Winter Dining in Atlanta: Best Restaurants with Heated Patios

Winter is in full swing in Atlanta and the temperatures have dropped. With COVID-19 still a very real concern for everyone, many people still prefer outdoor dining right now. Quite a few folks have asked about where they can sit on a heated patio. They want to continue to support local restaurants but do so in a way that makes them feel the safe.

I have compiled a list of restaurants in Atlanta that have the option of dining outdoors on a heated patio. The infographic below is just the start of the list. For the full list, check out my Guide on Instagram. I will continue to add to this Guide as I discover additional establishments with heated outdoor dining.

If you plan on visiting a restaurant please be cautious and be sure to wear your mask. At most, if not all, of the restaurants listed, this is a requirement when not eating or drinking. Washing and sanitizing your hands frequently is also a good practice (I keep a small bottle of sanitizer on me when I leave my home). And if outdoor dining is your preference, consider tipping your server a little extra. They are having to endure this winter weather for your dining pleasure so I am sure the extra gratuity will be appreciated. So throw on your beanie, scarf, coat, MASK (whatever will help keep you extra warm under the space heaters) and dine out safely and responsibly.
