The Yard
An outdoor, family-friendly patio where local beer is served on tap, cocktails are mixed to amaze, and a cold kitchen food menu with the local-favourite Daniel's Dill Dip featured on the menu.

LOCAL Public Eatery
With a patio seating area that’s as large as the indoor seating area, the atmosphere is energetic. With a backyard feel in all the best ways, you can fully let loose and relax under the sunshine.
Local Tip: Be sure to make a reservation. The patio is large, but it fills up quickly!

A beautiful boarded patio that's a spotlight for the sun. In the summer, fill up and hydrate on the patio at Poolhouse Café & Roastery.

Station Coffee Company
If the sun is out, it is directly hitting Station Coffee Company’s patio — an iced-coffee hasn’t tasted more refreshing.
Local Tip: The local café has a tea on tap that’s a nice alternative for a non-caffeinated beverage.
Travois Ale Works
Along with a quaint patio, this micro-brewery has everything beer — beer cocktails, canned and bottled beer, good ol’ beer on tap, and beer slushies, which are especially refreshing on a hot summer’s day.
Local Tip: Check their social media and see if they’re hosting a trivia night during your visit!

A classic go-to local eatery and bar in Medicine Hat. An afternoon or evening on the patio is sure to bring good times and many laughs.
