The Whisky Bar Patio offers a fully outdoor dining experience where great food, handcrafted drinks, and good company come together. Located at Wayne Gretzky Estates in Niagara-on-the-Lake, this welcoming patio is the perfect gathering place for fans of wine, spirits, and cocktails. Open year-round, guests can enjoy Smokehouse-inspired dishes crafted by Executive Chef Maurice Desharnais alongside expertly mixed cocktails.

In the winter months, the experience gets even more Canadian with The Rink - a seasonal skating experience right in our backyard. Guests can lace up their skates and hit the ice, then cozy up on the patio with a warm drink or hearty bite.

Whether you’re basking in the summer sun with a chilled cocktail or enjoying a winter skate followed by a warm drink, it's the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the vibrant energy of Wayne Gretzky Estates. From warm-weather lounging to après-skate coziness, happy hour here is a true Canadian celebration.
