This sizable restaurant serves up craft beer, casual comfort food and good times at the corner of East Liberty Street and Hanna Avenue. Young professionals crowd around the picnic tables on the 90-seat patio during warm summer nights to enjoy burgers and brews under the decorative string lights. After your meal, challenge your dinner companions to a spirited game of bocce ball at the onsite court.
With numerous patios to move between, this Irish pub is a favourite among locals and those who work nearby. There’s ample space on the lower level for a post-work pint and two additional upper level seating areas to accommodate the crowds that arrive following TFC matches. Visit on Thursdays for live music, and check out the food and drink specials throughout the week.
Housed inside a former carpet factory, the intimate front and courtyard patios at this lovely Italian bistro provide an idyllic ambiance for amorous dinner companions. The beautiful setting features gauzy white drapes, a stone fountain and ivy covered brick walls that provide the perfect backdrop for authentic pasta plates and meaty entrees. The romantic restaurant hosts weddings and private events throughout the summer, so call ahead to book a table.
Offering the perfect spot for people watching, this rooftop patio is a popular one among the after work crowd. It’s spacious, with a great view, and they do a good job of keeping the mood high with upbeat music throughout the night. The menu features a typical selection of burgers, pizzas and entrees, and the bar offers 16 beers on tap and 34 wines by the glass.
Whether you’re coming here for brunch or for dinner, the small sidewalk patio at Mildred’s is in high demand. With a beautiful garden lining the outside of the patio, and large umbrellas offering just the right amount of shade, you’ll be lucky to snag a table at this coveted locale. If you manage to score a seat, order yourself a stack of congratulatory blueberry pancakes as a reward.
This popular daytime hotspot has an airy feel inside thanks to its high ceilings and oversized garage door windows, but the perfect escape in warmer months is the secluded patio (which, admittedly, isn’t so secluded during the popular weekend brunch). Tucked away out back, the courtyard seating area offers leafy green bushes and umbrellas for shade. The food menu features an enticing array of sweet and savoury brunch dishes, fresh baked pastries, salads and sandwiches.
