Grab a beer (all brewed in-house) and some tasty tacos at either location of Lazarus Brewing and get cozy on their warm patio. You'll find plenty of tables, heaters, and a covered tented area. Lazarus is also known for their delicious coffees (beans also roasted in-house), so why not bring your laptop and work on the patio with a latte in hand?

Yellow Jacket Social Club’s clientele includes everyone from bikers to college kids, and all are welcome at this laid-back spot. A large outdoor area with heaters invites both humans and pups to sit and stay a while. Warm up on their patio with a cup of their daily soup and/or a melty grilled cheese This bar also offers damn good brunch on weekends - the pork belly on hash cake is worth raving about.

You can read it on their sign. Matt's El Rancho is "Always Good," even in the wintertime. Visit their heated patio for a "Knock-Out" martini and authentic Mexican food served during breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Comfort food on a comfortable heated patio... could it get any better? Yup. This winter, you can cozy up with a specialty Moonshine patio cocktail. We recommend the Blind Mule, because you can't go to Moonshine and not have some Moonshine. Plus, it'll help warm you up.

A bake shop, a beer garden, and boozy coffee. Maybe a giant pretzel? And some sausage... It's hard to walk into Easy Tiger and not want to order pretty much everything off their amazing German-inspired menu. Regardless of what you ultimately choose, you can eat and drink it in the comfort of their massive, heated patio.
