Here at StyleBlueprint, we continue to be asked specifically about restaurants that offer heated open-air dining options, so we decided to round up the local options where you can find just that. From firepits to lap blankets, these Nashville restaurants are getting creative in their quest to keep us toasty AND well-fed. We arranged things by neighborhood (Hillsboro Village, 12South, Downtown, The Gulch, etc.) and focused on restaurants offering open-air with heaters or enclosed spaces that are available on an individual party basis (igloos, for example).

Grab a coat and bring your appetite; here are some heated restaurant patios in Nashville where you can enjoy your next meal!
