There’s just something about dining outdoors that makes everything taste better—especially when you’re sitting under string lights with a cocktail in hand and a warm breeze around you. Whether you're catching up with friends or unwinding after a long day, these local restaurants offer some of the best patios and outdoor vibes around Milton, Roswell, and North Atlanta. Here’s where to go when the weather is perfect and the mood is easy.
Tucked into Crabapple’s Historic District, Milton’s is a local landmark housed in a beautifully restored 150-year-old farmhouse. But the real magic? Their wraparound outdoor patio and deck space, perfect for long brunches or a date night under the stars. Add a crackling fireplace and a glass of wine, and you’ve got a patio scene that feels like home—only better.
Vin25 is the kind of hidden gem you almost want to keep to yourself. The multi-level patio space is effortlessly charming, with string lights, garden views, and intimate nooks ideal for sharing a bottle from their hand-picked wine list. It's relaxed, romantic, and absolutely patio goals.
This Roswell favorite blends modern Asian cuisine with a stylish, laid-back vibe. Their outdoor patio is the place to be when you want sushi and sake under the open sky. Cozy, covered, and right off Canton Street—it’s a go-to for casual nights with friends or a chill lunch in the sun.
Known for its fried chicken and Southern hospitality, Table & Main delivers on charm and flavor—but the patio is where it really shines. Nestled beside a restored century-old home, the garden-style seating is both beautiful and relaxed. Think: shaded trees, ambient lights, and plates full of Southern comfort.
While the cozy, brick-lined interior gives steakhouse vibes through and through, Little Alley’s patio brings that same sophistication outside. Perfect for a sunset dinner or bourbon on the rocks, this spot lets you enjoy Roswell’s lively Canton Street scene from the comfort of a private outdoor booth.
For skyline views and rooftop vibes, UP on the Roof delivers. Located atop Liberty Hall in downtown Alpharetta, the open-air seating is breezy, bright, and buzzing. Whether it’s brunch or happy hour, it’s one of the best spots around to raise a glass and take in the view.

With garden-to-fork dishes, comfort food favorites, and 77 whiskeys to explore, it’s the kind of place where you settle in and stay awhile. Bonus: the on-site garden makes the whole setting feel extra special.
The Union serves up comfort food with creative twists—and their patio is just as inviting as the menu. Surrounded by lush landscaping and glowing string lights, this local favorite is perfect for everything from casual lunches to family dinners. It’s laid-back, neighborly, and totally Milton.
