A greenhouse and nine more patios in Montgomery County
A French BYOB on Butler Pike, a beer garden in Conshy, and a Narberth patio where the gyros come with imported feta.
August is running out of warm evenings, and Montgomery County's patios are making the most of them. Ten places where you can sit outside and eat well, from a greenhouse dining room in Ardmore to a backyard beer garden in Conshohocken. None of them require crossing a bridge.
-
A greenhouse of a dining room in Suburban Square, planted in greenery and community tables, with a bar list built entirely on Pennsylvania wine, beer and spirits.
-
An American bar and grill built around the backyard it's named for, with live music and one of the bigger outdoor scenes in Conshy.
-
Burgers and a full bar on upper Fayette Street, with a patio that Shakita on Google called "inviting."
-
French BYOB on Butler Pike pouring coq au vin and creme brulee without a bridge crossing. Bring the good bottle; the kitchen deserves it.
-
Eclectic bistro on Skippack Pike where the menu wanders from small plates to steaks, and Christian on Google calls it "one of the best in Southeastern PA."
-
Wings and crisp pierogies on Limekiln Pike, backed by a craft and import beer list, open to midnight seven days with catering trays for parties.
-
American kitchen and bar at Glenside Station, built out with barn wood and old La Salle High School bleachers, with the Block Yard out back running Thursday trivia and weekend live music.
-
An American tavern on York Road doing pub food and a full bar, open to midnight on weekends. Jon on Google calls it "a great neighborhood spot."
-
Greek market and cafe on N Narberth Ave, stacked with imported pantry goods and a counter turning out gyros and spanakopita. Sasha on Google loved "a lovely al fresco lunch on the patio."
-
American plates in a small BYOB on Woodbine Ave that's a birthday-and-anniversary regular for a lot of Narberth. Marjorie on Google calls it "my very favorite place to dine."
