In Michigan, there’s nothing that brings people out of the woodwork like the first warm and sunny Spring day. Restaurants open their patios to diners and all is right in the universe.

Our first outdoor dining experience of the year was at Tavern on the Main in downtown Clawson. The sun beat down on our pasty skin as we devoured one of their signature burgers.

Tavern on the Main’s patio is quite large, so we definitely recommend stopping there on a nice day. There are many other outdoor dining and drinking options in Clawson, too, such as Mojave Cantina, Black Lotus Brewing Company, Frittata, and more.
