The winner should come as no surprise, as they’ve topped a variety of patio lists in the past, and still remain a popular outdoor dining option. The patio at Barcelona rose above the rest in our poll with it’s soft seasonal lighting, abundance of greenspace, and soothing background noise emanating from its cozy location in German Village.
