With the new restrictions in place and indoor dining no longer on the table, you may be wondering where some of Vancouver’s best patios may be to enjoy with your household. I have some wonderful suggestions for you, keep on reading!

Located on the third floor of Black + Blue, this outdoor restaurant/lounge area is Vancouver’s largest rooftop. As mentioned by Curiosity, The Roof has undergone a major makeover from dark and moody to airy and plant-filled. Celebrate Easter weekend with them and enjoy their special three-course Easter Brunch menu!

Next up on the list is The Keefer Yard. One of Vancouver’s popular cocktails bars that has transformed into an open-air cocktail and mini-putt bar! Although the mini-putt is temporarily closed, I highly recommend stopping by to check out their unique cocktail menu and take in the awesome graffiti decor. They have heaters and fireplaces but it’s still going to be a bit cooler in there so make sure to dress warm.
The Sandbar Seafood Restaurant

If you are a seafood lover, you must add The Sandbar to your list of go-to patios! Located in the heart of Granville Island, the Sandbar offers unbeatable views of False Creek and Downtown Vancouver.
Browns Socialhouse Lower Lonsdale
Browns Socialhouse Lower Lonsdale is a community favourite. With patio seating on both the front and side of the restaurant, this location is the perfect place for lunch, dinner, or happy hour! I’d recommend trying their Social Soda’s and hot wings, a delicious combo.

Raglan’s Bistro has been a North Shore gem since ‘99. Offering tropical cocktails and funky, beach vibes, you’re guaranteed to have a blast here. Not to mention they’re extended patio is spacious, cozy, and very welcoming.

Joey Restaurants never fails to deliver when it comes to their amazing drink and food menu. I am thrilled that we now have this North Vancouver location available to us. Their patio is quite large, they have heaters, and an absolutely spectacular view of Downtown Vancouver.
The Colony Northwoods is another great option. This location has an extended patio and a wide range of craft tap options for you to explore. They also serve brunch, making this location highly desired for Easter Weekend.

Last but not least on my list of go to patios is PIER 7’s oceanfront patio. Here you can enjoy a fine dining experience (they offer delicious fresh seafood items), with unparalleled views of the Vancouver Harbour.
I hope these recommendations have inspired you to enjoy all that patio season has to offer this coming long weekend. Wishing you all a happy and safe Easter.
