Patio Season is Calling! Join Us at Founding Farmers

There’s a special kind of magic that happens when spring hits the DMV. The cherry blossoms bloom, the sun lingers a little longer, and suddenly, dining al fresco becomes the only way to eat. At Founding Farmers, we welcome the season with open arms, open umbrellas, and our signature scratch-made food served on some of the best patios in the DMV. Whether you’re wandering through the heart of DC, heading out to NoVA, or exploring the charm of suburban Maryland, our patios are the perfect spot to soak in the season. Sip a cocktail from our in-house distillery, catch up with friends over brunch, or linger a little longer over dinner as the sun sets. 

Best Outdoor Dining in Washington, DC

In Foggy Bottom, just steps from the White House and GWU, our DC flagship has a spacious outdoor patio that makes for the ideal city escape. Lined with umbrellas and equipped with heaters for those breezy spring nights, it’s a prime spot to people-watch, toast with coworkers, or simply enjoy a moment of calm in the bustle of downtown. 

Craving a cozy fire pit moment? Just head over to our Founding Farmers & Distillers patio, nestled near the Convention Center and Capital One Arena, which is perfect for small groups, impromptu happy hours, or date nights that deserve a little extra glow.  

If waterfront dining is calling your name, nothing beats our Georgetown patio at Founding Farmers Fishers & Bakers. Sitting right on the Potomac, this year-round patio (yes, rain or shine!) is made for long brunches, sunset cocktails, and laid-back dinners with views that never get old.  

Relax & Dine Outdoors in Maryland 

And just off I-270 in Potomac, MoCo’s Founding Farmers offers one of the most versatile outdoor dining patios in Maryland. This expansive, all-weather patio that’s ready for any kind of forecast — think fans, heaters, retractable sides, and a louvered roof for perfect comfort, no matter the weather. With lush greenery, planters, and speakers for music, it’s the kind of space that invites you to stay a while.

So, as the days grow warmer and the skies a little sunnier, consider this your official invitation to join us outside. No matter which Founding Farmers location you visit, our patios are open, our food is fresh, and the good times are just getting started.
