Patios in Toronto for cheap drinks are must-visits throughout the warmer months. Whether you need to unwind after work or find a place to hang out with friends on the weekend, these patios will keep your thirst quenched without breaking the bank.

Here are my picks for the top patios for cheap drinks in Toronto.

Java House

This corner patio on Queen West is where to go for pitchers for as low as $11.50 and food that is equally inexpensive. Try their all-day breakfast pancakes and beer. It's the new wine and cheese.

This Church St. patio has domestic bottles starting at $5.50 in addition to other well-priced specials. One of the best might just be their $5 mimosa special that's available daily from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

This back patio is a bit of a hidden gem on a busy stretch on Queen West. It's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and the $4.50 bottles of domestic beer don't hurt, either.

The low-key sidewalk patio on College near Kensington Market is great for more than just Middle Eastern eats. Drinks won't set you back a ton, especially if you order up their daily microbrewery special for $6.
