Cocktails.food.patio. Three great tastes that taste great together...especially in the evenings when you can enjoy a cool breeze and a few laughs. Some patios offer live music, and some even let you bring your fur babies! So grab your shades and your coworkers, friends or family to enjoy Arlington's hippest patio hangouts:

  • Tipsy Oak – On any given day, this is arguably the most colorful and happening patio in Downtown Arlington. Add to that a chef-driven menu, craft beer, wine, and live music! Hello good times! 301 E. Front St. 
  • Boomerjack’s Grill & Bar – Located in Lincoln Square shopping center, which is convenient to both stadiums, Boomers has the most comfy and spacious patio options in town. Not to be missed if you are a patio snob! 522 Lincoln Square (Second location at 4000 Arlington Highlands)
  • Legal Draft Beer Company – It's certainly not a crime to love Texas beer! And Legal Draft offers world-class, full-tilt flavors with catchy names like Chief Justice Stout, Hung Jury Hefeweizen and Free & Clear, which is their gluten free offering. Best of all, it's walking distance to Tipsy Oak, so you can hit both at the same time. 500 E Division St.
