We Have A Patio For That
Posted on : Wednesday, March 24, 2021
With an abundance of sunshine and an abundance of patios, Medicine Hat’s restaurant scene has an outdoor oasis to fit every need––and many are taking advantage of the warm weather and opening early (weather permitting).
Are you looking for the perfect patio? Look no further. We have a patio for everyone.
Bring your Best Friend
Patio Currently Open
Hell’s Basement Brewery are true dog lovers, with many of the staff bringing their furry friends with them to work. Hell’s Basement has expanded its drink options for all tastes, and their patio is family-friendly. If beer isn’t your thing––pick from their rotating list of hard sodas or their non-alcoholic Heck-of-a Root Beer!
Paradise with a View
Patio Currently Open
You don’t need to play a round of golf to spend time at the course. Situated at the bottom of the picturesque valley––and just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Visitor Information Centre––is The Clubhouse at Paradise Golf Course. The patio sits beside Seven Persons Creek, with views of the golf course, cliffs and Medicine Hat Tepee. The views from inside the restaurant are just as dynamic, with two-storey floor-to-ceiling windows so that you won’t miss a thing on a chillier day.

First opened in 2020 and sandwiched between two red brick heritage buildings in Downtown Medicine Hat, The Yard is a unique family-friendly space featuring local music, beer and spirits. They encourage guests to order from the food trucks almost always parked out front or from their small snack menu. A great reason to visit The Yard is to admire the beautiful graffiti murals covering their open-air space’s neighbouring buildings.
