The best seats in the Mound are all outside — a ranch stage, an open-air truckyard, and two wine patios built for golden hour.
Flower Mound, Lewisville, and Highland Village know their way around a patio. Five outdoor spots worth clearing an afternoon for.
The shortlist
Marty B’s. A sprawling Texas backyard with fire pits, a rooftop, and an outdoor stage that pulls real touring country acts. The patio isn’t a feature here — it’s the whole show. Bring the crew.
Buffalo Hirsch Cocktail Truckyard. Old Town’s open-air truckyard with two bars, tap cocktails, and permanent food trucks. There’s effectively no indoor room, which is the point. Come hungry and stay a while.
Sip + Savor. A dressed-up wine-garden patio under a pergola and string lights — the kind of golden-hour spot made for a slow glass and a grazing board. Date night, sorted.
The Tavern at Lakeside. The biggest, liveliest patio in the Lakeside village — covered, heated and fanned for year-round use, pet-friendly, and buzzing. This is the meet-everyone-here table.
Clink Wine Bar + Bites. Sommelier-owned, with wine on tap and a fire-pit patio that’s the classiest sip-and-graze in Lakeside. Pull up a chair for a pour and some bubbles.
Save this for your next patio day.
