"The bar- and music-centric venue sports an inviting heated patio, which is open year-round, and big booths to accommodate groups. Guests can enjoy tacos and an extensive collection of mezcals and tequilas while listening to live DJ sets. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson

"Pilsen Yards has a great back patio with a retractable roof, lots of heaters, and even a heated floor. Come here for drinks and dishes like sweet corn tamales and ceviche. You won’t even notice that it’s technically still winter." - adrian kane
"The secluded outdoor space at the closed Monty Burke’s in Pilsen was fantastic, so we were happy that Pilsen Yards recently took over the space and re-did the back patio. They added heated floors and a retractable roof. Now you can come here for drinks and dishes like sweet corn tamales and ceviche. You won’t even need to change your plans if it rains." - adrian kane
"The secluded outdoor space at the now-closed Monty Burke’s in Pilsen was fantastic, so we were happy when we heard Pilsen Yards took over the space. The patio now has a covering, a bar, and the restaurant hosts “hangover vinyl brunches,” which include vinyl, brunch dishes like breakfast burritos, chilaquiles, and pineapple concha toast, and hopefully not too many hangovers." - adrian kane
"Pilsen Yards is a mostly Mexican spot that recently took over the Monnie Burke’s space in Pilsen. Monnie’s had a great back patio, and Pilsen Yards has taken full advantage. They added a retractable roof, lots of heaters, and installed a heated floor. This restaurant has a very detailed IG post letting you know how warm the patio feels based on the temperature outside. During single digits, it felt about 60 degrees. So, by our calculations this week it will feel like the Spring Break you’re not going on this year." - adrian kane
