On a particularly windy day, the roof deck at Rattlesnake is the place to go. Rattlesnake's outdoor bar is surrounded by tall neighboring buildings, which allows patrons to enjoy food and beverages outside while being protected from the wind. Rattlesnake is conveniently located on Boylston street. This is great for after work or for a break during shopping on Newbury street on a sunny weekend.

The Times is a great place for lunch or a Friday afternoon beer for those that work in the Financial District. The times is also great for sports fans because their outdoor patio along Atlantic Avenue also has TVs. Talk about the perfect place to watch a baseball game outside of Fenway. The Times has a great menu featuring mouth-watering sandwiches and burgers.
The Landing is a seasonal, all outdoor bar that is one of the most fun patio bars in the Boston Area. Right along the harbor in Boston's Waterfront, not far from the New England Aquarium, The Landing plays great music, serves cocktails with neon straws, and buckets of Corona. The Landing is the epitome of summer. Sunny weekend days are the prefect times to relax at The Landing. However, because of city noise ordinances, the bar typically closes around 10 p.m.
