The patio dining in Cedar Rapids is expanding each year. Here are a few tried and true patios for an afternoon or evening out.
Parlor City Pub & Eatery – Possibly the most happening place in the area. At Parlor City you will always find a fun crowd of folks enjoying great food, a huge selection of craft beer and live music on the large patio space.
Iowa Brewing Co. – At this hip beer garden hangout you are likely to experience bicyclist, giant Jenga, live music and food trucks but you will ALWAYS experience national award-winning craft beer!
Cedar Ridge Distillery & Winery – Everything you would expect from winery and nothing you would expect to find in Iowa. There are so many outdoor seating options, all of which offer stunning views of their vineyards and none of which are far from their tasting room. Check out there newly expanded bar and cocktail offerings!
Lion Bridge Brewing Company – Bocce ball, twinkly lights strung above an ode to Czech historic decor, great food and oh yeah…gold medal award-winning craft beer!
Popoli Ristorante - Enjoy the sights and sounds of the downtown Cedar Rapids riverfront on Popoli's patio.
The Local Craft Ale House - This is a great stop for bicyclists along the Cedar Valley Nature Trail and spacious for all!
Local Pour Street Food - Check out their great patio that is open throughout the year with igloos to keep you warm in the colder months.
