in style with a stellar view of the skyline.
Bovine Sex Club
Looking to escape the city? Head to back patio at the Bovine Sex Club for a tiki-themed retreat. With colourful masks, accents of straw, and, of course, its own tiki bar, this patio will have you living the island life without even leaving the GTA.
Beverley Hotel
The rooftop at The Beverley offers a chic retreat from the tourist-clad streets of downtown Toronto. The lounge seating, spa-worthy decor, and impressive view make it a warm weather favourite.
Java House
This sidewalk patio is the ultimate kick back space and is extremely popular with locals. Featuring plastic furniture and friendly staff, this low key spot is great for a cheap pint and some sun.
Queen St. Warehouse
The second Warehouse location in the city sports a laid back sidewalk patio that runs along the side of the building. The budget friendly food menu (everything is $4.95!) and more than enough drink options are bonuses.
Peter Pan
If you're looking to dine outside in style, look no further than Peter Pan. Offering a menu filled with everything from duck ravioli to fried chicken, this picturesque outdoor eatery makes for the perfect spot when the sun comes out.
Queen Mother
Tucked away from the busy streets of Queen West, this mid-sized back patio offers a retreat from chaotic sidewalk out front. Featuring a healthy dose of greenery, lanterns, and the occasional umbrella for shade, this patio makes for the perfect outdoor escape.
