MILWAUKEE — As the temperatures continue to get colder, more and more restaurants are closing their patio dining for the season.

All summer long, we were asked to eat outdoors when possible due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, now that it's getting colder, that's not really an option.

Luckily enough, though, there are some restaurants that still offer outdoor dining, even when there's snow on the ground.

AJ Bombers

AJ Bombers has added a tent and heaters so they can continue serving their food outdoors, even in the winter. You can check out the new set up at 1247 N. Water St.

At Random

At Random is currently only seating people outdoors. You can even try one of their heated cocktail huts!

Buckatabon Tavern & Supper Club

Buckatabon has three domes for outdoor dining this winter! All you have to do is bring your own blanket.

Cafe Benelux

Cafe Benelux offers rooftop domes during the winter. You can make a reservation for up to 8 people and up to 90 minutes. To make a reservation and view the menu, click here.
