Nice Weather Brings Patio Dining at Weber Grill Restaurants

Local forecasters are predicting 70-degree weather this weekend and with that comes the arrival of alfresco dining. Weber Grill Restaurants are prepping for nice weather by readying their patios in Chicago, Lombard and Schaumburg.

In Chicago, Weber Grill Restaurant (539 N. State Street) has remodeled their popular State Street patio adding a new perimeter fence, lighting, patio furniture, outdoor fans, and heat lamps to extend the season. The outdoor area can accommodate 75 guests for alfresco dining.

In the suburbs, Weber Grill's 50-seat patio in Lombard (2331 Fountain Square) offers a view of the beautiful Fountain Square Pond and features a pergola with romantic string lighting. Encompassing the entire front facade of the restaurant, the patio at Weber Grill in Schaumburg (1010 N. Meacham Rd) includes an outdoor fire-pit, a large wall-mounted fireplace and comfortably seats 50 guests.

In celebration of the warmer weather, all Weber Grill Restaurant locations will launch a seasonal drink menu in conjunction with the patio openings. Highlights include Weber's homemade Red Sangria ($8 glass; $31 pitcher) and Seasonal Sangria ($8.50 glass; $33 pitcher) as well as cocktails like the Dear Delilah (Death's Door Gin, St-Germain, Combier Pamplemousse Rose, fresh grapefruit juice, orange bitters, ginger beer; $10), and the Tiki Bandit (Bacardi 8-Year Rum, Cruzan Pineapple Rum, Gosling's Black Seal Rum, orgeat, pineapple juice, passionfruit syrup and ginger beer, served in a traditional tiki mug; $11.50).
