Just a few blocks from Scotiabank Arena, The Rodgers Centre and local theatres The Porch is the perfect afternoon destination no matter where you want to go.
What is it known for? – More than other rooftop bars in Toronto, The Porch is known for its steallar view of the CN Tower, which makes the perfect backdrop for instagrams.
What cocktail should you try? – Almost as classic as getting a photo with the CN Tower is getting one of the sand bucket cocktails, so be sure to try one out on your next trip.
Where is it? – Located on the rooftop of The Drake Hotel, Sky Yard is right in downtown Toronto on Queen St W. Get some shopping done before you head up for a spectacular cocktail.

Where is it? – Mascot Brewery moved last year to an even better location, right in downtown Toronto. Soon patio lovers will be able to find this rooftop party on King St.
