.Outdoor Drinking Guide

Our guide to the East Bay's outdoor drinking options.

Please note that, in the interest of concision, restaurants with liquor licenses (and bars with food) have only been included once between this list and our Outdoor Dining Guide, based on what the primary focus seems to be. Also note that while this list is as complete as possible, we likely missed a few places; don’t hesitate to let us know by emailing [email protected].
