Located on 17th Avenue, Chilitos Taberna offers incredible food and one of the coziest patios on the strip! Not only is it mostly covered, but the patio also has a ton of too-hot-to-handle heaters and a huge selection of tequila – meaning that you’ll be warmed from the outside as well as the inside!

A heated, dog-friendly patio with TVs? At Bottlescrew Bill’s Pub, customers can enjoy all the luxuries of being home, except you’ll be outside, with access to 300 different beers and better food. This patio is also incredibly comfortable come rain, shine, wind or worse thanks to its partial awning that covers you from any storms or extreme heat.

Ah, another 17th Avenue gem! Serving some mean BBQ, hefty sides and cold drinks, Calgary’s Comery Block also has an incredibly cozy extended patio, with heaters and umbrellas, just in case it rains. For those who live downtown, it’s conveniently located, it’s great for people-watching and as we’ve already suggested – the food is pretty freaking fantastic if you have the meats.

Bonterra’s patio is a hidden gem – but you’ll have to call ahead to see if it’s open as this one is weather-dependent. Designed with Italy in mind, this outdoor haven is covered, heated, and has a working fireplace that guests are encouraged to snuggle up next to. Also, the food here is unreal. Pasta, wine, views? We couldn’t ask for more.

Hayden Block has two patios, however, it’s the enclosed area where you’ll find yourself catching the warm fuzzies. Not only is it mostly covered, but it also has heaters for those chillier days.

This 17th Ave hot spot is great for fall nights when the sun goes down and things get a bit nippy. Grab your coat, a drink, and an appetizer or two, then sit next to their large outdoor fireplaces while you peoplewatch. What could be better?

CRAFT’s 10th Avenue heated rooftop patio gives us major ‘adult summer camp’ vibes. With games, fairy lights, and even a VW van parked table side – not only will you stay warm and cozy you’ll stay entertained.

Free House Local Craft Beer and Food Hall has an unreal patio. It’s huge, it’s heated, it gets a ton of sun and it’s got a pretty cute view of the Kensington Neighbourhood. We would definitely recommend checking this place out!

People watching with a mouthful of tacos? That’s what we’d consider time well spent and man, do we know the perfect spot for exactly that! Order a margarita, stuff your face with a few tortillas, and creep it real under the overhead heaters on an autumn afternoon at Blancos on 17th Avenue!
