Find outdoor dining in Phoenix, compare patios and rooftop bars, and check estimated sun hours before heading out. Sun estimates use the sun's position, available venue sun hours and local weather where available. Guest sun reports are separate observations, not a guarantee of sunshine at a particular table. Coverage is a selection of listed places, not every restaurant in the city. Browse free, or share a group poll to choose where to meet.
Winter sun in Phoenix: patios & rooftops
Best time for winter sun in Phoenix
Winter is patio season in Phoenix: warm, dry afternoons are ideal for outdoor dining before the desert evening cools down.
Find the patio that keeps the sun
Low winter sun can leave patios in building shade before sunset. Compare estimated sun hours for listed Phoenix patios and rooftop bars using available venue hours and local weather. Guest reports are separate observations; forecasts do not guarantee a sunny table. Check today's weather and outdoor service with the venue.

Sun forecasts, with limits made clear
Compare estimated sun hours for 36 listed spots in Phoenix. Calculations and venue-provided hours help with planning, but buildings, umbrellas and a table's position can change actual conditions.
Ratings where available
Check available Google and Sun Map guest ratings alongside venue details. Missing ratings do not imply a place has been reviewed.
Live reports from locals
Guest reports describe conditions someone observed at a venue. Where available, compare these with the forecast; a report is not a promise about your table.
