THROWING SHADE BY BRET TUELLER
Sun's out, umbrellas up! It's patio season in Colorado, and these are some of the best around. BLU NOTE
LIL' RICCI'S NY PIZZA & PASTA
Parker has its first jazz bar. And the view from the patio somehow makes the jazz music even smoother. Dale Trujillo, the owner, wanted to make a place where families could enjoy together. 19600 Solar Circle | 720-600-1003
The best place to find New York-style pizza also has a roomy patio to relax and talk with friends. 16526 Keystone Blvd | 303-220-7422
FUZZY'S TACO SHOP Frosty drinks, good vibes; it's taco heaven. Add a patio that looks out toward Hess Resevoir and there is enough reason to celebrate. 12231 Pine Bluffs Way, Suite 101 | 720-638-6030
HICKORY HOUSE Eating the best ribs in town can be done anywhere, but enjoy them out on the Hickory House patio for a treat. And where else can you order a pig roast?! 10335 S. Parker Road | 303-805-9742 22 SEARCHPARKER | JULY 2020
LOS DOS POTRILLOS Adding a brewery to an established Mexican joint was risky, but the Ramirezes aren't done. They have plans to add a second level to the patio seating. The party continues at Los Dos. 10335 S. Parker Road | 303-805-9742
PARKER GARAGE One of my favorite patio dining experiences. The serene spot, right on main street, makes peoplewatching a favorite pastime, if you can pull yourself away from the food for a minute. 19420 Mainstreet | 720-389-8105
