Peter’s Inn
Just like the inside, Peter’s doesn’t sport a ton of tables outside either, so timing is key in ensuring you get a spot at one of the best off-the-beaten-path restaurants in Fell’s Point once the weather warms. (504 S Ann St.; 410-675-7313)

Nanami Cafe
While we love the nod toward authenticity in its interior, we also adore the ability to watch the sunset (or occasionally the drunk revelers departing from an adult Urban Pirates cruise) overlooking the water from Ann Street. (907 S Ann St.; 410-327-9400)

Alexander’s Tavern
Craft beer, tater tots and pizza (as well as pretty fantastic service every time we’ve visited) are the draw to Alexander’s. We’re even more attracted to drink and dine here when the outdoor tables make the experience an al fresco one. (710 S Broadway; 410-522-0000)

Todd Conner’s
This corner spot on Broadway is a staple for juicy burgers and creamy mac and cheese, and the beer selection is routinely on point. Quality varieties of wine are always available, and the rotating list of cleverly named cocktails is always the first menu we check upon arrival. (700 S Broadway; 410-537-5005)

RA Sushi
While we love the high energy ambiance inside RA Sushi, the outdoor dining features the same artistically prepared fish in a little lower key environment. The seasonal cocktails, as well as the signature staples, are always delicious, and RA Sushi regularly switches up specials to keep happy hour interesting. (390 Lancaster St.; 410-522-3200)

Kali’s Court
Kali’s has long been a fine dining destination, and one of the most inviting parts of the place is its gorgeous outdoor dining area. Adorned with flowers and vines, the garden-style seating area is directly on Thames Street but separated just enough by the outdoor decor to ensure a serene dining experience. (1606 Thames St.; 410-276-4700)

Max’s Taphouse
With more beer on tap and in bottles than any other bar in Baltimore, we can’t think of a better place to enjoy a cold beer outside. Bonus for tobacco-lovers: Many cigars are routinely enjoyed at the high top tables lining the Broadway side of the popular corner bar. (737 S Broadway; 410-675-6297)

Riptide by the Bay
If sitting in a breezeway while cracking crabs sounds a little odd, think again. This tiny joint has maximized its space by building tables in the space that separates it from the adjacent building, and we couldn’t love it more. It’s particularly perfect on those warm days when being in direct sunlight while dining isn’t optimal. (1718 Thames St.; 410-732-3474)

Tapas Adela
With three varieties of sangria and impressive cocktails, Adela is a shoo-in for best spot to sip al fresco. Nosh on small plates, people-watch and enjoy the water view as well. (814 S Broadway; 410-534-6262)

Dog Watch Tavern
Pub grub and good beer is the name of the game at Dog Watch Tavern, and there are a handful of seats outside to enjoy both. (709 S Broadway; 410-276-6030)

Papi’s Tacos
This street taco hotspot opened in 2014 and is booming with business each time we pass by. Thankfully, the warmer weather should make getting a seat (and a margarita) a little easier with the addition of outdoor tables. (1703 Aliceanna St.; 410-299-8480)

Duda’s Tavern
A corner dive bar (in the very best way), Duda’s is affordable and ideal for a laid back night of throwing back plenty of beers and tasty crab cakes. (1600 Thames St.; 410-276-9719)
