How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside the Charlotte city limits, the same records behind our local business directory, checked against each place’s own website on 2026-10-12. A place is listed only if its own site describes a patio, rooftop, courtyard or garden; a map tag alone was not enough. Patios close or change hours in bad weather, so check before you go. The list is alphabetical; it is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
