April 14, 2017


The crew at Falstaff’s Local is adding a patio just in time for warm weather. In honor of the occasion, we’ve created this definitive guide to Downtown Springfield’s patio scene. Did we miss one? Let us know on Facebook.

417 Taphouse

Chill out after a game of Skee Ball on 417 Taphouse’s patio. There’s plenty of seating for you and your beer-loving friends.

Big Whiskey’s

Settle in on the patio at Big Whiskey’s with an order of the restaurant’s famous buffalo chicken dip.

Billiards

Take a break from an intense round of pool and enjoy a world-class burger on the patio at Billiards.

CB Social House

Enjoy CB’s delicious menu in the breezy lower-level patio. As if you needed another excuse to check out that impressive whiskey selection.

Civil Kitchen

Civil Kitchen’s dog-friendly patio makes for great people watching. Find a spot on a weekend night to see Downtown revelry at its finest.

The Coffee Ethic

The Coffee Ethic’s patio is perhaps the only place in Springfield where you can enjoy a perfect cappuccino with a crowd that spans four generations—and the occasional dog.

Dublin’s Pass

Dublin’s Pass is right next to Big Whiskey’s on Park Central East, offering another huge patio and a tasty Irish-centric menu.

Ernie Biggs

Chicago-style dueling piano bar Ernie Biggs brings the tunes and the open-air fun with a small patio out front.

The Golden Girl Rum Club

Golden Girl’s patio has serious island vibes—perfect if you need to be transported after a hectic work week. Order a GG Itch and settle in.

Grad School

Snag a seat on the patio at Grad School to enjoy a Full Ride burger in peace.

Harbell’s Grill and Sports Bar

Located next to Falstaff’s, the patio at Harbell’s rounds out the Park Central West patio corridor. Check out the imaginative burger menu and kick it in the sunshine.

Lost Signal Brewing Company

Lost Signal offers hand-crafted local brews and a food menu that goes far beyond standard brewpub fare. Head to the new brewery on the block for a sit-down under the covered patio.

Mother’s Backyard

It’s not technically a patio, but the backyard at Mother’s Brewing Company is the perfect place to sip a brewski in the sunshine. The dog-friendly backyard is home to some of Mother’s most popular events like the annual Mother’s Day Festival.

MudLounge Coffee & Cocktails

Sipping a drink on the closed-in patio at MudLounge means one thing: Summer has arrived. Bring some buds and maybe a board game. Pro tip: Order fondue off the menu.

Patton Alley Pub

Feeling cooped up? Post up at one of the long tables in front of Patton Alley. It has a fun community feel and is fully dog-friendly.

Need lunch plans? Grab a seat on Qdoba’s patio, and feel free to savor that burrito.

The Regency

Catch a show at The Regency, then take it to the patio on a warm summer night.

Scotch & Soda

Scotch & Soda features a tiny patio with just enough seats for you and a few of your gang. The whole place a breezy feel with a large window opening up to the patio outside.

Slider’s

The sidewalk seating at Slider’s is just big enough for a few lucky patrons. Grab a bag of burgers to share, then make your way to the sidewalk before someone else snags the spot.

Springfield Brewing Company

Recipe for an ideal Sunday morning: heading to brunch on the massive porch at Brew Co. Bring your pals, your pup and your appetite.
