Patio Drunk: Ten Of Dallas' Best Patios
The Mansion at Turtle Creek, Back Patio: The only thing that's missing is a perfect Dallas skyline, but two big fireplaces, a canopy of trees dotted with lanterns, and lots of space make for a polished evening session.
Lee Harvey's: Just like Katy Trail, Lee Harvey's has a massive outdoor space supported by a smaller building. The scale-tipper here is live music, and there are also fire pits, because nothing goes better with booze than open flames.![]()
Barley House: You'll have to put up with those crazy kids from SMU, but the Barley House is owned by the same characters as Katy Trail. They recently sold the Bryan Street Tavern, though.
Bryan Street Tavern may not have the best wings in Dallas, but the do have an awesome back patio. The views are good, the TVs show sports, and occasionally you can happen on some pretty cool music just inside the bar.
Ten Bells Tavern: is my sleeper patio because it's still so new. The outdoor space may not be as nice as the Foundry's but the chicken wings are good. Maybe even the best. But that's another list for another day.![]()
