A cross between a university and biker bar with plenty of Molson to go around. Located pretty much in the heart of Queen West, they have a large summer patio.
The Black Bull is the ideal place to grab a hair-of-the-dog Caesar on a Sunday morning. Located on the corner of Queen and Peter, it’s a low key, roomy patio fit for the whole squad. On a hazy summer day, split some nachos, pizza and wings, and wash it down with a cold pitcher. Just don’t forget to drop a fry or two.
Not just a prime patio space, this Queen West stalwart lays claim as one of the oldest pubs in the city. Founded in 1833 (or perhaps 1838, depending on who you ask), the Black Bull was a popular pit stop for farmers travelling to the city centre from the west. Today, the local landmark attracts long lineups in the summer months thanks to its cheap pub fare and in-demand outdoor seating. The building has undergone numerous renovations over the years but some unique architectural details have been preserved, including the mansard roof and yellow-brick pilasters (flattened pillars) on the exterior.
