Our Team's 5 Favorite Local Patios
BY ZOE VOSSEN - MAY 31, 2021
Summer is here and we could not be more ready. Our team, along with most Minnesotans, patiently await this time of year for many reasons: one being all of the beautiful local patios.
We wanted to take a moment to express our enthusiasm for patio season by sharing 5 of our team's favorite local outdoor oases!
W.A. Frost & Co.
Picked by Mollie Windmiller
Creative Director, Owner
"W.A. Frost's patio makes me feel like I am dining in a secret garden and far away from home. The food and drinks never disappoint!"

Colita
Picked by Heather Dempsey
Director of Brand Experiences
"The vibe always makes me feel like I’m on vacation. The cocktails are 5-stars…who doesn’t love a miniature rubber ducky in their drink? And, the food! Can’t stop thinking about the tapas and the churros…"

Centro
Picked by Erica Gloeckler
Graphic Designer
"It's a short walk from my house and Quincy Street has the best energy and vibes. The margaritas are my favorite and I love splitting a pitcher with friends on a hot summer evening."

St. Paul Brewing
Picked by Zoe Vossen
Editorial Manager
I may be biased because I am getting married on this very patio next year, but it is by far my favorite place to enjoy a beer outdoors. You are surrounded by the brick ruins from the old Hamm's Brewery, art installations, and plants galore. Don't even get me started on their wood-fired pizza!

Aster Cafe
Picked by Amy Berry Boes
Web Designer
"My favorite patio is aster cafe! Such a Minneapolis classic. Great drinks, awesome service and the view of the city is one of the best in town. Also, plenty of seating space!"
