Our long-awaited summer season is in full swing. If you’re looking to take advantage of the sunny weather, look no further. The Thunder Bay restaurant scene has experienced an explosion in the number of patios over the last few years – in part to help restaurants cope with COVID-19. We’re happy to see so many of them have stuck around, and perhaps inspired other restaurants to follow suit. Without further ado, here’s a list of local restaurants we found who offer a patio dining experience:
