6 GREAT PATIOS FOR THE SUMMER HEAT

Image of a Restaurant Patio that is definitely not in Oregon.

Summer is officially here! Its arrival brings one of the best times to live in Oregon. With these long, lazy days we are all looking for ways to beat the heat! Below is a list of my favorite restaurants in the area with a patio, delicious food, and cooling drinks!

Our Table Cooperative, 13390 SW Morgan Rd, Sherwood

Farm store, wood-fired pizza, happy hour, brunches, fresh and local fruits and vegetables - this place has it all! With a gorgeous patio and plenty of space, this is the perfect place for adults to linger over wood-fired pizza and a cold beer while kids explore!

Lake Theater, 106 N State St, Lake Oswego

Not just a movie theater! This cafe has delicious food in a gorgeous venue - right on the lake! 10/10 would recommend. And yes - the patio has a view of the lake!

Tigard Taphouse, 9230 SW Burnham Street, Tigard

26 taps, a menu that includes "Magic Cheese" a patio, and board games - this is the perfect place to enjoy some family time. Kid friendly until 8, dog friendly all the time. Assuming kids and dogs are well-behaved, of course!

Willamette Garage, 1590 Willamette Falls Dr, West Linn

The new kid on the West Linn block! This food cart pod has 8 different cuisines, a full bar, and plenty of outdoor (covered!) seating. Out for the evening? Beautiful fire pits add to the ambience.

Corner 14 and Oregon City Brewing, 508 14th & 1401 Washington, Oregon City

Oregon City's premier food cart pod is directly across the street from Oregon City Brewing - which also hosts several food carts! With two different patios and LOTS of options, everyone will be happy here!

Ale and Cider House, 1720 Willamette Falls Drive, West Linn

Known for their delicious selection of ciders, the patio here now hosts a food cart! With plenty of outdoor space for kids to explore, this is a great place to relax!
