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.
- Leena’s Place & Leena’s Bartending & Catering located at Cold Springs Country Club in Belchertown offers up one igloo that seats four people, complete with a heater and twinkle lights. The business said it will continue to keep the igloo all year round and provide AC during the summer nights
- 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.
