What better way to spend summer in Toronto than poolside? If you want to beat the heat with a cocktail in hand, the city is home to several poolside bars and clubs where you can take a dip while you sip.

These spots are available to the public for day use, meaning you don't have to check into a hotel for the night just to use the pool.

Sound good? Grab your swimsuit, sunscreen and friends and head to one of these poolside bars in Toronto.
