With summer in full swing, scoring a spot on your fave patio is getting trickier by the day. 

Everyone's out to soak up the sun and enjoy a drink with friends, which means wait times for those coveted outdoor tables are high.

Some spots across the city are even seeing wait times stretch into hours! After all, few things beat a cold drink in the warm weather, chatting, and laughing among friends.

Waiting for a table to open up at your favourite bar is the only downside of patio season in Toronto. Or at least, it used to be a downside. 

A new waiting experience?

For the first two weekends in August, SOL cerveza is innovating and improving the way you experience patios with the SOL Patio+ pop-up experience.

With SOL Patio+, guests heading to select Toronto bars can get the good times rolling while they wait for their table at their original patio of choice. 

Here's how it works

When you arrive at a full patio, you’ll be placed on a waitlist and receive a ticket for a nearby outdoor SOL Patio+.

These residential spaces have been transformed into a summer oasis where you can enjoy complimentary SOL cerveza while relaxing in the summer sun until your table is ready. Yes, we just said complimentary SOL cerveza! 

Gear up for the patio, with a second patio. Does twice the patio mean twice the enjoyment? You can be the judge of that. 

Where to find SOL Patio+

SOL Patio+ will have pop-ups at King West's The Wheatsheaf Tavern and Ossington's The Painted Lady, which are best enjoyed for their bustling patios, shareable snacks, and summer sips.

With summer months limited, time in the sun shouldn’t be taken for granted! So whether you're in the mood for a casual hangout or an impromptu celebration, you won't want to miss a moment of fun at these locations.

Transform wait times into memorable patio experiences over the first two weekends in August at a SOL Patio+ near you. Simply prepare for good drinks and even greater memories, and as always, drink responsibly.
