Manitobans know a thing or two about patio season. While it's easy to assume that all the best spots are found in Winnipeg, there are plenty of outstanding options beyond the city limits too.

There are a number of spots around the province where you can sit back, bask in the warmth of the sun on your face, while enjoying your favourite ice-cold brew, pitcher of fruity sangria, or one of those cute cocktails with a paper umbrella floating on top! Here are a few options where you can wet your whistle this summer:

1929 Dining and Lounge, Riding Mountain National Park

For the better part of the last century, 1929 has been a meeting place for locals and visitors alike. In the summer months, this outdoor space is teeming with fun-loving folks enjoying the atmosphere and the warm weather. Insider tip: for a true taste of summer, try the Banana Bailey Colada. YUM doesn’t begin to describe it!

Paint Lake Lodge, Paint Lake Provincial Park

After a busy day of waterfall chasing at Pisew Falls or reeling up monster walleyes on the lake, head over to Paint Lake Lodge and grab a seat on their patio overlooking the marina. If you time it right, you’ll have the best seats in the house for one of the most picture-perfect sunsets your eyes will ever see.

Rivers Edge Golf Course, Beausejour

Situated along the picturesque Brokenhead River, this screened-in patio offers a two-for-one: the prettiest view you can imagine while knocking back a cold one! It’s the perfect summer retreat. Pro tip: you don’t have to golf to enjoy the view. This patio (and adjoining restaurant) is open to the public!

McGee’s Family Restaurant, Carman

Overlooking the sprawling greens at Carman Golf & Curling Club, the patio at McGee’s is a stunner and one that everyone should experience this summer. If sipping on a sweet sangria while listening to the soothing sounds of the water fountain in the nearby pond doesn’t sound like a little piece of heaven on Earth, I don’t know what does?

The Lighthouse Restaurant and Lounge, Gull Harbour

Right along the shore of Lake Winnipeg, you'll find the perfect place to unwind from a day of activities on Hecla Island. Recently renovated, the Lighthouse Restaurant boasts two lovely patio areas – a screened-in option and an open outdoor space, both of which boast waterfront views that will make you want to return again and again!

The Eagle's Nest Bar and Grill, Brandon

Nestled in the Wheat City Golf Course, The Eagle’s Nest is an ideal spot to enjoy classic comfort food and refreshing drinks, served with a side of picturesque summer views. If you're coming for dinner, stick around for the sunset — you won't want to miss it!

These are just a small sampling. If you have a favourite must-visit patio outside the perimeter, tell us in the comments below so we can check them out too!
