We’re Bar San Miguel, a Mexican restaurant and bar right in the heart of Carroll Gardens. Our cozy, vibrant back patio is the kind of place where people come for more than just food and drinks—it’s where moments happen. With fresh flavors, craft mezcal cocktails, and a space made for sharing good times, we make Outdoor Dining feel special in Carroll Gardens.
It’s not just about sitting outside—it’s about feeling connected, relaxed, and a little festive. Whether it’s a sunny brunch or a breezy dinner under string lights, every seat on our patio comes with a side of good vibes.
1. Local Vibes, Mexican Flavors
A Patio Designed for Connection
We built our space for people— friends catching up after work, families sitting down for a birthday taco fest, couples sharing a margarita under string lights. A study from Toast also shows 41% of guests prefer enjoying cocktails on a patio . We take that seriously, making sure the bar is close by and the mixologists are just steps away.
To make outdoor dining comfortable and convenient, we use shade umbrellas and heaters to keep things cozy. That way, even if the weather changes, our guests stay comfortable. We know that when diners feel good, they stay longer (+5%) and spend more (+6%)
Why Outdoor Dining Works (Data Speaks!)
Outdoor dining isn’t just pleasant—it’s smart business. The National Restaurant Association says 35% of restaurants said over 40% of their daily sales now come from outdoor seats . That’s not surprising—70% of people are willing to wait longer just to sit outside. At Bar San Miguel we see this firsthand—summer nights are full, but people stick with us rather than hopping somewhere else.
Menu Highlights Made for the Patio
We want our patio menu to match our space—vibrant, fun, freshly prepared, and easy to enjoy in the open air.
- Tacos: Choose from pork al pastor, grilled veggie, or barbacoa—all served with warm tortillas and house-made salsas
- Quesadillas and Small Plates: Great for sharing while sipping margaritas
- Signature Cocktails: Think mezcal margaritas and palomas served icy fresh
We aim for Mexican Cuisine in Brooklyn that stays true to its flavors, and tastes even better outside among good company.
