Hands down best patio downtown Toronto.
The wait for a seat is long but you can usually wait inside and they will come and get you when a patio seat is available.
My advice - always order 2 drinks. Staff is always busy and I find it takes a while for them to come around again.

Smart advice for the Black Bull patio - ordering drinks in pairs. But I have to tell you, it has nothing to do with them being busy, and everything to do with a lack of hustle. Wait staff are often seen standing around socializing when they should be out there hustling drinks. They're lucky I'm not the manager of that place - most of them would be out a job in a heartbeat. With the right staff sales on that patio can double, easily.
That said... this has to be one of my all-time fave patios, especially on a Friday afternoon. Get their early and there's prime patio real estate available. Food is ok. Nothing to write home about, but after a few ales it does the job.

great patio - catches the sun after work for a couple of pints
I really wish I could like the Black Bull, but I can just never find a seat on their GIANT Patio. Always thought that was a little strange! hahahha

Now THAT is what I call a patio.
Get there early. Seating on the patio disappears quite early. On Fridays it's almost impossible to get a seat after 6.
Standard pub fare, nothing that stands out.
It's a great stop if you're doing a Queen Street patio crawl.

....is hard to do. Get there early or be forced to wonder how one of the largest streetside patios in the t-dot can not acommodate you and your crew.
I love this Patio too, but it is a shame that there are never any seats...but its totally wicked when you find that one...:)
one of my favourite patios in toronto. a great 3 pm cocktail stop in between a shopping excursions. i miss living in the area :(
