Found on the ever-buzzing Market Street, The Distillery is one of the best pubs in Leicester with outdoor seating. The sprawling venue boasts cosy booths, plasma TVs and a sun-soaked terrace out front. This is a fantastic spot for those balmy summer evenings.

The Pug & Greyhound specialises in all things hearty grub and local booze. And, because this is a popular wedding venue, don't be surprised to find the garden decked out with a fairy-lit tipi. But when they're not hosting? You'll be free to drink and dine in lush, green surroundings.

With a canalside location and access to Watermead country park from a large beer garden, The White Horse is ideal when you want a country feel to your outdoor drinking and dining. Expect local gins, Leicestershire vegan wines and modern pub grub.

33 Cank Street's terrace is perfect for enjoying a cocktail in the summer. This well-loved bar is decorated in a charming Art Deco style, with the theme carrying through to the outside. And if the weather decides to turn? A retractable cover will be ready to spring into action.

Situated on Stoughton Grange Farm in Oadby, The Cow and Plough is a top choice for alfresco drinks and dining. They've got plenty of outdoor seating and cracking pints to match, and you can even bring your dog along too.

Their wood-fired pizza shack whips up some of the tastiest slices around, topped with everything from four cheeses to mushroom and artichoke. They offer some British classics too, including juicy burgers or fish and chips.

If you're looking for bars in Leicester with outdoor seating, Revolution is the name of the game. This place also has a spacious streetside terrace that's simply perfect for alfresco eating and drinking (while you top up your tan at the same time, of course).

One of the prettiest beer gardens in the city, Soar Point is a friendly, local boozer that's buzzing on sunny summer days. Backing onto the canal, the colourful tables offer a serene spot to enjoy views over the water. So, grab a pint, watch the swans swim past and relax.

Queen of Bradgate is known for its top-notch food and quirky cocktails. While inside might be a wonderland of mismatched furniture and neon lights, outside is not to be missed either. Head through the bar to find a cool, hidden courtyard that's got alfresco fun written all over it.

Home to one of the best beer gardens in Leicester, The Rutland & Derby is the Millstone Lane boozer that's set to be your summer hangout. Their rooftop suntrap is filled with picnic benches for you and the gang to relax on with cold pints or some delicious food.

A hidden gem located just a few minutes away from Aylestone, The Black Horse is home to a vast outside space. A popular haunt in summer, this Leicester beer garden comes complete with its own well-stocked bar, meaning you won't have far to go when you're ready for a fresh pint.

You may know The Cookie better for its raucous gig nights, but it also boasts one of the best places to drink outside in Leicester. Venture out back for pints with your pals on the pretty decking, or nab a streetside table to watch the world go by.
