Findlay has many places to bask in the sunshine while enjoying a delicious drink or a meal, with outdoor patios being featured at many of our local restaurants and bars. Findlay’s newest spot, Flighthouse Findlay, which opened in April this year, is getting ready to unveil Findlay’s largest restaurant outdoor patio on Thursday, May 16.
The new outdoor patio will offer a sizable area for people to eat, drink, play and gather. The patio will feature 40 tables for outdoor seating, as well as two pickleball courts, a bocce ball court and a cornhole area.
“It’s a nice place for people to get together, you know, play some games, have some fun. But also you know, have a good drink whether with their family or their friends,” Peyton Hoover, General Manager of Flighthouse, said.
Prices for outdoor games vary. To rent the bocce ball court for an hour it will cost $5. Cornhole rental will cost $3 for the hour. Pickleball is $3 for the day. You can also pay a yearly rental fee for $99 which gives you access to the pickleball court at all hours, even when Flighthouse is closed. Paddles and balls are not provided for pickleball. If you plan on playing a game of pickleball at Flighthouse please bring your own gear.
