With a ton of seating, a covered area, and umbrellas galore, the wraparound patio at Cactus Club Cafe’s Coquitlam location is a great spot to kick back and relax on a warm summer’s day.

JOEY – Coquitlam
JOEY Coquitlam’s casual 79-seat patio is prime real estate on a sunny day. The L-shaped, open air spot features a fire pit and over head lamps, which provide just the right amount of light for when an afternoon of drinking turns into an evening of drinking.

The Gillnetter Pub
Sitting on the banks of the Pitt River, the patio at the Gillnetter is a local favourite. With a seafood forward menu, as well as traditional pub classics, it’s the perfect spot (if you’re 19+) to sit and sip the afternoon away. They even have an AYCE breakfast buffet on Sundays for $13.95.
Address: 1864 Argue Street, Port Coquitlam
Earls Port Coquitlam
Earls Poco is a popular spot for sun seekers. The 140-seat patio offers endless sunshine and a relaxed vibe. Under strung up lanterns and umbrellas, enjoy Earls’ solid menu choices, along with a refreshing beverage or two.

The Burke Beer House
