Outdoor spots are highly coveted on sunny days, and to reduce the scramble and help more people soak up the sun and enjoy the fresh air, Sol devised the SOL Patio+ pop-up.
With SOL Patio+, guests heading to select Toronto bars can enjoy a comfortable place to relax while they wait for a space at their original patio of choice. Although arriving at a full patio can be disappointing, this pop-up helps to make the wait worthwhile by placing parties on a waitlist and providing them with a ticket to a nearby outdoor SOL Patio+.
In Toronto, SOL Patio+ has pop-ups at King West's The Wheatsheaf Tavern and Ossington's The Painted Lady, helping more locals and visitors enjoy good drinks and good company in the summer.
