Kensington is one business revitalization zone (BRZ) in Calgary packed to the max with awesome summer patios. ­

From the low-key and quieter setting at Oak Tree Tavern to the seasonal curbside seats at The Yardhouse, you won’t have a hard time finding one that fits the mood.

Without further adieu, here is our list of top five summer patios in Calgary’s Kensington business revitalization zone you have to check out the next time around!

Feel free to drop us a line below and let us know what your favourites are – we will add them to one of our patio lists!

Oak Tree Tavern

• Address – Level 2, 124 10 St NW

• Phone Number – 403-270-3347

Hidden away behind the street businesses of 10^th Street NW is Oak Tree Tavern’s second-floor patio, a great spot for catching up with old friends or simply having some great food and drink.

It is one of the few Kensington patios that is actually elevated from street level and tucked away off of the main strip which makes it one of the quieter patio spots to do your thing.

The Yardhouse

• Address – 1136 Kensington Road NW

• Phone Number – 403-283-3021

Complete with colorful flower pots and table umbrellas, you’ll be set up in one of the best spots to enjoy the sights and sounds of the BRZ’s main strip at The Yardhouse’s seasonal patio.

This curbside spot is excellent for those who want to experience the vibrant streetscapes of Kensington on a busy weekend or holiday. Learn more about the food at our Yardhouse Kensington Restaurant Review today.

Molly Malone’s Irish Pub

• Address – 1153 Kensington Crescent NW

• Phone Number – 403-296-3220

Molly Malone`s Irish Pub has a massive patio section on its second floor – probably the biggest patio in the neighbourhood as a matter of fact – that overlooks the bustling crescent below.

This place is great for larger groups of friends, sports enthusiasts and beer connoisseurs looking to get an all-rounded pub experience in one night.

Julio’s Barrio

• Address – 101 10^th Street NW

• Phone Number – 403-203-3066

Located on the corner of 10^th Street and Memorial Drive NW, Julio’s Barrio’s rooftop patio is equipped with Bow River views and a Mexican drink menu that will tickle the fancy of nearly any visitor.

I highly recommend Julio’s Barrio patio for those looking to enjoy refreshing views while indulging in everything from fajitas to over-sized margaritas.

Modern Steak

• Address – 107 - 10A Street NW

• Phone Number – 403-630-6873

Modern Steak`s boutique-style second-floor patio tucked away behind the main strip is the perfect place for an up close and personal get-together.

Those looking for a high-end patio dining experience should definitely check out this place not only for the food, but also for the looks that this ultra-sophisticated restaurant sports inside and out.

Original Joe`s

• Address – 1220 Kensington Road NW

• Phone Number – 403-670-5637

Our list of best patios in Kensington would not be complete without Original Joe`s classy outdoor space located on the corner of 11a Street and Kensington Road NW.

Original Joe`s is another all-round restaurant with great pub food, a decent selection of drinks and very comfortable / completely shaded outdoor patio space to boot.
