There's nothing like patio dining. And these days, diners are enjoying the outdoors longer than ever before. So, we've created this easy-to-use guide to patios in the Milwaukee area and beyond.
Since fall (and winter) temperatures can also get chilly, we've also noted patios equipped with heaters, fire pits or other means to keep you warm while dining out-of-doors.
Just look for the flame symbol.
Restaurants: If you've added heaters, fire tables or other warming features to your patio that are not listed, please let me know by emailing me at lori@onmilwaukee.com.
Before you head out, please remember to be considerate. Many restaurants are currently understaffed, so service may be slower than normal and your food may take longer to prepare. Be kind to your servers and please remember to tip well. Some locations' hours may have changed as well, so double check their respective websites or social media channels before heading out.

As a passionate champion of the local dining scene, Lori has reimagined the restaurant critic's role into that of a trusted dining concierge, guiding food lovers to delightful culinary discoveries and memorable experiences.
Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with every dish. Lori is the author of two books: the "Wisconsin Field to Fork" cookbook and "Milwaukee Food". Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. In 2024, Lori was honored with a "Top 20 Women in Hospitality to Watch" award by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or planning for TV and radio spots, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
