  • Review this attraction
  • 1. Armani Café

    Haute couture gets matched with equally haute cuisine at Armani Café. On the patio tables there’s San Pelegrino and tuna tartare; on the patrons there’s lots of black Giorgio.

  • 2. Sonsie

    With windows that open up onto the street, Sonsie sets the alfresco standard at this end of Newbury. The fashionable clientele enjoy light Italocentric cuisine upstairs, and devilish cocktails in the basement Red Room.

  • 3. Stephanie’s on Newbury

    Enjoying one of the most generous portions of Newbury sidewalk, this American bistro packs the tables for the likes of duck and porcini risotto.

  • 4. Tapéo

    Experience a sultry Barcelona night: Newbury’s most romantic alfresco nighttime scene combines intensely flavorful tapas and an extensive Spanish wine list.

  • 5. Ciao Bella

    Ciao Bella is a favorite stop for star athletes, who come for the hearty portions of no-frills Italian cuisine and the sizzling alfresco scene.

  • 6. Davio’s

    With a versatile menu of robust Italian specialties, design-your-own pizzas, and a spacious sidewalk café, Davio’s is sure to please.

  • 7. Joe’s American Bar & Grill

    Although the white tablecloths might suggest refined dining, Joe’s fits squarely in the glorified-burger milieu. Its patio boasts prime people-watching and the staff are kid-friendly.

  • 8. Parish Café

    This split-level café with a patio has a lovely view onto the Public Garden (see Boston Common & Public Garden) and an inspired menu of delicious and wildly creative sandwiches (see Parish Café).

  • 9. Other Side Café

    The Other Side enjoys a loyal following of health-conscious hipsters who melt at the sight of its brie, apple, and pear sandwich. Its intimate outdoor patio is highly coveted real estate.

  • 10. Charley’s

    Surrounded by lush greenery, Charley’s patio feels remarkably secluded despite its prime Newbury Street frontage. Simple bar staples like burgers, chicken wings, and massive salads attract a raucous after-work crowd.
