Outdoor dining season used to be tragically short here in Washington… and suddenly, over the last year, it has become a year-round way of living. With heated patios, illuminated tents, and decked out igloos popping up all over the state, it’s safe to say that creative outdoor dining is here to stay, at least for the time being.
Redmond’s Malt & Vine recently debuted their new outdoor seating area, and it’s fantastic. In addition to sipping on some of the best local craft beer and boutique wines, you can feast on takeout from plenty of neighborhood restaurants.
Malt & Vine is a specialty beer and wine shop you'll find in downtown Redmond.
For the better part of a decade, this neighborhood gem has been a favorite stop for locals looking to purchase some of the best local beer and wine in one stop.
At any given time, there are 44 specialty brews on tap.
This is more than just a retail shop, however -- it's a community gathering space. And when current restrictions started to limit indoor gathering, the team came up with a creative idea.

Recently, the team at Malt & Vine debuted their new outdoor tented patio, and it's fantastic.
This is the largest outdoor drinking area in Redmond. It's located behind the building, and it's nothing fancy -- you'll definitely want to bundle up. But it does allow for safe, fun social gatherings.
The best part of this experience -- other than the fact that you'll be dining somewhere other than your living room -- is that everyone can find something they want.
In addition to the hundreds of options for libations and the small food menu here, you can order takeout from quite a few neighborhood restaurants and enjoy it here.
Dough Zone Dumpling House is always a solid choice.
