7 Edmonton Bars With Sunny Patios Already Open For Summer Drinks
Summer has finally arrived; the birds are chirping, the sun is beaming, and Edmonton patios are back in business. What better way to experience the few rare weeks of warm weather than by being out on the deck with a well-chilled drink in hand? We put together a bunch of classic spots perfect for basking in the heat, with delicious drinks included, of course.
From sunny patios for brunching to colourful, dog-friendly decks to help you relax, you'll be hard-pressed to find better places to hang out this summer.
There's no better way to pass the time than sipping ice-cold margaritas with friends as you watch the world go by.
From places with huge lists of beers and specialty cocktails to food menus that leave you wanting nothing, these spots are great the next time you're feeling thirsty.
That's not to mention the great brunches or late breakfasts to be had on lazy weekends. Everyone knows mimosas don't count as day-drinking, it was decreed by John A. MacDonald back in 1867, probably. We might need to fact check that.
So with all that in mind, why head out with some friends or just yourself this summer and support one of these great local businesses with a drink in hand?
