Best patio in the city?

[TopChed]

I was making some plans with a friend this week, and we were thinking about where best to enjoy a cold brew in the hot sun.

I'm sure there's a ton of bars with patios in Calgary that I haven't yet visited, or even heard of, so what is your favourite?

Molly Malones - view of the river and downtown?

If you are out in Mckenzie Towne the Brewster roof top patio is fantastic. I guess that isn't the city really though...

I've probably been to Molly Malones 20 times in my life and I've never been on the patio...gotta check that out.

Melrose - view of females walking up and down the street?

Same for me. I'll definitely be there soon

in about a weeks time, it might very well be 'west', the new bar in scotia centre with a 600 person rooftop patio.

For lunch Bonterra's patio is pretty cool.

1410... great Mussels and beers

I'm partial to the Limerick's Upstairs patio.

Molly Malones is a must.

the Yardhouse on 17th.

Ship and Anchor is a good people watching spot.

i hope you got paid for that

Ceile's rooftop patio..... Oh wait, they destroyed that to build..... nothing, a plus 15.

[Komskies]

Better go by tomorrow, or else wait until Saturday. Thursday and Friday forecasts call for mixed precipitation.

a few of my buddies are managers over there. if it's like any other place they've worked, my $200 tab gets cut down to $50, everytime.

Based on where it is, I'd expect it to be an upper-end type place. Some may even call it a Resto-Lounge Patio...which means it'll be overpriced but on the flip side it'll likely have lots of cougars!

Resto-Lounge is probably one of the most annoying names for a place as well...seriously.

Raw Bar is different - you can sit around a pool at Hotel Arts.
