At the heart of the Deep South, Atlanta<\/a>\u2019s called Hot-lanta for a reason: the summer swelter brings most outdoor diners to the safety of indoor air conditioning. But when the weather is nice, it\u2019s well worth dining outside in the City in the Woods. From high-brow eateries on the riverfront to cozy garden-esque brunch spots, there are plenty of outdoor dining options for your Atlanta eaters to enjoy the scenery, some good food, and good company.<\/p>\n

We may be biased, but we at Falcon Charter Bus believe that leaving the transportation to the pros is the best way to take in Atlanta\u2019s outdoor dining scene. Instead of arranging a carpool, hailing multiple rideshares, or having to navigate MARTA after a few glasses of wine, a reliable charter bus or minibus shuttle<\/a> will be waiting for you\u2014no matter where you dine.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Bread & Butterfly<\/h2>\n

Address: <\/strong>290 Elizabeth St NE F, Atlanta, GA 30307<\/p>\n

Atlanta loves to brunch, but very few places in town provide a brunch experience quite like this trendy cafe. While this French-inspired bistro offers a variety of innovative, locally sourced plates into the late evening, the breakfast menu here truly shines. Drop by any day except Monday to dig into omelettes du jour, soft scrambled eggs and cold-smoked trout, quiche, pancakes, or a drool-worthy steak and eggs plate with mixed greens.<\/p>\n

When it comes to seating, your brunch enthusiasts will have their choice of the bright and airy sunroom or the spacious patio. The only downside? As of this writing (June 2021), B&B is not taking reservations, so you\u2019ll likely need to get there early and pull up a table or two if your group would like to dine together.<\/p>\n

Charter bus rental tip: <\/strong>Street parking in Inman Quarter can fill up quickly\u2014so rather than driving and parking a bunch of cars, renting a motorcoach<\/a> may be a better alternative. Your driver can drop everyone off within walking distance of this popular bistro and be ready to pick everyone up once they\u2019ve had their fill of brunch-time favorites.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Canoe<\/h2>\n

Address: <\/strong>4199 Paces Ferry Rd SE, Atlanta, GA 30339<\/p>\n

Canoe is a local favorite for rehearsal dinners and private family dinners out\u2014and for good reason. This New American restaurant offers elegant farm-to-table dishes, such as seasonal charcuterie selections, house-smoked salmon, and slow-roasted lamb ribs. To top it all off, this high-end restaurant offers one of the best patio views in the city, overlooking the Chattahoochee River.<\/p>\n

What really makes this place stand out, though? The River Garden, which doubles as an event venue for weddings, fundraisers, and large-scale soirees year-round! The outdoor space can accommodate between 30 to 140 guests inside the luxury garden tent\u2014positioned on brick pavers with a tent liner, chandeliers on dimmer switches, and pole curtains. When you contact Canoe to reserve the space, be sure to inquire about the live entertainment package and in-tent climate control to keep your guests comfortable.<\/p>\n

Charter bus rental tip:<\/strong> Rather than having your guests have to worry about parking in Canoe\u2019s small lot, reserve a shuttle service on your wedding day<\/a>. That way, you won\u2019t be bombarded with a dozen \u201cWhere\u2019s the venue?\u201d texts on your big day and no one will arrive late to your ceremony or reception.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Bar Mercado<\/h2>\n

Address: <\/strong>99-V, Krog St NE, Atlanta, GA 30307<\/p>\n

Krog Street Market\u2019s fall hall is definitely worth visiting if you\u2019re hungry and traveling with a crowd that has diverse palates\u2014but this vendor in particular is an excellent choice if you want to dine al fresco.<\/p>\n

Bar Mercado has started pivoting from Spanish cuisine to a more Latin-inspired menu in recent years, so your dinner party can chow down on a variety of small plates like paella, street corn, sweet plantains with crema, and provoleta. In any case, you can expect an eclectic and airy atmosphere and a rotation of weekly drink specials if you choose to stop here for drinks after work or a casual weekend get-together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall<\/h2>\n

Address: <\/strong>684 John Wesley Dobbs Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30312<\/p>\n

If your group has worked up an appetite after a stroll along the Beltline\u2014one of ATL\u2019s most popular greenspaces\u2014consider stopping at this quaint patio space on mile marker 9.25 of the Eastside Trail. This casual New American joint caters to those nostalgic for the days of summer camp, serving up dishes it dubs \u201celevated campfire cuisine\u201d in dining spaces like screened porches and picnic-style tables with umbrellas.<\/p>\n

The adults in your crowd won\u2019t want to pass up ordering a local craft beer, wine, and cocktails from the outdoor bar made out of a vintage camper. Aside from drinks, Ladybird specializes in sharable plates. Oh, and did we mention it\u2019s dog-friendly? Bring your pups and cozy up next to a fire pit for pimento cheese fritters, homemade jerky, or their famous backyard BBQ board.<\/p>\n

Want the space all to yourself? Ladybird can accommodate parties and events of all sizes, so swing by for a relaxed office luncheon or a few brews with your extended family.<\/p>\n

\"Three<\/p>\n

Anis Cafe and Bistro<\/h2>\n

Address: <\/strong>2974 Grandview Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30305<\/p>\n

On a quiet side street in Buckhead, you\u2019ll find this charming bistro in a converted house that\u2019s been renovated to look like a French Provincial home. Dine on rustic French cuisine like croque monsieur with Black Forest ham or truite meuni\u00e8re with roasted artichokes amid Parisian decor and weekly live Brazilian jazz.<\/p>\n

As for the patio space, Anis goes out of its way to make the outdoor dining section as romantic as possible. Groups can reserve the garden-like balcony space or the full ground-floor patio along with a three-course meal and bar access.<\/p>\n

Charter bus rental tip:<\/strong> Worried about your dinner guests getting home after too many glasses of French wine? We recommend reserving a minibus shuttle to act as your DD for the evening. A professional bus driver will ensure everyone has a reliable ride home, and your guests can relax in a comfortable cabin rather than wait on the curb for multiple rideshares to show up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bangkok Station<\/h2>\n

Address: <\/strong>550 Pharr Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30305<\/p>\n

Wanting Thai food? Atlanta has plenty of eateries to satisfy your cravings. Wanting Thai food in an outdoor setting? Few places offer a patio as picturesque as Bangkok Station!<\/p>\n

This Buckhead haunt serves up authentic Thai dishes with a modern twist. Your diners are sure to be charmed by the railroad-inspired decor and warm ambiance, but the patio is really where this restaurant\u2019s atmosphere shines. The outdoor dining space here is open and airy, with furniture that looks like it was pulled from the pages of a Restoration Hardware catalog. Dining groups who frequent Bangkok Station love spreading out across the tables, ordering a round of tropical cocktails for the table, and enjoying plates of boat noodles, massaman curry, lemongrass soup, or matcha green tea cheesecake.<\/p>\n
