🍂 The Best Patios for Fall Weather in Oklahoma City & Edmond

When the Oklahoma heat finally breaks and the evenings turn crisp, there’s nothing better than patio season in OKC.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, showing family the Oklahoma City lifestyle, or just soaking up the fall breeze, these local favorites offer some of the best outdoor dining experiences across the metro. As a Realtor who spends plenty of time exploring both Edmond and Oklahoma City, I’ve rounded up my personal go-tos for the perfect fall patio lineup.

🌮 OSO Paseo – Artsy Vibes & Flavorful Favorites

Location: 603 NW 28th Street, Oklahoma City (Paseo Arts District)
Website: osopaseo.com

Nestled in the colorful Paseo Arts District, OSO Paseo is the perfect mix of local energy and laid-back charm. The patio is a true Oklahoma City gem — surrounded by art galleries, vibrant colors, and string lights that make every evening feel like a getaway.

What to Order:
These are my tried-and-true favorites at OSO:

• Ahi Tuna Tostadas – light, crispy, and perfectly fresh

• Chicken Taco Salad – hearty but refreshing, especially on a sunny fall afternoon

• Steak Street Taco – a must-try for taco lovers

• Fried Avocado Taco – crisp, creamy perfection that even non-vegetarians love

OSO is also great for a casual meet-up after exploring Paseo’s art galleries, boutiques, or grabbing coffee nearby. It’s one of those spots that truly captures the creative, welcoming side of Oklahoma City.

🍸 Frida Southwest – Elevated Dining & Southwest Soul

Location: 500 Paseo, Oklahoma City (Paseo Arts District)
Website: fridasouthwest.com

If OSO Paseo is your casual patio escape, Frida Southwest is your chic fall evening destination. The atmosphere feels like a mix between Santa Fe and downtown OKC — upscale yet cozy, modern yet full of warmth.

The seasonal menu and craft cocktail selection here are unmatched. Whether you’re out for a date night, celebrating a milestone, or showing friends and family the city’s upscale dining scene, Frida never disappoints.

What to Order:
You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but my personal favorites are:

• Tortilla Soup – rich, flavorful, and perfect for cooler weather

• Short Rib Empanadas – trust me, they are SO good

•  Sea Bass or Salmon – always cooked to perfection

• Seafood Tamales – unique, savory, and beautifully plated

Frida is one of those “this is why we love living here” places — elegant, inviting, and full of that fall-in-OKC charm.

🎶 The Jones Assembly – Music, Food & Downtown Energy

Location: 901 W Sheridan Ave., Oklahoma City (Film Row / Downtown)
Website: thejonesassembly.com

The Jones Assembly is an Oklahoma City staple — part restaurant, part live-music venue, and always buzzing with energy. The patio feels like the perfect blend of industrial chic and cozy comfort, especially when the temperature drops.

The menu has something for everyone, from wood-fired pizzas to craft cocktails, and their brunch scene is just as good as their evening lineup.

✨ Pro Tip: Before you go, check the concert schedule — The Jones hosts incredible live shows throughout the season, and catching one under the fall sky on the patio is an experience you won’t forget.  

Whether you’re downtown for a night out or just want to show clients the heart of Oklahoma City’s entertainment scene, this spot delivers every time.

🍻 The Big Friendly – Relaxed & Family-Friendly in the Wheeler District

Location: 1737 Spencer Ave., Oklahoma City (Wheeler District)
Website: thebigfriendly.com

If you’re looking for something more laid-back and local, The Big Friendly is a must. Set in the Wheeler District — one of Oklahoma City’s fastest-growing and most community-driven neighborhoods — this brewery’s spacious patio feels like an autumn afternoon dream.

It’s ideal for families, friends, and pups (yes, it’s dog-friendly!) with plenty of outdoor seating, picnic tables, and string lights that make every evening feel warm and welcoming.

Hungry? Grab something from one of my nearby food favorites:

• Taco Nation – for street tacos with big flavor

• Akai Sushi – fresh rolls that pair perfectly with a local craft beer

It’s easy to spend hours here — kids playing nearby, adults chatting over pints, and everyone soaking up that unbeatable Oklahoma sunset.

🍂 A Few More Local Patio Gems Worth Mentioning

If you’re in Edmond or exploring nearby, try:

• The Mule (Downtown Edmond) – classic comfort food and a lively patio perfect for Sunday afternoons.

• Pub W (off Covell or Memorial) – a go-to Edmond favorite for families and date nights alike.

• Neighborhood Jam – for brunch lovers who want that fresh fall air with their pancakes and coffee.
