If you thought outdoor dining was best reserved for springtime, think again! At Pier 500, you can enjoy riverfront vistas even during the cold months of winter, thanks to heated igloos. But these aren’t your typical igloos. Lovingly referred to as “bigloos,” the pop-up abodes are spacious, toasty, and the perfect place to warm up with friends on a brisk winter night. Take a look:

Promising a “pier-fect dining experience,” Pier 500 boasts amazing views of the St. Croix River and the historic Hudson Pier.

Its waterfront locale may not seem too appetizing in the winter; however, that couldn’t be further from the truth – and it’s all thanks to the eatery’s heated igloos!

The fact that the igloos are nice and toasty is just one perk, though. They’re also super cozy, boasting comfy furniture and even blankets.
