This Is the Best Outdoor Bar in Your State, According to Yelp

It's now officially summer and after one of the longest winters we've seen in awhile, we're all eager to get outside again and enjoy a nice, cold beverage. Whether you're more of a beer garden type or you enjoy a summer spritz at a lounge, there's nothing quite like taking in nature with your nearest and dearest and sipping on something delicious. Before you make your next date night or happy hour plans, we decided to work with our friends at Yelp to curate a list of the best outdoor bar in each and every corner of the U.S.

To come up with the definitive list of the the best outdoor bar in each state, Yelp identified businesses in the bars category with a large concentration of reviews mentioning relevant keywords, then ranked those spots using a number of factors, including the total volume of reviews mentioning the related keywords and the overall ratings. (All businesses were marked open on Yelp as of June 9 and, where the information was available, all businesses on this list have a passing health score as of June 9.) So, if you're looking for a new spot for your weekly wine night or to catch up with friends and family you haven't seen in awhile, read on to find out the best outdoor bar in your state, according to Yelp users like you.
