Some may call this a Fool’s Spring — but all we know is we can’t waste a good patio moment when we see one.

Will this warm weather last? Our crystal ball is OOO, so until we can predict the future more accurately, here are a few patios that are currently open.
  • Understory, 2571 Neil Ave., reopened its patio yesterday.
  • Land-Grant Brewing Co., 424 W. Town St., offers fire pits + a beer garden.
  • Seventh Son Brewing, 1104 N. 4th St., has an outdoor patio + an upstairs area with a retractable roof.
