Six places in LoDo serve brunch and have outdoor seating, and what separates them is which days brunch runs and whether parking comes with the table. Start with Rioja Larimer Square Patio if the weekend is open: it ties for the highest Google rating on the page at 4.6 of 5, and brunch runs both Saturday and Sunday. If Sunday is the only day free, Denver Milk Market, Kachina and EDGE all work. The stops below run in street order, beginning on Wazee Street.
