Patterson Park is a sprawling Heights patio bar with skyline views, craft drinks, rotating food trucks, games, and a dog-friendly vibe.
"Arguably one of the best patios in town with a sprawling 5,000-square-foot treehouse deck and a killer skyline view, look no further for a one-stop shop for your sports viewing pleasure. Drink specials include its Walk in the Park — a cooling Hornitos Reposado tequila, cucumber, chili mint, lime concoction, or the bar’s signature Ranch Water. On game days, the bar is packed with food trucks for when the munchies hit. Best of all, the bar is dog-friendly." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Nestled among the live oaks located along the White Oak Bayou Trail, this Heights patio bar is appropriately coined the “Treehouse on the Trail” and spans 9,000-square-feet across three levels. Though there isn’t a bad seat in the house, consider the top-most deck for 360-degree nature views and supreme people watching. With revolving food trucks parked on site, and themed cocktails like the Treehouse Gimlet, Patterson Park is the quintessential patio hangout." - Brittany Britto Garley, Megha McSwain
"If you find yourself reminiscing about the good ‘ole days and absolutely need a frozen mojito, head to Patterson Park in The Heights. Not only is the bar reminiscent of a giant tree house, but it’s also where you can check out the downtown skyline without battling through traffic. And when you’re not soaking up the views, go to the first floor and play giant tic-tac-toe, or grab a bite from whatever food truck is parked outside." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas

"This new venue has raised the bar (no pun intended) on the patio. The main deck with a wide selection of beers and cocktails available at the indoor-outdoor bar, an upper deck with Downtown skyline views, and the stadium seating of the food truck amphitheater all mean there’s no lack of options to find the right spot for you and your pup. Before or after grabbing a drink, stop in for a bite from the food truck of the day, then find a place to settle in. With bigger dogs, opt for seating near the perimeter railing or at the outdoor bar facing the lush trees that line White Oak Bayou trail." - Brian Gaither, Brittany Britto Garley
