This place is a hidden gem…literally NO ONE knows about how amazing their beer garden is. In fact, Leo claims it’s the best beer garden in the city. Bold statement.

Sharing the same kitchen with RM Champagne, Expat is a little bar that takes over the patio in front of Nellcote/RM in the summer months! They have delicious summer cocktails & small bites…AND the highlight for us has always been their Freeze Pops (basically spiked Popsicles…need I say more?!).

A winter (turned summer) favorite. This was our go-to dive bar this winter…it’s a corner bar in Logan with a dive bar feel but slightly more upscale. Great food, drinks, service…and their patio is so low key and chill.

Just a few blocks away from the madness of Big Star is this delicious vegetarian spot with a killer patio. I especially love coming here for brunch!

So not TECHNICALLY a patio, but the entire bar pretty much transforms into an outdoor space in the summer as they open up all of the doors & windows. I frequented this place last summer – such a fun, laid back vibe, tasty drinks (I mean, I can’t get enough mezcal), annndd their music is always unpredictable (in a good way).
