Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Oshawa

"While not associated with the Toronto-born rapper of the same name, the Drake Hotel’s nightlife offerings are no less hip or happening. This boutique hotel is a hub for local events including concerts, DJs and multimedia art. The Drake’s basement venue, the Underground, hosts a rotating roster of dance parties, touring acts and cultural happenings like slam poetry nights."

"This next spot is definitely one of the most aesthetically pleasing patios on the list. From their exposed brick walls to their bright and airy feel, the spot is super Insta-worthy. Oh, and the food is pretty good too."

"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!"

"With a rooftop patio equipped with three pools and luxurious cabanas, Lavelle perfectly embodies the modish King West neighbourhood it inhabits. From day to night, the impressive restaurant offers an upscale menu that is sure to meet all your brunch, lunch, dinner or snack needs. The meticulous design isn’t even the bar’s best feature: Lavelle is perfectly posed against expansive views of the Toronto skyline."

"Lavelle is for suited and booted EDM lovers|Courtesy of Lavelle. Summer in Toronto is fleeting, so residents make the most of the weather by spending every possible second outdoors. Swanky Lavelle is at the top of the rooftop pecking order."

"Miku pioneered aburi-style sushi in Canada — which, for the uninitiated, translates to 'flame-seared'. In practice, this means the fish is cooked over fire to create new textures and enhance flavour, searing it over binchotan (Japanese bamboo charcoal). The restaurant also has a signature secret sauce, known only by a handful of its chefs."

"Miku’s Mother’s Day feature for two includes a pan-seared Roast Beef, as well as its signature Aburi Sushi. And for dessert a delicous Matcha Yuzu Eclair. It is now available for pre-order for pick-up May 7 to 9."

"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."

"With a 5,000-square-foot patio and stunning and vibrant floor-to-ceiling murals by artist Oscar Flores, El Catrin is the hottest place to be...Read More"

"Undoubtedly, being one of the most gorgeous and well-kept hidden coffee shops, Cafe Pamenar has proven its reputation over time with the feeling of being lost in an oasis of green with wide canopies and vines climbing up the walls. The diversity of drinks from coffee to teas or even beers bar for nightlife as well as many various desserts are also the favorites to the visitors after self-study hours or for the travelers who are finding a cute place to blow off some steams."

"A post shared by you look lost follow me😏 (@tarochipz) on Feb 1, 2017 at 5:49pm PST. This relaxed French bistro on Queen Street is unassuming on the outside and on the inside, the kind of place that could easily be mistaken for any other bar. That would be a mistake because it’s a high-quality restaurant with an open kitchen with excellent beer and wine lists."

"Everyone, and everything looks better in candlelight and La Palette is well aware of this. Not that they are trying to hide anything. The food is high end French without any pretension."

"The twisted wisdom of Yogi Berra’s great line: “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded,” might apply to The Hot House. Reservations are not required but highly recommended if you plan to attend the famous Sunday buffet brunch. The hot table is loaded with plenty of meat, pasta and vegetarian options, plus the weekly chef’s surprise."

"Served every Sunday from 9:30 am, this brunch buffet will satisfy any appetite with an abundance of sweet and savoury selections. $24.95 buys access to carvery stations, omelette bars, salads, baked goods, desserts… the list goes on. Address: 35 Church Street, TorontoPhone: 416-366-7800"

"When it comes to all-you-can-eat brunch, jazz seems to be the music of choice to accompany it for most restaurants. Hot House is no exception with their jazz brunch running every Sunday from 9:30 a.m."

"The name stems from the Chinatown tradition of serving beer in teapots after the last call through the coded order of ‘cold tea.’ Wind through a shuttered mall in Kensington Market and spot the red light – it’ll indicate the hidden entrance to Cold Tea. “This place is the epitome of summer in Toronto,” says Boudreau. Friday and Saturday nights are a ball – an all-night dim sum menu complements tasty cocktails – but the climax is Sunday afternoons when the backyard patio opens up for a daytime dance party."

"Down the hall through Kensington Mall, see that door marked only with a red light?. You’ve arrived at Cold Tea. They’ve got drinks, dumplings, a backyard patio and an air of mystery."

"Enjoy the pink umbrellas in all their cuteness at Sugar Beach. It’s definitely prettier (and warmer lolz) during the spring and summer, but you can come here all year-round if you want to. It would even be cute in the snow and make for some unique shots, if you’re looking for Toronto winter photo spots!"

"Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, you can’t swim at Sugar Beach, but it’s a great spot to spend the day relaxing outside. With pink umbrellas and white wooden chairs, Sugar Beach has a whole vibe that simply screams summertime!"

"A post shared by Nissa Mounichy (@nissavirginie) on Apr 24, 2019 at 3:45pm PDT. This sweet spot is known for its white Muskoka chairs, pink umbrellas, and amazing skyline views. Definitely worthy of an Instagram selfie this spring."

"This tour's first bus leaves from Yonge-Dundas Square and the pass is good for three consecutive days. Stay aboard for the full two-hour tour, or if you're itching to tackle Toronto , hop off at one of the 21 stops, which include many of Toronto's top attractions, such as the CN Tower, the Eaton Centre, Art Gallery of Ontario, Casa Loma and the Royal Ontario Museum. Consult with the guides for optimum planning and when the busses will be stopping at certain locations. Don't miss the boat tour at the Harbourfront, which is included in your ticket."

"The last area of the day is Dudas Square which is like a mini Times Square. Here you’ll find the Eaton Centre, the city’s largest mall and plenty of restaurants. Across from the Eaton Centre there are some restaurants a few storey’s up where you can grab a place on the patio and overlook all of the action in the square."

"To-Ne Sushi is Chinatown’s popular spot for cheap, but delicious, sushi. Rolls average around $8, with a few topping out at around $12.95-$14.95 (these are meant for splurging), but maki and veggie rolls are more around the $4-$6 range. Sushi nigiri goes for about $4-$6 and sashimi for $5-$6, except for the expensive toro, or tuna belly."

"This snug, wood-panelled room near city hall isn’t necessarily all about the splurge – you could throw back a couple of rolls and some gyoza and get out of there for under $30. But if you can, give chef Bruce Bu the opportunity to wow you with the $120 omakase: delicate gold leaf-topped nigiri, dishes like sake-butter clams and gently torched slabs of sesame-drizzled butterfish and white tuna will be your reward. 122 Elizabeth, 416-599-5557, japango.net"

"Affordable, accessible and totally delicious: Japango ticks an awful lot of boxes, which it's done since it first opened all the way back in 2004. Sixteen years later, and this stamp-sized restaurant near City Hall, with dark-wood-panelled counters and a buzzy atmosphere, is a sure-fire winner for lunch or dinner."

"There is the type of people will who eat supermarket sushi, and those people don't go to Japango. Japango is all about freshness and hustles at breakneck speed to get takeout orders in your belly as soon as possible. (Because Netflix waits for no one! Oh, wait, that's exactly what it does.)."

"This bakery has that old-world feel to it and captures that essence of grandma’s kitchen when you step in. Anyone that loves chocolate will love their version of the rugalech, buffalo, and babka with swirls of sweetness infused into fresh bread and flaky danishes."

"Goûter by RA is a pâtisserie, boulangerie, and chocolaterie offering the best traditional classic French delicacies revisited with a modern twist. If you’re a chocolate lover, be sure to try their Chocolate BonBons available in flavours such as Fresh Mint, Passion Fruit and Salted Caramel."
