Patch Picks: Red Ox Tavern Offers Sports Inside, Serenity Outside

The Red Ox Tavern is one of Patch’s favorite bars for outside seating in the warm sunny weather.

If I’m going to do a little write up about which bars have the best outdoor patios for summer that means I should probably visit them, right? Oh, how I love doing research.  Today’s pick of the day is the Red Ox Tavern in Utica for their spacious outdoor patio area, the perfect place to sit back and relax. But that’s not all the Red Ox has to offer. Considered one of the area's top sports bars, the Red Ox has plenty of TVs inside for prime viewing. The outside seating then offers the perfect escape to enjoy some fresh air and some of the tavern’s delicious eats.  Check out their website to see the weekly events such as Monday night Bike Nights and Thursday’s DJ Dancing parties.  Open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Call 586-726-7070 for more …
