While we may be complaining about the hot temps right now, in no time we’ll be missing these sunny days and trying to find a heated patio to dine outside. Covered patios are a scoop girl’s must for dining al fresco, and Charlotte is full of them. We’ve rounded up a list of over 50 places to stay shady while grabbing a bite or a drink in the QC.
