Now that the weather is finally warming up, it's time to start drinking and dining outside. This year, we've rounded up even more of our favorite spots for patio dining in the QCA. So put down the barbecue tongs, and hit up one of these restaurants the next time you're in the mood to dine al fresco.

Enjoy one of Brew's tasty sandwiches or an ice cold beer while sitting under their twinkling patio lights. The East Village has many great spots, and Brew's outdoor patio area makes them a must stop.

Location: 1104 Jersey Ridge Road, Davenport.

Blue Iguana

Perched on top of a hill overlooking the river, Blue Iguana serves up tasty Mexican food with some of the best views of the Mississippi around. Check it out the next time you're in Le Claire.

Location: 201 North Cody Rd, Le Claire.

Sippi's American Grill

Sippi's patio is the ultimate spot for relaxation. Enjoy a sun soaked lunch outside with one of Sippi's famous burgers, and return for beers later that night under their twinkly lights.

Location: 406 W. 2nd St, Davenport.

Bierstube Moline

The Bierstube's Le Claire location has excellent river views, but the biergarten at their Moline location also has a great atmosphere. Bands often play live music for patio guests to enjoy on weekends.
