Dog-Friendly Restaurants & Cafes in 13 U.S. Cities

After a run at the dog beach or a lap of the park, here are dog-friendly places to eat and drink nearby in each Dog Fun Map city. Each one has a confirmed dog policy, and many offer water bowls, dog menus or heated patios. Find them all on our Dog Fun Map.

Before you go: Patio dog policies change with the seasons. Many patios close or shrink in cold weather, and managers can change the rules. Call ahead or check the venue’s site before you bring your pup, and keep your dog leashed, on the ground, and out of walkways.
