At certain times of the year, you’ve got to take advantage of the area’s bountiful outdoor dining – from a tranquil oasis to an idyllic al fresco!
If you haven’t been back through the neighborhoods of Springfield to this little clandestine restaurant – it’s next on your list! While the interior may be small, their outdoor Peacock Garden has plenty of seating. The walls are covered in colorful and vibrant artwork, creating perfect backdrops for your foodie photos! Dine al fresco under their covered patio and enjoy tasty plates in the beautiful Florida weather.
The District even has patio tents and geodomes for those looking for an extra private touch to their garden picnic. Patrons should be warned, however, that while there are secluded aspects to The District – it’s growing in popularity. Beware of weekend brunches and popular times when the crowds come!

At the Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar, the outdoor space feels like a mini escape right in the middle of Town Center.

The open-air setting pairs effortlessly with live music and daily happy hour, creating an easygoing energy that invites you to linger a little longer. Whether you are stopping in for a quick drink or settling in for the afternoon, this spot brings a touch of vacation to your everyday routine.

We love a little German biergarten on a fall afternoon, and Buchner’s hidden speakeasy style location is the perfect pairing of secret garden and German beer! With an entrance through Black Hat Vapor, Buchner’s Bierhalle has classic European pub vibes with an expansive outdoor biergarten in the back. Nestled in the heart of Murray Hill, this little nondescript “Ratskeller” manages to be in a prime location without being too obvious.

While there is nothing secret about the absolutely stunning garden behind the Cummer art museum, many people don’t know about their Friday Night Picnics!
Patrons can enjoy the outdoor garden on a clear night with al fresco dining with a picnic. Bag lunches are included with the admission, featuring menu items made from the Cummer café. Bring your own blanket and post up on a secluded spot within their 1.45-acre property. Enjoy wine and bask in the breeze off the St. Johns River during a romantic night downtown with your favorite company.
