Beer Garden · Central Slope · 79 tips and reviews
Scott Clausen: The best bar in the slope. Simple, unpretentious, and good beer. Oh, and the patio is awesome.
Margarita Krup: Great patio and beer selection. A favorite park slope location.
Sabrina: Great patio and local brews. Try a beer from The Other Half.

Dive Bar · North Slope · 127 tips and reviews
Kate Findlay-Shirras: Great patio- but bring bug spray!
Compass: A backyard patio, 90s rock posters, and fully functional (and free) vintage popcorn machine are among the local tap room’s most beloved quirks.
Chelsea Renaud: The name pretty much says it all - if there is such thing as a high-end dive bar, this is it. High Dive’s main assets are free popcorn, a solid rotating beer selection, and a back patio.

Cocktail Bar · North Slope · 140 tips and reviews
DAMstyle: Delicious drinks. A trust cocktail bar. I love the back patio.
Fodor's Travel: The warm atmosphere is midcentury modern meets old Western hotel, and in summer you can sip your tiki-style drink on the back patio. Read more.
Chelsea Renaud: Cocktail bar that’s unpretentious enough that you could walk in on for a casual drink and the big charcuterie plate, but vibey enough to continue a date night. Drinks made to your taste + Back Patio

Jhonn Thomassen: Great back patio, free popcorn, board games, and friendly bartenders. Laid back late 20's early 30's crowd.
ReALTO: "With an outdoor seating area, it’s an ideal spot on a cool summer night...vintage pinball machines (right next to the serve-yourself popcorn)" Read more.
Hana Slevin: Great patio when the weather is nice! Pinball machines & free popcorn! And a $7 Dark & Stormy. Not bad. :)

Wine Bar · South Slope · 90 tips and reviews
Chad: Brian is awesome. So is the patio!
Ranu Rajkarnikar: The wine is inexpensive, but the food's a bit overpriced so it evens out. Nice patio space in the back and great before a show at the bandshell. Friendly staff, service is a bit slow. Mac + cheese.
Danny Zlobinsky: Great neighborhood wine bar. The happy hour is great, especially for snacks and wine out on their patio.

Vietnamese Restaurant · North Slope · 61 tips and reviews
Alex: yummy Vietnamese fare and a beautiful and spacious backyard patio
James Kuang: They have outdoor seating in the back, we went in December and it was still open with heat lamps and blankets.
Chelsea Renaud: One of the better options for slightly elevated food and cocktails, in a nice-but-not-too-nice environment. Best for date night or girls' night, take advantage of the incredible back patio.

stephiedoo: I believe they still have a instant photobooth there. Also nice outdoor area in the summer.
Thomas Edwards: Between the bocce, downstairs indie club & the outdoor beer garden, you won't know what to do with yourself. My tip: Have one of their 40+ beer selections. Cool fact: downstairs bathroom is coed.
Natalie Timoteo: Quite possibly my favorite Brooklyn bar. Bocce courts on the top floor, decorated like a library, concert/dance parties in the basement, and weather permitting an outdoors area.

Luna Putzulu aka "luna matto": Love love love Provini. Off the beaten path, for Park Slope. The Homemade cheesecake will slay you. I've spent too many hours on the patio with too many bottles of wine, but that's okay.
EM H.: Nice patio outdoor seating and yummy homemade organic pasta
Julian Ehrhardt: Excellent hearty unpretentious food. Lovely lovely staff

Bar · South Slope · 64 tips and reviews
Donny Tsang: Friendly bartenders, $8 champagne in a can, tasty deviled eggs, and a plus for outdoor seating.
Andrea Hong: Favorite neighborhood spot for a chill vibe, great cocktails, and yum snacks (get one of the pretzels!). Outdoor seating is a plus, but inside is a cozy & lovely place to hang for drinks with friends.
Chelsea Renaud: A homey vibe (as in, you might be in your grandma’s living room), reasonably priced drinks, and outdoor patio situation.
