Courtlin’s Restaurant Patio Tour [PHOTOS]

After three months of exploring different eastern Iowa restaurants, I've come up with a list of my favorite patios to enjoy a meal on.

I love food. All kinds of food. And I also love patios. All kinds of patios. One of my absolute favorite things to do when the weather is nice is enjoy those two things together. I've spent the last few months exploring different restaurants in the area (thanks to listener suggestions) and coming up with a list of my favorite patios to eat on. I've dubbed it "Courtlin's Patio Tour." My job is just so hard sometimes.

Anyways, please enjoy this list of my top eight favorite restaurant patios (in no particular order), and try not to let it make you hungry...

• Newbo Alehouse

• Vito's on 42nd

• Butcher's Block

• Parlor City

• The General Store

• Sag Wagon

• Broken Spoke

• Black Sheep Social Club

I know that there are a ton of other amazing restaurants with patios out there that I haven't had a chance to try yet, but ONE DAY I will get to them all (I'm not rich, unfortunately). Did your favorite make my list? Let me know yours in the comments!
