During late summer in Beavercreek, we cling to being outdoors, enjoying every precious moment before the chilly winds of fall blow. One of the best ways to savor the "outdoors" in an urban setting is to dine outside on a restaurant patio. What's not to like about breathing in the fresh air at one of your favorite restaurants, reveling in a night out with family and friends? After all, it's a thing we may have hesitated to do over the last couple of years.

So let's get outside and get going. Here are some great choices near that home you settled in from Beavercreek homes for sale.

1. Melt Bar and Grilled. 2733 Fairfield Commons Unit C, Beavercreek
   This is the eighth location for this Ohio franchise, and it's no wonder why it's so popular. Located at The Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek, Melt Bar and Grilled offers 5000 square feet of restaurant to spread out in. Enjoy craft beer, signature cocktails, grilled cheese creations, or "comfort food, all dressed up," as the founder of Melt, Matt Fish says of his gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. No patio, but they have some big spaces for parties and hey, enough craft beer choices and grilled cheese, and you'll feel as good as if you were outdoors. Hint: If your appetite is on the small side, opt for the half a Melt. It'll be plenty.
   
   
2. Wandering Griffin Brewery and Restaurant, 3725 Presidential Drive, Beavercreek 
   Need some space around you? Wandering Griffin Brewery and Restaurant is the place. An expansive patio provides the room you need to feel comfortable. Try one or more craft beers, and sample the scrumptious pub fare from the menu: pizza, wings, giant Baked Bavarian Pretzel, burgers, crawfish boil, and much more. Get cans to go or drink from the taproom.
   
   
3. The Pub. Beavercreek. The Greene Town Center. 39 Greene Blvd.
   One of Beavercreek's most popular pubs, The Pub immerses you in British ambience. Food is brilliant, including award-winning Fish and Chips. Enjoy one of the seasonal menus, such as late summer's offerings of Corn and Black Bean Nachos, Barbecue Chicken Platter plus Triple Berry Trifle. The Pub's facilities are large and can accommodate your party: private and semi-private for 12-60, or on the patio, 40 can sit down for dinner, or 60, cocktail style.
   
   
4. Brio Italian Grille. The Green, 4459 Cedar Park Drive, Dayton
   Brio Italian Grille specializes in gatherings of any size, with private and semi-private dining rooms. Fresh ingredients are the hallmark of Brio's menu. From Sunday brunch to daily specials, Brio aims to please — and then some. The dinner menu includes soup and salad, bread, fancy Pasta Brio, and other pasta dishes, plus fabulous dishes from land and sea.
   
   
5. Club Oceano Seafood. 4429 Cedar Park Dr. Beavercreek
   What could be better for winding out the summer than Cajun Style Fresh Seafood Boil in a friendly environment? What sets Club Oceano Seafood apart is the blending of Cajun seafood boil and Southern-style spices in a one-of-a-kind taste — with a little twist of Asia thrown in. All this, and there's a nice patio too.
   
   
6. Condado Tacos, 4482 Glengarry Dr., Beavercreek
   You won't find a better venue for end-of-summer fun than Condado Tacos: just look at the margarita menu, with La Verdita, Guava Lemonada, and hibiscus-tinted Jamaica. Then there's the food, with Mango Guac and a Chicken Bacon Ranch Taco. If that doesn't suit, there's much more in the way of delicious, build-your-own tacos (Beef Brisket, Steak, Chorizo) and Tequila and Sangria.
