Juicy Wine Company (694 N Milwaukee Ave, 312-492-6620) Could our favorite wine bar get any better? Yep. Starting this month, it’ll open a rooftop patio, where you’ll find casual deck seating, potted herbs and a fat-daddy grill turning out simple classics from veggie kebabs to sausages meant to pair with cocktail specials. —Heather Shouse
Crust (2056 W Division St, 773-235-5511) Recipe for a flavorful patio party: Start with Rain organic vodka, add organic ingredients like honey and bergamot. Wait a week or two for the flavors to infuse, then pour over ice and serve to the pizza-scarfing crowd filling the tables in the serene, planter-lined back patio. —Heather Shouse
Tepatulco (2558 N Halsted St, 773-472-7419) Las Fuentes (the Mexican joint that called this address home before Tepatulco moved in) was more known for its big, brightly colored patio than for its food. But now the space competes for attention with this swanky restaurant’s famously delicious margaritas. —David Tamarkin
