Perfect for a night out under the stars

Rated this place:

For those into the electronic/dance music scene, this bar could be your next home away from home. Forming part of the Guvernment/Kool Haus entertainment complex (voted the #8 best club last year by DJMag), this rooftop patio's usual role lies in helping the refugees from the lower levels mellow down and recover from their 5-7 hour dance marathons. However, with a gorgeous view of the Toronto skyline and booked with great local and international DJs, Skybar is rising up the ladder as one of the best rooftop patios in the city. Being part of Guvernment, it is effectively open all day and all night. For large groups, it offers excellent booths that keep you in the middle of the action but still above the crowds, which is great especially after a concert when the place gets packed in the early morning hours. Even if the weather’s not patio-friendly, Skybar makes it work with a marquee that encloses the entire bar to keep patrons comfortable. Even if you're not going to Guvie before, Skybar is great for a night out in itself. The service is excellent and the music is always top quality. With the skyline and its proximity to downtown T.O., Skybar makes for a great intro to the city's nightlife if you got friends coming over from out of town. Just make sure that you got a way of staying in touch if you do decide to dive below into the 22, 000 square foot Guvernment complex, because it's easy to get lost in that party monster.
