Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Pickering

"Fitting right into its location in the vibrant Queen Street West neighborhood, The Drake, which opened in 2004, has become a hub of Toronto art, design, and food. You’ll feel the energy the moment you walk into the former apartment building, where original granite floors, exposed brick, and other historical touches live alongside vivid murals, green leather seating, vintage stereos, and pieces from a rotating art collection. There's always something happening here, from DJs on the rooftop to live bands at Drake Underground, the hotel's performance space."

"This is a popular name when it comes to best lounges in Toronto. All the hype is in fact worth it!. The Drake Underground is a multi-faceted performance venue with incredible sound system."

"A global menu is served at this sexy rooftop restobar on King West where you can see the skyline for days."

"Goldie is perfectly situated in the heart of Toronto’s bustling King West Strip, nestled in an inconspicuous townhouse with over a hundred years of history. The playful cocktail club/restaurant has done an amazing job at creating a distinct and memorable signature atmosphere that separates it from the masses of Toronto’s many night clubs and is the perfect place to bring a hot date or to order bottle service and club the night away. The downstairs bar and floor feature sit down tables and booths where patrons can order delicious tapas earlier in the evening and transforms into more of a club vibe later on in the night."

"Grapefruit Moon is certainly a prime University of Toronto spot, which means that the tables get as cluttered by textbooks as they do by food. This restaurant supplies its customers with ample laid-back comfort food. Their all-day breakfast that will have carnivores and vegans alike coming back for more."

"The Grapefruit Moon’s fun and unique brunch menu rewards the adventurous. Try the Bike Rider’s Special, Big Bang Breakfast, or a Morning Glory breakfast burger. The morning poutine with cheese, caramelized onions, breakfast gravy, and a fried egg is inviting."

"The establishment has been serving simple, but good food for more than a hundred years now. Although it’s no longer in its original location, this spot at Lawrence and Bathurst is cute in the way most people find old couples cute; there’s just something endearing about it. The coffee never runs dry, and when you do decide to leave, make sure to stop by the front counter to bring a pastry or two home."

"Don’t let the big neon sign out front fool you, this old school diner has had a modern revamp in recent years. Located in the Parkdale neighbourhood, this retro spot serves typical comfort food with a few fancier options and a menu that changes daily. When: Monday to Friday, 11 am to 2 am; Saturday to Sunday, 10 am to 2 amWhere: 1426 Queen Street West, Toronto"

"Parkdale lunch counter turned all-day comfort food destination, established 1963. Maggie Ruhl, co-owner: I’ve been coming here ever since I moved to Parkdale. My brother and I had separate places – I opened the Dakota Tavern and the Ace, and he has the Three Speed and the Wallflower – but never together."

"The Stillwater spa provides 10,000 square feet and 17 treatment rooms to relax as many people as possible in the Annex area of Toronto. As you wait for your treatment, you will be led to the heated locker room where you will disrobe into the traditional terry cloth. Your white bathrobe will match well in the white lounge area where you can sip on tea and munch biscotti while you wonder why you don't do this more often."

"The first of its kind in Eastern Canada, this incredibly popular 10-year-old spa offers traditional Turkish baths. Lose yourself in the dreamy ritual, which involves relaxing in a steam room filled with both cool and hot air, followed by a bath on a 108 degree marble table. It's said to "resonate deeply with mind, body and spirit."

"Located in the trendy King West area, Hammam Spa is based on the traditional Turkish baths that can be found throughout Europe and the Middle East. Demonstrating a high level of commitment and dedication to its clients, Hammam Spa offers a full service co-ed spa. Services include manicures, pedicures, and various spa treatments."

"The Swan, one of Toronto’s most famous diners, occupied the same space on Queen Street West for more than 20 years. Now Le Swan has taken over to serve French bistro food alongside diner classics - think charcuterie followed by a tuna melt and steak frites with a side of grilled cheese. The menu here includes both dishes that you’d find in a Grey Poupon commercial and food that feels sort of like time travel, which makes it a little different than just about anywhere else in the city."

"Everyone’s curious about the new incarnation of Swan on West Queen West which is Jen Agg’s latest project, a so-called French diner that does rotisserie chicken and late night fondue."

"The newly opened Maison Selby at Bloor and Sherbourne is an Instagrammer’s dream – from the front bar area and each dining area, to the secret speakeasy downstairs, no detail is left unattended. Stop by for brunch if you want to get some of that great morning light, or come by to enjoy the bar scene with some friends (and try to snag a seat at the speakeasy downstairs, ask your bartender about it)."
