Well, it’s safe to say that the weather’s improved these last couple of days. The mercury is rising, and so is our thirst. Astoria is jam packed full of places to sit and chill with a nice cold one and some company, so we’ve compiled a little list of some of those places.

So if you feel the need to enjoy some fun in the sun with a cocktail as you people watch, then check out some of these:

Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden

Always on top of anyone’s list, this Astoria staple offers a massive outdoor seating square. With events held most weekends, it’s a must for anyone looking to enjoy some better weather.

Mojave

Now here’s one you definitely don’t wanna miss. Nothing says summer quite like the cool sip of Sangria as the sun slowly basks a Mexican style outdoor courtyard. Mojave is one of those places you truly get lost in. Big groups more than welcome as the drinks are getting poured and the food is filling up the tables. Have a dance and enjoy every minute.

It may not have the biggest patio, but it sure has the quaint character we all look for when searching for that perfect little getaway. Astoria Bier & Cheese has the food to match as you take in the atmosphere. Certainly worth it.
