Who’s ready for patio season? Believe it or not the first day of summer is next week and I’m so excited for warm weather and dining outdoors. I’ve gotten quite a few requests for my favorite patios in Grand Rapids so here you go! These are my top 10 favorite patios in Grand Rapids, MI that I suggest visiting this summer. Enjoy this season and these incredible patios! PS if you have a request for something you want to see on The GR Guide you can email me at info@thegrguide.com.
Butcher’s Union
You guys know how much I love Butcher’s Union, but I think it’s safe to say I love them even more during the summer months. Their patio tucked away in the back of the restaurant is hard to beat. Whether you go simply for cocktails with friends or a date night with your significant other this is my ideal patio.
Rose’s
It’s true what they say that everything is better at the lake. When you can enjoy the root chips, farro salad and mahi mahi sandwich (just a few of my favorites) while enjoying a view of the lake I don’t think it can get much better. Rose’s on Reeds Lake is great for families, happy hour and soaking in the warm summer nights.
Terra
Yes, I have a slight obsession with dining at Terra. Guys, I just can’t get enough of the wood-fired pizzas, the smoked trout dip, and the gazelle salad. The best part is now I can eat all of my favorites on a quaint patio with string lights and a lively ambiance. You can probably find me on this patio for the majority of the summer.
One Bourbon
I love One Bourbon during the winter for it’s cozy atmosphere, but I’m really excited to experience the outdoor deck. With an extensive bourbon and beer list plus a great menu you really can’t go wrong here for date night or meeting up with friends.
The Score
If you need a dose of the beach but can’t leave the city The Score is the place for you. With over 100 beers on tap, sand and palm trees you’ll definitely feel like your at the beach.
Reds at Thousand Oaks
If you love golfing you’ll love sitting outside on the patio at Reds at Thousand Oaks. With a two tier patio overlooking the golf course including fire pits this is a great spot to relax outdoors with friends and a glass of wine.
The Sovengard
With a group of friends or night on the town you should definitely check out the patio at The Sovengard. The outdoor biergarten is a fun spot for playing games with friends, drinking beer and socializing.
Donkey
If you love Mexican food it’s a no brainer to head to Donkey and enjoy some amazing food on the patio. The guacamole, tacos and margaritas are some of the best in town. With string lights and a great atmosphere the patio at Donkey is a must this summer.
Outside Coffee Co.
Outside Coffee Co. recently opened outside of Woosah and let me tell you this the best spot to grab a cup of coffee during the summer months. With a gorgeous courtyard patio with umbrellas, string lights and hammocks this spot has become my new favorite. It’s great for meeting with friends, doing some work, or relaxing without having to check your phone.
Bostwick Lake Inn
We always try to make it to Bostwick Lake Inn at least once durning the summer for their amazing patio on the lake. I love their veggie burger, salmon or fresh salads paired with a glass of wine and while enjoying a fabulous view of the lake.
