🎶 You can stand eat under my umbrella

The weekend is upon us, and we’re tired of sitting inside. We’re sharing three spots with outdoor seating — a coffee shop, a restaurant, and a brewery — so you can move from meal to meal without ever stepping foot indoors.
Coffee shop
Brevede | Partially shaded
Grab your carefully curated beverage alongside European treats, then venture under one of the patio umbrellas to take in those Distillery District views.
Restaurant
Doodles | Partially shaded
There’s no mistaking those bright orange umbrellas — comfort food is the name of the game here, so pick a seat and cozy up with an order of biscuits + gravy or a Kentucky hot brown quesadilla.
Brewery
West Sixth Brewing | Partially shaded
Enjoy the outdoors (sorta) inside at the Bread Box, or venture out to the street side patio to really take in the historic neighborhood.
I myself am a Taurus — yes, I’ll accept all of your “happy early birthday"s — which means that East End is my perfect neighborhood match. While I’m admittedly not zodiac-intelligent enough to know if that match makes sense, I do know a good local birthday freebie when I see one.
