Typically, Austin doesn’t get that much chilly weather, but sometimes, just sometimes, temperatures do dip, which means it’s time to turn the heat up. That’s when it’s the perfect time to enjoy fireplaces and firepits at Austin restaurants and bars, for those who choose to dine out.

Warm up with Eater’s picks for the city’s best restaurants with amazing fireplaces and outdoor firepits (it is Austin, after all). Find an elegant one at Jeffrey’s, seek out comfort food and flames at Moonshine Patio Bar & Grill, explore the sleek fires over at the Living Room, and others.

Other ways to stay toasty include indulging in hot cocktails, cups of coffee, tea, and hot chocolates.

Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission. The latest CDC guidance is here; find a COVID-19 vaccination site here.
