In Nashville, patio season doesn’t end when summer does. September still brings plenty of warm days, crisp evenings, and that perfect in-between weather that begs for good food, cold drinks, and a seat outside.
That’s why at M.L.Rose, we like to think of this time as prime patio season. Whether you’re catching a football game, grabbing burgers with friends, or just soaking up the last golden hours of sunshine, our patios are the neighborhood’s go-to hangout.
Burgers That Belong Outdoors
There’s a reason we’re known for having some of the best burgers in Nashville; they just hit differently when you’re sitting outside with a cold beer in hand.
Craving something classic? The ANM.L.-STYLE (two juicy smash patties with American cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, and awesome sauce) is always a winner.
Feeling bold? Try the Fried Chicken Sandwich, fried chicken, shredded iceberg, pickles, Duke’s mayo on a Martin’s potato bun. It’s spicy, indulgent, and perfect alongside a pint.
And of course, no patio meal is complete without a basket of our loaded fries, topped with melted cheddar & jack cheese, bacon, tomato, green onions, of course.
Fall Beers Made for Patio Season
While burgers are the star of the menu, nothing rounds out the patio experience like a rotating lineup of craft beer. This fall, we’re pouring seasonal standouts that make patio sipping even better:
- Weihenstephaner Festbier (5.8% ABV, Weihenstephaner Brauerei – Germany). Smooth, malty, and Oktoberfest-approved.
- Austin Eastciders Blackberry Cider (5.0% ABV, Austin, TX). Tart, crisp, and refreshing enough for those still-warm afternoons.
- Melrose Hazy IPA (6.2% ABV, Hi-Wire Brewing Co. + M.L.Rose – Asheville, NC). Our own house hazy, packed with juicy tropical flavor.
- Yazoo Nut Brown Ale (4.9% ABV, Nashville, TN). A local Nashville classic, nutty and roasty enough to signal fall but easy-drinking enough for patio hangs.
Prefer a cocktail? Our Casa-Rita Margarita and the bold Devil’s Reserve Margarita bring all the right flavors to your table.
And if you’re feeling adventurous, grab a Featured Flight — like Teddy Loves Cerveza, Black Abbey Lager, Festbier, Melrose Hazy, and Leather Jacket Porter — to taste your way through the season.
Patios + Football = Nashville’s Game Day Secret
Why watch football on the couch when you can do it with the neighborhood on the patio? At M.L.Rose, every TV is tuned in to the biggest SEC matchups and NFL action, making game day the perfect excuse to stay outdoors.
Saturdays also mean one thing: Wing Wars. Order our Buffalo, Honey Hot, or Garlic Parmesan wings and rack up points for your SEC team; every wing counts toward bragging rights.
Pro tip: Saturdays also bring our 24 wings for $30 special (dine-in only). That’s a patio party waiting to happen.
Why Our Patios Just Hit Different
From Sylvan Park to Melrose, every M.L.Rose patio is designed for good vibes:
- String lights that make every night feel like a block party.
- Big tables for groups (because the more friends, the more wings).
- Heaters when the air turns crisp, so patio season lasts as long as possible.
- A neighborhood feel that makes M.L.Rose the go-to for Nashville patio dining.
As summer fades and fall settles in, Nashville’s best hangout is still outside. Burgers, wings, local beer, and plenty of space to cheer on your team, that’s what patio season at M.L.Rose is all about.
So round up your crew, grab a table, and let’s keep the season going. Because around here, every day is a patio day.
