W Toronto - SKYLIGHT Rooftop Bar

Skyline Views and Mediterranean Vibes in the Heart of Toronto

Perched atop the stylish W Toronto hotel in Yorkville, Skylight Rooftop Bar brings a moody, bohemian flair to the city’s nightlife scene. Just a short ride from major music venues downtown, this rooftop spot is known for its panoramic skyline views, glam-meets-casual atmosphere, and a creative Mediterranean-inspired menu. With plush lounge seating, low lighting, and a high-energy DJ lineup, it's an ideal pre- or post-show destination.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're heading to a concert at Massey Hall or catching a set at Meridian Hall, Skylight’s location makes it a convenient pit stop. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, so you can enjoy a cocktail without yelling over the music. The menu is designed for sharing — think mezze plates, fresh seafood, and exotic dips — ideal for fueling up before a big night. Service is attentive and efficient, so you won’t be late to the show.
