Best Heated Patios in Toronto

Patio season- the most wonderful time of the year! A time that fills our hearts with joy, but it’s all-too-often short lived. Our harsh Canadian winters tend to bring the patio parties indoors for most of the year. So how about we share with you a way to enjoy a frosty cold one outdoors and without the frostbite?

These six Toronto patios keep the good times running all year long with heating lamps, retractable roofs, and more. We know that these bars will keep you extra toasty with good food, drinks, and friends!
