Reasons to raise a glass on the terrace
A moment of calm in the buzzing city centre
A busy city is a perfect destination no matter what the season. From soaking up the culture with art galleries and museums to taking in the scenic sweeping skylines and historical landmarks, there's a never-ending list of things to do. But when you need a little pause from the hustle and bustle, a terrace pub can provide a tranquil oasis. Grab a drink or a bite to eat and watch the world go by.
A summer's day soaking up the warmth
Hot days can be a rarity, so don't spend them indoors. Terrace pubs are the place to be on a summer's day, with fresh air and blue skies overhead. Order a round of cocktails to embrace the warm temperatures and toast to a day well spent.
A pint with a picturesque view
Terrace pubs can be a true sensory experience, from the feeling of the warm sunshine on your skin to the smell of the fresh air and the sound of nature around you. And when it comes to the visual, a scenic view never hurts. From waterside gems to rooftop treats, head outside and drink it all in.
Sunday lunch with a side of fresh air
What better way to wind down from a big weekend than with a Sunday roast? And to make it even more special, why not enjoy a full plate in the open air? With some of our cosy pub terraces adorned with soft twinkling lights and flower boxes bursting with colourful blooms, you’ll feel as though you’re tucking into golden roasties in a Mediterranean taverna...
Celebratory cocktails with loved ones
New job? Milestone birthday? Or just celebrating successfully finding a date that works for everyone's diaries? We'll drink to that! A refreshing sip of something special is a true treat and it's made even better outdoors. Our Greene King pubs have a drink menu with plenty to please, from wines and cocktails to our iconic range of beers, spirits and soft drinks.
