Charlotte’s Finest Patios

It's been an interesting 6 months for Charlotte's residents for sure! Quarantine has had us all staying home more, some restaurants offering take out only, gyms closed, essential shops being the only ones open & for quite while the parks & greenways closed. Spring typically is the season where we all rush to our favorite restaurants, lounge on the patio, order cocktails of choice & stay a while. Since this spring proved to be such a mess, we are thinking come fall patios will see even more activity and traffic than ever before! So with fall just around the corner, we thought we would mention some of our favorite patios around the Queen City!
