"Spanning 12,000 square feet, Axelrad’s eclectic open-air patio is a hub of outdoor entertainment — or relaxation, should you choose. The local watering hole is outfitted with a beer garden with sculptures and art installations and a community event space that showcases live music and film screenings. There’s plenty of seating at its patio picnic tables, but things get extra cozy in the colorful hammock grove. Take advantage of its extra-long happy hour, which runs from noon to 7 p.m. on weekdays and features $3 mimosas and featured beers, $4 wells, $5 frozen drinks, and $6 Michel-Rad-As." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
