Patio season is officially here and I'm so excited! There's nothing quite like being able to sit outside with a drink, maybe some food, and good company on a nice summer day in Minnesota. We don't have much time for summer weather, so we have to take full advantage of it.

One spot in Rochester where we can enjoy a nice patio scene is at Forager Brewery. Which, by the way, Forager doesn't just serve beer, they also have a full food menu.

Their patio, which is on the left side of the building, is a cozy spot where you'll sometimes get to hear live music. But not only that, they just opened up a little spot on the patio call the 'Kids Corner'.

Patio in Rochester, MN Good for Kids

The 'Kids Corner' is a spot out on the Forager patio with outdoor kids toys. It's the perfect spot for the kiddos to mess around, have some fun with other kids, and get the ants out of their pants while mom and dad have a beer and enjoy the nice weather.

I think this is a genius idea. I'm not sure if they've done this in the past, but it's great.

Another patio that's great for kids is at Little Thistle brewing. They've got a huge outdoor area with plenty of space, but they don't have the kids toys like they do at Forager.

Even though not many patios have a set up quite like this one, there are plenty of patios in Rochester that are a must-visit during patio season. Check them out below.
