As summer is quickly passing by, we want to make sure you’ve taken full advantage of the fabulous patios and outdoor hang out spaces in Charlotte. While it seems like every restaurant and brewery seems to have a great patio, we wanted to point out some that wouldn’t immediately come to mind, but are definitely worth the visit.
Here’s a list of our favorite hidden gem patios in Charlotte:
Rhino Market
Address: 1500 W Morehead St #E, Charlotte, NC 28208
Why we love it: For obvious reasons we love this patio. The food is delicious and gets the job done when you’re crunched for time, but need a midday pick-me-up paired with some Vitamin D. There’s always solid work jams playing and it’s rarely crowded or loud.

Healthy Home Market
Address: 1330 Central Ave, Charlotte, NC 28205
Why we love it: Not only is HHM convenient for a healthy, quick and low cost lunch, its Plaza Midwood location has a stellar patio. HHM loves their patio so much, they hold monthly Patio Parties with games, live music, booze and great food.

The Patios in front of Ben & Jerry’s & Qdoba at ParkTowne Village
Address: 1600 E Woodlawn Rd #300, Charlotte, NC 28209
Why we love it: This spot is located just across the street from Park Road Shopping Center. There are great shops, restaurants and workout places right here paired with a very peaceful fountain to listen to while you relax.

Tabor
Address: 421 Providence Rd, Charlotte, NC 28207
Why we love it: Not Just Coffee is staked out every Saturday & Sunday from 8:30-3:30 p.m. This is a completely unpredictable spot to get your work done. And afterward, you can reward yourself with a stylish present to congratulate yourself on everything you got done.

Sir Edmond Halley’s
Address: Park Road Shopping Center, 4151 Park Rd, Charlotte, NC 28209
Why we love it: This *super* hidden gem is tucked away from all the hustle and bustle of Park Road Shopping Center. Once you make your way down the quiet stair case between Ski Country Sports and Omega Sports, you’ll find yourself in a lush oasis that conveniently also has great food.

The Workman’s Friend

Why we love it: Tucked away in the back and not easily visible from the street, this patio is the perfect spot for a quiet conversation over a bourbon cocktail.
