You go to Black Sheep Lodge in South Austin to watch sports on the patio with a dozen picnic tables. But you also go to Black Sheep Lodge for its Black Sheep Burger, made with a grilled half-pound patty of ground angus (not sheep like the name implies). We brought this up with management and they said they’d look into it. While the patio’s not enormous, there are four TVs, so there isn’t a bad seat in the place. And with ceiling fans and heat lamps, it’s pretty much a non-stop patio.

Black Sheep Lodge is back open, including its spacious patio.
