Patio bars were popular in the Sault’s downtown in 2020.

And with the Ontario government and public health officials encouraging more outdoor dining as per COVID-19, look for patio bars to soon spring up in the Sault’s downtown.

Among the downtown area eating/drinking establishments that had outdoor patios last season were Big Lake Cabin, Broers Jansen, Mane St. Cafe, Arturo’s, Tazzi’s, Outspoken Brewing, Whisky Barrel, Machine Shop/Boiler Room et al.

City of Sault Ste. Marie will be waiving all outdoor patio fees for the 2021 season.
