9 Rockford Restaurant Patios You Have to Experience this Spring

Warm weather days are upon us and if we're lucky, we get about 90 all year where we can spend time outdoors from sun up to sundown.

And I can't think of a better way to spend those days than on a patio with lawn games, live music, food and ice cold adult beverages.

Can't you just picture it now? Drinks in the breeze while the sun kisses your face; reggae music plays in the distance while you indulge in finger foods and laugh with your girlfriends...it's the perfect spring or summer Saturday afternoon that turns into an all-nighter.

Patios really are the best and these 9 are the best that Rockford restaurants have to offer. Disclosure: Actual patio is not featured in the photos.
