In case you missed it, the temperature is going to drop significantly this weekendwe’re talkin’ lows in the high 20s.

Hence we noticed a few local spots setting up shop to prepare for winter patio season.

El Cid, a popular Mexican restaurant, posted this photo + teased that reservations will soon be available for private, heated igloos.

Additionally, Mirror Twin, a local brewery, shared a drone video of two large heated tents that it recently installed.

That got us thinking, what spots do you know of that have warm, heated patios for winter? Let us know. We’ll keep a running list to keep all of our readers updated.

After all, ain’t no party like a patio party.
