Last week, we asked you to tell us about the best patios in Chattanooga now that the weather is getting warmer.

It turns out, NOOGA has some great patios for sipping a cold beer, cocktail (maybe an Aperol Spritz?) + enjoying a nice dinner. Some patios are even great for quiet reading + others are great for big groups of loud people.

We’ll be using your responses to create a guide to patios in the near future. In the meantime, here are some of your responses. We can’t wait to kick up our feet and bask in the sunshine. ☀️
