I can't even begin to count how many times I have taken AC754 or AC156, showered in the MLL and then off to work or onto AC400.

I would be in favor of that! Patios I can think of - there are some on the Esplanade a block south of front - Bier Market, Scotland Yard, Old Spaghetti Factory, Keg. At Young and Front, O&B, Houstons. Other side of Union Station, Jack Astors, rooftop patio at Gretzky's. Not sure of any that might have enough space to reserve for our transient group though. Again, I am sure there are others! Black Bull on Queen West, Mill Street in Distillery district, the Pilot near Yonge and Bloor, Madison and I think Hemmingway's has a patio too. Again, not sure if they will take a group. Just throwing out ideas!

Actually, I really hope it's an awesome day on May 9. But the way things are going, it's hard to predict that. Most patios downtown are currently not operating. I know May 9 is yet a couple of weeks off, but it's possible that not all patios will be up and running by then.

You assume we won't get another bout of snow!

Where are we supposed to be advertising this. I'm at the CLE pre-Do, and at least one person is surprised he hasn't heard about this one.

Wow, go away for a week for a mini vacay and you guys organize yourselves
May 9th works for me as well. I will make a sign to put on the table to make it easier for newcomers to recognize us.
I still suggest the Bier Market for their awesome collection of craft beers (on Esplanade works and they do have a patio). Agree a patio option is ideal if the weather is nice but having a decent indoor setting if its not. Against the Grain worked well last time by YTZ, but understand if others want a change of venue.
Beer bistro could also work. They have an outdoor patio as well along with an extensive beer list. For those who have a CIBC Aerogold, you'll get 2X the miles here. http://beerbistro.com/
Here' s a list of the top ten bars with the most beer taps in Toronto. Bier Market makes the list well
I would also like to throw out Earls in downtown Toronto. For those who have lived/been to Western Canada you will know about this place. They have great food, a large patio outside (with heated lamps as well I believe) and a good beer list. Located in the financial district so TTC is available for everybody. Challenge will be if we want this location on a friday night, we would have to reserve quite soon.
Once we've confirmed a spot I can go ahead and make a reservation.
