Best Bar Patio: Truck Yard

Houston is a clever place, which is why Truck Yard fits in nicely. Strategically placed shipping containers and colorful patio seating options, some fashioned from old truck beds, set the mood immediately. Live music is played off a stage fashioned out of a trailer on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and, when there isn’t a band, the playlist is tried and true.

Inside, their cheesesteak kitchen cranks out Phillies, while outside, food trucks pop-up. Cornhole, Skee-Ball, Ping Pong, they even have a Ferris wheel ride and drink special (operational Thursday through Sunday.) Thirty beers on tap and an old-school cigarette machine—that works. Truck Yard has a great bar patio with a touch of twang, located just outside of downtown.
