Check out these outdoor dining and heated patios to enjoy a meal in Colorado Springs.
In case you missed it (but you probably didn't), El Paso County is currently at Level Red COVID-19 restrictions. At Level Red, restaurants are limited to takeout and outdoor dining only. As the temperature drops, finding comfortable outdoor seating at restaurants is becoming more difficult. Fortunately, restaurants across the Springs are answering the call and offering outdoor dining and heated patios for anyone looking for a good restaurant experience.
Keep in mind many restaurants are operating on a reservations-only basis. Without further ado, here's your guide to outdoor dining and heated patios in Colorado Springs:
