Incredible patio to relax, eat & be merry

They have one of the best patios in the city! Love the food too, very affordable and huge drink selection. Gets very busy, especially during dinner and on sunny days.

Great food and drinks at decent value

A Yorkville staple, it can get rocking on the weekends (upstairs), but is also great for appetizers after work. Try the sweet potato fries, but maybe not the deep-fried shrimp. Reasonably priced for Yorkville

Perfect for after work

Depending on where you work of course this place seems to be a favorite of Yorkville residents. Its not the best place for dining but certainly one of the best for social drinks. Hemmy's has 4 floors all which have patios that can be covered and heated in the winter. During the summer they have this misting system to cool patrons off without soaking everyone. It usually takes a while to get a drink as its always jam packed but has such a great atmosphere its always worth it!

Laid back, easy going attitude reigns at Yorkville's dive. Its mainstay is its rooftop patio home to lots o' beer, sticky floors, plastic patio chairs. With no room to move around the bar, mingle your way around big buck business crowd and down to earth celebs without the pretension. Colin Farrell sightings have been known. In the winter, warm up in dim lighting and what looks like 80s cabin... more

Hemingway's rooftop patio (heated in the winter, and cool misted in the summer) is a popular Yorkville spot to meet for drinks after work. The restaurant downstairs also offers upscale bar fair at decent prices and generous portions.

I would give 4/5 based on the fact that they had an awesome misting system that helped on a very hot day.

Drink prices were average.

My friend had the pad Thai which was great. I had the special (catfish) which was average. Service was 4/5.

I come here a lot. It's the most casual, chill and reasonably priced place in Yorkville. The drinks are reasonable and good. The menu is diverse and very good quality. The service is usually very good, but it gets packed so sometimes it's hard to get someone's attention. Very good value for prices. It's definitely one of my favourite spots.

Good place for a cold beer on a hot day
March 21, 2012

A nice and friendly place to get an affordable meal. The salads were great, interesting and filling. Lots of choice if you like a cold beer on a hot day. This is a pub so casual is the dress code. This is a trendy gathering place in the evening in downtown Toronto

Decent spot for a beer and a meal

Generally friendly service, decent food, cold beer. Average value for money. Can easily do worse in Yorkville!

Hemmingway's- a summer favourite in the heart of the city.
December 12, 2007

The stars are not working well- I would give it a four/5. Great drinks, a nice airy atmosphere,an excellent curry- if ya'll can take the heat! NOT pretentious, considering where it is located...great for people watching! It is a true mixing pot of dress and casual attire...any day of the week. Good brunch spot too!

Down to earth patio in a not so down to earth area
June 25, 2007

Hemingway's has an amazing rooftop patio situated in the heart of Yorkville. Surprisingly, the beers are cheap (great draft choices) and the staff is friendly. No Yorkville airs here! From what I've seen/tasted of the food its nothing to brag about, but if you're looking for a hidden patio around the Bloor Street area, you should definetly try this one out. Also, my boyfriend's brother and... more

Hemingway's Restaurant: rooftop patio
June 18, 2006

ok, I didn't have food, but we did have pints on the rooftop patio. Very nice up there, and they even have a mister to cool you off on humid days. The food looked very good, and the staff was extra friendly. Hotsauce even scored me a free kiwi t shirt :)
Thaks Hots!

Favorite Dish: Guinness!

Hemingway's Restaurant: Odd little place
November 02, 2005

This place has 3 levels (get ready to climb some stairs). Second one has a large balcony with heaters (that they can't seem to turn down...only on or off, much to my group's chagrin). Third floor is another balcony (BTW, waitresses up there had lilty Irish accents...ahhhh) that has good temp.

Thing is, it's located in Yorkville, but it's more like a pub you'd find in the burbs. Not that I... more

Hemingways has established itself as the famous hot spot and rooftop patio to enjoy drinks and good company any night of the week. It is a conscious effort on the part of the owners to bring a little bit of New Zealand to Toronto. Hemingways is the place where you'll find Hollywood's elite gathered while in town. The multi-level establishment houses three bars serving up a selection of beers... more

Tucked away in the heart of Toronto's Yorkville neighbourhood is this double-decker, roof-top patio (heated in winter and misted in summer). The popular patio and bar is a great place to meet for a night on the town or a drink after work with friends.
