That time of the year has come around again where outdoor dining is out, and igloo dining is in.
Due to a drop in temperatures, the winter time makes it difficult for restaurant goers to enjoy eating food in the outdoors. However, many restaurants across the state are implementing seasonal igloo dining to give customers a chance to sit outside in the comfort of a warm, large plastic bubble.
Here’s where you can get that experience for yourself.
- The Pour Yard in Quincy offers heated igloos for six to 10 people. Igloo reservations are for 90 minutes, with the last one of the night being for 120 minutes. Customers interested in using igloos must pay a non-refundable deposit of $30 per person. Guests can bring their own music or a dessert if they’re celebrating a special occasion as well.
