Raleigh bars and restaurants offer heated patios for safe sipping and nipping all winter long.
Winter doesn’t exactly scream patio season. But given the current strain on our local restaurants and bars, it’s crucial for spaces without a lot of indoor seating to be able to accommodate guests outdoors. Besides rendering many of Raleigh’s beloved sup spots (along with other local businesses) unable or struggling to pay rent, bills and employees, the pandemic’s unprecedented challenges have also left them hustling to stay abreast of ever-evolving regulations to keep diners safe and coming back—and warm.
To the rescue is Duke Energy’s two rounds of Storefront Revitalization Grants—the first offering $288,000 in funding; and the second, $98,000—to enable restaurants, bars and other storefronts to rebuild and pivot their operations in order to be viable. Via the grant, businesses like The Longleaf Hotel were able to entice guests by adding heaters and other amenities to its outdoor patio. Here, we round up local restos and bars with safe and warm heated patios worth popping a squat on for dinner or drinks this winter.
