Between warmer temps, increased numbers of folks being vaccinated, and the state now being in Phase 3 — which allows restaurants to up their capacity + businesses like bars to reopen — we can’t wait to hit up some of our favorite area patios for some safe outdoor dining.
We’ve compiled a list of outdoor dining options here for y’all — 83 of them, in fact.
From brews + barbecue to vegan treats + pizza, chances are good that if you’re craving it, there’s a spot in town for you to go enjoy it and soak up some rays to boot.
Note: COVID-19 has caused many places to change their hours, so double check before heading over.
