Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Mississauga

"Run by one of the city’s most prolific hotel groups, The Drake Hotel restaurant is one of the few hotel spots that boasts major culinary clout. Pre-pandemic, the property regularly hosted 86’ed Mondays, a monthly industry night founded by hospitality legend Ivy Knight that brought together local chefs for friendly, themed cooking competitions that the public could attend. While events are off the table for the moment, the hotel’s rooftop dining area (named one of the best in the world by Condé Nast Traveler) is still worth a visit to try one of the city’s top burgers and sip on a spritz while taking in the skyline views."

"Enjoy the most perfect aesthetic and dreamiest vibes on this rooftop patio at The Drake Hotel. This spot is the best places for after work drinks and snacks, plus there’s always amazing music, too!"

"Lavelle’s got a pretty sweet rooftop patio if you’re feeling swanky. The restaurant sits 16 storeys high with a lounge bar, cabanas, and a massive outdoor pool. Their cocktails are great and the sushi is pretty dang good."

"Since 2016, this Queens Quay restaurant has impressed with its aburi sushi — lightly torched morsels of fresh, creamy, and visually stunning slice of the season’s freshest catch on a bed of rice. Miku is offering a range of takeout and delivery options including delivery via the usual third-party apps as well as meal kits. View this post on Instagram"

"For some of the most delicious and delicately artful sushi you’ve ever had, head to Miku on Bay St. Don’t forget to ask for their extensive sake list — their knowledgeable staff will help you pair exquisite sake with your entrée choices. This place is truly a magical, dining experience."

"Located inside the always scenic Distillery Distinct, El Catrin’s large patio always feels like its hosting a party, though one that’s completely family friendly. The menu consists of both traditional and modern Mexican food, with the tacos having won a few awards. In addition to high chairs, El Catrin also offers a special menu for “little amigos."

"This Distillery District restaurant specializing in Latin American cuisine has a reputation for its all-season patio complete with 25 heaters and a giant fire pit."

"They currently have a location each at Etobicoke and Mississauga. They’re available for takeout and delivery on all major delivery platforms."

"Boasting a multitude of flat screen TVs with surround sound, this spot in the exciting downtown hub of Queen Street West feels more like being in an arena. The food and drink is way better, though."

"Elmwood Spa is perfect for those who are seeking stress relief and relaxation in a peaceful atmosphere. Whether reconnecting with friends, celebrating a milestone, or for personal stress relief and self-renewal, Elmwood Spa is the ideal place to visit. The spa offers a warm, welcoming feel and provides attentive service that allows clients to feel special the moment they walk into the spa."

"Modern urban life can be stressful, and every now and then we need to escape the demands of work, family, or social obligations and unwind. Fortunately, you don’t need to go far to get some much needed nurturing and renewal. Visit Elmwood Spa, a peaceful oasis located in a refined historic building in downtown Toronto."

"Enter through what appears to be a church gift shop to get at the Neapolitan-style pizzas and cocktails hidden inside Toronto’s hottest new bar in Leslieville."

"I originally stumbled upon Sweet Olenka’s as I was walking down Queen Street West one summer afternoon. Although Sweet Olenka’s isn’t 100% vegan, they had a great selection of vegan ice cream. Nowadays, they no longer have their Queen West location, but you can visit them in Etobicoke."

"The beach is located on the southern shore of Toronto Island Park, in an area also known as “Manitou Beach”. Centre Island Beach has very calm, shallow, and slightly warm waters because the rock breakwater was built to provide a barrier from the open lake. This beach is an ideal place for the entire family to go for a walk, swim, relax, picnic, and enjoy the scenery."

"You have to take a ferry to get to Centre Island, but it’s a mere 15-minute boat ride from downtown making it a great and close escape. Despite being close to the city, Centre Island feels like it’s a world away and brings all the beach vibes with it."

"*NOTE: Centreville Amusement Park and Far Enough Farm are closed in summer 2020. A day on Centre Island is a must for your summer bucket list. The beach is small but clean, with shallow water and a sandy floor—perfect for young children."

"Nestled between the stunning Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion and the serene Humber River, Sunnyside beach is famous for paddling, canoeing, kayaking, and sunbathing. One of the largest public pools of the city, known as Gus Ryder Pool, can be found at this beach along with the famous Sunnyside Café that offers a panoramic view around and a vast lakefront patio.

"Located between the Humber River and Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion, this long, narrow beach has been a city-wide destination since the 1890s. Sunnyside is protected by an offshore break wall which helps control erosion and provides calm water for rowers and paddlers.It has an amazing boardwalk and waterfront trail and sunrise and sunset at Sunnyside are magical."

"Check the water report before you decide to swim at Sunnyside (it can be iffy at times), but if you want a sparse area to spread out, this may be the beach for you. Sunnyside doesn’t get as packed as other beaches in the area and is great for reading a book, listening to the water, or taking a beach nap."
